So, I have begun to wonder whether one of my PCs is problematic and should be gotten rid of. Basically, he's a half-elf with a long history of living rough in the sewers, yet this backstory doesn't seem to have negatively impacted him much (he even speaks fondly of those days), and I began to wonder, is this PC romanticising homelessness, and is this an issue that neads dealing with? On the other hand, said PC is married to another player's PC, and is reasonably well-liked I think, so removing him might change the dynamic of the rp thread he is on.

As a result of this questioning, I have decided to get the opinion of you, wise D&DBeyonders. Do you think this PC should be removed? Feel free to vote or comment

Please, keep him, he's a great character.

Thanks for your feedback :)

He must be kept! Meepo won’t have anyone to talk to.

I'd replace him with a new character, who he might get on with? The planned replacement would be a lost young cultist trying to get back to their cult

The question is, do you want to get rid of Flint? That's what it comes down to. It's completely normal to get tired of a character, and you have played Flint for a long time now. But if you still enjoy playing him, then you should keep him. Don't think you'd be letting any of us down if you wanted to get rid of him though.

I don't know- I enjoy playing Flint! But just because something is fun doesn't mean it's right

Well, put it this way- you're not making anyone unhappy by playing Flint. I don't think you should stress over a character, if someone complains, then do something about it then.

Everyone loves flint! He must be kept!

So far it's looking pretty good for Flint. If it stays this way, I might reinstate him as my pfp and restore 'The Sewer Dweller' to my sig

Please keep Flint (unless you’re really unhappy with him)

I never post this early in the morning, but I signed on as soon as I saw this just so I could make my feelings known. That’s how strongly I feel about Flint.

In response to your other point, no, I don’t think Flint is romanticizing homelessness. I do think that Flint is a homeless person (well, a person who was once homeless) who has become a hero to his friends and those around him.

Ok, thanks for your feedback! So far, I think Flint is gonna stay, unless a massive anti-Flint lobby materializes

Ya should keep him if hes fun to play.

 Couldn't have said it better myself

I think he's going to stay! Also thought of another reason he might be problematic though, but...

Ok! Thanks for the feedback! So far the 'Don't get rid of the PC' has more votes, so it looks like he will stay?

I think my cultist kid character might make an appearance, but tbh I think if I was to think too hard about it, then I could find a reason for them to have a poll. I mean, Cato is probably problematic, but I still play him? Do I need more polls? Or to stop overthinking?
