types suddenly throwing around the word troglodyte left right and centre

Once again it’s all projection. The tertiary definition is “one who is purposefully ignorant or old-fashioned”. Fucking liberals.
Sidenote: this is a troglodyte in forgotten realms#
Cool af
They look cool but their defining trait is smelling so bad it literally harms you
Covid has done wonders for troglodyte integration into faerun society.

Yeah that's pretty bad ass tbh
While we're at RPGs, trog as the short form of troglodyte is a racist slur used against orks and trolls in the Shadowrun setting. In-universe, it's also n-word levels of offensive, particularly because orks and trolls are the main racialized other within the game world. So as somebody who's not a first language English speaker and has never seen any use of the term troglodyte outside of TTRPGs at all, it comes off super fucking weird (to say the least) when half of the redditors on here are suddenly using what i know mostly as the cyber-tolkien slur as their favorite insult.
