Would anyone even be circumcised in fantasy worlds? Lol.

Yeah, it evolved independently as a practice in several regions, including Africa and the Middle East, Australia, and South America.

A lot of hotter climates, for some reason. It was, presumably, a hygiene practice, so you can argue the practice for any culture with poor water access or high risk of skin infections.

Or one heavily influenced by a culture like that.

The both claims are dubious at best. Simply put nobody knows for sure but almost certainly none of them relate to hygiene, health, or cleanliness.

It's all ritual insanity. Whether that be to gods, masculinity, the rich and famous, or who knows that else.

Lol, that’s straight up not true.

Hygiene isn't an issue in D&D, so I don't see why people would bother.

Mystra: It would be funny if we got mortals to cut off their dick skin.

Rest of the gods: 🤨
