Given the nature of the Internet, it's impossible to know how much of any given sentiment boosted by a vocal minority of Extremely Online individuals is actually representative of people in general.Your primary commitment should be to your players. If they were to be uncomfortable with something then you should make changes.For example, I had one drow NPC that I had planned to be more explicit about his hatred of the gods and the disdain he feels for their followers (due to his experiences as essentially the pet wizard of the matron mother of a now ruined Lolthite city), but one of my players immediately let me know upon the first line I had the character say about the followers of the gods being foolish that she wouldn't accept that because, as a religious person herself, she didn't want to interact with an NPC who hated religious people. I haven't actually gotten rid of this element of the character, but since then it's been represented in things he's done "off-screen" rather than anything he's said.</blockquote>
