Why is it whenever I try to find any info out about this game I find posts full of edgy "haha I killed that, are U mad?" assholes and borderline "race realists"?
Ffs I just wanted to find a post that would help me avoid killing Kobolds and the one posts I find asking the question is full of edgelords bragging about how they love to kill "vermin" races and gays.
This is what you get when you make a fantasy world were certain races are born evil, it attracts all the racist freaks that want to live out their genocide fantasies.
It's killing my fun for this game.
I don't even really know what to say. These people are so stupid.
Like, why do you NEED them to be vermin who are killed on sight?
Would it be so fucking strange if a DM said, "hey, in my world, kobolds aren't evil". Seems like a normal fucking choice to make in a fantasy game??
Are there not enough conflicts to resolve in the setting? You NEED racially designated enemies?
Even if you took it to the extreme and said NOTHING in dnd is inherently evil? Would that be bad? Like, you could still kill them because they can still be antagonists.
PS. The one that really gets me is the person talking about them multiplying and killing farmers trying to guilt the person as if any of this is real
They've internalized big beef talking points so deeply they think that wolves are real life kobolds
There's this weird thing that happens when someone is both an uber lore nerd and a "curtains are always blue" fascist. They get into this weird space where they genuinely don't seem to understand it is a work of fiction anymore. You see it a lot with 40k nerds.
No, see the Emperor had to commit MegaGenocide, because if he didn't do that, the Rangda would have destroyed the nascent Imperium!
Gamers love choice except when it's people choosing to not be a sadist
