snarp: small cute androgynous android crossing arms and looking very serious (Default)

If I were to play a goblin, I'd end up getting kicked off the RP server for playing a goblin from this dark AU where the orcs keep accusing my people of killing and eating their children and confiscating our property, and Varian Wrynn is a thinly-veiled representation of Hitler, and everyone thinks we caused the zombie plague by poisoning the wells, or something.

(I feel that the goblins are Jewish stereotypes. This means that I found the Fizzle Darkstorm quest unsettling, because I felt vaguely as if I was participating in the final scene of the blood libel narrative, where the wicked Jewish sorcerers are killed by righteous men, and their demonic associates banished.

It bugs me that this game has forced me to say, "I found Fizzle Darkstorm unsettling.")
