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.
And anyone who thinks you have a point other than whining because you no longer feel special needs a rude awakening.
There is absolutely zero wrong with fleshing out the former mook/cannon fodder races in a fantasy game. None. And there are especially good reasons to do so if people have been dragging real world racism into the fantasy game using those races as a vehicle because they lack depth or nuance.
WOTC exists to make money. If they're finding that a small number of racist asshats are using their lack

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.

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.
Oh well. A 40-odd ye
