>What are some non-fetish explanations for inter-race marriages in a fantasy setting?
Love?
>>47836114
Love and intimacy? Compatible lifestyles?
Just because you don't like the idea doesn't mean everyone agrees. There might be some dwarves out there with forest elf fever, or maybe some orcish humanboos.
One alternative explanation would be that such marriages are done for political purposes. Perhaps an elvish merchant has to marry the daughter of a human baron so his caravan can trade with the barony, or the sone of a dwarf Lord marries the daughter of a halfling Lord to cement an alliance against the orcs.
>>47836114
Love? Money? Peace? Happiness? Tradition? Conquest/Submission?
>>47836209
>orcish humanboos.
Literally the funnest PC/NPC to roleplay as.
Prove me wrong.
protip: You can't.
>>47836249
I've had more fun as a Dwarfish Orcaboo.
Though really that more of an excuse to go full Slayer in a game where Dwarfs were boring Jewish miner/craftmen who only fought with crossbows, and had no metal in their hearts.
>>47836249
Yes, I can't. Because fun is subjective.

funny you'd ask, just had my half-dragon character marry a drider yesterday lol. i'd say love, money, political shit, things like that. you can come up with plenty of reasons why it would happen.
the thing i'm curious about is can all races mix properly and produce kids or not.
>>47836356

>>47836451
yeah, just looked over it as well but i don't see shit about drow, much less driders anywhere in the book.
wonder if there's an expanded list floating around out there?
>>47836114
Lots of sex.
>>47836487
For this you can pretty safely treat drow as elves. Driders are tricky though, they were originally drow so they could keep that list or maybe treat them like centaurs?
>>47836484
Sounds disgusting.
>>47836487
It's a terrible list, presumably made by a xenophilic dragon who wanted to convince other races that long term relationships between dragons and other races was totally doable.

Political peace and stability via arranged marriage that eventually leads to .
The short little dwarven merchant soon wins his elven wife's affection by showering her with a metric fuckton of gifts and displaying himself to be a hardworking and caring husband
The Orc princess enjoys the clever quips, scrappy nature, and convenient stature of the Halfling duke as he portrays his people in a stubborn warrior way she's never considered them before
The Drow matriarch likes the way her Illithid steward's tentacle's tickle her when they kiss or make love and how he rips the brains from the skulls of her enemies to reveal insidious plots against her life.

goddamn nigga, that's the cutest shit i've ever read on this hellhole of a website.
>>47836114
depends on the setting.
If your theme is light-hearted, then love is a good enough reason for people of different species to be in a relationship.
If your theme is grim-derp then it could be a force marriage, out of greed or fear or what have you.

Love
Political Advantage.
>>47838632
Being at crotch height is pretty convenient for a lover.
>>47836114
As many said before, love. You're talking about marriage here, not some fuck friends.
If you had been adventuring years with someone, been through literal hell and back, I could see that elf wizard falling in love with the dwarf warrior and finishing their days opening a roadside inn or living on a farmstead somewhere.
>>47837569
>>47838528
And she actually ends up marrying you if you let her follow tou through the last dungeon of the dlc. Regardless of your race, gender, or actual opinion on the matter.
>>47839227
>You're talking about marriage here, not some fuck friends.
Romantic marriages are a product of... well, the romanticist movement. Prior to that marriages were generally affairs of mutual interest and ways to make inheritance convenient. Even today many cultures almost exclusively practice arranged marriages.
Marriages based on love are an extremely recent and almost entirely Western product, not the historical standard. No wonder these emotivist constructs fail about half of the time.
>>47836114
Political reasons maybe:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susa_weddings
Alexander the Great let Persians and Macedonians marry to unite the people, why shouldn't happen the same in a setting?
>>47836114
>what are some non-fetish explanations for these feelings I hear about?
>>47841548
Feelings of attachment, affection, lust, etc. outside of arranged marriages are an old thing anon. You just didn't get married for that sort of shit. Marriage is for trading womenfolk over time for strengthened ties, promises, leverage, etc. and to make sure you don't have to fuck your sister to have kids.
>>47836114
I don't really see why standard fantasy races would be all that sexually incompatible with one another to be honest, most of them are basically humans but with one thing changed anyway, so I can't really see any reason why there wouldn't be tons of humans attracted to elves and vice versa. Even orcs could be somewhat attractive to non-orc women for their muscular bodies and masculine attitude alone, though their faces, behaviour and general repulsiveness would probably mostly cancel it out.
I'm sure there'd be plenty of other reasons interracial relationships wouldn't really be common or well-regarded though.

