Taric Rework - has Riot/League become too scared/PG?

I dunno looking at the new Taric vs the old Taric....they talk about how "fabulous" he is but I feel like they definitely toned it down. Whereas before there may have been some kind of a hint as to his sexuality, the new Taric is far less "fabulous" and I feel a bit less campy.

Riot being a company and game that I believe promotes diversity (featuring gay couples and people in their videos) seems a bit at odds with this new Taric who basically has removed any and all hint of campyness or perhaps even a twinkle of possible alternate sexuality.

Generally I feel as far as Riot's artwork, games, and characters go, they are becoming more and more afraid to take any kind of risk no matter how small it may be. I don't know if they are becoming more successful and thus more corporate, or if it is a change in leadership or what...

But I feel like their caution and their constant erring on the side of caution has become borderline lame. Like, in the age of M and NC17 rated PC games and all the crazy stuff you see in console games now, why must Riot be so scared to step on any kind of fingers or toes? To me it feels like they have been thematically castrated, and completely unneccessarily.
