Anybody who thinks this SJW craze is just politics as usual is in for a rude awakening. Its a full blown religious cult. You will bow down before it at all times. And if you don't they will pursue you into any field you go and any past time you try to escape to and make you bow down.

This isn't racism. I know you really, really, really want it to be racism, but it's not. You're stretching really hard to make it taht.
WOTC changing this does nothing to people who want to keep using it for "racist analogies", whatever the fuck that means. Sounds like you're trying to police how people play the game. Fuck off.
Yes, SJWs are a problem. It's a fucking cult. And trying to equate this to actual racism is really disgusting and shameful. I can't tell if you're a weird extremist or just some troll; functionally, there's really no difference.
FYI racism has occasionally been a problem for me (or so I thought at the time; it's now hard to be sure), but I still try to confront virtue signalling claptrap when I see it happening. Antiracism and SJW are not the same thing, just as antiracism and Antifa are not the same thing.
It's important to remember that they used to call themselves "social justice warriors." The name wasn't invented for them, it was invented BY them. Tumblr was infested with them.
Their over-the-top screetching about every microaggression imaginable made them ridiculous, and when formerly normal people start acting like SJWs, calling them SJWs isn't a dog whistle or a sekret Internet code. It's accurate, and descriptive.
You may be too young to remember, but at one time anybody who said something like "man, modern pop music is pretty degenerate" would be called a member of the Moral Majority. This was an actual thing whose members got agitated if Prince sang about how he liked to bone women. It got turned into an insult because of how crazy the organization was. I can only assume that if you got zapped back to 1984 you would be angry about misusing the Moral Majority label too.
It certainly looks like we're seeing the beginning of real revolution, I'll grant you that. This has been a long-time in the making. We really should have seen this 30 years ago, after Rodney King. I guess we still had some growing up to do.
The good news is that it won't be the Khmer Rouge -- quite the opposite. (Unless you think it's your side that's going to emulate the Khmer Rouge. That makes a lot more sense, but that's probably not what you mean. Of course, that's a fantasy as well. If we've lea
The world stands with the protestors, as evidenced by demonstrations happening across the globe. The majority of the country is with us as well. We've already won the war of ideas. All that's left to do is clean up a bit. That's what we're doing now by demanding real reform, destroying your symbols of hate and division, and forcing relics like you back in to the shadows.
The destruction of everything that opposes the minority (not majority) reminds me of the nazi book burning. Books that didn't fit with their ideology were destroyed. Replace books with statues and you see how similar antifa is to everything they claim to oppose. Just like in 1930's Germany it was the minority that was inspired by the nazi ideology.
The ruling class is funding antifa to distract us from what is important in the world. 2020 is a hinge year. These days so much in the world is happening all at
Indeed and they're not just destroying statues; Amazon performed their little "public acceptance test" removing Orwell from Kindles and I recall that was years ago.
There can be no doubt that the ultra-elite are provoking a war between the merely dumb and the truly fucking stupid/utterly batshit insane, and when that happens, I have no doubt that a whole lot of scumbag, low-IQ suburban pansies - for example, those who modded-up the above post - will attempt to "rape and pillage" when no one's looking... but with their tiny, soy-stunted dicks aren't likely to even penetrate a hapless bellybutton; they'll have to resort to dry-humping the statues they've toppled.

Good to see they don't have a monopoly on over-reacting to inconsequential things. I was worried for a second.
Also for the stand-up comic that risks being targeted with a stasi-style cancel campaign every time they tell a joke, inconsequential is a relative term.

Sorry, but if you look at an Orc, Troll, etc and think "Black Person", it's YOU who are the racist.
The whole point of the game is to give you enemies who aren't necessarily other PEOPLE to fight.
This is stupid virtue signaling, turned up to 11, and nothing more.
Look at what this woke crap has done to other industries, like comics.
Sure, the MOVIES make zillions.
But the actual comics industry is now in the toilet, in the process of being flushed.
And it's starting to metastatize in gaming.
