That is true of ENWorld consensus.This may be the self-selection bias in the online community.We cannot say if it is fringe or just fringe in comparison to this community.There could be a large contingent of people who agree and either remain silent when engaging online or just stopped engaging with the wider online community because they no longer feel welcome or comfortable engaging.Our only gauge is personal experience and experience with our personal communities and networks. That is biased information.I do see a difference in my own gaming networks that differs greatly from much of the mainstream discussions on ENWorld. This happens, in part, because they just do not think about D&D the way we do or even notice the changes.A lot of folks will not even read species descriptions etc. They will just keep thinking of them in terms of the initial point of interaction.It could be that the opinions here are the minority ones.</blockquote>
