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?

1% gay shit is a lot different in a world where the people who want it are merely obnoxious, as opposed to a world where they've gotten everything they've wanted for fifteen years and all its done is embolden them to publicly jerk themselves raw to fantasies of killing us. Things change, motivations are revealed, and new context is created.
"If x came out today" is one of the dishonest psychological hacks created by vicious little faggots that has wormed its way into public consciousness. It only works because most people mindlessly regurgitate on whatever dumb fucking meme they've been programmed with. So what if New Vegas coming out today would be treated differently? It's a different world, with different people and more history to draw upon. What fucking cretin is so detached that he would treat it the same today?
in New Vegas you can sell the faggot as a slave to the Evil Bad Guys, who are incidentally also given a full valid ending questline and at least a chance to justify themselves (Caesar's Hegelian stuff is a bit of nonsense, but the part where some say Legion territory is genuinely safe isn't nonsense). the Good Guy alternatives are realistically shown as having problems with corruption, or in House's case, megalomania.
in KCD2 you have to save jews and be called a dumb goy to progress, you have to get cucked by a mohammedan for the only normal relationship option, and you have to very carefully not press the gay sex button to continue the main questline.
if FNV came out today it still wouldn't be as bad as this shit, so it's not only dishonest like you said, but outright false.
