I don't have a problem with companies taking liberties so long as everyone knows that's what they're doing. I also don't mind female protagonists. Some of my favorite games have female leads...although none of those are younger than the Feminist Frequency stuff, I might add. Parasite Eve is one of my old favorites, and it's 20 years old this year. Aya is a woman, but she's also the rookie who signs the guestbook.
So my major complaint is not that the game writing is more inclusive, but that the writing quality has gone down the toilet.
And I think that's the SJW goal; to rationalize bad writing.
Good writing is a morality conflict where good morality overcomes poor morality. The how and why are the audience takeaway. Modernity doesn't believe in morality. This means we're stuck with a ton of objectively bad fiction. Doubt this? Compare classic movies like Casablanca, To Kill a Mockingbird, or The Big Country to The Last Jedi. Equality of representation is a made-up writing virtue so bad fiction can have an astroturfed redeeming element.
