Relocating so as to not be off-topic on Choice of Pirates thread…
I haven’t played either CoP or the new Heroes series. That said, @Zolataya, even if I ended up agreeing that Zach Sergi’s latest was heavy-handed in its treatment of social justice issues, I don’t think I’d agree that the solution would be for him to write a world where gender discrimination does not in effect exist. That’s too far from the themes he wants to address.
Plenty of games could usefully follow CoPirate’s example; I’m just not sure that the Heroes series is among them. There’s a place for escapism (which, as you say, is helpful in normalizing different gender identities)… and there’s a place for stories about fighting oppression.
