It's one thing if slavery is left out if it would contribute little to the game play, but due to the RL community being ridiculously sensitive? That really gets to me!

We might as well remove all references to slavery from the history books if it's so easy to pollute society with the mere mentioning of it.

PC really has spiraled completely out of control.
This is definately a sensitive issue, not only for the PC, but for every gaming system. On a given day, you can turn on CNN and find news of kids being traded in asia as prostitutes or of modern day slavery in africa. It's a horrifying and sad. Why would someone want to see it in a game? Some people are "living" it everyday of their lives. In my oppinion, this is NOT something we should glorify, in-game or out.

My 2 cents....
