what do you expect from a hobby invented by white boys with literal 'race' mechanics that determine your objective 'alignment' in older editions and still play into racial caricatures to this day

to be fair, the entire party was siding with the palestinians like, constantly

i'm just shitposting about the system and its origins, not blaming any players as a person of game (truly the most oppressed minority) myself

its still beautiful (or sometimes terrifying) how its the players who make the game. yeah gygax was an old scoot from decades ago making a game. but his assumptions don't really register with a 20 yo from 2024.

appropriate all games and side with the colonized.
