My username references one of my favorite literary characters, the gentleman with the thistledown hair from Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell.
My avatar is a goblin with long, scraggly hair who looks upward timidly with voluminous eyes.

100% I care far more about relationships with NPCs than the overall plot. I favor role play over battle. The experience is more enjoyable if the GM honors the decisions and efforts of the players. Then everyone can discuss and laugh about the debacle afterward. I’m going to tell my GM how much I appreciate him now!
“Queen” by itself refers to either women or gay men. It is not gender neutral. “Drama queen” is applied to all genders, but, again, this example is pejorative toward women. Do you have any examples of women-centric language that can refer to all genders, but that is not negative toward women?
