[QUOTE="Levistus's_Leviathan, post: 8566946, member: 7023887"] I'm not saying they are. I've disliked quite a few changes that WotC has made in the past, I don't agree with everything they've done. However, there do seem to be people that think that any change that WotC makes is always a bad thing. The reason why this change is good is because it gets rid of the #1 reason why people have hated Kender for decades; their kleptomania. That's just an objectively good reason to make a change. If a D&D race has been nigh-universally hated for decades, changing it to get rid of the thing that makes people hate them is just overall and objectively good thing. And from what I've seen, most of the people that dislike this change are just disliking it for the sake of disliking change. They haven't said any logical or valid reasons for disliking the change, other than "change bad, old thing that everybody hated good". People are absolutely allowed to dislike changes . . . but the reason behind those should at least be logical, and not just disliking it because they hate WotC and want to hate on any change that they can twist to fit their narrative. I'm not saying that everyone that dislikes this change or any change that WotC has ever made is doing this . . . but there certainly are people doing this in not only this thread but ones in the past of similar issues (I've seen people complain about the new Ravenloft book for dropping Caliban, when the reason why they weren't included is likely because they are extremely ableist, for example).
