[QUOTE="Levistus's_Leviathan, post: 8487458, member: 7023887"] You don't see how saying stuff like "Plausible Deniability", "they're getting rid of the stereotypes and making these types of characters less interesting", and implying that that these changes are unnecessary could possibly be something that someone else would want to rebut against? You've made several posts in this thread and the other locked one talking about how much you dislike the errata, think it was unnecessary, and a bunch of overly hyperbolic about the direction of D&D. I can't defend an idea because I'm not the one that made it? Because unless I misread your post, what I like (the removal of racial alignments in the PHB) is definitely being "yucked" by the mischaracterization of them getting rid of racial stereotypes entirely. 🤷‍♂️ If you take offense because I said you were mischaracterizing the direction of the game and what Winninger said, that's on you. Sorry anyways. Yes, you have said that people are free to do whatever they want. I never accused you otherwise. However, the repeated harping of hyperbole and flat out bad-faith characterizations of the changes in this Errata do make it seem like you are "yucking" the "yum" of others that like these changes (including me). It depends on how you interpret their actions.
