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.
