D&D 5E Thread topic most likely to be first to reach 10+ pages of argument

Tongue-in-cheek...perhaps. But the thought crossed my head after reading some interesting takes on "clickbait" sites. When someone posts for advice on their campaign, there's a handful of helpful responses, but it doesn't generate the traffic that a well-targeted "D&D's most controversial artwork" (all from Palace of the Silver Princess) can. We've all got something to say about that. Or this:

Some may remember the days when that was the controversial topic...

You missed something something 4e.

That would get my vote.

Orc, Drow.

Because it touches on Race, Alignment, and old lore some people care about.

I think we all already know "The problem with race in D&D" will/does get a lot of traffic, but the TSR3 stuff gets a lot of unified support in mockery that tends to lead to threads about it having multiple pages before I even get to see it exists, and I am on here a lot!

So I threw my votes behind those two.

"My topic is more inflammatory than your topic!"

Alignment: Generating 10 pages+ threads since 1974!

sounds meme-worthy

Ah, forgot edition wars!

Ah, forgot edition wars!

Well, this site does a really good job (thankfully) tamping it down. But it still manages to rear its ugly head in various proxy battles.

Yep, this is why I voted "Other." I've seen a single post about 4th Edition turn into an argument so heated that it resulted in multiple moderator warnings and a thread-lock. (And it wasn't even a D&D thread. It was a thread about video games, IIRC.)

Ahhh, I almost miss the Edition Wars. They seem so quaint, comparatively.
