it's about whether that thing feels like it fits into the setting.
And the point I was making is that it doesn't matter what us, the consumer, feel like fits into the setting.
It's all about what WotC feel fits into their setting.
Since they control the IP, it's their decision as to what is fitting for the setting.
The nature of the setting is that it is ultimately controlled by a company that doesn't have a strict vision for what the setting is.
Meaning, whatever becomes canon is the canon, whether we consumers like it or not.
Thus, we have the argument that anything that does show up in canon, make sense. As it's not beholden to any standard that we have, it's only to meet the standards that WotC has. It only has to make sense to WotC and whomever wrote the story in the first place.
If an inclusion seems nonsensical, then the ultimate issue is the lack of awareness that WotC don't particularly care about retaining an exclusive "High Fantasy" setting for the IP.
