And I would expect the woke social justice warriors like myself to extend the same courtesy by keeping discussion points specific and relevant to the game.

The political fight you refer to is an important one and I don’t duck away from it in other contexts, but this is not the place.

I hope this thread is closed before it further poisons the atmosphere on this forum.
+1 to the thread-closing idea. I think LotusPetal has made the point they wanted to make, and we can move on. Any further discussion here has little to do with character creation, and more to do with Larian's presentation as a company and political arguments, which are not within the scope of the forum. I have added spoiler tags to my tangent point above.

Edit: Having said that, I do feel like I missed out on shitposting in the other "how dare you joke about white male two years ago" thread in General, so maybe don't close this one so we can get some good shitposting action in. (Joking, in case it wasn't abundantly clear)
