Part 2/8:
Tandro's comments suggest that those who hold on to old-school perspectives, often referred to as "grognards," should be ignored as they no longer represent the current player base. This has been particularly contentious as it seems to marginalize longtime players who grew up with the game, insinuating that their input and experiences are outdated or invalid in today's context.
Tandro's statements followed a curious interaction involving Elon Musk, who interjected his opinion on Twitter, garnering attention and further inflaming the situation. Musk espoused admiration for the original creators of D&D while criticizing Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast for their modern approach, claiming that they were effectively erasing the game's origins.
