Elves being magical creature, I am always puzzled that some setting try to give them human like gender and sexuality. I actually find-it more interesting that they do these things totally differently than us mundane human

@copacetic The postscript of the article: “This blog post isn't really game content. This blog post is more like speculative fiction minus the fiction. It came from the idea of "Can you have a misogynist patriarchy where everyone is trans?"

It’s also of note that Elves in Goblin Punch’s setting are technically human, albeit ludicrously twisted/modded survivors of a technological singularity event referenced as ‘The Time of Fire & Madness’. They are very far from typical fantasy elven tropes.
