Myself and one other player (the dm’s girlfriend) deliberately got ourselves captured by an evil empire to infiltrate and liberate a concentration camp. What we knew before getting ourselves captured was that they have been taking away anyone without their “papers” and people of certain races, including the other player’s race. When we got there all of the prison guards were really nice and the prisoners were totally fine. One of them legitimately said that it was good to be away from the bigotry outside of the concentration camp. At this point we stopped the session, yelled at the dm and got him to agree to rewrite this section. I dont know how anyone could possibly think this was ok.
Like I get that angle if the later plan is “evil mage was actually making them remember things as pleasant and not literally torture” or some “no war in basingse” type hypnosis but to just be like “we did a racism and ethnic cleansing but its okay and everyone is happy about it” is absolutely fucked up. The “concentration camp is a lovely summer getaway” idea only works as a plot point if the immediate follow up is literally that evil things are being covered up or that its an attempt to pacify people before the real evil shit starts.
Leftist rpg groups are essential to avoid contracting brainworms. You just know this lib is posting on a forum like “why can’t my party handle tough topics/subverting tropes” :agony-4horsemen:
If that was his plan then I would be very impressed and we would have to apologize for giving him so much shit, but i dont think he would have agreed to rewrite this encounter if that were the case.
Oh absolutely I doubt it was going that direction, I think you made the right call since he immediately agreed to a rewrite.
I explicitly asked him if that was the plan and he said “That would have been huge brain but I’m bad”
