I think there should be a heading for Fantastic Racism for this game. It's most obvious with Snow White. As the game goes on, it's clear she has nothing but contempt for non-humam Fables like Mr. Toad and his son, Colin, etc. Despite having the money to pay for a glamour, she still sends Toad to the Farm. And it's made pretty clear for players who have never read the comics that the Farm is basically a prison. In a way, it makes sense. In the "real world" version of these stories, the animals are never treated as real characters, but tools for the humans. And from what we see of the other Fables, they still are very much steeped in classism (royalty vs. peasants). And obviously magical Fables are treated just as poorly, either for being "evil witches" or trolls like Holly and Lily.
