Me? WoTC? Tournament play? DMs and players playing a private game at home? I'm presuming WoTc and conventions are already moving in this direction, no? If so, does that mean your "don't this anymore" refer to the imagined fictions of all citizens of the world who play D&D? Or maybe just all Enworlders, but Redditors can do what they want?What do you mean by "moves us forward"? Who is "us"? People who are hurt by D&D racist tropes? Would "us" cannot move forward until the problem is wiped off the planet? Or can "us" move forward as long as private citizens who haven't accepted the problem stick to playing in the shadows, secretly killing mindless evil (or specifically always-evil orcs to your point) without advertising it publicly?Finally, what about the word-building and roleplaying implications? Have you really shrugged it off as it's not "needed to be honest"? So the stuff brought up by [USER=7030755]@Malmuria[/USER] and others is of no consequence? Your problem (or the aforementioned "us" problem) is the primary problem, and thus is the only problem you in all honesty care to discuss, and the other side's problem is too irrelevant for you?I don't want to put words in your mouth, and I don't mean to be obtuse. I'm just try to stir up some more introspection, for my clarity, so that my mental map of your perspective is more accurate and more in-tune with what you were intending when you chose to reply to me saying you're not sure a creative solution is needed.</blockquote>
