I still can't get over this image, specifically the last part.
...Why would you want a smaller bed? That's the best part about being small!

@Elliptica these people don't understand the "role playing" part of rpgs, I think it's a sign of low IQ
-
@ColdOnesLite I think it's a woman thing. Women tend to over-empathize, which means they project themselves onto almost everything. As such they usually end up roleplaying themselves.
-
Plus, i think you kinda have a point. After all, women are the main advocates to release rapists and murderers

@AngryWraith @ColdOnesLite @Elliptica @Morghur STOP GIVE FEMALES RIGHTS, YOU STUPID NIGGERS.

@Elliptica Bigger bed for proper goblin breeding.

@Elliptica guy running the front desk of a hotel looks up and sees an Asian guest there to check in, says "Greetings, my Oriental friend! We have little beds just your size available!"

Still, fantasy worlds having fantasy racism adds flavour to them and also a hint of grounding. But in today's fake and gay world where every filthy parasite and disgusting wretched person has to be accomodated you cannot be mean to a race that is known mainly for stealing and murdering.
Or for example, if it's widely known that Gnolls piss on their belongings to mark them as their own, would any merchant in their sane mind buy a weapon or a piece of clothing from a Gnoll?

@Elliptica @ColdOnesLite @Morghur so basically florida's Japanese garden in west palm beach (technically its east but who cares :guraKekw: )

@Morghur @ColdOnesLite Probably, racism isn't the right word here. Or maybe it is, but... idk. The way I see things, racism only comes about when different cultures living in close proximity compete over the same resources.
So that's something that should be applied in fantasy settings, scarcity of resources. Why would a human want to rent limited space of his hotel to a goblin??? Never mind their reputation of being evil, or unintelligent, or murdering everything without warning. A human settlement would prioritize humans over outsider races.

Yep, it's also this. You will prioretize your own rather than others and you will keep the other races in the down low unless you want a rebellion brewing. You want their numbers low so nothing happens in case war breaks out.
But again, if you want 2 different races living together, you need to have something important that makes one of them willing to live with the other. Like fleeing an oppresive society or well paid labour in some sort of are of expertise that race is kinda good. Or maybe they have some natural trait that makes them able to take up that work without risk.
Also, another thing that they also don't think is accomodating "the weird one". Like the small bed for goblins... But in a real case, how if you had to house an ogre? That would be impossible. Or if a race found hazardous something to eat or something there is in your establishment. Or if they find something you do or that is there offensive to them. Any innkeeper would not accomodate all those pesky retards. But maybe one or two might catch up and see a business niche.

@Morghur @ColdOnesLite Yeah, something I learned about a few years ago which I found very interesting was that Southern Houston Texas was very Japanese. Houston is on the coast, so there is a lot of swampy land around there that can't be used for much. The city government realized it could be used for rice farming, but didn't have rice farmers to draw from, and so asked if the Japanese government would be willing to send people to do it.
In contrast to the Chinese immigration to California around the same time which prompted the exclusion act, the Japanese and Texans got along swimmingly (this is interesting to be primarily because people's assumptions is that this is backwards). In fact, there are parts of southern Houston that are still named after the Japanese who lived there, it's sort of a forgotten part of their history.
Anyway I think it was relatively peaceful because they were not stepping on each others toes. The Japanese were on otherwise useless land, and doing a job that no one locally could really do. If they left, almost nothing would change, and it didn't impact the people living there.
So I've taken this as a lesson about how to write two different groups living peacefully near each other - they can't compete much.

@luithe @ColdOnesLite @Morghur Yes. There is another one like it in San Antonio Texas too, but it suffered a name change after WWII started. The one in Palm Beach is also prettier, imo.
-
@Elliptica @ColdOnesLite @Morghur makes sense its pettier considering the climate is pretty much the same humid swampy areas or temperate areas
Makes sense it would be prettier
