It got to a point everyone just decided to quit as they had enough that night. When I remember it, there was no end point. I bet half the people who play RPGs dont even do it to actually finish the main quest, but just play for kicks to goof around and level up characters before quitting due to length and boredom, since adventure games can take a long time to finish. This group of players claim that if it wasn't the creators' intention to do this, they should have no problem retconning a couple of words so that nobody can be 'offended'.Īnd here I am playing RPGs since the 80s (I still remember playing Ultima 4 and not knowing what I was doing) and killing legions of Kobolds, Orcs, Goblins, Gnolls and whatever the fuck gets in my way was all about gaining XP, gold, and hopefully finding better gear. All they (supposedly) ask for is the retraction of a few words and notions which were written at a time when being politically correct wasn't a thing.

My counter argument was 'what will the next step be'? Retcon mind flayers into not having slaves because that's an uncomfortable subject for black people? Their answer was that this isn't the same because in the mind flayer case, you oppose the racist act (slavery), while in the orc case (genocide of tribesmen) you enforce it. Their argument is that black people as well as anti-colonial-whatever people could feel uncomfortable with the idea of role-playing heroes who practically commit genocide towards 'evil tribal savages', which is what white people did in the past against non-white tribesmen. The manual also says they have evil god blood in their veins which causes them to lean towards 'evil', which can also sound like the racist ideology that 'black people are more prone to violence because it's in their genes'.Īlso, they oppose the notion of the books portraying orcs as savage tribes who threaten the kingdoms and need tò be culled by heroes because this reeks of 'white colonianism'. Specifically, these people object to the use of the words 'savages' and 'tribal' when the manual describes orcs, because these are terms white people used to call black people back when they considered them subhuman.

The reason a particular group of d&d players associate the orcs with black people is due to the language and the insinuations as the core rulebook writes them as. Months ago I had taken part in the racism convo in the ENWorld forums about this orc race bruhaha.
