"One must not assume that his/her point of view is superior."
Sometimes it is entirely rational to believe your point of view is superior, namely: if you are reasonably confident the other person doesn't know what they're talking about (i. e. if you're a lawyer and some random goofus tries to lecture you about law); if you have a good reason to think the other person is extremely biased or has ulterior motives ; if the reasons stated by the other persons for their point of view are obviously illogical etc. I think the last two situations apply frequently when discussing "catering to women, homosexiality and minorities" in gaming.
"An artist has the right to do whatever he/she wants to do without fear of being viewed as narrowminded, old fashioned, limited etc."
Wrong. An artist has the right to do whatever he/she wants within the boundaries of law without fear of being punished by the state. That is it. Anybody can think whatever they want about the artist based on his or her work´, including criticizing him! The artist doesn't have to change his work based on the criticsm or even acknowledge it in the first place, but I wonder what makes you think that it is immoral to form opinions about artists or sharing those opinions with others.
Enough of an explanation?
