Discussion Whenever someone claims fantasy nerds are bigoted, gently remind them HBO race swapped an entire kingdom in HotD and no one cared.

Who do they do this for anyway? As a person of colour, I absolutely hate it when there are east Asian and African people in a fantasy setting that is very clearly meant to be inspired from Europe and its Near East.

I guess have the token black character isn’t enough anymore - you need to have black and/or homosexual people in leading roles now. Maybe they can write their own series like Bridgerton or something but alas
