| Message | Case by case basis is just fine. Some artists might encourage religious terrorism or Zogism and should not be tolerated. |

| Message | Art is essentially free speech. What we have now is the government deciding, on a case-by-case basis, who is allowed to speak. This bill allows all artists the ability to speak freely using their art as their voice. We disagree with the RSB argument on this issue. Just because some people don't have nice things to say doesn't mean that we should repress their voice. The laws on free speech still apply also, so terrorism would be dealt with the same way in art as it would be with speech. |

| Random fact: Cultural Protocol bills must provide a real-life equivalent or short description for the ethnic groups, languages and religions contained in them, such that it would be easy for an unfamiliar player to understand (e.g. "Dundorfian = German"). Where appropriate, they should also provide guidance to players on where to find help with translations and character names. This might include, for example, links to Google Translate, Behind the Name's Random Name Generator and Fantasy Name Generators. |
