You are accusing Wizards of the Coast of religious Intolerance, a severe accusation in today's political climate, and comparing it to racism, sexism, and homophobia which are damning statements. This is the kind of rhetoric that gets passions inflamed and dredges very real and very hurtful memories of exclusion, gatekeeping, humiliation, and even violence against certain groups of people by members of our hobby. And by comparing your petty grievance about the wording of a character class to the pain they have suffered shows profound disrespect to them. To claim your dislike of WotCs use of pantheism as the default example of D&D religion (and conveniently ignoring the advise on the topic in both Xanthar's Guide to Everything and the Dungeon Master's Guide) as anywhere equal to people who have been harassed and worse for being women, gay, or a different race is the height of egoism.I really suggest cooling your rhetoric.</blockquote>
