No, Dungeons and Dragons is Not "Woke"

Dungeons and Dragons and WOTC/Hasbro are not “woke”. I believe applying the word woke to any billion dollar company like to Hasbro is done to appeal to a right wing basis while ignoring what is harming creatives in the TTRPG and DnD space. So in this annual video essay, I discuss why DnD is not “woke” and how all of this is the result of endless culture wars, grifters, and companies who want to make a profit at the cost of the marginalized.
