Yeah like idk man, you must have some different book or didn’t read and have only played because I literally just searched through a pdf of strahd for every occurrence of vistani and what your saying just is literally false.

They don’t go from praising them one time to continuously showing stereotypes. There’s no raw about kidnapping or any of that nonsense you mentioned and the stealing is a random encounter table to throw filler at the players...in actuality after going through every occurrence of the word vistani in the majority of cases the vistani are minding their own business doing them so if the times they are bad step out to you, again maybe you should take care of your own mentality because it seems pretty racy.
