I expect your comment to be deleted anyway, since it seems to me like an off-topic soap box on a non-issue, but still feel that you should get a reply before that happens. So I ask you this: Do you really expect WotC to burn because their new stance is: "orcs and drow are just as morally and culturally complex as other peoples."? This seems a bit extreme, does it not? Maybe because I'm coming from the dark eye, "the German DnD", which has always been a bit different for historical reasons, but I'm not sure why you are so offended. I'm genuinely curious in your viewpoint here, since it is so foreign to me.

D&D is an extensive and beloved cultural tradition, and WotC is trying to engineer changes to it. What if the publishers of The Lord of the Rings started selling a version that had been revised for political correctness. Tolkien fans would be upset. If that reaction would be confusing to you, I don't think any explanation could bridge the difference in perspective.

  > D&D is an extensive and beloved cultural tradition, and WotC is trying to engineer changes to it I am sure many Tolkien purists do hate Peter Jackson and/or Amazon. Personally I'm kind of happy whenever we get to visit Middle Earth.
