If the game referenced all "fat merchants" with real life stereotypical traits, then yeah I'd have a problem with it. I think the issue isn't that it's a fantasy game. Bigotry in fantasy is perfectly acceptable. As long as the bigotry stems FROM the fantasy, and isn't a real stereotype brought from real life into the fantasy.
Just like, if a game has humans as a race, and black humans are considered inferior or treated as slaves.. I'd expect people to take issue with that.
But if it was a "dark elf" then no, fantasy is fantasy, because dark elves don't exist in real life (contrary to popular belief).
