D&D becoming more popular has led to a LOT of really honestly awful jokes that fundamentally misrepresent and misunderstand the game but I don't think there is a worse one than "bard horny"

I have a sneaking suspicion this can be traced back to Critical Role in some way but I have no way to prove this because I refuse to have anything to do with Critical Role

@witchfynder_finder I have a theory that the horny bad traces back to a combination of mediocre game design AND bad DM-ing. High-CHA characters are rewarded for solving all of their problems with CHA, and a DM who doesn't know how to say no is going to just roll with that

Basically, horny bard comes from bards who THINK they can seduce dragons, combined from DMs who don't realize they can STOP bards from seducing dragons.

@witchfynder_finder I typo'd bard as bad but honestly "D&D horny bad" is still a perfectly reasonable statement that I stand behind

@RowanBerry Yeah I definitely do see the throughline but, like. It just shows up EVERYWHERE anymore to the point where I've seen people riffing on it like it's a trope of the game itself and not a mark of bad play
