Im not surprised the most picked sin is lustful, really not.

Wonder what the most picked virtue will be. And because we have over 100 votes i might change the poll to the virtue one tomorrow instead of Sunday.

I am, but maybe I understood the question differently to most people. I saw it as "which sin(s) do you have that actually cause you trouble/would you be better off without?" So I picked slothful and envious. I figured that very few people actually have problems as a result of being too lustful.

Since this new system works on a per-species basis for slavery and purging, does that mean it replaces the ability to selectively purge/enslave individual pops, or is it in addition to that?
Correct, you no longer do it on a per pop basis.

Oh thank god the genocidal micro-managing is over.

Neutering: The species is prevented from reproducing through chemical castration or biological modification, eventually dying off naturally. Neutered Pops continue to function normally and may even be given a high standard of life, but have a large penalty to their happiness. The speed at which they die off varies based on the species' natural lifespan, but is typically very slow.

....wow we got creative with our evil cruelty huh?

"Large penalty to their happiness."

Can't imagine why.

Incidentally, it's too bad they couldn't subtlety do the castration, like poison the water or something. Though I suppose they might eventually realize why their species is totally sterile all of a sudden. Couldn't be their friendly new overlords.
