The only naive mistake on any players' part would be playing with this guy in the first place

That too - same reason why racism allegories like bunny-cop don't work so well. When you try to write a story as 1:1 parallel to real life using species with vast inherent physical disparities, things tend to get messy.

That's not to say you can't draw upon the history of racism, colonialism, etc., for your scifi or fantasy ofc, but it requires a little more effort and consideration than that to make a compelling story

Tabletop Rpg posts, content, and recruitment posts.

Recruitment posts should contain what system is being played, CW for any adult/serious themes players need to be aware of and whether a game is beginner friendly.

An obvious reminder of no racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia and transphobia.

Emphasis on small independent rpgs like the ones in the TTRPGs for Trans Rights in Texas but not against dnd stuff.
