How do folks feel about how race science and racist myths like Hyperborean Atlantis are part of the heritage of the fantasy genre (Conan) and attempts by modern game makers to distance character options from the word "race" or game mechanics surrounding this fantasy ancestry gets +2 to this minus whatever to that?

Elves have pointy ears, and white men can't jump. Big deal, whatever. Racial bonuses are a complete non-issue and the people who act performatively offended by them are tedious bores who are trying to mine social media clout from the gameroom.

I've also found myself musing on how to run Deadlands while being sensitive to how messed up the 19th century and manifest destiny were.

If you don't want to deal with Old West settlement, why play a game set in the Old West?
