[QUOTE="Guest 6801328, post: 8075866"] There's no "should" here. And "offended" is a loaded term that suggests a misunderstanding of what's going on. But if there are portrayals of European culture that make you feel like you're not really welcome in the D&D community, and it makes you not want to play the game, I want to hear about it. There's no element of the game that is so sacred to me that I wouldn't be willing to change it in order to make more people feel welcome. I would want to understand [I]why[/I], of course. If one person said, "I find elves offensive" I wouldn't just jump on the bandwagon to abolish them. But if that person can explain what's going on with the elf thing, I'd like to learn about it. Maybe I've just been comfortably oblivious as a white American male one percenter. I'm not ready (yet?) to give up some of my lovely but deeply unfair economic advantages, but literally the very, [I]very[/I] least I can do is support changes to a fantasy roleplaying game. [/QUOTE]
