@Tikkit - Yeah, that detail about the 'birth' issue is KC's biggest blunder on the lore. Sometimes I too feel he shouldn't have added it in the first place. Besides, the Order and CG would have had enough reasons to wage war without it.

@Hound - Mamonos aren't perfect, but indeed they do more than make up for it.

@Doc - I suppose you're right. The setting is more or less a "blank slate" of sorts, meant for us to make up our own stories. But like I said, some concepts and ideas sound to iffy for me. For instance, when you talked about that dark god and what he did with some Mamonos, it was genuinely frightning to see Mamonos twisted and corrupted that way. I'm sorry. I guess stories can't be dramatic or interesting if no Mamonos gets in danger.

@Carric - Some people are just ignorant. But on the other hand, you can't just blame every single one. That's what scares me: some complaints may be in fact justifiable. On a slightly unrelated note, I'm kinda guilty of that myself since I complained about some fan Mamonos, even though the guys who made them are actualy cool people (whom I won't name) and probably didn't deserve my criticism because I tend to exagerate some negative things myself. I just don't know how to measure with reactions.

@Weary - Yeah, those chat boards were hard to read. Not all of them were dicks though, as some folks tried to defend and explain why MGE isn't so bad, yet many insisted on going Warhammer 40K on the setting. And then there's this guy who said: "I can get into MGQ but not MGE due to the unintentional grimdarkness, like the fact that the demon lord is pretty much genociding human woman, and dwarves and elves as well. At least MGQ is honest about it". To that rando I say: Fuck off. Just... fuck off.

@Isaac - No, you weren't mushy at all. It's nice to be honest about these things  and I know the feeling but really, I wish I could do the same without sounding weird because I too am pretty socialy awkward (to the point where I'm scared that I might have pissed off some people here). I just hope I'm able to make good relations here like you have. And while it saddens me know that MGE isn't perfect, it's understandable that it has to be balanced. Whatever makes it work, I guess.

@Jester - Yeah, I get ya. I shouldn't have been swayed like this. But I have a tendency to overthink too much when I research things and often question myself, not knowing what's right sometimes. Like my aforementioned social awkwardness, I also have trust issues. It's... rather painful, honestly. As for edgy Superman; I dunno, Injustice was fairly well received, wasn't it ?

@Darth - It's fair to be neutral and there's no problem in that. And I can't argue with the coin and colors allegory, but like I said, due to my aforementioned trust issues, I am in a way, kinda tired of "gray areas". It's just that, sometimes, I just wish thigs were clear-cut in both real life and fiction (especialy real life). Man, Ireally need to get out more too...
