A Title Much Cooler Than Anything on the Old Site
Does he have the ability to hire a consultant?This is what Perkins chose to say to a games journalist for a story on representation in ToA. He is trying to express a different vision for what Chuult could be, but defaults to using loaded language to describe it. The fact that he didn't bother to hire a consultant to help is the cherry on top.
If he has the budget and authority to do so, and didn't...well, that's not good.
Either way, this is something WotC execs need to take care off at the company level. All of these controversies are nothing compared to the storms they'll need to navigate with their movie and video game properties. Even for the game, as they invest into pushing the game into more markets in more companies and translating it into more language, especially outside of western countries, they need to get on top of this.
