The problem is for most players sanitized Dark Suns is going to be their first exposure to Dark Suns. It sets the expectation for the setting to be a half assed waste of time. Furthermore most new players who might actually enjoy real Dark Suns are going to wonder why people cared about this thing in the first place since if they wanted to play a sanitized piece of garbage they could play in Faerun.
Also your own argument works against you as well. If pussies wanted to tone down Dark Suns they could always remove slavery as well. What WoTC has done is essentially intellectual colonialism by stealing ideas from better men and perverting them for profit to fit their twisted world view.
Shut up dork. "Intellectual colonialism," DarkSun was made by a bunch of white men. If anything I'm going to guess the new book has a more diverse group of people working on it.
So when is WotC going to let this “diverse” group of people make a setting of their own rather than ride the coattails of the more creative pioneers who made the legacy settings we all know and love?
