I didn't appreciate the youtuber's "anti woke" comments but he's largely correct. This is coming from WotC and not Larian. 6e is shaping up to be the most generic version of DnD to date.
That doesn't mean we shouldn't ask Larian to make it an optional feature and to retain 5e version. I suspect they have some pull and WotC knows that fans are upset after OGL kerfuffle.
I want to be able to play a gold dwarf - to be born a twin to be better spoken and have less rugged features that mountain dwarf kin.
And half elves were the quintessential adventuring species. I makes sense that someone that would always feel an outsider in either an elven or a human community would chose to forge their own path trough life and chose a life of danger over a life of comfort.
You think WotC would have learned its lesson after the 4e fiasco : don't take away things players like.
We can just sit One DnD or 6e or however it is called out and wait for the next one after that or just continue to play 5e.
But I agree with everything you said .
