[QUOTE="Essafah, post: 8327177, member: 16472"] Very well. I will accept that argument. Given the scenario provided I would be offended and would want the group (Blacks) to be mentioned in the apology. My only point of contention is that given the above scenario I am still not going to come into the game and DEMAND that the DM say my character is Black. When I do my character sheet and put my character's description in there as Human why would the discussion of real world human race then come up [I]in game[/I]? Likewise if I list my PC character as male or female (of whatever origin cis, etc.) Why would the exact nature of the character's gender ever come up again [I]in the game[/I] unless I demanded that the DM say my character is trans or something? It would not. Right. So we are on the same page. Here is my confusion: If the transwomen are women and transmen are men. I am saying they are. Then when the DM describes a female in the game and says "X character is female. She stands about 5 feet tall and has red hair and is dressed like a typical villager." How would the fact that the person is trans ever come up [I]in the game[/I]? Again, I am saying some homosexual representation should be present in the game, some representation of various races, and definitely in the real world as far as hiring practice I would hope to see different groups present. I just don't see how the trans aspect is going to be present in an RPG especially if that RPG is about adventure gaming like I am trying to think where in say [I]Storm Kings Thunder[/I] that just comes up.....
