@tachycardia if you read the opening line of the first post it does say “I just ran over an article that reported that D&D is going to be more inclusive in their campaign settings”.  The context was very much set from the outset so I don’t think discussion about the possibility of diversity and inclusion changes and having concerns about such a move is actually off topic.

Also if you read all three pages there’s plenty of stuff about the settings and d&d as well as the already inclusive nature of Forgotten Realms and other settings and the impact that aspect of the game has on those settings – I know this because I have written several long posts about the history and development of d&d over the last 25 years and why settings like forgotten Realms are the way they are.  It’s not, as you claim, 3 pages of off topic nonsense about SJWs or snowflakes – those terms have definitely been used but they’re certainly not the main topic of conversation.

As for the silent majority, well they are generally ambivalent about diversity and inclusion or political correctness.  Generally speaking the people who care about those subjects, either for or against, are actually quite small minorities towards either end of the spectrum.  Most people only care about those things when it affects them, much like anything else in life. It generally doesn’t stop them consuming entertainment media including games;  they will only stop if the product becomes something they don’t like and will generally do so without fuss or fanfare.  In short, you won’t ever really hear from the silent majority (clue’s in the name) but you might notice their absence from your bottom line.  Nobody is speaking for anyone except themselves, but I suspect, judging from your post, you aren’t really part of the silent majority.
