Specifically how in early 2000's on online forum in Q&A thread someone asked him if Paladin should fall for killing Kobold children, and he replied no because "nits make lice", which is the exact same words John Chivington used to try to weasel his way out of being court-martialled for mass murder of Native American women and children.

    Re-colonization. The region WAS belonging to your patron nation, then some sort of catastrophe forced people out of it, now the place can be recolonized safely, after someone fixed it and clears all wildlife (or worse) that overtaken it.

    So this is inspired by chuds getting their panties in a twist over a piece of art posted on D&D official twitter account for trans charity. As I sit deeply in World of Darkness currently, I thought how much more based V:tM fandom was even when they get mad - like that time one of V:tM books said very real genocide of gay people in Chechnya is a lie to cover Vampire operations, and V:tM fans got so mad at such blatant homophobia, the company publishing WoD, White Wolf, got dissolved and absorbed by its parent company, Paradox Interactive, only being restored this year with new people incharge. THAT'S how you do fan outrage.

     

    I really think people blow this crying about Orcs out of proportion, there was NEVER an actually interesting villain in this game whose reasons of being a villain boil down only to "I'm an Orc, Goblin, Drow or other evil race". And saying a whole species is inherently evil effectively diminishes all evil they do because you are saying they never could choose not to do it, which reduces them to children who don't know better. People should move on and stop flooding my yt feed with identical videos repeating the same points.

     

    On both social media I still use, I followed bunch of indie ttrpg devs. I had to unfollow the ones on tumblr because they don't talk about anything but how much they hate D&D, up to including writing weird headcanons about people who help popularize it (I actually seen someone on tumblr claim Brenann Lee Mulligan must HATE D&D because only dumb people could like it and is only pretending to like it for clout) or bich about how D&D fans only want to play D&D and get mad when you tell them they're complaining about a small minority.

    meanwhile indie ttrpg devs on Bluesky constantly promote their work and inform of sales of their products. I found many cool games through bluesky, meanwhile nove through tumblr.
