[QUOTE="TheSword, post: 8254938, member: 6879661"] That comment is really beneath you. It’s really distasteful to go for the player rather than the ball. You’re choosing to do a deep dive into the origin of the Mul presumably because the sex slavery element is the bit you found interesting. The majority of people I’m sure just wanted to play a rock hard, half dwarf gladiator like Rikus, and didn’t give the messy birth a second thought. The author referenced the main Mul characters origin in the book as a tragedy in a very minor way and then went on to be a rounded character. Ignore the fact that the second Mul character (the only other major one) was the product of a loving relationship between two gladiators presumably escaped your notice. The authors made the story they wanted to make. It sounds like can only obsess about the worst possible outcome and focus on that. You’ve chosen to keep repeating Sex Slavery because I guess you feel it makes a sufficiently powerful statement. Trust me, it does nothing to convince people that don’t already agree with you of anything. The idea of the eugenics attempts of scientists/sorcerers is nothing new. It plays into the idea of the sorcerer kings as evil, genocidal, maniacs toying with the life they consider beneath them. The writers wanted evil antagonists. We know forcing people to have sex is also evil. I find it fascinating that you choose Sex Slavery as the thing to care about, rather than the fact that each sorcerer king perpetrated a hollocaust - successfully in several cases - against entire races. The Sorcerer kings are Menglar, von Braun, and Goebbles wrapped up into one leader, replicated across a half dozen city states. But sure. Focus on the bit you find interesting and take it out of context. Then compare people who like the rest of the Dark Sun setting to another set of people who you’ve also taken out of context. [/QUOTE]
