I'm going to assume that was a bit of sarcasm and not an actual urdoinitwrong.
Really, Samira, I don't think so.
We spent years being the herf-blurf we-rape-slaves-and-break-all-our-own-laws race. It took us ages to get over having a child molester as a leader. We had him try to commit genocide for no apparent reason except For The Evulz.
Really, Samira, we've spent long enough being the pariah race. I'm tired of it. I want to be able to have a discussion that doesn't ultimately come down to "RAWR YOU STEAL OUR PEOPLE" or some variation thereof.
So I don't think it's "whining" to - for just a while - want our leaders to be a reasonable person who doesn't go out and provoke the entire rest of New Eden and make 75% of my RP the same old rehashed arguments.
