And like, make no mistake, this whole thing smacks of gender. A lot of it's about eschewing care work and feminine signifiers and anything that registers as 'weak' to a ludicrious masculine ideal.

And having Lute, who’s so mad she’s willing to kill everyone just for spite.

You’re doing a terrible job playing chicken with trans lives because you’re telling us we lose either way.

The billion dollar question is, if trans people not voting for him might cause him to lose the election, why would the party nominate him? Is having transphobic Gavin Newsom as your candidate worth losing an election over?

can all make it through this together. Don't let them isolate you and pick you off one by one, rage against the dying of the light and start a fucking bonfire to keep that shit going, stay with us and we'll watch the sun rise together over the world we built

And the high elf vs dark elf thing dnd did is wildly racist, but they’re both elves, and you get a similar dynamic with humans v orcs. In that analogy, the elves are just portrayed as more aristocratic, which drives both the elf-superiority and elf-hate, depending on the inclination of the author.

I’m definitely not defending Tolkien. Tolkien’s elves have the same role in granting superiority to Aragorn through vague ancestry that the racists give their mythical “aryan” ancestors, but I’m not aware of the aryans being identified or associated with the elves of Norse mythology.

So if the question is, which fantasy race is a vehicle for white supremacist tropes, human probably is the most often, because it’s the default, but anything can be.

A lot of fantasy worlds, and notably DnD, have the problem where humans are default: diverse, adaptable, everywhere, non-specific; and the other races are a planet of hats. (even Star Trek has this problem.)

I don’t know that elves are consistent enough for that type of analysis. Maybe in Tolkien’s work. In Discworld they’re just a metaphor for nobility, in Dragon Age they suffer combination of how the US mistreats black and indigenous people. In other fantasy, they’re closer-to-nature noble savages.

Now I’m super upset about that picture:
1: someone wanted a picture of a cat, but didn’t care enough about cats to know what the teeth should look like. Jail for publisher. Jail for publisher for one thousand years.
2: the book is titled “obligate carnivore”, but those are omnivore teeth

Getting a picture of a cat should be both fun and real easy.

I’m shocked a machine that chewed up The Internet can’t spit out a proper picture of a cat.
