Absolutely Yes. But it is incidental. And to remove it is to admit one fault you've never have.

From Freud to the last genetic resources it became more and more clear that all the decision are taken by our genetic firmware with a big filtering from our past experiences. Don't know. I'm more comfortable to say that the decision the others have taken for us are the 60% of the driver of our...

As I said I respect his feelings, I feel sympathy, but my rational part doesn't allow me to think that are justified.

Sorry, for me no. In a fictional world I can imagine a creature genetically less intelligent. In a real world there are many species less brain developed than humans. Moreover is a scientific result that QI distribution depends largely on scholarization, so to think that an Orc is generally less...

I know that hyperbole is a peculiarly raw rethoric figure. I reserve it for people that tends to use rethoric trick to escape from a struggle they not know how to win.

I understand completely the point of this guy. BUT it is not rational. It is emotive. For me this is not a sufficient reason to change something. If he feels like that I respect his feelings, but I'd suggest him to analyze the fact that the parallel he is doing is superficial. Said that, I...

If it would be so simple...

I'd say that it is not entirely possible, I'd say that is the obvious reason.

Caught the point, really. But this is a weird route of association. From the description you give we can assume that Orcs are the representation of the worst beast side of humans for narrative reasons. In the meanwhile, for all another set of reasons there is a completely uncorrelated phenomenon...

I really need a clarification. If it is like you say and this similitude it is not the driver that push toward the removing of the -2INT, what is the reason of removing it? And another question more general, why it is racist to remove fictional, different from human race/species ability...

Excuse me, my fault

Fortyfive minutes of applause.

Nor Orcs, nor Elves, no other "races" than humans.

It is call an hyperbole, a rethoric figure to let a concept be more clear.

Yes but, if a race is 9 meters tall, it would be a little bit more strong than an halfling... no? So it is normal that if you want a mighty fighter you choose a 9 meters tall guy... no? Where is the racism issue here? Fictional races are different in body and mind and this reflects on classes...

Madame came from gothic horror tropes, Eva is not actually a French name. Is very common in many european languages for obvious reasons.

This is very difficult to reconcile with your trumpeted sensibility to racism.

1. ooookay. An historical phenomenon full of sad things that unfortunately has happened and it's good to be known until some ignorant do the same error. 2. Yes because they were Crusaders. If they were Hammerer they have Hammers. Crusaders dressed that way. They act for Christ (hypocritically)...

And don't cause racism.

Please suggest me another way to describe a fantasy that is intended to give the "least amount of offense, especially when describing groups identified by external markers such as race, gender, culture, or sexual orientation", as per ENCYCLOPÆDIA BRITANNICA definition. I know that this term has...
