cw: furry/rpg meta-gripe
listen: I love kobolds
but also, I kind of dislike that every kobold OC sort of feels like the exact same kobold OC?
also also, boy is it fucking weird and offputting to have someone's -horny- kobold OC interact with me in-character with the whole weird 'fawning bootlicker service-sub' vibe
re: cw: furry/rpg meta-gripe
@hystericempress Huh. I hear about those, but the ones I see tend to be more like "I am a proud dragon, raar ooooh headpets yes please I accept this tribute"
re: cw: furry/rpg meta-gripe
@hystericempress Yeah, that's a little uncomfortable. I dunno, maybe it's me hanging out in dragon circles more? Strange.
re: cw: furry/rpg meta-gripe
@Soreth I think it's also 'different dragon circles' because I end up encountering a lot of that 'you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup' haha-only-serious furry pseudo-racist elitism in conjunction with this. because what our rich fantasy lives needed was more of that bullshit, I GUESS
re: cw: furry/rpg meta-gripe
@hystericempress Whoa what the fuck? That shit's still around? I haven't seen it for at least a decade, I thought it'd mostly died out. D:
With the folks I hang out with the "elitism" is mostly just gently teasing the gryphons.
re: cw: furry/rpg meta-gripe
@hystericempress I'm mad that bullshit is still here, it should have all died out on USENET.
re: cw: furry/rpg meta-gripe
@Soreth Frankly, given my actual career is furry smut-adjacent, I'm not shocked I encounter more of it on average.
re: cw: furry/rpg meta-gripe
@Soreth see, what I more often encounter is people who are into the whole 'kobolds are an explicit servant race who instinctively submit to the powerful' bit, which I'm super-duper not comfy with, or else it's just 'this OC is a WoW-style goblin, but I like lizards more than shortstacks'
