Also, if you get pregnant when you become a woman, and then stop taking the potion and turn into a man again, does that mean that your fetus disappears too?

Rumiko Takehashi knew better than to answer that question in Ranma 1/2.

Rumiko Takehashi knew better than to answer that question in Ranma 1/2.

But the answer from progressive creators is simple: Of course the fetus disappears because it's just a clump of cells.

So there's people redesigning the main cast on YouTube...
https://youtube.com/watch?v=xzF987ytWFsWhy is everyone an elf now? Also, why is Parsley tall and darker, when she's a white dwarf? The elf's supposed to be the "black" one.

Did you watch the video? She explained in it that she was bored of the "Dwarf = Blacksmith" trope and decided to make Parsley a tiefling, which are humans with fiendish ancestry that finally decided to display itself in the otherwise normal human bloodline. (Usually. Sometimes they're their own separate race from humans, it depends on what you're playing/who you're playing with.) Tieflings are tall and tend to have red/purple skin tones. Sage was turned into an elf because she's very magic-oriented and her redesign has a more nature-y vibe, and Thyme's now some sort of faun-like creature with deer ears and antlers just because she wanted to do something different.

Shocker. All (presumably) straight hwhwite males.

Miss me with that lazy amateur hour shit. Don't flip the script halfway then bitch out when you get to the knife-eared faggots.

Lefties have obsession with faggot elves to the point you can pretty much expect them. A race of highly intelligent but physically weak people that are naturaly beautiful and like to dress in shiny and beautiful clothes? They must be fags!

And since we are on the topic... I'll never get tired of these.

Figured I'd mention it here had this dream involving the HGS girls fighting the bad guy (who was pretty much Akio Ohtori from Revolutionary Girl Utena but as a straight white original character donut steal) in which after a battle the girls used their "muh friendship" powers to corner him in the classroom where the trans professor defeated him by magically tossing him into an actual garbage can, and the day was saved. And the writers were super proud of that decision because it was the most "kid-friendly" way to defeat a villain while symbolically reminding the audience he was a piece of trash and much lulz was had from all who witnessed it.

I otherwise don't remember much of the dream although there were girls in cryogenic containers being stolen by said-bad guy. I dunno, didn't sleep all that well I guess, but I just had to mention it because I can almost believe it to be a legit thing that happens.

I thought they are more obsessed with "special unique race", especially ones that are usually evil but are actually misunderstood and without any actual negatives. So tiefling check most of their boxes.

To a certain degree. They are more into the "virtuous outcast". You know... The weirdo that everyone spurns for right reasons and is thought to be evil/bad when in reality they are normal like everyone but they aren't given a chance by evil society. I guess that's one reason why so many of them make Tiefling rogues and suck up to witches and warlocks while haiting clerics and paladins in D&D. Very autistic tbh since i had to deal with one such person several times.

But at the same time remember these people project their own percieved prejudices on other characters. They see orcs being violent and bloodthirsty? Must be the creators wanting to shit on black people... Do you see lithe, delicate and beautiful men? All of them must be fags. They project very hard and then blame others for their own stupidity.

In fact, if you see orcs as "black-coded" you may be the racist one.

Lefties really see orcs like that. I even remember the videos where they were trying to shame people into not making all orcs evil because it would be the same as making all blacks evil, doing very obvious comparisons to black people. It is pretty stupid to see how hard they try to reach in order to excuse their own shit. It's not bad to fall into stereotypes for fantastical races since they adhere to the lore of some of the more established ones (like dwarves being industrious metal workers).

And jokes on them, orcs took inspiration on asian steppe hordes like the Huns or the Mongols.

Wait... I'm surprised orcs are actually asian-coded

 

[Malagor the dank omen]

I also was surprised when i found out they originally were meant to be big scary horde armies from central asian. Which is weird because most times orcs have been depicted their buildings don't have the signature architecture of central asia, as well as most of the time not having horse archers nor heavy use of cavalry. A missed opportunity tbh.

Well, there is a bit of controversy over what the orcs as Tolkien envisioned them (since all modern orcs ultimately take after them) were meant to represent. Some say they really represented the British lower class, or at least how the industrial revolution had effectively dehumanized them.

Also unlike HGS, Dragon Commander made its women attractive.

Long before the Industrial revolution the English upper class and especially the nobility viewed the lower classes as varying degree of sub human. Even well after industrial revolution they still held the same opinion and didn't kvetch at the slaughter during WWI except for their own upper class brethren.

The virgin queer elves versus the chad dwarven homophobes and skeletal traditionalists.

 

[Malagor the dank omen]

The virgin queer elves versus the chad dwarven homophobes and skeletal traditionalists.

The female supremacist general was also pretty funny, specially if you tell her to go fuck herself.

But tbh, lately most fantasy creations are very hugboxy: there is no tension, rivalry or cultural differences between different races. And i'm not talking about the usual "dwarves vs elves" thing. You should expect that thoughout history and culture tension appeared and grudges are held by everyone against others. Everyone holds hands and there isn't friction between people and they don't bring up traditions or mock others for old cultural customs. It's really boring.

I heard that they were actually a representation of how war can twist even the greatest of men into bloodthirsty monsters. It makes sense, since Tolkein explicitly stated that Orcs are literally just corrupted elves.

Though he did definitely take inspiration from the Mongols and Huns in terms of Orc culture, albeit very loosely. There's also an argument that he took some inspiration from the Prussians as well since they were a very warlike, conquering, military focused people. Tolkein never really limited himself when it came to inspiration and pulled from a bunch of different groups and concepts to create the races and cultures found in his books. It's really fascinating, honestly.

Doesn't even need to be friction or any antagonism. Like you say, cultures are very different and that can be a starting point for the conflict of a good story.

Thing is, for that you need to be creative and have the skill to craft a good narrative that it's interesting. That is the problem here: these people can only write qbout gay shit and romance. And that's not a plot for fantasy, that's the subplot and the characterisation. At least try to make it some quest to find the magic to change yyour sex, but nah, you need effort for that.
