Yes, of course we had someone talking about wanting to play characters who are persecuted. It was me. What you said was people who were offended by Tieflings not being persecuted. There is a world of difference between those things. I explicitly acknowledged that there are people who want to play Tieflings and to be persecuted, and said that they should also be able to do that.There is something screwy going on with quotes. We DID have someone replying about living out real life "horrors" in game, I replied to it, but now can not find it. So wanting persecution in game WAS in fact requested as a play mode.
Labels used to demean a group of people, do not matter the size of the group of people, and are wrong.Please do not equate marginalized human beings to marginalized board games.
No, not you. There was another person, that I quoted as I had no idea how to respond to the "horrors" partt, as it seemed like therapy, and I am not a qualified as a therapist.Yes, of course we had someone talking about wanting to play characters who are persecuted.

The amount of harm is incredibly different. Please just do not do it. Equate it to something that does not frequently involve war crimes and other horrors.Labels used to demean a group of people, do not matter the size of the group of people, and are wrong.
"Its just a game", is all that is needed that add deragatory words, "its just elfgames".
Traveller does not have elves. Nor do many other games, so why add "elf" if not to attack certain groups? Just like when "elfgame" was coined to demean D&D players, by Traveller players.
"They are playing those dumb elfgames."

Agreed.The amount of harm is incredibly different. Please just do not do it. Equate it to something that does not frequently involve war crimes and other horrors.
Like the girl in the wheelchair was corrected, let me also in a wheelchair correct you. Do not tell people how to talk about themselves.The amount of harm is incredibly different. Please just do not do it. Equate it to something that does not frequently involve war crimes and other horrors.
Thanks. I knew there was instructions for the DM, but after about 20 years, forgot what or how deep they were.Two potential things:
living construct traits
"As a living construct, a warforged can be raised or resurrected."
Warforged in D&D sidebar:
"When warforged are used, DMs should be mindful of potential controversies regarding the warforged: Do they have a soul? . . . The answers to these questions should provide roleplaying opportunities for warforged throughout your campaign."
This is a really dumb hot take that minimizes the suffering of real people by comparing them to people that play a game. Do better.Imagine all these as quotes, and tell me why any should evey be used.
Its just elfgames.
Its just blacks.
Its just gays.
Its just cripples.
From top to bottom they dismiss as a group/label.

It is no different from SQW and SJW, status quo/social justice warrior.
Labels used to be dismissive and demeaing to others. Standard playground bully tactics to name call.
