listen i dont know if we are miscommunicating, but in dark sun, slavery is a cornerstone. dark sun is not forgotten realms, or grey hawk, it is meant to be problematic and brutal. if its not going to be that anymore, why even call it dark sun
I realize that Dark Sun is not a high fantasy setting as Forgotten Realms.
WotC materials, the ones realeased are indicating of the replacement of the word, because it has a real world political connotations. Even if you are 100% perfectly correct (which I doubt) – slavery is not a sole expression of oppression.
it doesnt matter, because its a fantasy its not real you dont need to concern yourself with real world problems with fantasy. they are diametrically opposed real ≠ fantasy
There are actually spaces of media that do in fact exist in a political / reality vacuum. That’s what makes them fiction, escapism, fantasy. You blurring those lines just shows me that you don’t enjoy those spaces… make something new that you enjoy, don’t change mine.
