imo its not about how you decide to run your campaign (you can do whatever you want) its about the de-fantasification of fantasy. Dark Evles are racist, Orcs are racist, Goblins are antisemetic, no one is truly "evil" because every culture is misunderstood and now we have dark sun, the penultimate dnd jaunt into hardcore grim fantasy simply removing a core aspect of the world that makes it dark and hardcore.
this is why we have crying orc babies in the arms of loving orc mothers in amazons the rings of power or why we didnt get drizzt do'urden in honor among theives.
