I'm not going to say you can never do an alternate history where America split in two but the southern half was the more progressive one. But if you do, maybe you shouldn't associate them with the historical Union and Confederacy.

Apologies if I'm misunderstanding anything as I cut into this conversation, but... Presenting an alien (so to speak) race with differing cognitive structures, reproductive cycles, cultural norms, etc. to western European humans and making the point that it's not actually OK to discriminate against them or judge them is a good one if you can pull it off. I mean, it's not as though acceptance through complete assimilation is some sort of victory for progressivism either. Or at least, it shouldn't be. If orcs or whatever are just humans with dark green skin and maybe slightly different dental profiles then them being accepted doesn't actually prove anything whatsoever, any more than the token clean-cut black man in a suit and tie, or the monogamous gay couple with a suburban home, golden retriever and an adopted kid. I will accept as reasonable the argument that a tradgames medium utterly lacks the subtlety needed to pull this off, however.

OneThousandMonkeys posted:FFG still makes sure everyone knows that Slaanesh is the god of hentai in addition to all that other stuff no one really seems to care about, like perfection or any other form of hedonism. I'm not quite sure what you're trying to say here? FFG brings way more subtlety to the various gods than any other source I've seen.
