Specifically how in early 2000’s on online forum in Q&A thread someone asked him if Paladin should fall for killing Kobold children, and he replied no because “nits make lice”, which is the exact same words John Chivington used to try to weasel his way out of being court-martialled for mass murder of Native American women and children.
Woooooah what? Is that true? I knew about the horrible misogyny shit he said but that is a VERY specific phrase to use related to genocide and ethnic cleansing. Holy shit I feel really uncomfortable all of a sudden.
Okay but it’s fantasy, I guess I don’t know enough about dnd lore but that doesn’t feel like it’s that crazy to me as a fantasy setting rule or something…
The common example is how entire races are “evil” like goblins and orcs.

You can just play a bad guy. In a group of them, even. It’s fine. Fun even, if the group’s up to it.
The fucked part is doing it then pretending you’re not.
