You see this bullshit in DnD groups that advertise being "LGBT friendly" Most of them have a requirements for no sexism/ableism/homophobia/xenophobia/and of course, racism. This includes the villains and antagonists
Can't have conflict of cultural differences either or it might be a parallel to islamophobia or some bullshit.
So what can you have as a source of conflict or a villain?
The only things I see them use is basically undead with no identifiable traits or cultures from when they were alive or shadowy abyssal creatures from the unknown (some HP lovecraft theme but not directly mentioned because lovecraft is a racist and they dont want to mention him even tho they love his xenophobic work.)
Which I'm sure if we found some extreme corner we can find these idiots also arguing against killing undead or creatures we don't understand that want to eat our minds. After all, we had leftoids literally defending the bugs in starship troops and relating to them.
Take for example of lack of conflict even with undead In DA bitchguard you get a necromancer companion, you'd think the utilization of the dead would be a debate topic among characters and the ethics of using ones bones against their will, but NOPE he's just a dapper chap with a cute skeleton buddy that squeaks! Haha so adorable. See? Skeleton likes being a slave!
I just hate that I've literally seen dapper necromancers before in play groups.
But to bring up ethical debates is uncomfortable and the goal for any LGBT heavily themed game or playgroup is to maximize comfort for everyone while eliminating ANY Uncomfortableness. There has to be 0, zero uncomfortableness. Yes, its that bad.
It's sort of like how you notice in the new DnD handbooks you see illustrations (some of them AI generated lol) of characters instead of being adventurers they're doing mundane background shit like baking, running a floral shop now.
These so called "people" dont want adventures and conflict to resolve. Instead they just want to play freakshit races, have their character do shit they can't do in real life like gardening successfully, and be gay. That's it.
Not even sure why they need a system for it. Just go roleplay on groomercord you fricks and leave the hobby alone.
Source: I've been in these groups before. And they were fricking boring.

I don't want to play this games if I can't hate elveBIPOCs. I remember thinking they were buttholes when I played Origins and was surprised when I played 2 that they were all buttholes in that game too. When I played Inquisition I was like "No way they're all going to be unlikeable buttholes this time too" and they were

Let's be honest, did anyone expect anything else 10 years after Inquisition?

In Inquisition elves acted as le oppressed stand-ins for native Americans, but at least they had a portrayal at all. In this game (at least in my play through so far) the dalish elves don't exist as culture. you have a party member who is dalish, but they behave just like a human.

DAO was trash, the scene where the king dies is somehow overdone and amateurish at the same time. Games where you e date polygon foids are embarrassing trash.

Oh sweet, we've come full circle. We're back to the 1940s, when (northern) people just never mentioned racism at all and pretended everyone got along just fine.

I can't remember Tevinter relationship with elves without mixing up the witcher. They're the evil slaver blood human sacrifice empire right? And as of inquisition pseudo homophobic? Where does that come in.

I think it was said that they first learned their magics from the ancient powerful elven empire (that was actually equally keen to enslave poor elves). But I don't remember well either.
Oh and the emo elf companion in DA2 suggest they have some magical warrior elven slaves.

I think the homophobia came from Dorian who was a gay human Tevinter mage companion who got excommunicated by his family for not passing on their family name more or less. Idk if it went beyond that, I do not remember.
But yeah Tevinter is basically the stand in for the Roman Empire in the DA universe but are pretty much about to fully collapse like Byzantine in 1400 as they are getting btfo'd by the Qunari (Ottomans).
And yeah Tevinter has slaves (both eleven and human) but they were the nation that shattered the elven homeland thousands of years prior to the games and are led by a bunch of magi that officially do not do blood magic (sacrifice) but in actuality totally do. Tevinter also killed DA's version of Jesus lol.
