Ah Saturnalia. The day rape, boozing, and general hedonism. Yuck. Although I do love Saturday for the "no work or school" apsect.

@WC-83: I disagree. Indifference about the suffering of other, especially your kin and race is wrong in my eyes. If a person doesn't care about anything else they should care about their family. And your people are part of that. Ignoring your culture is like ignoring your history. Ignoring your history is like ignoring reality. And if all someone is going to do is focus on themselves and to hell with the world's problems, well then that person might as well live on a planet by themselves. No man is an island. No one is alone. So don't ignore the world but want the world's help when you're in trouble.

How many games have I played from JAPAN that speak against discrimination and racism and forcing religion down people thought. Yet in those same games you can't find a single black or latino person. You can't talk out both sides of your neck. Discrimination is wrong but it's okay when you're making JRPGs? Celebrating JPN culture is great but it's okay to ignore African, South American, and Aboriginal culture? Why?

No matter how far we go into the future, people don't change. They only care about their own little sphere of the world and can't even begin to care less for the rest. People are dying out there. Mother Nature is suffering from pollution. Babies are born with AIDS. But you just gotta get that new IPhone, huh? People are struggling to pay rent. Some going homeless. Kids growing up with battered parents. But you gotta have the $8 latte. I work a minimum wage bookstore shipping job and barely make enough to pay rent. So I go to the fucking local church for hand-off of old food each Saturday and Tuesday. And the only time I splurge is when I buy the occasional RPG one every 4 months or so.

That why I wish I was a hero. Because I give a shit. Because I would bleed for the little guys out there suffering. But when you're born powerless through and through, all you can do feel their pain. And hope depression doesn't claim you.

That's why I see the WF the way I do. IN MY EYES they are a suffering people driven to the brink. And it's sad that they're going to die because of a selfish madman who snapped a long time ago due to hate and possessive issues. We have to change as a people. And if we can't at least try to instill new hope and ideas of compassion in out literature. I hope RT has the guts to pull that off. Don't let me down RWBY.
