Meanwhile, in my personal experience, what is considered to be an 'extremist' character changes in definition by the day. Often at the whims of role-players with a perpetual chip atop their shoulders who seek to exploit the art as a means of spreading certain ideologies.

I've also seen a mysterious trend where many role-players insist that it is perfectly fine to portray their character as racist or discriminatory towards Garlean characters (even those not aligned with Garlemald as a whole) but it is considered unacceptable for Garlean characters to do as much themselves.