What are some non-fetish explanations for inter-race marriages in a modern setting?
Sorry mang, not everything is magical realm.
In a setting with races that live regular years and races that live for hundreds of years there are probably cases of grooming like that of the german/fit/bro and his loli sexslave in-training.
Replace the little girl for a human young woman, replace the german/fit/bro for a husky elf and suddenly it's acceptable and not totally wrong.

>>47836301
>in a game where Dwarfs were boring Jewish miner/craftmen who only fought with crossbows, and had no metal in their hearts.
I never want to play in this setting. What is it?
If you think about it, most of the races in fantasy are just that: races.
Sure, elves live more than a thousand years in some settings, but the very fact that they can produce viable offspring with humans proves that they are essentially the same species. They're clearly some kind of Homo. Homo serenus?
With that in mind, inter-race marriages in fantasy settings would happen for similar reasons to inter-race marriages in reality.
>>47844373

As long as you've got that covered, fuck and marry whoever or whatever you want.WhiteMan/BlackGirl couples seem to be better at that
>>47845603
Now explain white woman/black guy couplesIts just the BBC isn't it?
The way that this subject was handled in Star Trek always interested me. Attraction between species seemed to be pretty common (or at least never implied to be taboo or unusual), but you just didn't see a ton of halfbreeds. Even the haughtier races like Cardassians didn't seem to have any compunctions over interspecies sex.
>>47844766
You don't even need the ability to crossbreed. I gay couples make it work, you just get someone else to happen.
It's how I made it work in the setting I was working on that has transitioned from a game into a novel. Couple would get a stire to get the women pregnant. Afterward the stire would be somewhat of an uncle (rare, outside of one of the three races that praticed this), or act like it never happened (more common, and why traveling merchants a common choice for stires).
I had to work out the sexual norms for the setting pretty thoroughly, because one of the main characters was an elvish prostitute. And like all elves, insane by most human measures.
>>47848916
Black cocks are generally about the same size as white cocks. For many woman it's just the exotic factor.
As a chocolate lover myself, I can't blame them for it.
>>47848916
It's just white women that never grow out of the adolecent mindset of rebelling against their parents and black men that see white women as a trophy to steal away from whitey to make him pay for slavery or whatever.
Immature people getting together for immature reasons results in shitty relationships.
>itt
>>47849828
I think a portion of this thread is talking about how much they want to fuck black women, which /pol/ would never openly admit.

