drow

Plus they teach drow think they should be in charge of other races and that’s obviously critical race theory.

An episode was focused on a D&D game, and one character was cosplaying as a drow elf, with facepaint.

A drow night shot of a city is an accurate portrayal of most of the night shots that will be taken by their target audience, so it makes sense for them to use it here.

The DnD episode from Community (S2E14) can't be seen on any streaming services because one Asian character wears black makeup while cosplaying as a drow.

If your planned headcanon is to look like someone that people take somewhat seriously it feels like your respectable looking options are drow and human.

I think anything Underdark, including Deep Gnomes, Duergar and Drow are also protected.

But obviously there's also a second layer where you can't publish your own novel about, say, the intricate details Drow matriarchal society, that aren't in the SRD and came from WotC novels and sourcebooks.

Given the descriptions usually associated with subraces like the Drow or Mountain Dwarves I'm not sure if the racial stereotyping is a lot more offensive than the fact that the groups as portrayed have non-existent or stone-age economies.

And when you kill orcs, drow, revenants or other "baddies", you're actually just killing stand-ins for humans.

Drow "nation state is after me" from the threat model and you'll be a lot happier.

So I ask you this: Do you really expect WotC to burn because their new stance is: "orcs and drow are just as morally and culturally complex as other peoples."?

The general public wants an AI that can role-play a character in a D&D game without pausing to go on a rant every five turns about how violence is bad and that it can't make "racist" comments about the Drow because they're black.

I think it would be offensive to High or Wood Elves for them to be grouped in with Drow.

And everybody is always hating on the Drow.

I have no problem with Netflix deciding to greenlight or cancel shows based on the perceived whims of the public (even if they were morons to pull the episode of Community where Chang went Drow-face.) > and where should that line drawn?
