Thanks for fixing the title!
The hostile reaction to the change some people have had (complaining about "wokeness" or people being "soft") is just proof that the the original was a conservative dogwhistle, whether intentional or not.
Why are you making this a political issue? How do you know the people against the change are conservatives? It seems like you are making links that aren't there. I disagreed with removing the title, and I am not a conservative. I would have the same reaction if they had Obama's slogan: " Yes we can". If I had to bet on why people had "hostile reactions", it would be because of the Thought Police. It limits the freedom of expression, and erroneously makes the world black & white, when there is so much grey. Why were you offended with this title, but not with the Paint The Roses title? "Off with your heads" seems like it's much more of a serious matter than "Make Rauha Great Again". Since I didn't see any complaints on that forum, does it mean that you are for people getting beheaded, or is it that you understand that it is in the context of the game only? There are so many things happening in the world right now, no wonder many readers are annoyed or frustrated by the banality of these complaints about changing a title of a game in a BOARD GAMING WEBSITE. Some are even proclaiming to be really offended and hurt by four words in a title, and changing the word "great" of all words makes their little hearts feel better. I can't blame those that lost their patience. That political campaign has been over for a long time, the title was just a title, get over it.
