Agree with your point number two. But seriously: how you evaluate the intelligence of somebody who see Orcs as a racist metaphore of Afroamerican people? Nobody here is racist, so why are we having an argument? Because the problem is not to be or not to be sensible and aware that we must respect...

I disagree. Starting from a obvious arithmetical fact, only one half of people suck. The other half is above the average. The point is: must we make stupid proof things because of the stupids exists?

What are you describing is Culture. The mean to diversify and go deep into things. We must build schools for the ignorant. Not change books or games until they become stupid-proof, just to surrender to the fact that our economic system make differences among people. And that is more true if you...

The ones who want to adjust game or literature to avoid complains. The ones who want to change the dictionary believing that this adjust the world.

I agree totally with what you are saying. And this is not a paradox because... it is our turn to explain you: We are not talking about a narration. We are talking about a fictional world in which some races (not cultures) are ontologically bad and their cultures reflect this. This kind of way...

I feel discriminated by You are right. Remove you and put in they

Fortyfive minutes of applause

With this pace we'll end up erasing the word "black" from the dictionary.:eek:

So we have to modify LOTR retiring all the copies already printed? You are trying to save the world from it's stupidity erasing words from the dictionary, but less words means more stupidity.

To think that is the right thing to do is not sufficient to make right the thing you do. Back in topic: You can find auto-censorship a legit thing to do, but to argue with an idiot is the best way to look similar to him. If a thing is not offending not racist, I cannot feel myself trapped to...

What is puzzling me is the whole focus on orcs intelligence issue. Why -2INT of Orcs come out now that the world is talking about racism against afroamericans? Latins said "Excusatio non petita, accusatio manifesta" that means more or less in english "a not requested apology is the same as an...

Not in my campaign. The whole alignment rule is eradicated as too stupid to be used. At the same time there are a lot of genetically stupid races. These things have nothing to do with being a racist or having a racist game at the table. C'mon. I know that WoTC is doing that to avoid problems...

Absolutely true. And It is for this kind of consideration that removing -2 INT on Orcs is even more ridicolous. The same is for TV shows rated 13+ with guns, murders and blood spilling everywhere but rated 18+ if there is a little piece of sex. We are responding to racism with hypocrisy.

IT IS A GAME. Is funny cause it is the way it is. Let's burn every copy of Quentin Tarantino films.:D

I really, really don't understand. Create a race to be functional to a narration and then remove the traits that make that race functional to your narration? Orcs are stupid and cruel because Tolkien needed stupid and cruel creatures to oppose the Free People. This doesn't mean that all Free...

Italian is official

Thank you very much for the confirmation. For the rest I think the rules of the forum do not allow me to express opinions about and I find it acceptable.

There is this risk, really. But we need to see the book before judge it.

Somewhere I've seen something about Magic the Gathering removing some cards like Crusader for antiracist purposes. Somewhere else I've seen somebody request a new edition of Curse of Strahd without the vistani race that is racist against Romani people. Somebody can give me a confirmation of this...
