Blughhhhh

Dudes who set up RP universes that are heavy in racism, sexism, homophobia, etc all in the name of "being realistic hurr hurr hurr". Listen buddy, you just got done explaining how XYZ kingdom is run by some kind of undead cabal and how half the population is capable of either telepathy or flinging fireballs. You'd think you would have enough imagination to let your players play a brown gay guy or a legit warrior chick without heaping things against them unnecessarily. 

Buddy, if you can't abandon all the -isms long enough to allow characters representing marginalized peoples in positions of power you need to take a good hard look at yourself.

Hate is everywhere, and excluding it from a story to be inclusive is stupid. If the author wants a specific culture to be something-ist, then that's their choice and adds to the complexity of the world. Racism can be down to the base form of humans don't like elves, homophobia can come down to 'Oh god I don't want to be of someone with the same gender, please go away' and sexism could just as well be woman-on-men as men-on-woman, or a third option to both.

Plus, playing a character who's universally hated in such a world can enrich the character as they struggle to find their place, and maybe even doubt themselves before coming to the conclusion they are who they are.
