And as stated before, that is no excuse or justification for abuse and threats.
Don't like it? Don't like what it (in your own mind anyway) represents? Then just don't buy it. It really is that simple.

The world seems to have become full of those who are enthusiastic about being offended on someone else's behalf. I have spent my working life working in a multi-ethnic environment, and have yet to find any non-Christians offended by Christmas, yet there are those who are keen to celebrate 'Winterfell' on their behalf instead.
As regards the figures, I do find it fascinating that the figures that sell most seem to be the losers, both Napoleonic and Nazis. It would be nice to see a series of Allied pilots and their tailfins, likewise the obsession with the Kreigsmarine U-boat captains as opposed to the very successful RN submarine branch captains &c.

There's an article in this week's British Medical Journal regarding this.

What the hell is winter fell
that's a new one on me . Anyway why don't we all go back to celebrating the winter Solstice and the return of the sun .makes more sense as at least we can celebrate something we can actually see and know exists .

"Winterfell". It's the castle and seat of the House Stark in the "Game of Thrones" saga.
I didn't see the series, but read the books.
Prost!

I was following this latest Kickstarter campaign from Scale 75 and was ready to, “pull the pin” on a pledge level when the sudden announcement of its cancelation was posted. (I pledged for their earlier campaigns for the U-boat and Chronicles of Run series also.) I was very disappointed that they did and the only thing that I observed from their presentation that I thought might upset the less figure painting knowledgeable crowd was the one page where they displayed Luftwaffe memorabilia along with the vignettes.
They had a Luftwaffe marked helmet, several air medals and a believe a ceremonial dagger as well. I could see people taking the wrong meaning from this and forcing Kickstarter to pull it. I most certainly agree with the majority here that this amounts to censorship of the remembrance of history that we as figure artists try to recreate.
I hope that Scale 75 markets these items on their site. The weathering sets they were adding to complete the vignettes I would hope would not offend anyone, but in this day and age who knows, maybe the earth tones were too, “racial”

Hi Guys
Sure we all agree it's sad that Scale 75 took the decision and all have their thoughts on it which is good to see here ....and there's some friendly banter as well
Happy benchtime to all

Churchill was so right when he stated the the "new facists will call themselves anti-facists......but it goes as far as we let it go.
I'm one of the most UNpolitical correct guys on the Planet and man...I'm proud of it because.....I am the one to decide what is correct and what is not !!!!

These days people are searching for things to be offended from. If you start talking about sewing needles some one eyed persons is bound to be offended.
