Jag har läst WotCs disclaimer ...
"We (Wizards) recognize that some of the legacy content available on this website does not reflect the values of the Dungeons & Dragons franchise today. Some older content may reflect ethnic, racial, and gender prejudice that were commonplace in American society at that time. These depictions were wrong then and are wrong today. This content is presented as it was originally created, because to do otherwise would be the same as claiming these prejudices never existed. Dungeons & Dragons teaches that diversity is a strength, and we strive to make our D&D products as welcoming and inclusive as possible. This part of our work will never end".
... och försökt förstå den i relation till de konsekvenser som beskrivs i indiegogokampanjen ...
This disclaimer attempts to make a statement of fact argument, and therefore paints all of the writers, editors, artists and consumers of those products as supporting those alleged prejudices, stereotypes and bigotry, wrongfully claimed to be part of those products. This statement by Wizards of the Coast opens the possibility for the producers and players of these "Legacy Products" to face ridicule, and face the labeling as "bigots", "racists", "misogynists", and worse Cyber & Physical Attacks!
... och har landat i följande slutsats: Om disclaimern faktisk hade inneburit det som kampanjtexten anger borde mängder med kreatörer och spelare från 70- och 80-talen vara upprörda och strömma till för att stötta TSR3. TSR3 har dock inte något överväldigande stöd. I skrivandets stund har kampanjen 63 backare. Alltså gör de flesta en annan, med all sannolikhet mildare, tolkning av disclamern än vad Justin LaNasa gör. Man kan tänka sig att det får honom att känna sig ännu mer kränkt.
