[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 7428611, member: 15700"] As a cis white grognard, I don't see what the big deal is. I mean, way back in the uber sexist early 80s there was reference to Correlon being genderless, so it's not like they are completely revamping decades of elven lore in D&D. The foundation of this idea has always been there. And like literally [I]any other supplement in D&D history about lore[/I], it's easily ignored in your campaign if you don't like it. And if it helps make more people feel welcome and acknowledged, why would anyone be against it? I really don't get the accusations of pandering like it's a bad thing. This literally has no effect on your game; no one is putting a gun to your head and forcing you to play an elf who switches gender. TBH, it reminds me of that meme about how giving equal rights to others doesn't mean yours are being taken away because rights aren't like pie. Same here. Acknowledging other groups of people doesn't mean you are being forced to change how you play. [/QUOTE]
