I pose a question to the Scadians at large
Now that I'm done pitching my little fit...(well, pausing, anyway)
Here's a philosophical question...
Why is it more or less acceptable (at least by MK standards) to throw an early period event, and even make it annual.... but not to theme something to later periods, because "that would make it too narrow focus and people wouldn't come."
Why is it acceptable to host an event pointed at a minor culture but not anything, say, French? Never have I seen a "Germanic Symposium" or a "French Cuture Study Day." To suggest a thing gets you "the look." (Even if you don't actually suggest the "Cheese-eating Surrender Monkey" tourney.)
Has Political Correctness come to mean anything that's considered "minority?"
Or is it that unusual cultures tend to become at least temporary fads and attract attention, at least in the short term?
