[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 8813707, member: 6801228"] No duh it is subjective. Why do you think I keep saying "and that can be discussed"? It is almost like, and stop me if I go to fast, I understand my opinion isn't the law of reality. However, just because my opinion isn't objectively true doesn't mean I need to sit around silently while other people say "this is the way it should be, because I like it this way" because THEY aren't objectively right either. This may shock you, but advocating for the status quo is STILL advocating for something you like. This seems to be the thing you guys don't get in these conversations, just because I acknowledge everyone can have their own tastes and opinions doesn't mean all conversation stops and we go with your version of things. Because "I pick no change" is still picking something you prefer over something you don't. This doesn't go "you aren't objectively right, end of conversation, I win". Nothing is perfect. Everything can be improved upon. But I have to spend so much energy just fighting the very notion that no one could possibly have found a real problem with halflings, and it is exhausting. By the way real =/=objective, so don't go trying to say that I'm twisting myself in knots here. But so few people are willing to actually engage in a proper discussion, instead they want to misreprent things and continue to act like nothing has changed in thirty years and everything they thought is true is forever true.
