I very specifically stated that subjects like slavery or sexualized violence should be left to individual tables. I very specifically stated that WotC should not be using it in their adventures because dealing with it, given the actual historical context in which we live, needs nuance that does not lend itself to an all-ages product. Nor to a game that typically approaches topics with the nuance of a sledgehammer to the head. There are plenty of IRL topics that are best avoided by WotC. If someone wants to make a niche adventure that is all about them, that’s great. But, for example, Lanefan suggested that “slaver” could be an acceptable background for a player character. I think it goes without saying why that should be a choice made at individual tables and not promoted by WotC.</blockquote>
