The games are examples only, I’m asking in the general sense and even beyond games into movies or books or whatever - where do you draw the line?

Was that the whole point with Fallout NV? Why or why not?
Possibly. It's an old game so its political context is a distant memory. It doesn't change what KCD2 is either way.
Games weren't political back then, the point of NV was to have fun. Any sexual stuff was dealt with the same way as it had been in the older 2D games, by being vague and then fading to black without giving any details.
Or maybe you just didn’t treat them as political. 1/3 of the human companions were gay. The lesbian companion’s girlfriend is a key part of the DLC, the meta way to play is to pick the “give me gay dialogue” perk, and so on. If a game came out with those features today, many of the same people shitting their pants in this thread would be shitting their pants in their own threads on the subject
The industry wasn't profitable enough to draw the attention of big outside investors with agendas yet. There was some degenerate stuff, but it was never explicit or worse than it had been in the original games and a post-apocalyptic dystopian setting isn't supposed to be a nice place in any case. But if they make a Fallout 5, you can bet on DEI being the core of the game, characters being intentionally ugly, and faggotry being fully animated and pornographic.
