If your ideology can't handle a little cage-rattling, you should question your ideology, cause it probably sucks.

Isn't that claim itself left-wing biased? Left-wing people claim that cutting government programs would hurt the poor, and right-wing people often counter that without the impression that the government is doing their work for them, many more people will donate to privately-run charities that are more efficient than the government.Candlewhisper Archive wrote:As to political bias, I think there's definitely more people on the left than on the right here. That might be a selection bias issue, in that the people who are most interested in building up the community experience for no financial reward are likely those who have mildly left wing tendencies.
Oh. Should have kept reading...Candlewhisper Archive wrote:While there's no difference in charitable nature between right and left, there's a statistical bias towards right wingers being inclined towards religious donation, and the left wing more towards secular projects.

I don't see this as being my responsibility. Issues I write will reflect my values precisely because I wrote them. This doesn't make me evil, so much as it makes me a person with values.
If other people do not think their values are adequately represented, then the solution is for them to contribute content that does represent them. But if they choose to flip the table and quit, then of course the game won't represent them.
But it's their own fault.
The only thing we are obligated to do is wave bye-bye and carry on. And even if we did argue about what is or isn't biased, since we're all biased, the solutions to our biases will just be more biased. Something like that.
At any rate, I'll wager that complainers will not be satisfied until all vales but their own are completely censored. That's what "that's biased!" really means.

And I'm on the left who wrote two environmental issues (bees anyone?), so that seems pretty leftist, so I'm more of an average Joe than the likes of Chan Island and Drasnia.

Or me. Another "right-winger" who enjoys injecting my own biases into the issue pool?
Hey look, it's not good satire unless someone is offended anyway, right? We should all take this as a sign that our efforts have been successful in that regard.
