Somehow, we went from "Orcs are blacks, and that's rayciss" to "Orcs are mexicans (and that's a good thing)".

Why are these people such goddamn hacks? Why does every fantasy race need to be a real world analogue of something (and not even a subtle one)? Why do orcs need to be stand-ins for niggers or mexicans? The whole point of having a fantasy race is to have it be different from humans. Alien. New.

People are trained to be "activists" in college/university. Have been for like a couple of decades now.

What's even the point of having playable orcs if they are just humans?
Apparently, these aren't half-orcs either.

It is so lame. I'm falling asleep just looking at it.
To think there was a time when people called pig orcs generic.

Jesus Christ, I just listened to a bit of the Barbarian one there - apparently with this system your barb can make a stealth check using STR while raging. How utterly retarded and "all must have prizes."

smh
The argument I've seen made is that it's like a leopard on the prowl. It's only the case while you rage, which I can only assume means rage lasts much longer.

Its all retardation. They want to move away from 5e, but Im not sure players will move with them, by every metric the new system is worse.

That player handbook art is pozed to the max. Everything is female and black. One exception I saw was a boy in a wheelchair. That's right. Speedy-McGee is going to combat evil and spelunking dangerous dungeons in his fucking wheelchair. On a mechanical basis, I agree with others where it appears that they want to make every class all-the-things. Everything for everyone.
