'lore accurate mods'
it's a fictional work, the only thing it has to be accurate to is itself!
It’s such a reactionary dog whistle. I used to be one of those “lore accurate” nerds for Tolkein. But for stuff like, “It’s Dwarves, not Dwarfs, that was intentional by Tolkein so we should use Dwarves as the plural.”
When I saw the same nerds I used to argue unimportant shit like that with turn around and say “The elves can’t be black and I’m not racist it’s just the lore” I ran out of there so fast.
I actually think elves should be dark skined. They have long limbs and slender bodies. Allens rule says this is a trait of tropical animals. Then you add the long ears with a lot of surface area those likley evolved as a way of termoregulating like those on the fenec fox or similar animals.
So these are clearly adapted to a more tropical enviorment than regular humans. And since skin color is also correlated with latitude you would expect them to be generally darker skined. Except from some outling populations that moved north and adapted to colder climates and agricultural diets outside of the forests.
Dark elves on the other hand. Should be very pale since thay live underground. Think mole rats.
it used to mean "this doesn't have thomas the tank engine or anime characters in it"
now it usually means "no gay stuff"
I'll be cold dead in the ground before I recognize "Macho Man Randy Savage dragons" are not lore accurate.

for one the official lore of faerun is so jumbled and often contradictory over the years that you could almost say anything about it and it would be true according to one official source of another
on the other hand because the lore is a cooperative element of each table who is actively playing the game and thereby writing it as they go along anything you like is lore accurate because you are one of the writers of the lore yourself as a player and a gm
I'm more interested in 'based mods' in this context
Mods to make female characters more scantily clad and have shittier stats (also no black people) would be my bet as to what this mouth breather considers 'based'
I think they're referring to a specific mod website that allows mods that nexusmods will take down - so think homophobia, racism, sexism etc
Lore accurate mods probably means adding boobs to lizards and making black people white if I had to guess (yes both exist)
One of the coolest things about reptiles is gender ambiguity. No boobs, they have a genital slit and many of them have a retractable penis, sometimes two. Some female reptiles and choose whether or not to get pregnant and/or store cum for later. Imagine how interesting a society like that would be, and what kinds of gender roles, relationship norms, and such would shake out.
That’s the kind of stuff fantasy could really explore. Turning them into people with scales, keeping the obvious secondary sexual characteristics, is fucking boring and played out.

What I'm reading here is we need more exotic genitalia in our mainstream video games
Let me play as a male bee person whose dick explodes when he cums
Noticer? Morel ike notice deez nuts
It's funny because they're trying to come up with a term that's equal to woke but isn't woke.
"noticer" or "vigilant" or some other synonym for woke that isn't "asleep"
Hey daddy-o, are you hep to the space lasers?

"noticing some issues with the lore here"noticer
Fash dogwhistle vibes
because it is one
Yeah, it's been one since at least the 90s.
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to notice wokeness. The signs are extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of noticing theory most of these signs will go over a typical viewer's head.
you need a high wq
wokeness quotient
These dorks are so media illiterate that it would be a miracle if they noticed anything.
Truly a prestigious title, noticer. Surely this must be the most skilled of the illusive noticers. The noticest if you will.

There was literally a mod to make Wyll white because they can't handle the existence of dark-skinned people in a cosmopolitan metropolis with Renaissance-level tech
Motherfuckers don't even know about Reasonable Blackman
Not going to lie, I read that as "nouncer"
More like noncer

It's outright unambiguous fash. They're (((noticing)))
This story about agency, hierarchy and its relationship to authority is totally apolitical when you ignore the gay relationships and minority representation.
That obsession with dyed hair always gets me. Are they hiring managers for Starbucks in 2008 or something?
Probably cognitive dissonance, they're super attracted to colored hair women, but they tend to be too progressive for them.
Almost every single fucking anime I've seen chuds liking has women with non-natural hair coloring and then they go on Reddit or wherever else to complain how woke it is lmao

Noticer: Wait a minute...
woke 👎🏽
Then prepare to die!
