Stop depicting humans and particularly non white people as >Insert fantasy race here<

[Poop King]

No one group of humans IRL has ever asked to be depicted as elves, orcs, goblins or anything else as such.

There is nothing more or less positive about having my racial features depicted as a troll or a gibberling.

Stop misappropriating (ethnic) people in such a harmful way. None of us want our features being abused in such a way to depict any form of non human characters.

Stop relying on polls and opinions that are mostly ran and answered by white people to determine what other white people think that non white people want.

Vikings aren't a fantasy race, they were an actual human civilization.

I on the other hand am not an orc just because I'm black.

I know I'm going to regret this, but could you elaborate which features of your origin was depicted by the goblins or whatever in EA?

Also drow.

Vikings even have a theme song. And it's pretty good.

So okay, are there options for the "lover" that aren't in there for the the PC? I've only made human males, half elf males, elf males and tieflings. All of t hem seemed to look like a bunch of different ethnic groups.

As for WOTC removing negative stats from 2 races in the game, they're literally the only 2 races that had negative stats.

It's just EA, finished product will have for sure much more diversity and options.

I seriously doubt this is what you get with the finished product.

Correction - They're the only two races that still had negative stats.

Previously most races in D&D had some negative and some positive stats. All types of elves used to have -2 constitution for example.

So, as per the title... "Stop depicting humans as..." - humanoid races? Should have no resemblance to actual human features? Oh dear.

Erm the point was that I and most people don't want FORCED diversity.

We dont want every non human race depicting non white people.

What defines a race, the color of their skin or their facial features?

How do you design a human-looking fantasy race that is still different enough to be distinguishable without dividing them into groups of human facial features?

I personally prefer having a whole race of "african people but with pointy ears" than the games that have humans with literally one option for a face with african features, with that face usually having proportions just short of offensive.

WOTC removed -2 int from Orcs because apparently, according to them not me, orcs somehow represent black people.

LOL!!! Troll trophy of the night. Nobody can be this overly and irrationally sensitive and survive in the real world...

Can they?

His handle is "Poopskin"... I guess cause he's black and he's trolling himself?
