D&D, racism
@lizardsquid i'm so glad you're doing this
a lot of stuff about monsters in mythos are about putting a name and a story into fears about the world
for a lot of creatures, especially humanoids, unfortunately that's manifested in "these creatures are a stand-in for a particular people we don't like"
drow are like the most emblematic of this - an organized race of underground matriarchs who worship spiders sounds very much like the background of some african mythos i've read
D&D, racism
is there a way to reclaim drow from being purely a racist caricature?
i don't really think so personally
orcs have been kinda recovered a little bit but LOTR orcs were definitely racist stereotypes
the thing about drow is they can also be said to be effectively dwarves of norse mythos - the svartalfar, which do match their descriptions in many ways - but i haven't studied it enough to know if that mythic creature was *also* borne of racial stereotypes
that was not something i wanted on the ptl
@green i dunno! it's a marsupial of some kind
"A human with racial heritage kobold saying they have pebbles skin and a vestigial tail? Yes more please."
uh-
UHHHHHH

some self-thinking about my extremely heavy world shit post, talking about nazis
@wolfteeth nope! Maybe I'll have to check it out
extremely heavy world shit
@starkatt i wholeheartedly agree
some self-thinking about my extremely heavy world shit post, talking about nazis
why am i reading this while on vacation?
well, i care a lot about figuring out how to take apart nazis and i think understanding how they justify themselves is an important step to deconstructing that if you deal with them
punching nazis is great but that alone isn't enough to de-radicalize every one of them
@online that's a good witch sketch

turns out a lot of people in the rwandan genocide tried to appeal to being "good people" and victimization - "were targeted for being Hutus"
we've seen this behavior thoroughly documented in the alt right since a certain game dev was revenge targeted and it continues today
