[QUOTE="Cap'n Kobold, post: 9313372, member: 6802951"] You're entitled to your opinion on half-races when it comes to elves and orcs, but they too can be important when it comes to representation. As such WotC is unlikely to erase them from their worlds. People care. People who play this game. Real people, in the real world. That's who cares. Also apparently: You. Since you have spent a fair amount of words on the subject even before I started posting. That is the first time I have seen anyone even imply that people be forced to play characters with the same complications that they have. Are you engaging in hyperbole, or do I have someone on ignore? You don't want to play a character in a wheelchair? Good for you! That is fine; no one is suggesting that you have to. The existence of wheelchairs in the setting doesn't requite you to play a character who is in one. There are people other than you in this hobby however, and they have different preferences. Some of them want to play characters who do use a wheelchair, or need glasses, or whatever other part of diverse representation offends you so. Both WotC and many other D&D players want those people to feel comfortable within the hobby. Now, to be blunt, I doubt that we'll see more than one person in a wheelchair in the D&D 2024 PHB art, if even that. But I hope there will be diversity depicted in attractiveness, skin tone, gender, and other factors that may have traditionally been excluded. . . . Its . . . [I]escapism[/I]. For people. All people.
