I think it's a matter of knowing people's comfort levels. I myself prefer to avoid using various racial and ethnic slurs in my gaming - I personally don't like hearing that sort of stuff coming out of my mouth (I guess I'd make for a lousy actor in that regard).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05301894021722065249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1875809174948068444.post-80172218170291022652012-09-09T09:27:48.550-04:002012-09-09T09:27:48.550-04:00I've had a few problems in games using what wo...I've had a few problems in games using what would be considered normal ways to look at race in a conversation during the middle ages, when the other players thought they were my own opinions.