>>47848916
BBC is just a weirdo american made-up fetish thing.
Americans have a crazy creepy race/sex obsession. Probably due to cultural baggage with slavery. I don't get that baggage either. Plenty of other nations had slavery or other issues that aren't nearly as defining as it is for America.
>>47849954
in most of those countries they didn't fight a civil war over it where brothers killed brothers
to say nothing of the general fuckery happening during reconstruction
>>47849954
America is definitely weird about it. The slave-owning culture was definitely of a different stripe. And the American Civil War kind of had a hand in that as well.
>>47849969
I sometimes wonder what modern America would be like if we hadn't fucked up reconstruction so hard.
>>47850007
I would suspect Lincoln would have needed to not have been assassinated for that. He was kind of keeping shit together and had everything on track, but with him out of the way his wet noodle of a Vice President let corruption run rampant and fucked up Reconstruction.
Could have helped heal the divide that grew out of it. Lincoln's who purpose for war and reconstruction was to unite the country again as a unified whole, and fucking up the healing process is not good for that. It's the reason why Civil War casualties are counted as a single statistic when it comes to American casualties; the union was preserved and to recognize the dead of the Confederacy as a separate statistic would give legitimacy to the Confederacy as a sovereign nation.
>>47844480
GM's custom setting.
Needless to say he was pretty pissed I hated his Dwarfs.
Then when my character died, and I played and Elf, he hated that I didn't want to play a hippie tree-lover, and instead wanted to play an Apex Predator Druid.
>>47849954
America's strictly racial based slavery was a somewhat unique development.
While other nations enslaved foreigners, America was the only one where they developed an ethos that only one race was enslaved, and (to a slightly lesser extent) that race was only to exist as slaves.
Because it was so strictly defined, it had a more defining nature.
>>47844373
>It's the fancy name black women that crave white dick came up for themselves.
It sounds a lot more pleasant than coal burners and oil drillers, that's for sure.
One of my players plays a half orc, so we decided that he's originally from some barbarian steppe where tribes of orcs and humans lived and often traded and commingled.
>>47850121
as it was, the divide didn't really get healed until the assassination of President Garfield.
It's somewhat of a shame that his death accomplished more than his life possible could. Not that he was a bad president, by all accounts he was an honest and intelligent man. But it was the public and shared act of morning a president who was almost universally liked, and was killed not because of the existing political divide, but the actions of a madman (and the corruption of the spoils system, and shitty medical practices that refused to update).
That and his VP had a massive character turn around after Garfield's death. Those two are often forgotten but deeply fascinating presidents in terms of their history and character.
>>47850232
I'm in a game where half-orc are well respected at least among the common folk, and interbreeding is common to the point that full orcs haven't existed in years.
I'm playing a half orc in the game and coming up with family stories has been grand.
It's also a setting where high elves are basically silly university types, with the military being basically frat bros. While wood elves are operators operating operationally.
>>47849078
If you're on a starship doing trading or exploring, you're probably inclined to meet, or at the very least tolerate, other species and cultures. This seems to go double for the Enlightened Humans of TNG Starfleet, who are most of whom we see deal with this stuff. Combine this with the fact that humanoids in general share enough DNA that the sex bits are all in the right places, and seem to have generally similar sexual standards of attraction, combined with the sexual liberation that Roddenberry pushed so hard, means that Our Heroes would regularly find themselves hooking up with other species.
However, there are a few things that would preclude a massive amount of half-breed kiddos. First, it seems that, while different species might be sexually compatible on a basic level, they don't generally seem to be reproductively compatible. As far as what has been mentioned on-screen, we know that Klingon/Trill presents difficulties, and that Human/Vulcan won't just happen on its own. (Romulans seem to make rape babby fine with Klinks and Humans at least, though; although that might be medically helped as a further insult/psychological attack on the prisoners.) However, the bigger issues are probably cultural: Starfleet, despite Gene's insistence, is military, and especially in a utopian military like Starfleet, it would seriously be frowned upon to just leave little bastards behind at every port. It seems that, at least for sexually-active humans in Starfleet, regular contraceptives are the norm. So, it's unlikely that someone would have kids unless they were planning on it (unless they forgot, like Sisko).
Also, love and lust are easy, while marriage is hard. It's hard when there are general cultural agreements on what a marriage entails; it gets pretty crazy when the expectations are not completely shared. Now imagine what it would be like if cultures were completely different. How many times has Lwaxana been married, or about to be married?

You realize this shit happened in real life though, right? Most humans carry genes from extinct hominids that interbred with our ancestors.
In a medievalish setting, it's important to note that your nobility might have a lot of marriages for power, stewardships, that sort of thing. Local nobility are often unrelated by blood to local commoners, have more in common (both in family ties and culturally) with neighboring elites, and so on. Not only are they great candidates for your half breeders, but it shouldn't be beyond the pale to have a dwarf-run stronghold peopled mostly by humans.
>>47841548
Attraction wasn't a non-factor in sex. Especially when mistresses and concubinage were an option.
Also there are avuncular systems, where sex is based primarily on attraction/prestige (albeit with less pair bonding) and kids are raised by sibling groups instead of bonded mates. Also systems that incorporate some mix of pair bonding and avuncular child rearing.
Is love not a thing?

