I'd resist your assessment. I haven't seen such commentary in real life. I don't say anything here that I don't say at work, but I do hide my power-level. I'm probably the single most right-wing person I know, including among Libertarians, and "staunch conservatives". I live and work in places that are more right-wing than the normal. The only time it's different is when I'm with the old War Boomers and they start ranting about "queers and gooks". When I talk to them, it is difficult to explain the Culture War, because they literally do not know the difference between a gay man, a tranny, and a queer. I mean this very literally. I knew a man who kept referring to a gay man with a husband as a tranny, and he was just a gay guy. They are more rightward than me, but they also don't really interact with the general public any more and are retired. Their positions aren't any different than what they believed in 1978.

Now if a black character exists in a game, people might get pissed about it.

They're only getting pissed about it because it's an obvious indicator of injected DEI propaganda, not anything else.
