Is that the fucker responsible?!

Oh, old D&D was pretty weird, and there have been writers saying some real weird shit. There’s disturbing and there’s that, something that’s not necessary if you have a decent amount of writing skill. Hell, they could have just not used “orgasmic” and just said “this is respected in drow society”.

The "mother finds this orgasmic" part doesn't add to how disturbing the _concept_ is though it just makes me feel weird about the writer
-
Yeah... a LOT of the Drow lore got amped up around the time Salvatore was writing about Drizzt. Some of it was like "the Tau are actually led by mind control" in that it was always there but mostly ignored. But most of the REAL fucked up "let's have an orgy with your siblings" stuff was very much done to make Drizzt cooler and... yeah... Its why anyone who insists "they ruined Forgotten Realms" and "We need to go back to the good old days" deserves some massive side eyeing,

The worst part about irrelevant lore tidbits like this is that you know some sweaty dweeb thought of it whilst masturbating.

I mean sure, but I don't think it's like, *bad* to be included either. Still serves to make them fucked up imo As in, Im reading it as the mother knows that's what is happening and derives intense pleasure from it that it becomes physical elationIt's not like the drow have any choice in the matter. And it doesn't make any sense that they would find that orgasmic. It's just a writer's bizarre fetishes.

Tiger sharks do that. It makes a certain amount of sense. Though it's odd that it's just that one kind of elf. It would fit better for a more monstrous race. But the thing about being orgasmic is just bizarre.

You have no idea of the quagmire you've wandered into. Chad-zak is a funny meme leave it at that. Don't Google it. Don't delve any further. There are things worse than balrogs down there.You know what? For once, I'm going to listen to this advice

Is that the fucker responsible?!Ed Greenwood, as pictured, wrote almost the entirety of the forgotten realms lore. They are an incredibly accomplished writer, and are responsible for a lot of iconic elements of modern D&D. Yes, some of his contributions are disturbing and fetishy, but that's a small minority compared to the vast number of things put out. Contrary to what others may be implying here, I feel that avoiding his work out of distaste will leave you much worse off than exploring it with the understanding that some stuff will get freaky, and that you have the ability to leave that at the door when it comes to your own table. If you're at all a fan of the forgotten realms, I would highly recommend checking out his YouTube channel which contains a treasure trove of creative D&D cannon not published everywhere else.

But the thing about being orgasmic is just bizarre.Drow are elves that got twisted specifically by Lloth into hypercompetitiveness among other things. It's cringe but it's strangely logical cringe. There's actually a lot of metaphysical logic behind the reason there's like a thousand kinds of elf and they're all separate races with notable physical differences unlike other groups that mostly settle with "these halflings are taller"
