Having spent a tedious hour playing this dumb game with the seldom seen kid I'm convinced it is racialist and sexist.
I'm convinced it's not but you are. Those who tend to see political issues everywhere are more likely to do so because they themselves are obsessed with it.

Scumple wrote:Also eliminating people from the game on the grounds of looks and gender when there is already massive gender/race discrimination in society is the wrong kind of profiling example to set kids....ethnic cleansing. It's not wholesome, maybe for law enforcement training in multi-cultural neighbourhoods, but as a standard social game it's bad, bad and bad.
The game is "I am a person, guess which person I am" and teaches kids how to intelligently work an answer out by elimination. So either you are trolling, or...no, pretty sure you have to be trolling. This is not a philosophical discussion, it's hyperbolic ass-wankery. Ethnic cleansing, for fuck's sake.

A game teaches 'surface discrimination' and isolating individuals from the crowd in a emerging-surveillance-culture is deeply serious. It's only a game but it is highly popular in America and I'm sure a study of the demographics of it's spread would reveal more than playing it.

Well, I'm not calling him a troll really, just that sometimes he trolls for interesting responses (but I wouldn't really care if he was). I am not bothered by it other than the fact that I would rather not engage if I knew for sure. I admit, C/Sc(r)umple confounds me, but occasionally makes me laugh too.

I suspect he's have a bit of a light troll. He's good value, in my book.
