Moses badass or no?

He's going by the name Khalid right now, but seeing as he's talked about how Egypt was the land of his birth and he has a magic staff and is thousands of years old and one of his missions is named "The Unburnt Bush", I'm pretty sure he's Moses
Also he points out how dumb having a PvP element while the apocalypse is rapidly approaching is

plus, again, this is Something Awful, it's supposed to be uncool. being tasteless is what the site's all about, ostensibly - just warding around one of our own makes that attitude a lot less respectable imo. one thing is not tolerating blatant racism etc another thing is making individuals off-limits

what fictional race and what game

Usually elves, though often any airy, flighty race of slight and effeminate beings

LP fans just naturally tend to empathize more with filth-covered hirsute drunkards, I suppose

The calls for elven genocide are often coupled with terms and phrases that are commonly seen alongside homophobic rants

In fact, I have noticed that while it is often claimed that elves/fae folk/whatever are hated because they are "mary sues" or "think they're better", the terminology involved almost always smacks of reactionary rhetoric w/r/t environmentalists, women, and LGBT people

In short I think there is a definite link between the cultivation of the dwarf (hard working, alcoholic, foul-tempered and masculine) as a totem creature and the disdain of the fair folk as a symbol of hated effeminacy

It's basically every thread you see it in

Elves referred to as "prancing"
"Tree-hugger"
"Preening"
"Fancy"
"Fabulous"
"Mincing" (yes, seriously)

that's just a handful of the ones I've seen recently

It paints a pretty ugly picture about the subconscious underpinnings of their desire for elf genocide

Oh they were goin bugshit in the Drakengard 3 thread because the loathsome sociopathic Nice Gal (literally a Nice Guy but a magical girl demigod) massacred a bunch of elven civilians and children and justified it through "haha, they were all related to pirates, they would have grown up to be pirates. And it's not like they were human" and like 20 people or so went "oh man Four is the best, yeah genocide those elven faggots" and it was really fuckin weird

Dark ID LP threads do tend to devolve into fantasy calls for genocide. Hell in Chrono Cross you genocide the dwarves that are genociding the fairies because you genocided a hydra.

The Dwarves literally do that to themselves

Also they still have their families back at home, it's just the group that invaded that island that karked it

Also the main thing to take away is that the dwarves were running around screaming about nature while shooting you with a tank.
