[QUOTE="Levistus's_Leviathan, post: 8615266, member: 7023887"] But that's exactly our point, though. If D&D has always had these goofy/wacky concepts like Owlbears, Spelljammer, Modrons, Flumphs, and Displacer Beasts, then claiming that D&D is suddenly being Disneyfied/sanitized in regards to newer goofy/silly content is a stupid argument. And, yes, that is what most people are claiming when they say that D&D is being sanitized/Disneyfied. They don't actually mean that stuff like nudity and extreme gore is being removed. If they meant that, they would be saying that. What they've been saying/showing is just a handful of pieces of art from books that they think looks too cute and are throwing a fit about it. If they meant "nudity/explicit gore is no longer being depicted in official D&D art" as being their definition of the hobby being "sanitized," they'd actually be right. That is a valid statement. I don't think it's a valid complaint, I don't think that this is at all a new thing, and I think that stating it is pretty useless, but it's a valid and fairly accurate thing to say. Reading through this thread proves that what most people mean when they talk about the "Disneyfication of D&D" is that they think some modern 5e art is too cute/silly. That's what the majority of complaints (and the most liked ones) in this thread are talking about. [I]That [/I]is what some of us are trying to refute. [/QUOTE]
