Anyway glad you found my info on FW and good catch with St. Sebastian (probably a reference to art history as much as film too). <br /><br />Yes Galloway became very interested in civil rights for LGBT, but that was mostly after FW.Mike Monacohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11474135378521139178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267969747540274910.post-88771087822827557732012-11-13T19:29:53.854-06:002012-11-13T19:29:53.854-06:00Hi John, glad you found my FW info.
Interestingly...Hi John, glad you found my FW info.<br /><br />Interestingly FW has been criticized as being homophobic because homosexuality seems to be a 'disadvantage' on the bogey chart (by the same reasoning though bisexuality is an advantage in FW!) -- but I think that is very unfair. Being a moslem, jew, etc. are also disads in FW because it is assuming a medieval worldview where such groups are persecuted. <br /><br />I think the St. Sebastian thing could be a bit of an in-joke because some art historians claimed that anyone depicting his martyrdom is eroticizing the male form, etc. Hmm, come to think of it there is that REM video too.<br /><br />Anyway Bruce Galloway definitely had a political and personal interest in LGBT issues, but I don't think there is much about that in FW. You probably caught the only mention of the subject apart from the bogey table and a few miscellaneous jokes and comments, some very goffy, like the chapter on fantasy literature.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267969747540274910.post-69985598228286767372012-11-12T23:46:05.677-06:002012-11-12T23:46:05.677-06:00I discovered this very comprehensive review of Fan...I discovered this <a href="http://mikemonaco.wordpress.com/bruce-galloways-fantasy-wargaming/" rel="nofollow">very comprehensive review of Fantasy Wargaming</a> Tallgeesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16045006122540505779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267969747540274910.post-7327861472836447882012-11-12T23:07:26.685-06:002012-11-12T23:07:26.685-06:00And apparently Bruce Galloway authored a number of...And apparently Bruce Galloway authored a number of books at least two of which dealt with gay history/politics.Tallgeesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16045006122540505779noreply@blogger.com
