SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

For WotC, "Truth" Means Something Different than the Normal Term

Sure, the character has a typical female presentation, but that isn't necessarily a bug in a game about heroic fantasies. Archetypes are good, right? Right? Or am I too old fashioned?

Some years back there was much bitching by the woke about how she was "Sexualized" and "pornographic" even. Because these idiots have no clue what those words even mean.


Then they are being silly. "You Keep Using That Word, I Do Not Think It Means What You Think It Means" seems like the appropriate response.

Here is a post with her picture. It's a human in full armor (no gaps, which was nice) and a belted tabard. Long hair, but so does the male fighter with her. Wasp waisted, I guess, but that is also due to a belted tabard. The chain mail is form fitting, but period mail isn't supposed to sag (it's metal). I guess there is a bit more neck in one of the images than is ideal, but what are we -- Victorians to be scandalized by a bit of ankle?

What an odd line of argument.
