I'm lending them the benefit of the doubt... For now.

Yes, even after the deplorable story. Probably full copium at this point, if I'm being honest.
You do realize one of the tribes is just lalafells in masks, right? They dropped the beast awhile ago, they changed it from tribes to societies. And you do get that the reason why some people are considered beasts was so that the city states could oppress them, enslave them and steal their land based on them not being considered people in the same way the playable races are? But they we're all just sundered Ancients and the determination of who was a beast and who was a person was completely arbitrary and based on who had the power to make the definitions.

It just felt like inspiration. I didn't get the impression it was a commentary of an existing culture. But once you start changing things to respect said culture, then I am more-or-less forced to start drawing comparisons.
Was what made you notice really the difference between respect and lack thereof, or poor writing? I mean had the Indian snake ladies been talking about curry every five minutes, I'm sure you would have caught on faster to what they did there.
