The fact that most of eastern europe is not in favor of queer folk.

Molotov College community · Created a new topic Minority

I red the manual and It looks great but I wanted to touch on the playbook minority thing. I am not abelist or racist or sexist or homophobic or whatever else but I think that demanding of a character to be of a minority is pointless at best or harmful at worst. This is because giving the character a token minority trait undercuts the value of a character being it. Im not saying that the opression or struggle from that should always be a central focus but for example shoving in being black into a character that has no need to even have a described ethnicity is just weak in a narrative sense by either being completly ignored if the player doesn't want to focus on it or forcing the player to unnaturally give another development to already existing one. Of course it can be a struggle of the character but it should fit in with the rest of the character rather than being forced in by the playbook. The harmfull part is when the players learn that they NEED to have minority character for roleplaying which is just not the case as telling a good story can be done with any character.
