Why are Playable Races SO Controversial?

from Fireball the Gazebo · host Jon & Vince

There's a long history of roleplaying fantastical races in tabletop RPGs, but why are people so stuck in the mud on what 'should' be playable? Vince and Jon share their thoughts, and what we can do as players to bring those characters to life AND how DMs can build a setting that feels alive with the unique people that inhabit it.
