There was a thread here a few months ago titled "What if the Wind Dukes of Aqaa were Djinn" and my immediate reaction to seeing that thread was "...wait, they aren't?" And as it turns out, no, they aren't, actually. Which seem wild! But yeah, it does seem like "Noble" Genies are on a power...

Yes, we should offend everyone equally! That is because all groups are of equal status and stature in our current society, right? So making fun of white men is equally socially and politically consequential to making fun of transgender women, right? Is that how that's supposed to work?

If memory serves, Professor DM was one of those YouTubers citing BookScan data wildly out of context to create clickbait videos about D&D 2024's downfall, I'm not sure I would consider him a particularly solid source.

I mean the real question was... did they pronounce it like the word Sigil or the interplanar city Sigil?

I agree with your point here, but I would ask you to make it without parroting extremely offensive, bigoted talking points. I come to this little corner of the internet to avoid seeing phrases like "delusional perverts"

Yep. The sniper build wasn't nearly as fun in ME2 and 3 as it was in 1, what with the very game-y level design of the newer games, so getting to say "you can't hurt me now, and now I'm immediately right in your face, and now I'm shooting you in the face with my shotgun" just felt nicer in general.

And it will be greatest trilogy of Dungeons & Dragons movies of all time

I do not believe that this was ever answered?

There is a lot of overlap between queer aesthetics and "cozy" aesthetics (which this artwork seems to be leaning into), that, like all things, is not at all universal but I think at least strongly correlated. If I had to wager a guess as to the causation between the two, well, with everything...

From the OP? It really doesn't seem like it. But a few folks brought up that specific piece of artwork while agreeing with the OP's take or otherwise diminishing WotC's claims over D&D, and for those folks, yes, that does seem to be at least partially what it's actually about.

Seeing the words "3e" and "retroclone" in direct proximity with each other is aging me ten years at a time

What, specifically, makes the art so dated?

And, by the by, if this is what people are hoping for ENWorld, of all institutions, to liberate D&D from, I've got some pretty bad news for you.

Edit: For those hoping for context, he is referring to the moral of the story "The Boy Who Cried Wolf"
