DISCWORLD IS PROGRESSIVE: Pratchett skewered racism, sexism, and gender in a way that's genuinely shocking coming from a white cishet man who started writing these books in the 80s.
Accepting people as who they really are - not who society wants them to be - is a longstanding theme of his books.

One exchange in the books has stuck with me deeply:
"Sin, young man, is when you treat people like things. Including yourself. That's what sin is."
"It's a lot more complicated than that-"

WHY IS DISCWORLD GOOD?
DISCWORLD IS FUNNY: the books are densely packed with jokes, references and wordplay. You won't catch all of it on your first read.
Pratchett is well known for his footnotes* and has a dry, sharp, wit reminsicent of Wodehouse.
*a type of note, usually written with the feet
