Based on what I’m seeing today, my post that I’ve determined is going to be my full response from here on as a gate to engagement with anyone white was well-timed.

Side note: there’s a lot of writing on why Orcs are problematic. Read literally any of it. Google is your friend.

Literal talks and panels have been given on problematic D&D races.

Just... listen to black folks. Listen to people of color. Listen and do not speak.
