Say hello to Chance, my Changeling Hexblade Warlock (Pact of the Blade). Chance is pansexual, genderfluid, and nonbinary. Chance's whole schtick is being mutable, every aspect of them being subject to change whenever Chance wants to change it. That's why they're a Changeling, as they can choose to change their physical form at will, and why they have a Pact of the Blade (and the Improved Pact Weapon invocation), because they can also change their weapon into nearly any form of their liking. Chance also has obtained a Shiftweave, which helps even more to allow them to change into any form that they want to become. This is primarily so they can help their patron (the Vestige of Karsus) achieve his ultimate goal (restoring Netheril on Faerun, with Chance as the Empire's High-Sovereign, and Karsus as the Prime God of New Netheril), which takes a lot of deception, stealth, planning, and adaptability to achieve. Chance is adept at martial combat, spellcasting, and coercing others with their high Charisma score (20), which aids them in their goal. There's nothing "porno" about Chance. Is Chance a good person? Absolutely not. They don't particularly like harming others or causing chaos, they just want to do whatever possible to serve their Patron's end goal. Has Chance's gender fluidity and non-binarity ever come up? Yes, definitely, as tends to happen with Changeling characters (at least at my tables). Has Chance's sexuality ever come up? Yes, it has, in a long side plot where Chance had to pretend to be a noble suitor to an heiress, which was necessary to expand New Netheril's influence and conquer Silverymoon (it was very difficult and Chance nearly died about 3 times). Has it ever became explicit/graphic? No. Absolutely not. Never in a million years. My DM is my younger cousin, so a) I would be uncomfortable bringing that up with him, b) he would be unwilling to make it explicit, c) I don't enjoy D&D having explicit sex, and d) the inclusion of typically not-represented sexualities and gender identities absolutely does not turn the game "porno" (and to say so is both showing of ignorance and highly offensive, even if it was not intended to be offensive and you don't think it was ignorant). There. You have at least one direct and obvious example contradicting your stance/claims, as well as a firm rebuttal of my anecdotal experience against your unfounded claims.</blockquote>
