>No racism, homophobia IC or OOC, even game races seems to be pushing it.
>Feel like I'm going to get a lecture if my Orc Barbarian want's to expand his tribes borders and become a warlord as it's not humane enough and also advocates colonialism.

>Every human male NPC is a whiny punk (literally either subservient to powerful women or a villain if they are white).
