By Mr. Steven Crowder

CORRECTION: The Conquistadors were 'given' the keys to Aztec throne because of the color of their skin... literally, think do I.  In their religion that was established a few hundred years prior, white skin and blond hair was a core characteristic for them to recognize their 'gods'.  So the Spanish show up, and Aztecs bow down...

Choosing to think Thanksgiving is racist {since some dictionaries seem confused on what is racism} is abundantly Fake News;  And the same is true for choosing to think the Spanish incited the Aztec poor into revolting.  When has "regime change" police ever worked over the long term?

Please stop calling them Mayans.  The Mayans disappeared over a millennium previous to the first signs of Aztecs.   Aztecs were a nomadic tribe that found the empty Mayan houses and decided to start squatting.  Calling current Mexicans of native descent "Mayans" is genetically and factually fake news.

By The Critical Drinker

The movie, and series, are essentially a futuristic take on theme'parks and L.A.R.P.ing {Live Action Role Playing}. And then what are the most popular themes of i.R.L. {in Real Life} LARPS? Those are the themes that a 'company' would explore because it would attract the most number of customers.

"Westworld" is a reboot of an older movie. The original was an amusement park with more than one "zone" people could visit. There was Medievalworld, Romanworld and Westworld. Thus Critical Drinker is simply wrong on the series changing the theme. All themeparks have multiple themes that are explored.

However, the point was each world was one that fit a basic genre, in which their audience wanted to 'play' a 'role'. Few fail to know anything of Shogun Japan, let alone enough to have an interest in roleplaying in it.
