If you ditch the orgasm bit it’s kinda like sharks? Like it’d just be edgy instead of some weird vore-fetish thing
- if you ditch the orgasm bit it's kind of like sharks?
  
  This part, and this part alone, is my new guiding principal in life.
  
  Including the question mark.
  
  Yes friend, everyone knows the female orgasm is fake
- FYI it's only some sharks. There are a goodly amout of sharks that lay eggs.
- Oh, it gets worse.
  
  Don't look up what blessing Gruumsh's wife gave to the orcs.
  
  Tried looking that up but can't really find anything, what is the controversy there?
  
  Could not really find anything but that Luthic is a fertility goddess of sorts. Which seems rather normal.
Umm, what? Anything that has gestation similar to a human is probably incapable of this. Could you imagine these fucking alien beans duckin' and dodgin' in utero to slaughter each other with nubby hands and fingers? Lmao this is some Morrowind concept art shit
- More like The Binding of Isaac. Only game in which aborting yourself can result in a positive outcome.
  
  The ascension endings were rough in that game.
- "Aww, he's got his dad's knife" - never a phrase you want to hear in the delivery room.
  
  (I assume this is how drow genetics work)
  
  They are a matriarchy.
- I'm sorry, but this is mild compared to the insanity that is Kirkbride's Morrowind lore. Gods... how I wish Bethesda hired him for TES 6
- It's not unheard of for one (human) twin to absorb the other in the womb. It's more along the lines of a cellular mixup, though, rather than a battle. And of course the mother even being aware much less sensitive to it is nonsense.
- Alien beans?
My favourite bit on drow related lore is from 2E. Non-drow followers of Eilistraee would do black face and travel the world as part of an effort to show drow could be peaceful. There is something hilarious to me about how well intentioned the author seems to be but completely oblivious to what it looks like.
- Oh so Señor Chang in the D&D episode of Community.
  
  I mean, Chang is trying to be offensive, because he is a racist, this is very well established by the show and it's weird how few people understood that.
Folks could get away with so much edgy bulshit back then...
- Sad how hard it is now.
  
  Nah, it's good that it's hard. People who want to use with heavy themes, they gotta earn it.
  
  Maybe you should see a doctor about that, then.
Once I accepted that I am cringe, I was free to be my true self. I am cringe, but I am free.
That’s some amazing lore!

Did they remove it or something?
Never forget what they took from you
Me with WtA's Thrall of the Wyrm.
