It’s such a reactionary dog whistle. I used to be one of those “lore accurate” nerds for Tolkein. But for stuff like, “It’s Dwarves, not Dwarfs, that was intentional by Tolkein so we should use Dwarves as the plural.”

When I saw the same nerds I used to argue unimportant shit like that with turn around and say “The elves can’t be black and I’m not racist it’s just the lore” I ran out of there so fast.

it used to mean "this doesn't have thomas the tank engine or anime characters in it"

I'm more interested in 'based mods' in this context

Mods to make female characters more scantily clad and have shittier stats (also no black people) would be my bet as to what this mouth breather considers 'based'
