I think that's giving fantasy short shrift if you don't think it can handle issues of politics, race, sex and gender.
It's disingenuous to say the reason for playersexual characters isn't about anything other than not having to deal with this issue. It's not about storytelling, it's about how to not have to tell those stories. We have fantasy stories that do, and their characters are always going to feel more real to me.
