Why are NISEI dead-set on trying to change old FFG terms that are already established and not offensive to anyone by maybe 1-2 potential players that would get over it or never play already?

It's almost like they put up a thorough blogpost that explains their reasoning fully. If only you could read, OP.
>HERP DERP EXPLAINER
Their explanation is bullshit. "Potential players are offended by a game mechanical term" is bullshit and you know it.
Go back to their Discord, where it's clear you come from.
Take a moment to consider if you're acting like someone they'd want to please. Based on your posts, I'd change game terminology around just to spite you.
Language policing and advice on language policing has become a business. It will seek to sustain itself through 'correcting' various games.
The moral authorities take on this misses the point, many things can be used as a slur or a derogatory term, just changing the name does not remove the content. But they wish for being able to reform people by changing the words because its easier, faster, etc.
You core damaged a-typ, take your meds.
brain damaged Black folk dont play card games
and sure as frick not boutique asymmetric ones
take your histrionic what-ifs back to whatever homosexualpit excreted you
Their blogpost gave me core damage
what is the offensive term
Brain damage
Sorry, I mean brain injury
C-core damage, it's core damage!
It's par for the course these days.
Was looking at some reprints of MtG cards and they changed some text from
>Colored Spells
to
>Spells that are one or more colors.
I'm not a fan either.
That's for clarity purposes. They still talk about things being mono or multicolored.
Brain Damage was a bad term anyway, because the word brain damage has a very specific meaning which wasn't what this actually referred to.
Frick you. Brain damage as a result of Black level ICE directly frying your brain, making you lose your grip on reality, has been a thing since neuromancer.
Yadda yadda, the term "Brain Damage" is still bad. Because a character within the game who gets "Brain damage" is not actually fricking brain damaged. Unless they lose through brain damage, in which case they finally do acquire the actual brain damage.
It would be like having a health track called "Decapitation" but you only actually get decapitated if the health track is filled with damage.
>its bad beacuse I'm too stupid to understand it
Holyshit you're an idiot. You can have some brain damage and recover, people do. You can have too much and not recover. That happens too.
If you can't understand the metaphors at work with your Grip being your hand and Brain Damage making you have less Grip, and this being a key cyberpunk concept you should stick your head under a moving train. This will cause permanent brain damage, or maybe even decapitation you are unlikely to recover from.
You got it wrong, this doesn't make sense. Even this logic can't justify such change of term.
>Because a character within the game who gets "Brain damage" is not actually fricking brain damaged
yes they are
I don't disagree with their statement that "brain damage" can feel thematically quite limiting, but I think 'core damage' feels too nebulous. Something like "Lasting Damage" may have been better.
>"brain damage" can feel thematically quite limiting
the person's brain is hooked into a computer and it is damaged
disgusting
more performative wokeness
people with actual brain damage wouldn't actually care, they've got brain damage
I have brain damage and all I can say is what the frick else are you going to call damage being caused directly to your brain?
This is just fricking stupid.
look, they arent making any money off this and just want some promo on twitter
also it's literally illegal in setting to try to cause brain damage but the corps do it anyway and the runners risk it anyway
