Pick a better battle because you're making all of us anti-capitalists look like fucking idiots.

I guess the difference is that those of us that would argue with you would believe that you are reasonable individuals whereas, shocker, the genociders are not reasonable.

It's part of the discussion because the guy is a racist and told a person of color to "go back where they came from".

"Nativism is a cancer" is insane. What are you, pro-colonialism? Pro-genocide? You have to genuinely have something wrong with you.

If we're going to be anal about it, we don't need to mention ancestors at all. One of these people was born in Idaho. The other was not. Get it?

You seem to not be understanding so let me break it down.

Playable - you can play as this

You have a list of playable character options in the character creation section of the phb, and additional ones provided by sourcebooks.

If it isn't a playable character option, it isn't playable. RAW. It isn't an option. It isn't playable.

RAW. Let me get that through your head.

"Rules as written"

Not RAI.

Not "rules as intended"

RAW.

Written.

If it makes a character into a non playable character option, what rule is suddenly making that character playable? Nothing explicitly states that you can play as a character that is not a playable character option. You have a set list of RAW character options.

I think maybe you've missed the whole point of this thread, dawg. I read the first sentence and then dismissed the entirety of your comment because you clearly either don't understand or aren't engaging with the premise.

So you're just giving up and not engaging with my point? That's super boring.

Go on, then, which part was false? Explain it slowly.

I mean, this is a game where we are being intentionally obtuse. I don't care about the game in any capacity. I care about what is written in the rulebook.

Feels like you may have lost the plot of your own joke post.

I think there is a term for this. The (insert name here) effect. You won't leave because they're there. They won't leave because their audience is there.

You have less incentive to stay, really. What are you afraid of missing out on?

Idek the historical context or anything that's going on in this situation right now, but your inability to see nuance and your insistent strawman is telling and exhausting.
