[QUOTE="Justice and Rule, post: 8502919, member: 6778210"] Inherent problem in fisking everything is trying to hold multiple conversations with people. I think you can be more specific (in covering the problems, that is, and I'm speaking in the general "you" and not literally [I]you[/I]). The thing doesn't need to be 8 pages, but I think you can cover a decent amount of ground in a few paragraphs. I think it would be helpful to Wizards to put articles up, but make them be from people who understand this stuff. I don't think you need Jeremy Crawford putting out VLogs, but people who have experienced these feelings over the years. To me, I think you have to lead the community, and I think that's a great way to do it. I don't think that utilitarian argument works at this point: the horse is out of the barn and across the county. Those arguments have been ongoing for a while now, and given their direction, they're better off making their stance clearer and more helpful than to stay silent and try to please both sides (and likely pleasing none). Like, clearly they want to say that all Drow aren't biologically evil now; you already created the errata for it, so you're already ripping off the bandaid, right? Same with Orcs and a bunch of other things. I think it's better for them to own the arguments rather than let the different communities project an answer, because I don't think either will like non-committal silence. I dunno if they're asking Wizards to march up to the dude's house, but rather that it'd be a great gesture if he wrote something on the topic. [ATTACH type="full" alt="1daqv5.jpg"]149404[/ATTACH] There's no way to enforce self-realization. All you can do is try to educate people and hope they take the last few steps themselves. Unless you're a bard. [/QUOTE]
