DnD Twitter is having a weird one.

Someone posted the 5E description of Orcs and said "why would you say this about black people?!" which was a bit self-revealing, but now there& #39;s a wave of dunkings pretending that DnD has never mapped real racial stereotypes onto its fantasy.

It just seems really, really weird to take the stance "DnD is a pure hobby that would never indulge in clumsy racial analogy" in a world where Bright exists.

I just can& #39;t work up sauce for someone& #39;s "bad orc take" when TTRPGs have lifted vocabulary from Henry Morton Stanley to Rush Limbaugh for describing intelligent antagonist monsters like orcs and goblins, and have done so for decades.
