The year 60094. From out of space a runaway warp hurtles Tekumel into another dimension.
Unleashing cosmic destruction!
Man's civilization is cast in ruin. 32000 years later Tekumel is reborn.
A strange new world rises from the old. A world of savagery, super science and sorcery...

Except for the author quite specifically uses a baseline of cultures very different from the ones most of an English-speaking audience is familiar with. Even Glorantha, having some cultural basisi in The Illiad, The Oddessy, and the Sagas is more likely to tap into ideas the average player has encountered.
There are assumptions embedded that take some wrapping your head around.
Now, if you want to ignore them and apply YTMV, go for it. I know MAR Barker endorsed that idea heavily...he wanted people to engage to the degree they wanted to and have fun.

1: Your experience then is alot better than mine. Locally I have seen it creeping into the local players rhetoric and at least one of my local gaming group makes Deadman look reasonable. At least two artists I know have totally flipped out.

Here I'm seeing organized play more and more taken over by the "Trust and Safety" crowd, although the biggest organized group seems to have backed way off on requiring X-cards and safety tools and dialing down what counts as "harassment".
People playing on their own seem to be self-sorting.

If I may ask, where is 'here' for you?
I haven't seen any X-card bullshit of late at conventions (which is, oddly, the one place I could see them used without incident). But 'org play' in general might be different.

Greater Atlanta. The successor to the long-running RPG meetup, which collapse over "sexual harassment" complaints against one of the runners, was very pushy about X-cards from the start. One reason I have yet to attend.
