If you can find me anywhere in the neverwinter or drizzt series where Drow are specifically mentioned as being black people when real black people also exist in that series let me know and Ill be outraged, otherwise its just a Drow cosplay and it shouldnt be regarded as offensive.
The whole being turned black to show how evil they are (at least in Forgotten Realms lore, where Drizzt if from) is definitely a bit iffy.

I don't think the Community episode should be removed personally. The joke isn't making fun of black people. It's making fun of morons who paint themselves black and don't see the problem with it. It's the same context as Tropic Thunder.

If any dark makeup touches white skin it's immediately offensive.

CE has said mr popo isnt blackface because he's not human. and cosplaying as mr popo is not blackface because he is a fictional character.

I do kinda wish drow were pale arse weirdo's instead. I don't think that their being cursed into being black as punishment was intentionally racist but rather them adopting the theme of black = evil, without thinking of implications of applying that to people.

yea it definitely seems like a bad hindsight thing.

thats too bad because I actually really like Drow, which is partially why I even defended the community episode until I saw he got kicked out of the game and theres a reference to black face in the episode, thus fair.

And you surporting blackface is more offensive then anything on this topic. Then again, you get mad when a racist gets his ass kicked for saying racist shit.


It's an elf, not a black person.

What are your thoughts on Always Sunny's use of blackface?

Quite a bit of Gary Gygax's stubborn idealism has been abandoned over time. Maybe a Drow redress will happen eventually.
Most other media has been changing "dark elves" to ambiguously brown (or sometimes ambiguously blue) anyway.

TC might be better off finding Hercules starring Ryan Gosling.

An old sitcom that had a character named "Boner". Also I think Leonardo DiCaprio was on there for awhile.

Whether they're "owned" by a far left corporation is irrelevant. Fact of the matter is most people involved in product campaigning are now millennials and every popular company has cow-tailed to the twitter mob when they feel threatened.
