Very detailed. I don't want to know how many hours of work went into it.
It reflects the Southern atmosphere of that time very well. I don't see any racism in it; it reflects American history, and it's very, very beautifully done! I feel like I'm back in the movie. The ballroom scene is amazing 11 days ago - mark as helpful (1) - report |

What an awesome build. Interesting with the NPC's. I didn't find anything racist. It was that way, and ignorance will always be here. Now we all work our fingers to the bone, while the rich get richer. You cannot erase history. You can only learn from it.

This region is racist, whether or not it's the intention of the region creator or not. It simply is, as were and are the book and film that inspired it. I don't think Gone with the Wind should be erased from history. It can be used as a tool to learn about racism in film and literature. But I don't think it should be a region offered for fun and leisure either. It could be listed as education and presented in an honest light.
Margaret Mitchell was a racist who wrote a "romance story" in 1930. But it wasn't just a romance. It was set against an inaccurate depiction of slavery and Scarlett O'Hara and Rhett Butler were in fact white supremacists. "Anyone who’s even heard of Gone with the Wind knows that its depiction of slavery is inaccurate, and its portraits of Black characters are racist. But the scale of its distortions of American history is vastly underestimated, even by people broadly familiar with that history. That mythmaking remains so serviceable, so gratifying, to globally popular ideas about America that it continues to shape the world’s understanding of United States history to a gratuitous degree."
