GMs are going to literally rewrite game lore and mechanics to remove racism

[Suppa Hobbit Mage]

seems like cultural appropriation and probably should be scrubbed from the game...

Just get this stupid change over with - because a couple of GMs can't live because a game is "too racist" we all know it will come down to this:


[Solhaven, North Market East]
A redacted awning stretches across the front of the large stone building here. Hanging above the entrance is a metal breastplate, rusted from exposure to the salty sea air. Two giantfolk, deeply engrossed in conversation, lean casually against the building. You also see a street urchin, a peglegged cat and a green and white oak barrel.
Also here: Player

>look at Player

You see Player.
It appears to be a nondescript player character with no discernible gender.
It is tall. It appears to be decrepit with age.
It has gold-flecked crystal green eyes and redacted redacted skin.
It has chin length, silky platinum hair with a redacted streak running through it.
It has sharply-curved pointed ears.

>ponder
You ponder.

>speak elven
We do not discriminate against people of different races, colors, society, religion or languages....
You really want to speak elven language? If you wish to continue to speak elven, please type SPEAK ELVEN again within the next 30 seconds... If you do decide to speak elven, you will be banned from any further use of this game because speaking in a non-native COMMON tongue could hurt someone's feelings, which is something we do not condone.

>say ::Player how are you today?
You did not get Player's permission to interact with them. Any further attempts to interact without Player's permission will result in a 24 hour ban. Interacting with other individuals that play this game is something we do not take lightly. You first need to use the PERMISSION verb with other players before attempting to interact with them. Any further interaction with Player within the next 72 hours without use of the PERMISSION verb will result in a 24 hour ban.

>mutter stupidassgame
We've taken notice that you choose to use unkind words while not alone in a private room, any further actions from this character or any other characters on your account(s) in the next 7 days will result in a permanent ban. All accounts will be locked and will no longer be accessible. If you do not log out within the next 60 seconds, you forfeit your accounts and all content contained within said accounts. If you attempt to log back in before your 7 days are up, you will be given 1 warning that if you log before 7 days all account(s) are forfeit. Any other login attempts after the warning, before your 7 days are up, you are hereby acknowledging your right to retain your account(s) and all content within, this account(s) and all content within will now be the sole property of Simutronics.

If this is an attempt to get me to send you dick pics I'm afraid it's not working.

Anyway here's a meme

This is correct.

I just looked up Shanty Town on the wiki and it says they are under the protection of the "Brotherhood of Rooks", which I had never heard of before. Reading up on them now though it appears the Brotherhood of Rooks is ALSO problematic:



They wear hoods, they intimidate shop keepers and threaten their livelihoods, they are involved with many criminals elements, and they have connections to many people in power.

I think we all know what real world group this group was modeled after.

Not to mention the dude that played Merle Dixon, who was openly racist on Walking Dead, his real name is Michael Rooker, so clearly this is all connected and must be abolished immediately so we can end racism once and for all.

EDIT: OMG WE HAVE TO BAN CHESS NOW TOO!!!!!!

Say nothing of the fact that Michael Rooker also played Yondu in Guardians of the Galaxy, who famously made reference to Mary Poppins... which is a Disney movie. We need to ban all Disney movies.

Which, I guess is now all movies. Shit fuck.

Oh, christ. Don't bring up Walt Disney.

Hah, I didn't even think about that.

As an Italian, I've decided that I am now highly offended, and feel that GS is no longer inclusive for me and my people.

I think I heard something in 2019 about how Mary Poppins was racist too, so now they all must go!

EDIT: Oh yeah, it was blackface
