Sometimes, when you are coming up with scenarios for fiction, you have to think if the plot will go well in our current climate.
For example, I have a Strangereal (Ace Combat)-like fictional universe. In it, I have an idea for a 3-way war that happens in said universe. Basically, an island territory is allowed to secede from its host nation, and becomes a quasi-libertarian nation, but this creates opposition from both far-left and far-right factions. In total, there are 3 factions:
* The newly created nation
* A far-left, post-colonial anarchist liberation front comprised of some of the indigenous population along with allies.
* Some far-right, imperial Japan-like country who takes it as an opportunity to conquer the newly independent territory.
All three factions are at war with each other. In the game you are able to pick which faction you are on. The only problem is that I feel like such a scenario would be controversial. I just thought a 3-way conflict would be interesting and this is the first scenario that came to my mind.
Do you think this is fine? I have other stories for this setting, including an American-like country going to war with a country that is like a Modernized Roman Empire.
This goes with what I said earlier, every gamedev community (outside of /agdg/ threads) is pozzed. You will be ostracized unless you fully subscribe to SJW ideology. It's why even in the indie scene, it's hard to find non-pozzed game developers. You even have to request an account (while providing links to other sites and profiles for manual approval) just to be on this instance.

There is finally boss music. It was hard to find a good track because I don't want anything too epic as I might use that for a better game.

As of this afternoon, add @wikipedia to the list of websites that need Javascript to load stylesheets, so the page looks awful without JS enabled.
Disappointed.
