"Manual" also comes from the latin word "Manus", that means "Hand". Not everyone has functioning hands, ableist much?

I think Doctorbadwolf is a dumb name, but you don't see me make a big deal about it! (I'm joking!)

What, you think the "Dragons" part of "Dungeons & Dragons" is offensive to non-dragons? I beg to differ, sir! It's actually offensive towards dragons, reinforcing an offensive stereotype of dragons as basement dwelling, greedy, violent thugs!

Enough talk, have at you!

Liutbrand nodded "Of course Rotom, that's a sensible suggestion" He then addressed Vilroy "Now sergeant, before we agree to anything, we should talk about our just compensation".

Richter Belmont: Die, monster. You don't belong in this world! Dracula: The "monster" epithet is outdated and oppressive. Creatures are called "monsters" because their appearance doesn't conform to arbitrary humanocentric standards of beauty, they are called "monsters" because their social and...

...somebody told them about sandbagging and they took it too literally?

Darn, Mordenkainen finally lost his marbles.

Githyanki too then, right? Also, dragons? Color coded morality? Hello?

Is calling somebody a Dungeon MASTER even ok nowadays? Edit: before somebody takes this and runs with it, I'm being sarcastic here.

I was going to ask if you were being serious, but you already answered that, so I have to take your suggestion at face value. In the wise words of Mercurius: No. Mah God, people calling fallacy on the slippery slope arguments were wrong, weren't they?

Sigh... alright. Disclaimer: we were dumb kids in our early teens. One player was playing a very annoying chaotic neutral wizard, classic instigator, committing crimes just for the lulz. As a young, inexperienced DM, I felt like taking drastic action. The character was locked up in a cell...

I'll freely admit that some of the personal experiences you talked about on these boards in the past might have been part of the reason why I used a white gaijin as an illustrative example. I hope you didn't find that annoying.

Make it a half feat?

People often ignore (or disagree with) the fact that not all slippery slope arguments are fallacious by default.

For what it's worth, I wasn't planning to start an argument with @Sorcerers Apprentice, I was just trying to better understand their position. To me, both the "hypothetical mature Carlton" and the "gaijin white manager" of the example would have been acceptable picks for WotC, albeit for...

I think (almost?) nobody on Enworld works for WotC, but that hasn't stopped anybody from discussing, agreeing with, or disagreeing with their decisions in the past. Mostly because it's just fun to discuss and find out other people's opinions :) I personally think (some others have expressed...

If you don't want to invoke a stereotype, don't bring it up in the first place. It's not like people won't get what you mean if you don't spell it out, so you ain't doing any better. I liked the clip though. Interesting and relevant to the topic at hand.

Hm. That’s not much of an answer, though. Poaching might fail, or you could restart the process and find yourself in a similar situation. I guess my question to you here would be: why are the two (highly competent) candidates I described undesirable to you, and what would make a desirable...

Interesting. For the sake of the example, those wouldn’t be the only candidates, just the most qualified by a fair margin. Would you settle for a less qualified candidate? And if so, what are the personal characteristics that this candidate should have, that make them preferable to the more...
