The Gygaxian take on drow was always :kombucha-disgust: and was loaded with misogynistic baggage from the start, written right into the text, that amounted to "these straw feminists with the whips deserve to have a lesson dealt to them and they're born evil so they're fair game! Also their weapons, armor, and clothing disintegrate in sunlight if you get the implications!" :awooga: :hypersus:
I can already hear the anime 'iyaaaah' of female drow taken captive to the surface as their clothes disintegrate (I sadly watch too many anime that has basically the same fan service sound effects).
Gygax knew what he was doing, as did pretty much every D&D writer who continued to expand upon the whip-waving straw feminists that are born evil and are just waiting for "heroes" to "defeat" them.
Without even having to check to know for sure I'm certain there's plenty of anime hogfeed for weebs that start with that premise, too.
