@Bedrockgames - that quote you provided actually dovetails pretty well with the whole subject vs object discussion. Note, the quote tells us that your character will be better in every measurable way. Stronger, more intelligent, more resiliant. The fact that your character is the product of generations of forced rape and murder of "defective" children is ignored. Which is what the Mul are.
Dark Sun isn't "about" eugenics. Eugenics is just the excuse for having higher powered characters - and note, since we're talking AD&D stats, having a 20 stat is godlike in nature. This isn't d20 D&D where a 20 Con is just a smidgeon better than an 18. A 20 constitution makes you virtually unkillable as you now have regeneration. Wahoo!
And, again, "censorious" voices? No. That's NEVER been the issue. Look, it's fairly simple. Do you agree with removing strength limits for female characters? That's just as "censorious". Before, people who complained were just flat out ignored and because the majority controlled every single channel for communication, the ignored voices were safely locked away.
What has changed is those people
who want to be in the hobby are now in a position where they aren't being ignored. See, that's the problem with comparisons to censorship. The whole Satanic Panic was a misinformation campaign to stop other people from playing the game. Now, this is people who are in the hobby directly telling you that these sorts of things are not a whole lot of fun. That getting a bust of Lovecraft for winning the World Fantasy Award. Yeah, that's not telling people that they're unwelcome at all.
You claim that the atmosphere has changed?
Good.
