Interesting that it’s happening on Discord; the very same Discord that had problems (still is) with allowing pdfs and chomos to post with *0* consequences. Also, Merry Christmas 🎄
Ive heard the dnd horror stories about weirdos trying to seduce party members. which to me is kinda weird. as a joke sometimes in our games we mess around but its always fade to black, nothing describing the deed in full. never with another member of your party members. then again i just play with a group of friends and havent really played with any randos at the local hobby shop.
Gender equality has always been present in these games, and also very liberal attitude towards sex. But I think people who complain about racism in the system have a point. Back when I played pen and paper D&D, everyone (including me) took it for granted that all dark elfs are evil basterds, all halflings are thieves, and all half orcs have low IQ due to their parentage. It is only now that smarter players have started to question this. Why do all dark elves have to be evil? Why should all half orcs be stupid, when they could have inherited the quick wit of their human parent? It is a topic that needs reviewing and clearing, because branding people due to their race in the game does feel really rather silly nowadays. Just saying.

DnD was already full of weirdos playing out their weird fantasies.
Now it just got worse.
