>In modern times, liberal arts education is a term that can be interpreted in different ways. It can refer to certain areas of literature, languages, art history, music history, philosophy, history, mathematics, psychology, and science.[3] It can also refer to studies in a liberal arts degree program. For example, Harvard University offers a Bachelor of Arts degree, which covers biological and social sciences as well as the humanities. For both interpretations, the term generally refers to matters not relating to the professional, vocational, or technical curriculum
God, this bait makes me mad. I MAD. I'd say you should reconsider breeding, but by the sounds of things you wouldn't know what you were doing anyway.
John Ross
Well you don't exactly learn fuck-all about genetics in Art History or "Women's Studies" that's for sure.

>My analogy wasn't even meant to make sense! Then how the fuck did you expect us to get anything meaningful out of it? >I don't even understand what I did wrong! It's not that you used a term incorrectly; this isn't the Wyvern/Dragon debate. What you did was fundamentally misunderstand the principles of what you were talking about, making anything you said completely nonsensical.
Now, addressing what you actually meant; >dwarves and elves are just humans with overly exaggerated masculine and feminine features OK, great. What would that imply? As far as I can tell, you've just reworked human genetics to create two new chromosomal disorders. They'd almost certainly have to live with humans and keep their culture, since your elves would need humans and dwarves to reproduce. The opposite is true of your dwarves.They'd also be even more biologically similar to humans than other depictions, since they have to reproduce with them.
In short, you've removed any chance of elves or dwarves being interesting, at all.

>That better, you little no-fun-faggots who nitpick at a dumb analogy that isn't suppose to make sense in the first place? So you admit that this was shitposting, but you didn't want people to have pedantic responses to it? You're a weird person, user.
Sebastian Baker
>it isn't supposed to make sense in the first place This is effectively the same as >I was only pretending to be retarded.
If you're going to use a real-world analogy to get across your point (which would have been conveyed perfectly well by just outright saying it), perhaps you should make sure your real-world analogy has a basis in the real world.
Also, the "It's fantasy, it's not like the real world" excuse only works if the thing in question diverges from its real-world counterpart in order to serve the plot/setting, it's just an asspull when the divergence from the real-world only serves to prevent you from having to admit you may have been wrong.
Mason Williams
Fantasy genetics can work however you want. But, to avoid confusion, please don't use real-world notation, especially when your use is not consistent with common usage.
Lincoln Perry
Wew, I feel dumber just by reading those words
Parker Davis
You made an analogy that made no sense and got mad when people don't understand it?
