How common is it for fiction to be about high status people who visibly despise people like the reader?
In medieval fantasy it is very nearly ubiquitous.That is, similar to Harry Potter in as much as the evil folks abuse the peasants while the good guys condescend. Any ‘people like the reader’ who get treated with respect tend to be those that more or less don’t act like people like the reader.
