[QUOTE="ChiefGritty, post: 1486406, member: 746137"] Whose morality? Whose ethics? Is it Jonathan Sutherland's obligation to just grin and bear it when fans stereotype him as something other than the scholar and leader that he is? Or is it the fans obligation to keep it to themselves when they see their beloved institutions incorporating cultural signifiers that are alien to them? We can all agree that America's great promise is an ethic of live-and-let-live tolerance. But who gets tolerated in an edge case? No one is going to jail, no one is being excommunicated from society, but someone has to sit with some discomfort, someone doesn't get to have things their way. There's a fundamental tension there, it can't be both. [/QUOTE]
