Acting like this isn't their fault for not including tabaxi in the base game

Give the furries an option and they will come (double entendre only somewhat intended)

[-] RNAi@hexbear.net 20 points 1 year ago

You thought they forgot? They just gonna DLC it

The only non-human species they had were dragonborn so I played that. They even humanized them somewhat. sadness But I can't say I'm surprised after seeing what the helmets looked like.

struggle session over whether or not elves and orcs and halflings and gnomes and such are 'human'

[-] iridaniotter@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago

I consider them humans since we call homo sapiens, neanderthals, erectus, habilis, etc. all humans 🤷

[-] LaughingLion@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

i have never considered any of them "human" and a lot of the literature I've read (which isn't much tbh) is super careful about not doing that

it seems like your definition of "human" is a lot like the definition of "white" which is very fluid and made-up and anyways i reject whiteness, do better

[-] iridaniotter@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

Oh really? Weird cause I see the other human species called just that all the time.

[-] LaughingLion@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

scientifically neanderthals are not humans

when they existed so did humans; they were two different species of hominid

a coworker of mine has a masters in anthropology so i could ask her i guess shes the only person i know with real expertise on the subject

[-] iridaniotter@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

Sure why not. I'd be interested to hear what sort of language is used among her field.

Anything with "homo" in front of it will sometimes be called human by some anthros and biologists. They don't like the distinction between human and non-human bc they think it makes people think other homo species are less than. Kind of like saying a second cousin isn't family. I don't personally subscribe to that belief. Human has a specific meaning, and they're using it in the esoteric "my humanity" sort of way and not in the actual definition kind of way. So I don't call anyone but homo sapiens humans. And a lot of the "all homo species are humans" people think we have delineated too many separate species in our taxonomy. Some of em don't acknowledge that Neanderthals are a separate species and instead call them homo sapiens neanderthalensis rather than homo neanderthalensis.

shes a cool friend

so anyways i guess there is some grey area like its a conesus that they aren't human but there are anthros out there that will call them humans anyways and its kind of not like whether or not the earth is flat or round (its actually hollow)

Interesting thank you!

And don't forget the shortys! None of the companions are little people. Dwarves, gnomes and halflings got no love as party members.

[-] ProxyTheAwesome@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah they added like 12 subraces of tiny folk and there's like 2 named characters of note in the whole game that are halfling, dwarf or gnome. One of them is a serial killer.

[-] WittyProfileName2@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

I'm gonna assume the non-serial killer one is either Barcus or Wulbren. Because, I honestly can't remember any gnome characters that aren't part of the ironhand gnome questline apart from the evil butler guy from Dark Urge.

[-] Smeagolicious@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

Can’t play kobolds or goblins sadness

[-] ZapataCadabra@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago
