"Other games did it, so this one doing it too is no big deal"
Hello, I am big brain man here to tell you my big brain thoughts.
Just ignore everything the lead of the studio said about the first game contracting the things that are now in the second. Optional or otherwise.
I mean, it's just a 2021 BMW 5 Series 530i with optional heated seating in a fantasy game. It could be possible.
EDIT: The first game was crowd funded, it met (I believe) all the stretch goals, nowhere was there a "just fuck Henry up" stretch goal.
There was also DLC for the game, and it still did not have black people or gay romance in it. One of them was called The Amorous Adventures of Bold Sir Hans Capon.
For which has now been completely retconned. In this DLC, we see the adventures of Hans chasing after women left and right and at the end of the dlc you have to help him win over the Butcher's daughter without her father's knowledge. Well in KCD2 Hans is gay now, so chasing after too many women and getting too many poonani will turn you gay, got it.

It was a big deal when you wore a gamergate shirt and were hashtag based. But now that your word means shit, you turn out to be the person you always were. We just didn't notice at the time because it was nice to have an ally in the industry who felt like unjustified bullshit being shoved into a game was y'know, unjustified bullshit... at least until it happens to you right Vavra? Now it's perfectly normal and would have been in the first game were it not for a lack of time and money. Except you got way more for the kickstarter than you ever hoped.
You can't even stick to a fucking lie. Just shut up already.

Honestly, this bullshit is one of the great VG development turns/betrayals. Still the number one ranking for me is Phoenix Point, but Vavra doing a complete 180 on a bunch of stuff he'd said about the first game is way up there.
A bunch of the other Epic exclusives also rank high; especially the indies, who were riding a wave of goodwill. Supergiant Games riding high after Bastion, and Red Hook with Darkest Dungeon spring to mind. A lot of people eventually forgave the former (for whatever reason) after Hades, but a lot of people were still left with a bad taste in their mouth.
