I have enjoyed watching the collective whinging of gamers as various game companies have made efforts to take their small stabs at the systemic part of systemic racism by updating rulesets and clarifying positions.
There’s always been this weird category of gamers who feel that the only way to play an RPG is exactly as written with no deviation whatsoever (including the publishing of new editions) and, following that logic, any changes that they don’t like become a personal attack. They are the Karens of the gaming world.
Anyway, removing the whole “most sentient races are irredeemably evil except for the occasional ‘good one’ like Drizzt” is a good move. They already got rid of “all half-orcs are the product of rape-by-conquest” and I’m sure there was plenty of indignant outrage over that.
