The modern anti-racist believes that people should only breed within their own race, not associate with people from other races, and should treat white people with complete and utter disdain.
I'm not even sure it's that. I haven't played DnD, so I could be speaking out of turn, but a cursory search seems to indicate that you can still have mixed parentage characters. It just doesn't effect your stats. It also seems they recently removed negative racial attributes...
What's a bet that is the real rub - the implication that your ancestry could influence your capabilities.
Races will definitely go next, they'll be "body types" or "hero forms".
It's funny how 'follow the science' has led right back to new-age hippie woo about humans as liminal, energy wave-forms inhabiting interchangeable meat shells. So dumb. Then for all the talk about keeping Christ and religion out of everything, their nonsense god has to be pushed into every possible orifice, especially where it most clearly doesn't belong.
I took this a different way. The mindset of these subversives is that they want us to think all races should be mixed. No individuality. Just a mass of mud people.
"Yeah there's half, thirds, quarter mixes of elves and orcs and humans and goblins and dwarfs. So what? All bodies are equal and love is love!" (i.e. there's nothing special about a "half-orc", everyone can have the same stats)
It's those kinds of surface ideals that they put into propagandafiction. In reality of course they do segregate.
There's also the stupider explanation that "Half-X" is often used as insult and that's just not acceptable.
I've actually heard this about black people having kids with white people, arguing that in 2 generations it erases their blackness - what ever that means.
It takes way more than 2 generations. Try 10 or 12. You can see it in lots of "white" people today, in the jaw bone and shape of nose. Often you miss it at first. They call themselves white but they're probably 1/8 black.
Half orcs in previous editions were exclusively products of rape. This move is perfectly in keeping with their recent claims that orcs represent blacks.
Given the left's omnipresent desire to memory hole black criminality, one example of which is their predilection for raping women of other races, you get the result.
Because in DND blacks are portrayed as largely middle eastern or aboriginal cultures.
Whereas orcs behave in precisely the same manner as American blacks. Rapacious, misbegotten, burning plunderers whose concept of property consists of "it mine", with no ability to plan further than the last time they were hungry.
Half orcs in previous editions were exclusively products of rape.
First-generation half-orcs were. Eberron makes it quite clear that there's a marked (pun intended) difference between mongrel half-orcs and true bloodline half-orcs who've descended from other half-orcs for centuries.
it's dumb because the D&D orc is taken wholesale from the tolkien orc... and the tolkien orc was not a representative of blacks, but was created by magic that corrupted high elves making them lust for power and growing them an aversion to concepts like private property...
in other words, orcs aren't blacks... they're communists.
Funnier still. DnD orcs aren't even that close to elves. They were lifted thematically but they do have an origin of their own as a race. Gruumsh, their god, created them to be a plague on all other races out of spite for the beauty of the elves, and hatred of the elf god Correllon who put out one of Gruumsh's eyes.
The don't look like they're failing to me. "Go woke, go broke" is a pleasant sounding myth that righties like to tell each other. The truth is that they can't go broke any more than Pravda could have "gone broke" in the old USSR. These media and gaming companies are now propaganda organs of the State, they promote its ideology and so they aren't going anywhere.
They absolutely are going broke. Hasbro has no other profitable divisions besides DND right now, and they took an enormous dive a while back when they tried to review the OGL, pissing off just about everyone in the RPG community.
While accidentally tipping their hand towards an intent to turn tabletop games into a subscription service.
ah i remember bits of that debacle tried to pull the your content is mine too if i remember right as well. they seem to fail to realize they will make thier own grave with this move... subscription service shit needs to go.
for these people everything is sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic, that's the core idea behind intersectional feminism.
move into the city, that's gentrification, you racist nazi bigot.
move out of the city, that's white flight, you racist nazi bigot.
rationalizing all behavior as a "sin" or wrongdoing is a cult tactic used to browbeat people into shameful compliance. never cater to them, for the allies today will be the pariahs of tomorrow. look at what they did to far-leftist JK rowling for not being far left enough.
Pretty odd they consider inter-species breeding to be "inherently racist"...

Yep. I forgot the term they use for it now, instead of racial stats it is now cultural stats or some such nonsense.
Turning into tourney fags from super smash bros.
No races! No classes! No dragon! No dice! Dungeon only!

Yea I’ve heard that too. Dumb.

But don't suggest birds of a feather should flock together if you're white, or you'll get Dilberted.

why would orcs represent black people when there are black humans in the setting? i know they're retarded but this is something else.

I've played long enough that Eberron is new kid on the block, but fair enough.

ClosetDissident is correct. The federal money spigot keeps them immune to consequences, while it lasts.
