D&D/Star Wars Wank
Although this thread is still fairly civil right now, the subject itself strikes me as pretty whiny and wanky, and I think it's worth keeping an eye on in any case.

A thread is created on the D&D forums complaining about "oriental crap" in D&D sourcebooks. Many people seem to believe that D&D should be entirely western-based, while others like the idea of adding Asian elements. Others point out that nobody's forcing anyone to use these ideas in campaigns if they don't want to, but apparently even having pages taken up by discussions of non-Western materials is somehow offensive.

Also, discussion about whether or not Star Wars has Asian influences.

A few quotes:
"Well, I am sorta going agree with the OP's rant here. Not because the "oriental stuff" is worthless, no. It's not. It's because i am tired of reading all the Anime' boys and self-appointed experts who WILL constanly whine and complain about anything slightly oriental."

"they should make seperate books for oriental garbage or just make oriental web enhancements."

"That's one problem with oriental stuff, you can't pronounce anything without having a tumor. I'm exagerating but what the heck is a giru and gimu for example?"

Attempt at sarcasm:
"I am the end all and be all of DnD players. nothing should be in the game that doesn't bend to my elitist tendencies!"

And retaliation:
"nice attempt at seeming snide and intelligent while attempting to point out others prejudices and short-sightedness."

The third page is where the potential for actual wank seems to be developing:
"I'm not insulted.

I'm actually amazed at how touchy people on these boards are.

Everyone always seems to think that everyone else is insulting them.

I'm merely commenting on the issue."

"This whole thread is one big exercise in "I know more about medieval culture than you do becuase I spent my lonely Friday evening reading a book about Norse mythology."
