He just said that Drizzt is a popular character from a novel series. People generally like him. So you should expect to see his picture used from time to time in marketing. You should also expect some players to like him enough to emulate him. The same way they will emulate, Merlin, Arthur, Conan, Harry Potter, or any number of characters from movies, TV, and anime they like. But that he is NOT everywhere. He barely gets a mention outside of his novels. If you think he's everywhere that is more your perception than reality. I'm guessing the word Drizzt and references to him and his deeds occupy less than 0.0001% of all non-novel D&D products. If you think he is overblown, that's your opinion, but it just isn't supported with facts. You might want more novels based on other characters, and that's fair enough, but if you don't read or pay attention to novels you don't need to know Drizzt even exists. I know a number of players who have absolutely no idea who he is. As for hating him. I don't think anyone should HATE anyone. Dislike, sure. But hate implies way too much passion for something as small as a character from a D&D novel. If your emotions towards Drizzt rise to the level of hate, I'd suggest reevaluating why you invest so much mental energy on something so small.</blockquote>
