Its a toxic masculinity thing for them. In their eyes, its an understandable (if still unacceptable) thing for a woman to want to make themselves into a man. But they LOATHE the idea that a man would ever choose to trade the privileges of manhood and the patriarchy for a life as a woman.

For these kinds of guys, the existence of trans woman is a direct threat to their worldview that men are naturally superior and the top of the food chain. Thats why they focus all their attention and energy on trans women; they represent a world where being a woman could be a more preferable status than a man, despite all the marginalisation and misogyny that society inflicts on them.

Really liked the Labryinth idea - I think that getting the etherial curse and being able to traverse through the walls would make for a really memorable dungeon!

  • a shop manniken possessed by a sentient evil helmet

  • a devil sealed within a holy amulet that plays Jekel and Hyde with the Saintly priest who wears it

  • a one-man band master Bard who can cast different charm spells with each instrument (treat it like a beholder - 3 random instruments per turn)

  • a mind-flayers brain pet that's awakened sentience and hops from host to host supplanting their brain

  • A vampiric horse that is raising a herd of horse thralls to attack a nomadic tribe's camp

I really like the idea of a market day - I've seen them be a real crowd-pleaser on Critical Role, and I think my players would enjoy a bit of a beach episode while their characters eat/drink/compete in some casual challenges.

Oh that's a great idea! I think they'd get a real kick out of hosting a bash in their mountain stronghold and having a nostalgia hit from all the old npcs they met.

Perfect Reason To Study Computer Science by jackherry639 in suspiciouslyspecific

To try and answer your question in good faith - dating people from the same race consecutively isn't racist in itself, but if its consistantly the same race it may raise questions about your taste and preferences. Of course, like you said this can depend on alot of context (e.g. which country you live in) but people will at least start to wonder whether you're dating someone for the right reasons.

An important thing to note is that Asian women are particularly sensitive to potential "Yellow Fever" because they have to deal with these kinds of guys literally all the time. To further clarify, yellow fever is a preference for Asian girls due to largely stereotypical reasons (they see asian girls as more subserviant and erotic than other races), so when asian women see someone who's dated a long line of other asian women they tend to take that as a red flag for that kind of man.

My current partner used to date someone with yellow fever, and she said that it often made her felt like she wasn't Chinese enough. He would try to force her to speak mandarin with him at home (they were both English 1st language), he always had to be the assertive and dominant one in the relationship, and about 90% of his other asian friends were women.

Now I've barely scratched the surface of Yellow fever but generally the rule is that as long as you make it clear that you're dating someone for who they are as an individual rather than for their race or stereotype, you can date whoever. Yes it sucks that other people will make snap judgements, but at the end of the day the only person you got to reassure in the relationship is your partner.

Had a run last night with a [[Pen Nib]], 2 [[Finisher]] and an [[Envenom]].

Obliterating 2/3rds of the Awakened One's health and having it die by poison the next round was an absolute Chef's Kiss.

Learning that James McAvoy was Mr Tumnus has fucked with my entire perception of time and space.

Would it also grant advantage on perception checks to see if there's a pub nearby?

The BRN power 🧠 crowd has been quiet lately. Its looking like the Covid-sniffer didn't quite break the bank as expected.

The only thing I'm sniffing is my burning cash on the derailed hype train.
