Yes please consider changing this title for reasons already stated. That phrase really only has one connotation these days and it's not a pleasant one.

I'm not going to waste time trying to reason with you, I know it is pointless based on that alone. I am only quoting this to point out that there is absolutely no way that any of us that are objecting to this statement are among those that politicized this. Those people are glad to see such a horrible statement on here and will likely scream about it's (hopefully) eventual removal.

Actually you do not know my political views, I don't just fit in one box. You are making political assumptions that aren't true, and now I feel like I should share that I have never liked Donald Trump and I would never have voted for him if I were American. I'm not even a conservative, or a republican if I were American. Even if you were right and I did support Donald Trump, that would not make me a bad person.

I am aware of the reference to the slogan, but it's just that, a reference to a slogan. By using the title "Make Rauha great again", the author was not giving his political support to any party and it wasn't intended to express political support. Some commenters on here are making it political, and I just felt like my voice should be heard. Not everyone thinks like the few people that are complaining, and I would guess that most people don't care about the title. I can't blame them if they do end up changing it though, as it's such a silly thing to be complaining about. But if they don't, much respect to them for not reacting to unreasonable demands.

Cancelling a board game because of a title, what a world we live in

Thank you for the title change. It's a small thing but it makes a difference!

I took zero offense to the title.
Excited to try a new game!

We say what's allowed and what isn't. Stand down.

Aww... look at you joining in with the grown-ups' conversation: good for you, champ!

Is it mature and rational to believe the slogan of a major US presidential campaign was a super secret coded message to a hidden army of racists?

"The word brainwashed is still informally used to describe someone who holds strong ideas that are implausible and are completely resistant to evidence, common sense, experience and logic. Especially when these ideas developed under external influence e.g. books, TV programs, other people or a religious organization." - psychologistworld.com

So a bunch of * is all it takes to change / cancel something? ) fortunately, the golden days of wokeness will soon be gone.
