I don't really play online games that much, and I've never played an FF online game, so I don't really have a dog in this fight, but generally speaking, one problem gamers have had at least since the gamergate days is articulating their objections to this character, or that creative choice or whatever, and the lefties tend to glom onto this autistic miscommunication to try to pick apart the arguments, shallowly making comparisons to characters/choices that fans enjoy to make their specious arguments about the 'ism' or 'phobia' they want to hide behind.
The only real advice I can give regarding this tactic is to really think hard about why a character or choice bothers you for a little while, and then take some time picking words carefully, so there can be no ambiguity to exploit.
Leftists always attempt to pixel-bitch your argument, because they believe if they can somehow disprove one small, niggling element, that the entire thing comes down like some unholy house of cards.
It's why you'll get constant, repeated questioning and harassment from leftists/soyjacks that's just a tortured rephrasing a question you already answered - they're trying to get you to phrase your argument in a way that'll let them nit-pick it to death. Or, even better, dismiss it entirely because you committed wrong-think.
I've been seeing alot of this recently, especially in Warhammer.
funny enough, the best way to defang them I've ever found is to be polite and even friendly while tearing their arguments down. They can't deal with it. They can handle anger, they can play victim to snark and snide remarks, but be nice to them while completely shredding their position? they completely lose it.
