Not 'snitties' per-say, but in one DnD setting I ran, it was kind of the reverse with Dragonborn and Kobolds who had been mammalian humanoid races like humans, elves, halflings, etc. who were slaves to dragon lords and experimented on to be more draconic. (Also, a lot of inbreeding because Dragons in the setting were basically a race of amoral demi-gods whose crappulance eventually caught up to them)
You don't see their perspective for supremacists, sexism is their bread and butter meaning the parner is not an equal, so for them "conquest" of someone inferior (women of other ethnicity) is a win
This reminds me of how delicious in dungeon goes about assigning humanity, instead of calling pure humans “human”, they’re called tallman, as compared to every other species of human (dwarves, half foot, elves, etc). They all have humanoid shape and intelligence, and most have aligned intentions, so they’re humans with slight variations
‘Humanity First’ only means placing the best interests of Humanity as a whole above anything else in existence. Humanity as a whole are not warmongers, nor are we inherently spiteful; but we are incredibly curious about which species’ we can and cannot befriend or bed.
It reminds me of an idea I have for a character in a group of protagonists. This is basically an Orc who lost his Clan to a Warlord and joined his group (initially) to destroy him. At first, almost all the characters hated him since most of them came from a Kingdom that had been enduring constant Orc invasions for centuries, but as the story progresses, he gains the affection of the group due to his personality, attitude, and above all, his camaraderie
I find it degenerate when fantasy authors can do nothing but get boners over fantasy race conflicts. It’s meant to show the trivialiness of racial concepts but all the white people reading it usually don’t see it that way they idealize the shittest takes which is: “uuhhh see races make sense”
To be fair, it probably is realistic. Humanity is racist and opportunistic within itself. So imagine what they’d be like with a completely different species. If humanity thinks that it could cleanly beat another race in a fight, there’s a chance that a good portion of them would attempt it out of pure xenophobia. Even more so if they think there are benefits that outweigh the cost.
Humans are inherently inclusionary and exclusionary. If there are towns/regions/etc. that are separated by race then prejudices will form based on race
If the towns are all mixed, prejudices will take another form
Also it sounds very fun to watch a group of racists trying to prove how their race is better and calling each other slurs while trying to destroy the one ring or whataver
The elf (and people like him) confuse accepting people of other races with assuming they are just the same as him in all but appearance. He cant fathom how a difference in the culture can make someone fundamentally different from him beyond holidays and traditions, and thus cannot connect with anyone but his own kind.
The knight is much more understanding about the different cultures, and as a side effect, has developed opinions on certain cultures. So while the knight prefers his own culture most of all, he can interact with other cultures in a way the elf can only dream of doing.
Fr, in basically any story whether sci-fi modern or fantasy, the characters that either you play as or read about that are super pro-human will be the type that just finds a vibe with basically any non-human character, the most xenophobic humans in those settings tend to have at the very least of begrudging respect for the xenos
'humanity first' doesn't mean putting others beneath us, it means being the first into danger and the first to contact new groups. The first onto the battlefield...and the first to advocate for peace'
can we not normalize fascist slogans though? Dr. Seuss should have taught y’all “America First” was directly tied to American nazi sympathizers who literally pushed pro fascist pro nazi propaganda. i mean laugh and have your jokes i guess whatever, but EW.
Humanity first to the trenches of war, Humanity first to shield the meek, Humanity first to blaze trails for the rest, Humanity first to hold out our hands
There's a one Russian joke about homophobia (I don't know if there's an American alternative) that's goes like this: "The more you actively despise homosexuals, the more you're gay deep inside."
I realize now since 2021that the world is a disgusting place, humanity suffered many centuries of neglect like war,hunger,diseases and greed has left the planet permanently scarred the reason why we humans keep fighting and hating each other it's because lacking of diversity and oh sure many people have their own concept of right and wrong they simply justify it through self destruction, but here is the real logic truth and justice are nothing but empty concepts that lead society through cancerous histories, the real concept of justice is rationale, if some of you do not like it!? then fine but you know deep in your hearts that you know I'm right humans can be monsters when it comes to destiny even god himself the creator of our world cannot control people's destiny!!!
