Yeeeeah. And I'm really not sure that I'm the person who's in the right position to do it (basically, I know enough to know that it's a MINEFIELD, but not enough not to blow myself or someone else up, metaphorically speaking), and if I'm going to do stuff based in my own country at all for the fest the end answer may just be "I leave that peripheral and just try not to lock in anything too faily" and commit the sin of omission rather than of fucking up.

I'd have the same problem if the scope of my writing would include, say, Afro-Diasporan religions or other ones that have a view of REALITY and how it works that is different from that normal to post-Enlightenment Europe. Just, you know. This is the issue that's in my hometown, so to speak, so it's right there and personal.
