    Sarah Silverman leads class-action lawsuit against ChatGPT creator

    It would be even better if copyright is assigned to the people whose work is the basis for the output. Did you use the public domain to train and then your drawing as an input? you get copyright. Did you scrape the web to train and use as an input? now all of those people co-own the image!

    They got the surname at Tatooine, so it must have been not out of place there.

    His Dad is a Jedi. He is a posthumous child and likely grew up with stories of his Father and his apprentice.

    D&D 5E (2024) Half Race Appreciation Society: Half Elf most popular race choice in BG3

    But I don't see it as "highlighting one at the expense of others", rather as "Unless at least one option is highlighted and given lore, none will get any and none will stand out enough to be noticed by adventure creators." Removing half-elf lore won't make all other mixed-heritage visible and...

    That's precisely what I don't want. I'd be very happy if race/heritage/whatever was purely fluff with no mechanics, provided we'd still have fluff for half-elves/khorovar/whatever-politically-correct-naming-alternative-is-given. I'd be perfectly happy with no specific stats and half-elves being...

    D&D 5E (2024) Half Race Appreciation Society: Half Elf most popular race choice in BG3

    Notice that until that post, I have only used the word heritage and similar words. Only used "race" in response to you using the word "race". To me this has been about ethnicity all along, and even you keep entangling that meaning when referring to real world people. Now, my bigger point. I'm...

    So, let me see if I understood you well enough. "It is fine that you exist. It is fine that you find a community if you have the luck to have others like you. However it is not fine that you find a sense of identity that isn't just a carbon copy of the heritage the dominant culture considers...

    No, but adventure writers have to refer to core books for lore. And if half-elves have no lore in the PHB nor in the MM, where are they going to get lore from? More so since the desing team has boldly called them out as inherently racist? They have started to retcon them out of existing adventures!

    Because it will no longer have a full write up? No associated lore nor even a picture? Only a sidebar at best?

    Not without a dedicated entry in the PHB, without that dedicated entry in the phb no Human-Elf NPCs ever again.

    As I warned, this is an erasure event. But nobody believed me -like I warned with wizard getting flexiprepared casting, sorcerer not being propperly playtested, sorcerer not getting the obvious patch, or right now sorcerer losing subclass at first level-. At this point I should change my...

    And we have lost something else. Even if they made it possible to still have half elf with a weird mix and match system, by atomizing mixed people, we have a defacto erasure. [Close to] no adventure writer is going to bother messing with a new subsystem in order to populate the world with NPCs...

    But broken Spanish comes off as an insult to Mexicans, Colombians, Argentinians and so on still living in their countries. Just Google/peruse youtube with "Oye Primos" and see for yourself (or not, save yourself the headache).

    It is mostly an internal phenomenon. (Though not isolated) The argument is, since "we have to decolonize the culture", that self-identified mestizos are actually just indigenous people who have lost their culture -or white people appropriating-. And yes there was a huge amount of people...

    This is an understatement. I felt very slighted by them. The closest to an ethnicity I -and the vast majority of my compatriots and I'd venture a lot of Latin America- is being a mixture. With us as a collective squished in a limbo by activists on the left who want to erase us with a dichotomic...
