In the most recent book (Tashas cauldron) they added rules so that racial bonuses don’t even matter anymore — you can just move them around like you want. They did this obviously to pander to sjws that thought game was racist and it’s absurd. The races are different species not like a black man vs an eskimo or something.
They also have been giga-PC-afying many aspects for awhile now such as where half orcs come from. It used to be pretty explicitly known and stated that half orcs were the result of rape and this was part of their backstory. The world of dnd was a pretty dark one in some ways, but now officially they’ve mostly retconned this kind of thing away to make the game less “controversial”.
The community is also much more “woke” in general with lots of retarded “sexy women bad” posts like this one:

I was relieved to see some “sane” comments in that thread like this one:

But really dnd has just gone down the drain in a lot of ways by going more mainstream and trying to cater to woke politics and women. There are obviously more examples than this, but I’d be writing a giant essay lol.
There’s also the arguable dumbing down of many mechanics in 5e to make the game simpler and more accessible — some of it I get but a lot of it just serves to give players a reduced amount of decision making seems to me.
Anyway, I just saw that stupid fucking Reddit post and it set me off to level with you — so sick of that shit. It pisses me off to see people bemoan the evils of gatekeeping when video games, tv, and even tabletop rpgs are changing in ways to cater to a totally different audience instead of the one that they already have.
Remember when video games could actually have hot sexy women in them? Even kids games like Jak and Daxter. Miss those times bros.
