I don't think they can.

That's a pretty reductive way of dismissing other people's objections to your idea, it's far more nuanced than that.

So where do we draw the line? Do we respect the source material or should players also be allowed to create 6ft tall Dwarves, Half-Orcs with wings or Gnomes with tails? These examples, while extreme, are also 'appearance options' that some might desire.
