    i knew that. but i had never talked to any of the random npcs before and it kind of caught me offguard. figured id share and see if someone else got a chuckle out of it.

    I fail to see the racism, no race or ethnics are mentioned, besides, they're all raccoons.
    It's like someone calling their neigbours baby ugly because they just don't like their neighbours.
    Not liking someone is racism now?

    This is like saying 1 cookie in the same box of different cookies looks better than the other cookies. That's racism too then.​​

    Well to us those raccoons look the same but they might have distinct enough differences to be called different races. Doubtful but racism is nowdays used more freely over ethnic groups, not simply "races", which could very well fit the raccoon situation. And they are then described as worse than ones own group, which is major part of racism. I am of the opinion people should get over themselves and stop misusing the word but meh.

    TL;Dr. In classic sense of the word, no, thats not racism but in modern context it tends to be considered as such.

    Even the early quests are messed up, one of the under lvl 20 quests for the untamed talks about a venomancer that was **** a human. And she then feels nostalgic, because he eventually escaped her, and she misses her plaything. It was rather jacked up to read it.

    I still rage about how Duke Blacke is a cheating wife/GF beater.
