The whole game has bad dialogue. It sounds stiltet or like a bad Marvel movie no matter what they talk about.

Also, including gay characters is only political if it is something you object to. Are black characters also political?

Exactly. I’m never even aware of these controversies until I see people whining about it online, because a gay or trans character in a video game means literally nothing to me. Why would I care?

And there are people that it does matter to; representation in media is important. So that’s just all positives and no negatives in my mind.

Also makes for more variety in plots and settings. Win/win/win.

The problem is blatant references to the real world in a fantasy game. The game literally goes out of its way to remind you that you are playing a human made video game.

With better writing this wouldn’t be a problem, I agree
