[QUOTE="Deset Gled, post: 9863170, member: 7808"] Having read just the info linked here, I'm having trouble finding good reasons for the outrage. The "torture" is a "DC 4 intimidation check or persuasion check". That's not torture unless your players want it to be torture. What's being called "homophobia" is a scripted line where a NPC says "He wouldn't be caught dead wearing a bracelet that was so ... feminine". Maybe not the most inclusive line ever, but also stretch to call homophobic. Actually, sometimes an understandable opinion for someone who is struggling with gender identity. Could be a good angle on that character; maybe they're transmasc? The sexual content is "there's a section about discussing with your group how much in-game sex they're comfortable with". Yeah, that's how session 0 works. Maybe this needs some editing to make this more on brand with Neopets, but that's what prerelease material is for. Maybe there's more offensive chunks I'm missing. But this feels like a nothingburger right now. [/QUOTE]
