Discussion Guys, I Might Be Onto Something.

So, as many of you are aware Aaron Ehasz has been accused of misogyny against his female employees (which he of course denied).

Throughout Arc 2, the show never acknowledges that the elves and dragons are just as (if not more) bad than the humans. On the contrary, the show goes out of its way to paint them in a more virtuous light, where they're actions are justified and they can do no wrong. And gets very preachy about forgiveness is always the right way to go, and wanting criminals to pay for their crimes is wrong. Like how Avizandum has been hunting humans for sport for 300 years and it's portrayed as a noble deed, but when humans finally rise up and give him his comeuppance is portrayed as a tragedy. Hell, Ezran defends Avizandum killing many humans including his mother.

What if the reason the show got very preachy is because Ehasz is a shitty person behind the scenes and is trying to implant into the minds of the audience to forgive and support him and everything no matter how many bad choices he makes. "Support his kickstarter because if you don't you're a terrible person and you should feel ashamed". "Call him out and your a evil bastard".

Although this is just speculation, I suspect I'm not far off.
