Personally, I'd never even considered that folk might object to romances with gnomes, halflings and dwarves on the grounds that they are "childlike", and that's not how I see those races at all. I'd hope that any studio would have some evidence of such attitudes, and that they were both widespread and worthy of being taken into account, before second guessing public opinion in such a way. But perhaps such evidence exists? I'll admit it's not a discussion I recall seeing elsewhere.
Honey, there are woke extremists who complain that Avatar is a racist movie because the main cast of the movie are blue people in places that should have been black people Woke extremists really are THAT stupid. And it is not an isolated case, there's loads of stuff like that going on.
If there is something that someone might feel even a little bit offended by, you can be sure that they will make it known loudly. And companies are so scared of the cancel culture that they prefer to bend their backs, cancel everything, fire rational thinking people and write public apologies for them.
We live in sad times indeed... But I'm really getting off topic a little bit.
Getting off topic a lot, especially when I said "woke" was a term that had too much political baggage and these forums discouraged political discussion not directly related to the game. That was NOT okay.
And I'll admit, calling me "honey" like that is going to put my back up in a big way, so that is probably best avoided too .
No more anti-woke polemic please.
"You may call it 'nonsense' if you like, but I've heard nonsense, compared with which that would be as sensible as a dictionary!"
