"Remember when D&D art largely depicted humans? Supposedly the prominent default race? Those were the days"

Beholders are far cooler than puny humans.
Edited to add: Now I want to play a beholder in a campaign, floating around, blasting eye beams everywhere, being both insane AND chaotic good.
And then people realized that they were already LARPing as humans IRL, and a lot of them would switch it up by playing as elves, or dwarves, then somebody asked why goblins couldn't also be adventurers, then someone asked if mindflayers had to be evil, and now we have all sorts of furry and fantasy shit people are imagining themselves to be in their grown-up pretend-time. Sheer fucking madness, I tells ya!
I swear, the shit people complain about.

Yup. Very shitty and uncreative days, hated them too.

Are you talking about boobs? You’re one of those guys that paged through the monster manual and deities/demigods pictures looking for naked/half-naked women to beat off to, weren’t you?

Let’s see. Half-elf, gnome, elf, elf, HUMAN… who got turned into a unicorn, centaur, dwarf (613 things Skippy The Dwarf Can No Longer Do In The Dungeon), HUMAN… with four arms and the dexterity to juggle bobcats….
And Nitefange, a player-character sword that took over the wielder. He was human sometimes… Sort of.
You might have a point, there.
I would agree that some modern D&D art depicts a lot of races and look a bit odd. This is because they need to include some art of every playable race rather then some weird bias. Some of the modern versions of D&D have 20+ playable races included from many different campaigns, more then would normally be included in a single world.

Is the Nazi TTRPG the one where everyone wants to play as a Jew, because Jews can bribe you to just stand there and let you kill them … thereby getting their money back, and yours too, which lets them bribe even more people?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
