i’m not talking about his orthodoxy, i’m suggesting that someone wanting to make baldur’s gate 3 “non-woke” and “lore accurate,” they’re dogwhistling towards the reactionary elements of gygax’s setting of dnd, of which there are many
Oh sure. Its just absurd to think Gygax would personally find anything more distasteful about 3 than 1 or 2 (or the Forgotten Realms, generally speaking).
Even after that, things get muddy when you want to argue black people are bad but Dark Elves are cool. That Orks are crude dumb tribal cannibal savages and now I’m going to play a Joe Rogan inspired Barbarian Viking. Nevermind that the most powerful class in the game is a liberal academic.
At some point, you can’t take any of this shit seriously, because none of these dorks have any idea of how to make a fun and engaging experience. All they can do is be miserable.
