I hear you. I just don't see any race doing this though. I guess, for many people their activisms or whatever in real life makes them not want to go play George Floyd and relive the experience in an RPG but as I said before and I will repeat again...ad nauseum none of it should be disallowed...

Actually I was referring to some of the very specific examples you gave such as and I quote, "Person experienced prejudice (possibly severe, possibly just cruel taunts) due to being transgender and now stands up for anyone being hurt for who they are, and will loudly announce that fact."...

Upon reading this my primary question is (and also being serious though smiling); exactly how long in real game time? I ask this not because of the trans experience, take trans out of it. This could be about the the ghost of a loved one that is male haunting you. It could be a scene where you...

Okay, yes a person can do any of the above but for the record in all the above that player is choosing to make the game/pc be about a particular real world issue. That person should also not be offended by the acknowledgment that they have done so. Before the knee jerk reactionism (by...

I have not played Tomb of Annihilation either. I read brief glimpses of the adventure. From what I saw it seems like the Chuultains were portrayed as a people with a thriving civilization and by civilization I mean stone/adobe buildings, a system of law, learned scribes, holy people, etc, and...

Well, if I couldn't play a character of whatever skin tone I wanted I would of course do as you suggested and look for a new game.....but that is not exactly what we are talking about nor have I ever said people should not be able to play trans folk so I don't know where that is coming...

Very well. I will accept that argument. Given the scenario provided I would be offended and would want the group (Blacks) to be mentioned in the apology. My only point of contention is that given the above scenario I am still not going to come into the game and DEMAND that the DM say my...

Well, Morrus due in no small part to my race/ethnicity I am most definitely all for suppressing bigotry and hatred (of all sorts). I also play DnD (and other games) specifically to escape real world issues. So, please tell me how to word it so that statement that meets whatever the standard is...

His Christian value tweet I saw a screen shot of. If I recall correctly, was he not saying he was raised with Christian values and thus he was taught not to discriminate against anyone for various reasons? If someone says they don't discriminate against people why do they have to list every...

Mr. Kuntz first of all. I am a fan of your work. Thank you for taking time to communicate with people on this forum (myself included). To your point. Yes. I am trying to understand both sides. To be clear, I have absolutely no love for bigots and those who deride other folks due to their...

"Attacking arguments that have not been made" You said this in reference to me stating people acting like Ernie's story is rare. Go see the damn response to his backstory of his gaming youth. I am not saying you have to accept his apology but in the very first page of this thread you have...

That was done if my understanding is correct by the financier and new head of TSR3 LaNasa. Have you heard me defend LaNasa. I can answer for you. No I have not. This is the kind of BS argument I am talking about.

I will agree as I said in my initial posts that I was confused about why that even came up or was mentioned in the interview.

I never said how most people experience issues. I said, that long before WOTC's diversity push in the 80's and 90's being nerdy was not considered cool. Therefore nerds were misfits that consisted of people of various origins. The anger expressed at the comment was not about "toxic...

Well to your points 1. Page 1 post #3 of this thread for starters. Plenty of people have sneered that his story is not true. In fact go to the opening post of the thread. One person down into this thread says something like "Well, so he (Ernie) was an INCEL" in school and that don't help...
