    D&D General Just sweeping dirty dishes under the rug: D&D, Sexism, and the '70s

    No. That's the satire going. The grimdark is still there. Not true at all. They replaced the cheesecake Juan Diaz deamonettes with plastic versions of the original, more alien daemonettes from the realm of chaos days.
