What's the point with that quite lackluster story in Endwalker?

I'm rather confused why people are of the opinion that because we are talking about fiction that words such as genocide and eugenics are off the table for use. Those things happened in history and stories are made that include those things as well. Do you get upset that people say racism exists in Baldur's Gate? If we're not supposed to label things as they are then maybe those things shouldn't happen in the story.

Because we live in an era where we have to censor words because people are sensitive towards "mean" sounding words because they have a supposed bad meaning in history. We didn't use the word genocide until after ww2 and the people didn't find out about eugenics experiments until long after ww2 as well so people automatically think of that dark period of history with those words.
