This isn't JUST leftists trying to inject their politics and ideology under the guise of translations its another problem with a lot of western translation teams: they don't understand nuance.
The fact that the joke is Ryusui doesn't care about any of the details, Francois is just Francois to him is lost when it's translated into a western culture DOMINATED by identification, tags and which groups you belong to. The west has lost the ability to be nuanced.
I would argue it is not the West as a whole who has lost it. It is the ones who control this culture (or claim to) in a very specific area who have lost that, largely willingly in the name of political goals and a smug belief that they are somehow "enlightened" compared to those rubes outside.
It is the same reason that whenever they change things to "Reflect the world as it is today", it actually looks more like downtown LA than the actual world.
Very true but the problem is that when those outside the West try to look at what we showcase as their culture, they are greeted with these parasites.
It's why that one Japanese game studio had cute vtubers promote their game in Japan and Asia and in the West they got some demonic looking drag queens.
