Did you also make up the stories about Dave Chappelle being anti-trans despite have a very close trans friend who opened his shows, who then killed herself after people like you attacked her for sticking up for Dave. Just curious. Ernie Gygax and company may be idiots but I wouldn't automatically make up stuff in attempts to stick it on them.Based on earlier NuTSR "public relations", it was pretty much the topic of transsexuals that caused the brains of its "spoke persons" to fall out.
Ernest Gygax is guilty here too.
Yes, there is sharp edition warring, against non-1e D&D gaming styles.
But it is the topic of gender identity that correlates their descent into full-on (maybe even legally actionable) hatespeech.
