I have not followed the Battlefield discussion so I can't comment on that. I'm not offended by stuff like The Last of Us DLC, I never cared in real life either whether my friends are straight or bi or gay, why would that bother me? I think what annoys me is when a game, book or movie postulates its creator's political agenda as being "correct" or superior. Basically, what you did in this thread: Framing the other side as being wrong right from the start, thus stopping any discussion from happening. I don't want to be lectured by people, neither from the left nor from the right. If a game portrayed national socialism as superior I'd be in an uproar.
I think the real problem is that people both on the left and the right are so stuck up in their way of thinking that they can't see when the other side has a point. You could clearly see it in the discussion about big tech companies banning some right-wing people from their platforms a little while ago. If leftists had been banned, the roles would be reversed with the left clamouring for freedom of speech and the right saying these are private companies. Same here: The conservatives complain about Battlefield and the leftist defend it. If Battlefield portrayed the first wave of feminists during WWII as stupid (or had in-game discussion about female soldiers answered with "women are too weak to serve!"), the roles would be reversed. No side has the moral high ground, but lots of people from both sides act as if they had it. And that annoys me because it has no place in most games or movies.
