The Troublesome Depiction of Evil Monster Races in Fantasy Media
In the enchanting realms of fantasy media, where dragons soar and heroes embark on epic quests, there lies a troubling trend: the portrayal of certain races as inherently evil. Dungeons and Dragons, a cornerstone of fantasy role-playing, has often been criticized for perpetuating harmful stereotypes, particularly in the depiction of races like Drow Elves and Orcs. This troubling trend not only limits the potential for rich storytelling but also serves as a problematic allegory to real-world racism.
