Gao Link ParentSounds shady, they're basically using that branch as a scapegoat not to run the entire thing to the ground. Sad for board game enjoyers.Sounds shady, they're basically using that branch as a scapegoat not to run the entire thing to the ground. Sad for board game enjoyers.

I'd say the patronizing and often nearsighted view of ethnographers has been an issue since the fouding fathers of the social science, hence the famous personal diary of Malinowski and the polemic wrote by Geertz and others around it it. I think in general an ethnography represents as much the population being documented as the author, and that's not necessarily a bad thing.
Funnily enough I've always seen ethnography as more of an anthropology thing, curious how the article calls out Sociology specifically instead of Social Sciences or Anthropology itself.
