Bring back the Dark Men of Odus

[ya.dingus]

Now that we're out of the age of illogical, contradictory, woke policies that are as racist as they were incoherent, I move to bring back the Dark Men of Odus.

They were never racist, they were an RP guild, and it is my hope that the community has gained the IQ needed to recognize the difference between fantasy elves, trolls, ogres, dark elves, and erudites, hating each other (aka the faction and religion system), from actual real life racism.

Don't let this nonsense define the community -- I don't want to be placed in the same bucket as these post modernists who are legitimate racists.

If a guild name and in-character framing make people think its racist—and even GM action disbanding the guild - calling it ‘just RP’ doesn’t hold water.

Also, you used "woke" unironically, another buzzword in the never ending culture wars. Filed under not serious.

Racist is a buzzword in the never ending culture wars too.

We need one of the forum sissys to check in and see if this allowed. Don't want to anger anybody during their transformation.

In a fantasy game of "elves, trolls, ogres, dark elves", the one thing you desperately want to roleplay is ... dark-skinned humans? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Woke is a buzz word?

No, it isn't. It's the embodiment of a set of ideas that propose to pursue the fictional notion of social justice, but are the old vices of social cooling, censorship, segregation, racism, societal disruption, and destabilization masquerading as virtues.

The only difference is if you know your history or don't. The term is apt and accurate here.
