[QUOTE="Levistus's_Leviathan, post: 8685239, member: 7023887"] You know, it's kind of baffling that there are responses to this thread saying something along the lines of, "I agree, but people should respect my preferences, too!" Yeah. That's the whole point of this thread. You guys can stop with the "what about X?" or "what about when people get offended by someone else's opinion being different". That was what the Original Post was about. That the D&D community way too often judges other people for completely subjective preferences in playstyle. There is the "if it's racist/sexist/bigoted, no, this post doesn't apply"-part that I mentioned in the OP. And I do stand by that. But that's the only exception. As for the people saying that critiquing something isn't the same as hating it or saying it shouldn't be in the game, I actually meant to include that in the original post. This whole thread came about after I realize that even though I really, really like Gnomes, I wouldn't care if they were folded into another race so long as their core identity was preserved. I just like the race. I don't care if they're a full race or subrace or merged with Dwarves or Halflings. Some people get way too attached to their favorite parts of the game and take it personally when someone else suggests changing it at all.
