i used to be like 'well i'm a girl so no one in my family probably suspected i was autistic' but then i remember my aunt, who taught disabled kids, ALWAYS brought me stim toys "from work", how i had speech therapy growing up and would be routinely pulled out of classes for random tests, and the fucking Indigo Children book at my mom's house

whenever i see “NEVER have (insert -ism or -phobia here) in your ttrpgs” discourse pop up again i always roll my eyes so hard like…ppl act like having bad shit in your dnd games makes you, the players/dm morally corrupt. It all comes down to the setting and if everyone at the table is aware and consenting. And also that its clearly presented as, you know, wrong and shitty in the narrative. If you don’t want any kind of in-universe bigotry or social hardship in your game, that’s completely understandable! Me and my gay/disabled/minority players do, though, because engaging w certain subjects through a fantasy lens can be freeing and interesting for a story.
