Wasnt it D&D where this whole recent controversy about Orcs being black people came from? What is wrong with these people and why are all of these nerdy hobbies the battleground for this stuff?

I dunno what's particularly laughable or shocking about that. Pathfinder has already replaced it with Heritages IIRC

It's ancestries for the "primary"-level of a species (EG "Elf") and heritages for the sub-types, such as "Woodland Elf."

I mean if you are like me you dont really care.

If I played that would be annoying though.

Its "bad" because these kind of people think they are somehow helping fight racism or something by changing the most generic wording to something else.

Like why? I am REALLY trying to contemplate the mind of someone who actually thinks calling Elves and Orcs different races issomehow problematic. But I cant understand, its logic invented in bizarro world.

Just change it to "species".

That's a more accurate term anyway.

D&D has seen a rise in popularity over the past few years so it's becoming mainstream.

Who cares? Like Accolon said, species is more accurate anyway. And I like how Pathfinder using Ancestry instead, just sounds better.

From the depths, the thing they called Worm King did rise.
Nirn itself did scream in the Mages' and Necromancers' war.

Not really-- in core D&D both elves & orcs can reproduce with humans, so theoretically they would all be variants of the same species.
