Which rulebook is that?
FATAL, now roll an anal circumference saving throw.
Memes are good at presenting false dichotomies for people to nod knowingly and say yeah, that about sums it up.
genuinely, how are these not mutually exclusive, then?
These examples seem mutually exclusive, but I'm not sure why you're asking that. I'm saying the RPG landscape is much more varied than two opposing edge cases - which is how memes tend to misrepresent the world.
it felt more like two examples posited, to me.
Both of what are valid?
Most the time when people say 'no in game racism' they mean 'these races are bad and these races are good!'
Ten bucks says the first group hasn't had a single character die in the whole campaign, and the second group is all on their second characters due to the Sybian Incident
That's because the first group does their mimic checks
the first group is actively avoiding death, because it's realistic to not want to die
the second group has characters jump into sarlacc pits because hoo hoo hee hee funny
Safety tools shouldn't be lumped under style of play, IMO.
Yeah, if anything, they're MORE important in a gritty game with death and racism. The further a campaign is likely to go, the more you need to know what's "too far".

I want the first one but with high magic. Do you know how compelling the story can be when you're fighting racist oppressors who have access to 'Wish'?
"I wish for all wishes made after this one to fail spectacularly"
👀
I'm the opposite, I want romance, character death, low magic, a later era (1700s theming more than 800s), safety tools out the wazoo and in-game bigotry that my party can rebel against.
Yes, the term "in-game racism" is pretty broad. Does it mean anything that's not a human, elf, dwarf or halfling has a KILL ME sign on it? Or when elves and dwarves don't get along? Or that character races are called "races" instead of "species"? Is it racism when character race influences stats?
What if someone things humans are fine, but is against variant humans?
I knew it's just optional rules, but I think it's funnier to think of it as an in-universe race of humans.
sir, a second wish has hit the hightower
