As I sit here writing
The more I delve into certain “good” (by D&D alignment chart) countries in the Forgotten Realms, the more I come across systemic, sexist discrimination against women and a level of prosperity that exists solely (or majorly) at the expense of another ethnic/racial group.
Whereas the evil guys always seem to have at least one high-ranking, female advisor or officer whom they listen to with the same amount of respect as they do their male advisors. In fact, there doesn’t seem to be much - if any - gender-based discrimination and they always bring different groups together for mutual benefit and prosperity.
I think these two things need to switch, or I’m going to continue to find FR villains more sympathetic than the heroes.
