So negative connotations and acts are just fine, so long as you don't talk about it?But if you put in the orc stat block that they commit more theft and assault you'd really have an issue.

Don’t troll, you know what I’m saying. You “evil” races are a bad idea. You can’t have “this race murders people a lot as an immutable fact of their genetics” in your book and pretend thats ok.So negative connotations and acts are just fine, so long as you don't talk about it?
Murder, assault, robbery, etc. are all things that give people a great deal of fear and harm and even PTSD, every day. If we want to not harm those, we need to get rid of these harmful, too. I find the idea of, "It's okay to offend and harm these people, but not those people." to be weak sauce. If you're going to hold the view that you shouldn't offend and harm people, you should be consistent in your beliefs and practices.Don’t troll, you know what I’m saying.

As much as its funny, if you don’t want to or can’t understand the argument that maybe tying crimes to genetics is a bad idea, I’m not interested in going further with this.Murder, assault, robbery, etc. are all things that give people a great deal of fear and harm and even PTSD, every day.

Edit: And don't call me names again or I will report it. I don't troll anyone who is not already trolling.
1. That's completely missing the point as to why people aren't okay with seeing systemic prejudice -- specifically racism here, but also LGBTphobia and ableism -- being mindlessly repeated in popular culture.Murder, assault, robbery, etc. are all things that give people a great deal of fear and harm and even PTSD, every day.

You're the one who brought it there. I haven't said one word about genetics. I'm just arguing that offense and harm is offense and harm. Not all offense and harm is equal, but why is it okay to offend and harm people via murder, assault and other things which we KNOW are hard on the many, many people who have experienced it, but not okay to offend and harm people for other reasons?As much as its funny, if you don’t want to or can’t understand the argument that maybe tying crimes to genetics is a bad idea, I’m not interested in going further with this.

Sometimes I like to roll 3d6 in order, and figure out who I'm playing after that. It's a nice change of pace, and makes me feel like I have to work with what the universe gives me (just like in real life). Of course, I wouldn't want to do that every time, but it can be really cool if you don't know what you want to play.So if I rolled all my NPCs 3d6 in order, you'll roll that way for your character??
That's not the argument. The argument is that the NPCs and PCs need to be within the same ranges and with the same racial abilities. So if Orcs get +2 strength, that bonus should be for both PCs and NPCs. That results in 5-20 range for Strength. It's okay for NPCs to roll 3d6 and PCs to roll 4d6-L, since in both cases the only ranges possible to both are 5-20 for Strength.So if I rolled all my NPCs 3d6 in order, you'll roll that way for your character??
