„Das Prinzip der Gewaltenteilung beruht aber darauf, dass die Gewalten gegenseitig ihre Autorität anerkennen, die Exekutive die Urteile von Gerichten durchsetzt und sich daran hält. Wenn das nicht mehr gewährleistet ist, gibt es keine Gewaltenteilung mehr. So etwas nennt man dann Verfassungskrise.“

For the life of me, I'll never understand how some folks don't see that making an entire species of sentient humanoids all evil is a BAD IDEA. If you incorporate *any* feature or trait that is tied to a real life race onto an evil race - it looks like you're tying the two together. #TTRPG