A Gesture of goodwill/unity between separate races.
It's pretty much how my half-elf investigator's character has a family. Father was a merchant who enjoyed exploring, so one day he came across a community of knife-ears. He decides to ingratiate himself to them, educate them, and civilize them. While the elves appreciate his generosity, they decide to not totally integrate with human society due to certain prejudices. In order to help with that, he decides to marry a random elf woman.
Some years later, they have a daughter. Spends her formative years among her mother's family, doing nature shit and other elfy things. At the age of like 6, she moves over and learns about her dad's business. Gets tutored in more practical things like literature and math.
By 10, she has to make a choice on who she wants to live with and decides to learn business with dad.

A Wizard, after years of research, concluded that the simplest path to peace between the races was interbreeding. He developed a "detect soulmate" spell that simply pointed out a member of the opposite gender and another race, then spread it amongst the matchmakers of the city. The spell is simple to learn, so it soon became ubiquitous. Although it has no real ability to detect a soulmate, people seem to find the idea compelling enough to form stable relationships based on it

Maybe I've just seen one too many "How do I avoid magical realm" and "How do I avoid being that guy" topics but it's getting really frustrating how many fa/tg/uys apparently need validation that whatever they are doing is acceptably non-meme. I hope (but would no doubt be gravely disappointed) that no actual players spend this much time fretting over the reactions of their fellow gamers.

Sure, white women's buttocks doesn't stick out as far typically, but they are scientifically proven to have wider hips.

The south, had it won, would have fallen apart. The confederacy government was way more controlling and eager to stomp over state's rights than the union fed, despite the rhetoric. And this would have pissed off the powerful families of the South and caused major schisms.
It was always doomed.
>>47850827
Slavery would have been abolished within 10-15 years after they'd won. Remember that the war was never about slavery. Both sides knew how costly it was, and the South already had plans to get rid of it once their economy could stabilise and not need foreign trade, as the British and other countries were already planning on getting cotton and other things from other places.

How did you even find this? Your article measures hip axis length, which isn't a deciding factor in hip size.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2701735/
More recent, more in depth article debunks yours by showing no ethnic differences in hip axis length, but states hip girth is greater in black women than non hispanic white women.
>>47836114
Staying on topic here, the Asari from Mass Effect have the quality of being able to reproduce with any sapient race, and by incorporating that species' genetic diversity into their own, they become stronger for it. Or at least that's what they believe. In a fantasy setting, there are plenty of racial mixes that have objectively good results; Half-Dragons and Aasimar for example are both reasonably more capable than humans, CR modifier notwithstanding. Plus, Dragons and other long-lived creatures can reproduce very infrequently generally speaking, so creating half-breeds with humans gets you children much faster at the cost of them also generally having a far reduced maximum lifespan.
Speaking about the subject more generally here, you should also keep in mind that anything and everything can be fetishized. You can't design a setting or campaign that's fetish-proof, but you CAN design it without inserting your fetishes. For example, I have a gender bending fetish, and occasionally characters in my settings or campaigns are trans or androgynous, but I prioritize their non-sexual characteristics first and only include their sexuality as a matter of detail, in case my players ever decide to pursue a romance with them.
Basically, don't make it intentionally fetish-bait unless you're specifically looking to run that kind of campaign.

Well for a black girl to date a white guy is very much like living out a porn movie except it doesn't end when he cums on her face, she gets cleaned up and life goes on.
She can stay in the nice house they have in the good part of town, safe in the knowledge that her hubby has a stable job, he'll help with the children and he won't go to prison out of the blue. She can also look forward to bragging to her friends about how her kids have lighter skin, better behaved, and are bound to me more successful that those of her friends.t. proudly engaged swirler

Cringe/10 have you never even heard a Southerner?

In that study, you had 157 non-Hispanic whites compared against 292 African Americans, while in my study you had equal amounts of whites and blacks compared.
My study still has not been debunked.
>>47857007
So there's no difference in hip axis length?
You stated white women have wider hips because their hip axis length is longer.
>>47857215
Debunked wasn't the right word to be honest.
Your article is still a paragraph long, is there more to it? How was the measurements taken? Where did they get the volunteers from?
>>47857577
Not sure, but from what the text says, it was more in line with actually making a direct comparison of race, seeing as they pair-matched them based on closeness in height, age, and weight.
In your article it stated that the non-Hispanic whites were significantly younger than the minority participants, and if given that they could also varied wildly in relative heights and weights, accounting for wildly drastic, but also inaccurate comparisons.
The measurements may have been more precise and their aims more focused, but their methodology was lacking.

