I wouldn't try to find any real logic in these comments.  Bigotry doesn't rely on logic.

I think the issue is that people really loved BG1 & BG2.

This isnt canon, to the story or world, BG1 & 2 showed.


Its like when you read a book, and the movie based on the book, is somehow very differnt.

It annouys fans.

Also if the writeing is bad.... and it feels like its being forced down your throat.... its just done wrong.

Pretty much this, I honestly can't comment because I never got into BG, but from what I've heard the forced writing is garbage, and they don't flow with how the characters were written originally.  And nobody should be surprised, Amber Scott quite unabashedly states that's her intent.  She doesn't care about how characters had been previously written and she wanted to go in and inject whatever narrative she felt like.  And given how nobody seemed to care about the LGBT in The Witcher, and that game sold gangbusters, it's not logical to say gamer's hate transgender...more likely they hate bad writing, or writing that's inconsistent with the previous characters.

Imagine someone were to take the next season of Game of Thrones, and just completely switch up already established characters, really just force the narrative in there in a ham-fisted manner, just because it's a social issue.   You think that'd be welcomed with open arms?   No, no I don't think so.
