I don't know about you guys, but having bigots, ableists, and racists at my gaming table sure breaks my immersion in any game a lot more than *not* having bigots, ableists, and racists around.

I'm old enough to remember a few months ago when there were hysterics over the fact that women play and also like pretty dice, so I'm not remotely surprised that you managed to contort yourselves up your own asses, but do us all a favor and just stay up there by your damn selves.

Because I promise that I do, in fact, know everything I need to know about you if you cannot handle a world with dragons and fairies and pewpew lasers coming out of people's eyes without the need for sexual and racial violence and discrimination.

Is it because you are SO SMALL that you've played hero after hero and never actually seen yourself as the hero, so you cannot fathom anyone making changes where they CAN see and feel themselves be the hero?

God I pity you. But not so much that I want you anywhere near my setup.

You are so, so small

And the world is so, so big

But letting that terrify you into smallness, that's your small, sad choice.

We should all get the chance to be heroes in ways that feel representative of who we are and how we define ourselves, in this world & the ones we create
