The main problem with this is that LoEG was always about exploring the baggage of characters. The parts that got left behind as they got cleaned up and sanitized. Like Allan Quartermain’s drug use or Nemo’s casual murderousness and racism. You can’t feature the Golliwog in a work like that and not mention racism or how uncomfortable it is talking to a living breathing blackface caricature. Even Dianey knew better than to use the Mandarin from the comics. That’s why he’s a more civilized Genghis Khan instead of Fu Manchu in Legend of the Ten Rings.
