humanoid fantasy races that have in-universe racial differences but whose societies are nevertheless similar to human ones that have existed in reality are always going to be a problem
if they&
#39;re fundamentally different, they should have fundamentally different societies & ways of being. not like, &
#39;similar to x human society but we gave them horns so you can&
#39;t say it&
#39;s racist.&
#39; show me something new & unusual!
also, for the easily offended: me calling this a &
#39;problem&
#39; doesn&
#39;t mean i think we should imprison or exile every author who uses these sorts of stereotypes. a problem can be examined, can be the basis for new art and stories
