I can't see any reason why you guys would think it's a good idea to put such a controversial event into the game without polling it.
Especially because it has no reason to be in the game in this form. It's basically the same as if you'd put an event into the game where you can vote for some new King and after the event you get a trump wig or something like that. Both are incredibly political and incredibly polarising.
I'd have less problems with the event if it would fit into Runescape, instead of it being shoved in as is. You're basically trying to push a square peg into the circle hole.
For example, you could have made the event about a goblin which was born in the wrong body, namely that of an elf. A trans-goblin so to speak.
It could have happened because of a magical mishap or maybe one of the gods wanted to punish him.
Something like this would actually shine a light on what problems such a goblin might face without shoving virtue signalling down our throats.
Think like a gamer, not like a political activist, and you can avoid many issues with the community like: splitting the community, polarising it and even seeding hatred.
