: You Don't Know the History of Pirates and Ninjas! I do!
Fabletown, the official forums of my monthly comic obsession: Fables, is a pretty decorous place.
Or it was, until someone started a pirate vs. ninja poll in the off-topic forum. This irreverent attitude seriously offended Lang Caul who started a new thread to complain that people were being disrespectful to the true history of pirates and ninjas.
ETA: A Fabletown mod complains that this report is naming real names. Ironically, "Lang Caul" is "long cool" in Robbie-Burns style Scottish dialect. Not a real name at all.

"Or when people make a novel about ninjas but ignore lots of historical and political matters that were relevant to ninjas. And pirates, too. And then people think, wow, ninjas were so cool, they did whatever they wanted to, and they had their own tribes and stuff, wow... and pirates were all fun and games, steal stuff, rob from people, have fun, wow, that's so cool... It's great to learn something about history, I'm glad I read this book or watched this movie!"( More underneath the cut including, 'D&D is the primary cause of what's wrong with America's understanding of folklore and mythology.' )
