mbassoc2003 wrote in Is this really happening?:I've actually seen this similar discussions about the 'wokeness' and virtue signalling of the WoTC writers on a number of channels, including interviews at Con's of the public. They want to create a game that does not exclude anyone, no matter how racist of bigoted they are. They want a game where everyone is equal and everyone can be friends, and the way we deal with conflict should not immediately be with conflict but with discussion and a coming together of minds, hence the move away from epic heroism in 4E towards a more traditional focus on problem solving in 5E. Some would say a reversion in the direction of the origins of D&D. Which, if true, just goes to show how dumb corporate wan.. wokers really are.

So we have a female dragon, a male orc, a female halfling, and a male dark-elf, and assuming they all role the same 3d6's, none of them have any preference or propensity towards any alignment, because they are all best buddies, and they are all equally capable and equally suited to any given class. That does defy logic, unless we use the butt magic excuse. Next they'll be eliminating charisma because it creates bigotry towards ugly characters. Maybe they need to remove intelligence too, because it's offensive to dumb people.

Woke D&D.... You are a magical androgynous being of worth, the same worth as every other being you meet in this game. Your friends are all mighty social justice warriors and you are on a quest to bring happiness and light to the realm. If you roll a 4 don't worry, you won't miss because every action is a winner.

It really is a sad state of affairs how a couple of terrible police interactions outweigh the 99.99% of their good ones.  Are there social injustices? Absolutely, but i believe they are colorblind and not relegated to a single race.  I of course lay this at the feet of media and their constant fanning of the flames of disruption and anarchy.  Their bias (to both sides of the political spectrum) has become unwatchable and is largely ignored by myself.  I guess a self realization is that I too am one of those people with my head in the sand for not calling my representatives and screaming WTF are you doing about this nonsense?
