Wizards Of The Coast Removes This Decade-Long Fun Tradition From Official Dungeons & Dragons Books

Dungeons & Dragons has mostly been in the news as of late for its woke content in recent months, but now Wizards of the Coast has revealed they’ve removed a fun, long-time easter egg joke from their new 2025 Monster Manual which will stop appearing in new volumes going forward.

With the new edition of the fantasy roleplaying game, Wizards of the Coast has already courted controversy with their changes to the game by adding a diversity, equity, and inclusion agenda on top of their core rulebooks. D&D players, as a result, have been watching their beloved roleplaying game of questing and fighting monsters turned into a political cudgel and social conditioning tool by the Hasbro corporation.

Before the new Monster Manual began being promoted, The 2024 Dungeon Master’s Guide infamously has incorporated BDSM fetish community practices in the game for safe spaces, having players make an X with their arms if they feel triggered by a situation and requiring a DM to stop the game and address the player in question.

The 2024 Player’s Handbook is filled with imagery of BIPOC and female characters at a margin of more than five to one for white male characters, about the direct opposite of the demographics who play the game.
