When will /tg/ actually play games? And talk about playing games?

Never, but it doesn't need to because freakshitters are a small minority of /tg/.
Unfortunately they're cut from the most autistic of cloths woven from the threads of a spider diagnosed with aspergers. This makes them loud and incapable of admitting when they're wrong.

The part of /tg/ that does the former is too busy to do the latter.

But anon, D&D has always been about the freakshit. Early D&D games had people playing as vampires, dragons or even balrogs! You're playing the game wrong and you also probably have a small penis! Oh no!

Pretty much. It all started in reply to the over-saturation of groan inducing normie D&D OCs. Everybody wants to be a furry or a tiefling rogue. It quickly crossbred with the whole "I only ever play male human fighter" meme.

If I were to give a charitable interpretation of the freakshit-poster's main complaints, it is that some people are over-reliant on just playing 'something weird' to make their D&D characters interesting. This winds up being in part due to our modern culture which relies too much of profilicity and labels to try and define self. The people who do this don't actually know how to roleplay past a checklist of superficial surface-level character traits they assign to their character like populating a twitter bio, and so when it comes time to make the character interesting the only way they know how is to very those surface traits by making the character a 'freak'. Making them a furry race, giving them a mental illness, putting them in a wheel chair, etc. etc. etc. The complaint of freakshit is calling for a return to actual character roleplay, and the idea of returning to simplicity, setting the basic traits of the profile to default class, default race, default sex, so that you're forced to actually come up with something more to be compelling than a list of labels, is part of that.

Now if I were to be uncharitable I'd say it's all some shitposter who invented a funny work that annoys people and is now just trying to bait them into responding so he can engagement farm. Whatever real intent or complaint behind the label is gone, and truth be told I don't even know what fucking point OP is even trying to make.

i was just waiting for the Dolmenwood gazetteer so i could play it with my B/X books (plus OSE for reference/Cheeto fingers)

then THAT turned into freakshit, a fantasy heartbreaker, a franchise of 3+ books and spin-off products (cartoon next?).

you just have to accept the tiefling otherkins with anime powers, or you will never play games.
