The WN had an interesting snippet about that hand wrestling competition that didn't come up here in manga since it was essentially cut.

Amako saw the future and told Usato to play full power. If he had gone easy and lost, the women would have had a good image of him so the real winner in the competition was Amako.
Dang wish that had made it then. Maybe it is mentioned next chapter

She's still kept playing 4D chess against the whole competition, eh?

"He is very strong so thatwhy he must be scary!" Uh.. most of strong people they tend to be rather gentle as long they ain't on drugs that is.
oh well i do still enjoy the manga.
Allow me to argue here. While I am 100% sure this was not considered in this story, gentle heart is not connected to people getting strong but to how they are getting strong in modern society. And most strong people in stable countries are strong via effort and perseverance - be it sports training, farm work or factory labour. Not to mentioning even unintentional misuse of power will be punished by law enforcement.
Now if you take weak state with crumbling public order you will find people who become strong via vanity, brawls or physical assault. People will avoid to be in presence of buff person in such country if they can help it.
And finally we have (quasi)medieval society, where abuse of power and basically brigantry is more or less natural right. Unaffiliated strong people might be a threat to your wellbeing and health.
Even the fact women do not want to get on stranger's good side or not calm down seeing their men having a bonding time could be explained with cultural thing - except this village does not seem to have any strong patriarchal hierarchy as being descripted in manga.

There’s something about how Isekai authors write about human oppression that feels so dishonest to me. It’s always “humans did a bad thing, but now things are worse and you got to get over it” they do the same thing in moonlit journey but they actually talk about that hypocrisy.

The class president helps the humans oppress the demons even though they are fighting a brutal discrimination that is authorized and sanctified by the goddess. She ignores the plight of the demons because she is human. She honestly believes the demons have to suck it up and hope that in the future a human with compassion is in charge to help them. Makoto talks about how hypocritical it is for her to act that way.

Most isekai’s are like “We have slaves but most of them are treated ok so it’s fine” or “Beast folk are discriminated against but I’m not going to do anything about it because this isn’t my world”

Again we just started this arc so I’m hoping it gets more fleshed out but I doubt it. It’s around these arcs that I get too annoyed to continue a story. The realist king story lost me when they introduced that slavery arc too.
Despite all depictions and hearsay, Japan was never ethnically homogeneous. They had the Ainu, Ryukyuan, Chuka-kei, Zainichi, etc. Japan was also a colonial power that, like other colonial powers, scrubbed their history to be more palatable; I believe that is one of the answers on why its so obnoxious, other than the novel authors being terminally online libertarian feudalists.
