Lich King is from Warcraft.
Thanks. You left off Mother when you quoted me.
Maybe this isn't about you. And note that Crawford says nothing about compelling anyone to do anything.
Pop quiz: in what year was heterosexual marriage legalized in the United States?
We can agree then the Crawford is no Tolkien. Your pop quiz is egregious.
Well, since I too invoked Tolkien...
Eowyn is an amazing character... But she is a woman because she had to be one, plot wise.
It tells us that Tolkien definitely was no woman-hater. But is it not curious that every character is male except those who *have* to be women?
This is what I fear happens when we include a character characteristic "because it works with the story " as opposed to mundane considerations such as "half of people are women". We end up with every character being as what the author sees as being the norm, which for Tolkien (or me, or the others who thankfully have admitted to the same) are white straight cis men.
To break that habbit needs a contious decision.

You and I are too far apart on this.
Tchus.
...It absolutely is. Morality....good and evil, right and wrong....it's at the core of D&D.
When Crawford publishes the module with the gay villain then I will raise a toast. Until then, the only acceptable villains are straight. Because reasons.
