A pretty straightforward solution could be to have those characters come from a particular cultural microcosm that is generally evil, does evil things, and has evil values. You don't have to say "all of this race is evil," you can say "the particular group of this race that this character is from, believes they are evil and evil is great/praiseworthy/respectable/the only way to survive."

The result is the same: a story about a character who rebels against what they were told all their lives and truly believed were innate traits, which turned out were traits that could be overcome (or at least handled and dealt with) even if habit and worldviews are hard to change.

It achieves the same emotional beats and actually makes more sense that way than The Special Exception somehow rebelling against traits we're supposed to believe were "innate" that applies to entire races.

I get you OP. It's also a trope I like. But I'm sure there are better ways to approach it too.

I don't play D&D so I'm probably missing stuff. But I'm bothered by the idea of an evil society, such as orcs, or the dark side of the Force-based aliens the sith were based on in Star Wars expanded universe canon. Like how does a society even get off the ground if there's no cooperation between others because everyone is busy doing evil things to each other? You'd need farmers, doctors, someone who makes clothes, someone who handles sewage, etc. A lot of society can't happen without not backstabbing each other, and that's why I'm primarily bothered by the idea of inherently evil cultures. It just doesn't make sense to me.

I in general still like the premise of your story ideas, OP, though!

Or you could just realize it's a game and it's fictional and it isn't meant to be racist and bigoted against anyone in reality.

Ah more performative moral handwringing over a non-starter of a subject. What a novel thing to see here on FS.

Personally I like the Trek approach. Then again, also like the Star Wars approach. In both cases there is something for everyone, but you can also skip what you aren't interested in.

The adaptations sure are springing up like mushrooms these days...

If anything, I think they should care less about internal lore and interconnectedness, and throw even more things at the wall to see what sticks

I just wish they would try a show that's pure episodic and low budget

[(Anonymous)]

I havent been keeping up with Star Trek at all, but the franchize did "coherent interconnected universe" for years so I'm okay with them letting their hair down or whatever.

No comments at all? On my part of Tumblr, everyone except me likes Worm, so it's always a surprise to see how little anyone cares about it here.

(I once went on this comics website where seemingly everyone who read the site was a fan of a zombie comic called Shootaround. Outside of that site, I have never, ever heard anyone mention Shootaround. I think Worm occupies the same position, famous within its niche and unknown outside it.)

i think the reels/tiktoks are super cringe too, but i also fully support people making money off others in any way they way to, as long as they feel comfortable, which is why most of these people make tiktoks in cosplays to begin with.
