Probably some, but for me at least the fact that I really don't connect at all with the card titles says it all.

Interesting that with all the complaints about the brown tokens in Puerto Rico, nobody has yet complained that in Camelot, all the good guys are men and virtually all the women are portrayed negatively. It's true that all the main characters in Tolkien are men, but at least you've got Eowyn and Galadriel

That was actually mentioned in one of our groups, particularly the fact that even Gwen is in the evil deck.
Of course, in the Arthurian legends that's entirely representative of the major women. They're seducing their brothers, casting evil spells, locking wizards inside stones, cheating on their husbands, and who knows what else.
