What the hell is going wrong with their mouths in that painting?
I want to slay anyone who smiles like that.
Why is that elf thing purple?
Are those lesbian elf and cat critters on the left?
I'm not a fan of the art itself, but I don't object to them showing a group of dancers of that has something to do with the product showing it. I don't know anything about the product, and my interest in 5e is pretty low overall, so maybe it's fitting. Whatever.

As for the characters in the art, the one with the tail is likely a tiefling, and the blue elves are (I believe) part of the newer 5e Drow palette (no more midnight black skin anymore). I do recall there were supposed to be some owl-people in this (or another?) product, so maybe cat-people too. Still doesn't explain why they all look like they got gassed by the Joker's Smilex...

I don't care if people want to play gay prom.

Back during the 3/3.5E era, people could play gay prom just fine with The Book of Erotic Fantasy, which was an unusually well thought and well written supplement about anything sex in a fantasy world (only the pictures of "sexy fantasy cosplayers" were just dire). It even started with the definitions of "G", "PG" "PG-13" etc. up to "XXX" as a simple but effective way to create consensus around the table about what was allowed and what wasn't.

As usual, something already thought and done when my grandma was a kid is presented as "new and progressive". And, as usual, with horrifying results  :(
For every idiot who denounces Ayn Rand as "intellectualism" there is an excellent DM who creates a "Bioshock" adventure.

Are you sure you're interpreting that image correctly?

I'm interpreting it as something I won't be spending money on.

You're not into  homoerotic Star Trek in the fucking Renaissance.?

I've seen enough Kirk-Spock slashfic to not want to roleplay it at the table. I'm definitely not the target audience for this product.

I did show the article to friends who game that are bi and/or gay and they weren't interested in it either.

No doubt.  Make em all Herero and I still don't want anything to do with this kind of goofy shit.   Takes all kinds I guess.  It's just a different demographic/worldview or whatever they are courting.

I'm looking at that weird prom picture.

Is that an actual game for Dungeons and Dragons now?  :'(

This is not a fake or rhetorical question- it's a serious question.

Someone please tell me that it's just a joke, or a hoax. Lie if you must.

Thank you.

Dude I hear you!  I am in my 40s and never would have associated a gay prom with medieval fantasy.  From Elric to....Label this as you will.

Yes, I am that out of touch with current role playing games. It's not that I didn't know about this, just that I didn't know how insane it's all gotten. AD&D gay proms? Hasbro requiring employees to go to indoctrination meetings where white toddlers are labeled as racists and need "education?" Removing alignments because Drow are meant to represent black people (along with Orcs)? Thank you for your honesty, though.

That's it. I'm going to get going, and get the mechanics of "Ayundell" up and running. The main difference is that it tends to use percentage dice rather than a 20d, and classes are by necessity different.

The dude isn't even a Hasbro employee, he's a temp worker from an outside company. Now, nearly 200k has been raised for him. His story may or may not add up. There is really only his side of things out at this point, and James O'Keefe is not a reliable narrator.

Decades ago, I worked for a company where I was required to take a certain number of hours of paid training per year. But the nature of that training was largely up to me. I took mainly management and technology classes (remote), and a very popular (in-person) class called "White Men, Women, and Minorities: Culture and Power In America." It was actually pretty cool. Despite the name, it was pretty even-handed, and I specifically remember that the instructor wasn't just calling out whites (or men) for having shitty behaviors. It was more about getting people to recognize and challenge their own myopic attitudes.

Well, I'm certainly glad that a "cool" training course about myopic attitudes specified white people in it's title. [/s]

Like Tubesock, I also have an annecdotal story about once having to do training at work which proves that because O'Keefe takes peoples own words and uses it against them without changing them to fit my narrative therefore he can not be trusted.

Might also have something to do with O'Keefe, y'know, lying about ACORN (as determined by the California State AG and the GAO - I know, I know, they're all "deep state" lol),

I looked up the artist and her other work does not look like this at all. 
She actually can draw real females with breasts instead of ambiguous androgynous creatures with horrible joker smiles.
I posit it's bad because it was done at the direction of some horrible danger-haired monster.
I think you're right that it is a tiefling.  I haven't played D&D with those.

Maybe this is a "junior prom" so as to explain the minimization of secondary sexual characteristics?

I simply found it interesting that even after decades, you remember that they specified white skin color.
