You misunderstand me duchess, I don’t know if it’s intentional mischief or just an inability to communicate.
A) if I say something is interesting then it’s because I actually find it interesting. It is interesting that chess, probably because of its wide distribution over many cultures for a long time, has ceased to be tied to any culture in terms of its design. Whereas Mahjong is apparently very culturally sensitive for some people in terms if it’s design.
B) you clearly think that by bombarding a post with the opinions of people that I have no knowledge of, or respect for, you can win the debate instead of putting forward an intellectual argument for your ethnocentric stance
It’s a game duchess if some idiots have got upset about the design on a tile with everything that’s going in right now and some other weak idiots have admitted guilt because they transgressed some eternal and universal law of Mahjong tile design then so be it.
I play mahjong about 4 or 5 times a week I like the traditional designs without having a clue about their meanings or cultural importance, I just think they are pretty. I wouldn’t go looking for alternative tile designs but I refuse to take their existence as a matter of any significance.
Get a grip.
