Can we stop with the slippery slope stuff by the by?
Seriously. It's getting thrown around a lot and completely incorrectly so. This isn't "Piss gets removed" -> "Lack of piss makes farts the next grossest thing." -> "Farts get removed." -> "All things that are gross or offend anyone must be removed" -> "Game sterilized forever." That people are worried about.
It's "Piss is removed." -> "There's a good argument for removing things that overlap or share space with piss".
This is obviously undesirable for people who wish to keep it or things that occupy similar spaces.
One is a fallacious argument with tangentially related intermediaries.
One is direct cause and effect.
Edit: Mostly because it devalues actual conversation to just have 'slippery slope' getting thrown around. And actual conversation on whether piss should stay or not is fun and funny as heck.
