To be fair, female circumcision is far more horrific than male circumcision. It often involves cutting or burning off the clitoris and is explicitly a method of controling the sexuality of women.
That said, male circumcision is also bullshit and a violation of bodily autonomy.
Setting aside the table drama which is the main point of the post, can I just say I love the idea of using a gift economy in a ttrpg? That just sounds so interesting as a more complex incentive to do quests and favors than coin. I might steal that for my own game lol.
