If you think that there is nothing wrong with the way that @Wizards continues to reinforce racist shit in D&D, please go ahead and block me now. I have no interest in any conversation with you or for you to interact with my design work.
The harassment by these incel sacks of shit is ridiculous and all ttrpg content creators should be calling their following on this. If you're part of a thread agreeing with all the people saying, "WELL MAYBE SAYING SOMETHING IS RACIST IS THE REAL RACIST" examine your life, damn.
This is in reference to a harassment campaign done by people who really want to defend this as not dogwhistle racism. Orcs have a long history as a stand-in for various racial others.
I'm not discussing this. If you want to discuss, find someone else.

I'm also not answering trolls and I'd request all of you do the same. Just block, block, block.
Hey, if it's just about orcs and orcs are fictional, then why are you coming to my tweets to cry about it?

Legit, these people think they are ruining my day while literally responding with what I called out in the first place. I'm realizing most of these are probably dummy accounts, so may just mute.
But damn, @Wizards, check out these responses and think if you're doing enough.

I want to be specifically clear: the way that DnD orcs are described uses the same language used to justify genocide and eugenics of the racially other. The sudden defense of POCs in tabletop and claims that I'm the real racist is absurd, childish, and will continue w blocks.
Never have I seen tabletop come to the defense of marginalized people like this before. That's because this ISN'T tabletop and this ISNT a defense of marginalized people. It's people who's primary hobby is hatred justifying hatred everywhere they can.
I'm posting this because I see people just grabbing my photo with claims of things I didn't say. The description of having blood that makes them prone to violence, but a different society could temper that? That shit has been said about all marginalized peoples.
That shit has been said about me. That I only don't have machismo because I was raised in the states, but I've got hot Latin blood.
So I'm not backing down from this, but I'm also not having a debate. If you think that kind of talk is okay, I don't want to interact with you.
