[QUOTE="Mephista, post: 7726390, member: 6786252"] Its pretty much an old argument at this point. Some people are "purists" for lack of a better term, and have a strong dislike of anything that varies from human / pointy eared human / short human / stout human / crazy human. Others see this as a fantasy world and like engaging in all the various fantasy elements. Its like the Survivor Volo Races thread - the Tabaxi had a lot of love and a lot of insults / hate in equal measure in no amount because it was so different from human. I'm not going to pretend to understand why the difference, but its clear that everyone has their own comfort zone while playing. I personally find it a bit annoying to be banned from a race I like because a GM wants to call it a monster and something to kill. That reeks of forcing what they want to play on others. If you don't like to play the race, then... don't. Banning others, if they're not disruptive, is kind of heavy handed in my mind. [/QUOTE]
