If I may say something here, the mental changes don't have to be a  bad thing. They certainly aren't supposed to be. While they can be interpreted badly (and granted aren't always consistent) they can be very helpful.

To follow up on Kuruni's example, let's take me as an example. I for one like the Troll but am put off by her large hands and feet. Which actually bothers me a bit since I want to fully like her. However, with the changes I can imagine myself to be able to enjoy them to the fullest as I would no longer be bothered by them.

I don't see them as doing something like forcing me to like becoming a literal mushroom person and permantly being assimilated by a friggin' Matango when I don't like anything about that to begin with and am perfectly fine with that.

I could give some other examples, but they woudl be a bit too personal.

See, we're allowed here to have our own interpretations to suit our own fantasies, which is a good and generous thing. For me it's also a bit difficult to reconcile any more obvious differences with the established canon (as loose as it may be), since I have a bit of OCD when it comes to keeping things as canon as possible, but since I do want to enjoy the setting, I put an effort into it and try to ignore the things that are off putting or pretend they won't ever happen to me. Or add some things that I would like the setting to have.
