D&D Always has been Inclusive, change my mind 

DnD as a game has always been inclusive, as a community it certainly wasn't, managing a game store in the 90's I saw numerous times women treated poorly by men in game stores, simply for being there. Typically it came in the form of quizzing them about things they liked to try to figure out if they were a "true" gamer or "True" fan.

You really nailed it home here. the forced inclusivity needs to stop, because in truth, it was happening naturally. Let alone, gaming is a hobby, what right does WotC or anyone else have to tell anyone what they can or can not do.

Yeah, I agree with everything here. Always thought it was a crazy lie people spread about D&D, becuase my games have always had all kinds of people of different races and sexualities across the lgbtq with little to no problem. Been following a lot of trending topics about D&D over the past few years, and all of it is just absolutely dumb takes meant to just throw salt at people who enjoy the hobby, which is funny becuase it ends up doing just the opposite. Honestly, I don't make gender, race, or sexuality a big deal in my games, even in settings that have that medieval feel, as long as it's not being used in malicious intent towards other people. Also, the Hadooze controversy was the stupidest shit ever that still tickles my ribcages. It's that damn "orcs are black people" arguement all over again. D&D just wanted their own Planet of The Apes race for players to play as in Spelljammer, but because of one dumb picture and their backstory, weither or not it was made intently to be racist, it turned people racist for making them think monkies look like black people all over again. But if you look at the rest of the art, they're very clearly not. How about the red haired one that looks like a Scottish pirate? You gonna tell me that looks like a black man?

There are a few think about this. The pressure isn’t coming from the ‘rainbow brigade’ it’s coming from executives that think it will help them increase the share price. As far as the growing the community, I wish everyone wanted that. It seems willfully ignorant of gatekeepers who harass and push people out. I have so many issues with WotC and but deciding they aren’t going to keep publishing elements that might raise eyebrows is pretty low on the totem pole. I dislike how they are trying to monitize the soul out of the game

I based my entire RU-vid, on dungeons and dragons inclusivity it doesn’t matter if you’re a turd it doesn’t matter if you’re the nicest guy your character still matters to the story-- #SSU

I was going to make some arguments but they’re not too important. But for the arguments I was going to make was 1. Gary was sexist 2. Any modable medium is able to be inclusive depending on the people playing with you 3. I agree with the rest of this 4. You have missed a few things but you really hit the hammer on the head with some problems I noticed with WOTC as well with how cowardice they are to upsetting the people who don’t even buy their stuff. I will both agree with you and give you a like as long as I am permitted to play a femboy lizardfolk or a tomboy orc at your table.

So they rhink that DND should be the way it has from it's inception and you don't like that they want to be the way it always has been?

Honestly I don't think people should have to think of their private games as inclusive. Me and the boys ant gonna have NPC's with pronouns or any gay stuff at our table but on the flip if that's at your table I sure as shit ant gonna give ya flak that's the beauty of DnD to me.

I only really played a couple of campaigns, one in 3.5e and one in Starfinder, but these two were enough to show me the sheer difference between the OG 'unadulterated' experience and the 'modern audience' experience. Of all the things that disappoint and anger the most of the wokeness of WotC/Paizo is the effective dumbing down of the concept. The game is no longer 'inclusive' because everyone is truly inherently different as their independent, distinct, own person. They're ravaging, altering things to be 'inclusive' "because we say what is and what isn't, and if you don't accept our way of thinking as your own then we won't let you play".

The problem is these groups want to be called out and have special acknowledgement. But the fact it is a game...anyone can play any game. There has never been anything in DnD to 'excludes' people. There is no need to call out specific groups because it has no place IN dnd. everyone who is not a jerk is welcome at most tables. I've been playing since the 90s with 2e and no one I ever played with cared anything about your ethnicity, gender, religion/spirituality or who you liked to date. NONE of us cared and we all got along from different backgrounds because of our common love of DnD and anyone who expressed interest we instantly nerded out with and shared it with them and invited them to games, regardless of who it was.