>implying I'm not one and am just hamming it up
how the fuck has this not went full /pol/ by now? Has /tg/ somehow stoped beaing so easy to bait
>>47836114
the characters are legitimately attracted to each other and enjoy each others' company?
Seriously why is this so hard.
Half orcs don't get this though. We all know where half orcs come from.

Vomit inducing fetishes.
>>47859617
one of the only good traits in /pol/ types is that they're gigantic cowards
without a clear consensus in their favor they just shit and run, and since about half of /pol/ is full-on omar mateen as far as "how dare those gross degenerate monsters make me desperately want to fuck them" goes, well
they aren't so good at keeping it together when the topic of hot dickings comes up
>>47860010
soooo to protect ourselfs from /pol/ ever thred has to have hot fantasy race dickings in it? I can and cant live with that
>>47856904
This is a "Grass is always greener" thing, I believe. People always wanna go for the exotic shit.

I would normally brush this off as an elaborate fanfic but I've seen it happen several times, a couple of times personally, to know it's 100% true
>>47857168
You should be ashamed of yourself

Royal families marry their children to each other all the time to strengthen political bonds all the time. why would it be different in a fantasy setting? unless they were all at war with each other or because of Tolkien.
>>47836135
too cliche
>>47836451
>giant × sprite = maybe
Sounds about right.
>>47836114
Without reading the whole thread to see if anyone has already said this...
Mythology is chock full of humans falling in love with / having children with / being seduced by faerie creatures, nymphs, satyrs, centaurs and what not. The goddess Freya was said to have slept with a group of dwarves to get her magical necklace (no, not a pearl one).
Let's not forget Tolkien and his human/elf pairings

I'll have to ask my parents, but signs point to yes.
A cosmopolitan trading city with large populations of all races
>>47869838
Any border towns or places of trade where races are interacting are going to quietly fill up with inter-racial couples.

Ask /pol/.
They have answers. Not good ones but answers.

That's just sad. Maybe you should try for a Darwin Award.

Used to know a chick who was into fatalpulse and uziga and shit like that. At one point she was dating this black guy, told people right in front of him it was only for his BBC. All he seemed to want was a cute, fun girl to date and he wound up sticking it in the crazy. His were the eyes of a broken man.

Aren't driders explicitly sterile?
>>47844810
I long for the day when people all over the world will put aside their differences and come together for one great, apocalyptic orgy.Heh, 'come together'
>>47871443
Unlike other fleshwarps, who tend to be sterile or lack the organs or ability to procreate, driders are a race unto themselves and are capable of procreation.
>>47871492
According to what? I have very strong memories of Forgotten Realms source material pointedly saying that Driders are sterile.
>>47836114
>Getting married for reasons other than fetishes
That's fucked up senpai.
>>47871532
DnD sterile, PF has no rights to Lolth though and made them general demon worshipers. Driders are created via Fleshwarping, a process to mutate and/or fuse creatures into monsters. So at least in their setting, driders are capable of sex and kids.

>Just because you don't like the idea doesn't mean everyone agrees.
Indeed. One person's fetish is someone else's regular day at the office.
I've encountered both at the RPG table. Half elves used to be (1e) the best of a bad lot of horse fuckery foisted by Gygax in the name of balance. They were the non-fetish choice.
Then there was the guy who handed me a four page tale of rape and slavery to back up his half dragon in 3.5.

I give, why would the NAZI party replace the stars of the flag, representing the states, but keep the stripes, representing the NON-GERMAN founding colonies of America that decided they didn't like Britain anymore?
Wouldn't keeping the stars be more important?
Or even completely changing the flag rather then keeping a reminder around that America was once a self governing nation?
>>47873835
They have to establish a connection between America and Nazis, so that necessitates merging the flags to create a chimera flag with both recognizable elements of symbology easily present.
Art has to make sense for interpretation in a visual medium like a picture. IRL, it would absolutely be much different, but in a poster you have to make that connection between the two and if it's changed too much than you'd be looking at it wondering what the fuck is supposed to be happening and where is this rather than criticising the poor logical decisions that led to it in the first place.
