The point isn't to moralize or repress someone's real-life gender identity. The point is that in this world, and in particular my take on it, "men come from Mars, women come from Venus". That doesn't mean I think all real-life men comes from Mars or that real-life women can't come from Mars (if you excuse my mixed metaphors).
But the point of the trope "men come from mars..." is to suggest exactly that, that all men and all women are inherently
different by no other virtue than being men or being women. But I'm confused, you find this term applicable IRL, but then a moment later you say it's not 100% applicable? Then why apply it to begin with?
If we're creating an RPG and our first assumption is to say "All orcs are born evil."
And then our second assumption is to say "But player character orcs can be the exception."
Then our first assumption is false, and need not be included.
It means I'm basing the game on a stereotype that I think adds value and sets the game apart.
The real cringe starts here, and it gets worse as you keep typing. However, I want to ask: "what value?" Not in a rhetorical "what value!?" to imply that there is no value, but in that I understand it adds
personal value to you, but I'm unclear as to what value this is bringing to the campaign or Brand New Game you're envirioning?
Can you perhaps explain what value you feel is added? Maybe a couple points? Lets say, 3 items of value it adds.
Not every game needs to be politically correct or cater to modern-day sensibilities.
I am actually cringing right now. These are the sorts of lines that almost always precede people saying or doing some really terrible stuff.
In fact, I play fantasy as escapism, including escaping modern-day sensibilities.
Yeah, not helping the case here.
One such is "don't slaughter your neighbors and loot their gold".
You know, I get this might be tongue-in-cheek, but I've never actually done this in a game, or thought this IRL.
Another is "female players have every right to envision their gender being just as strong and big as the male gender".
Yeah look I hate to cut your post up and I'm gonna stop right here.
If your goal is just to make an anti-PC TTRPG, I mean, own up to that. People might think less of you for your ignoble goals but that's the price you pay for publicizing your views. Because honestly at this point I'm questioning the purpose of this game.
You haven't framed it in the context of "I want to make a hyper-realistic Hyborean-Age TTRPG." or "I want to make a dystopian sci-fi RPG where all the men are super-soldiers and the women super-babes." But you've framed it in the context of wanting to make a game where "men are from mars" because you think that's how "things are IRL" and want to escape from political-correctness and the oppressive rule of law. Which frankly sounds like nothing more than a puerile male power fantasy. But hey, if that's your goal, just say so. If I am misreading you, well I'm sorry but that's really how it reads. Maybe you meant something else in your head, I know it happens when we're trying to explain something
we know to others.
But at this point I'm calling a duck a duck.
