    Are you the person I talked about this last time with? God fucking damn it

    If it bothers you you could not

    my brother in christ it is a goblin it is a fantasy creature

    Why is it along racial lines

    Because it is a dnd setting and it’s easy to write it that way

    Again i’m sorry it’s not goblin befriender. That’d be a good show too but ya know, this ain’t it

      Yes, a fantasy race one might even say. Tell me, was Birth of a Nation’s biggest problem that it didn’t make the black people have little cloven hooves and call them satyrs? Would it be above criticism if it merely depicted the revival of the Klan as a way to terrorize and slaughter these dark-skinned, lustful, savage satyrs with no relation to black people?

      I promise you that it’s just as easy to write the enemy as being bandits. Hell, even writing them as slimes (an even-more-common bottom-level enemy, #1 along with rats) would be better, since those aren’t remotely humanoid but can have basically whatever properties the author wants because they are so literally amorphous.
