Defining "inclusiveness" in the context of homosexuality & bisexuality

[bogmad]

Hmm, seems like an even lower bar for "inclusiveness" than my numbers in the OP.

It's the "numbers" that doesn't make any sense. Like you said, it doesn't have anything to do with mechanics.
Arguing for representation equivalent to real world numbers of anything doesn't make sense for a fantasy game.

Trying to codify "inclusiveness" gets into almost Orwellian territory.

Simply not-trivializing, ignoring, or demonizing those who might play the game is a pretty low bar, I'll agree. I don't know that there's a lot more to discuss for this thread...

I liked GrumpyCelt's idea of putting in other ethnicities into the artwork in a more proportional manner.

With rare exceptions, our games have pretty much handled sex as "fine, you do whatever. No one cares. Let's not waste game time."

P.S.: Biggs?

No doubt he meant Gold Five.

But "inclusiveness is inclusiveness" is political. Gotcha.

No, it's tautological.

No doubt he meant Gold Five.

Stay on target.

Thaumaturge.

Why not? Their customers live in the real world and spend real cash.

Just out of curiosity, has this ever been an issue for D&D?

No doubt he meant Gold Five.

Can't remember what he said to do. I just remember the fat guy droning "stay on target" before his model ship broke apart.

This thread isn't going to go anywhere good, and the OP is already arguing with moderator requests, so it's going bye-bye.
