Message: <blockquote data-quote="ConcreteBuddha" data-source="post: 1049936" data-attributes="member: 3139">Um. FR teaches us that when black women (drow) take control of a society, chaos and evil ensue. The issue is not sexism in the game-world, it's sexism in our world. It is sexist to make a game world where the only place where black women are in power is chaotic evil. Not to mention that a greater diety (lolth) is evil, black and a woman.Where is the Good black woman greater diety?Reaching?Can you imagine the Drizzt movie? Casting thousands of black women to play the evil empire, and having one black guy escape to the good white guys? Right. You think a CEO is going to risk millions of dollars on this movie, not to mention the reputation of the brand name "Hasbro" and his personal reputation? Is a Board of Directors going to approve this project?It was bad enough that in LotR, all orcs are darkish-red, Mordor's Southrons are dark-skinned, and the good peoples of middle earth are white men. Sheesh. And both of these are hidden in the WotC label. Just in case. The winds of change are fickle. People with power do not bet, they own the casino. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />Video games and music companies still have parent corporations.
