Death of a Game: Total War Arena

Why would "Germanic people" not like the term "Barbarian"?

Because it's LITERALLY an oversimplification of their culture, and a discrimination of such. It's that fucking simple. I don't want someone to call me a dumb squiggly jumple head, I don't need any cultural reasons for why. Add in some that were built around discrimination, used by OTHER PEOPLES...and yeah...I don't want to be called that

A barbarian, or savage, is someone who is perceived to be either uncivilized or primitive.

"It was on [the appropriation and adaptation of Egyptian gods] that Greece was founded, according to Plato--and there is no more reliable witness," writes Roberto Calasso in The Celestial Hunter. "The barbarians were therefore the opposite of what the word has come to mean in modern times. They were not new, rough, inarticulate, strong people. They were civilizations much older than Greece--particularly Egypt, Mesopotamia, Persia--that had achieved a noble and immovable wisdom."
The Romans used the term barbarus for uncivilised people, opposite to Greek or Roman, and in fact, it became a common term to refer to all foreigners among Romans after Augustus age (as, among the Greeks, after the Persian wars, the Persians), including the Germanic peoples, Persians, Gauls, Phoenicians and Carthaginians."

Damn I should keep using a term that INCORRECTLY describes MASSIVE THOUSAND+ YEAR OLD CIVILIZATIONS.
Because people think I am offended!

#DOAG . Death of a Game is a series dedicated to uncovering the mysteries surrounding the death of a game or company. nerdSlayer defines the term "death" in the context of the show as either... 1. Literally dead. 2. Had a mass exodus of players and never recovered (expectations etc). 3. The company ceased to exist. We follow a timeline of events, to uncover clues concerning why a game or company doesn't do well, and attempt to put it all together at the end for a deduction explaining how or why the game failed based on the evidence gathered.

1: No discrimination or hate speech.
