Because it involves co-opting an established IP and changing something to suit the ideology of people who don't like or respect the IP to begin with. It's betraying the people who are the fans of the IP for a shallow politicized reason. This usually results in a poorly written story and characters which makes people dislike this stuff more.

If someone wants characters with certain traits, they can create their own original IP with a story that makes sense with those characters. Just leave other people's shit alone and everything is hunky dory.

New characters are constantly introduced in shows/series, and new revelations of established characters are also commonplace. If nothing is different at all then there is not even a point of having a sequel as it'd be the exact same thing.

The only reason i gave horizon a 6 was because they forced me for a female character. I like to play as male chars. Thats also why i will bot play black desert. Because the jobs are bounded on gender. Thats just bs. Give the people options. I would not play with a woman or a gay char but some will. 

That's not how it works in most of these instances. They typically just change the characters or remove them to be replaced by whatever gender, race or sexuality they had in mind.

I'm all for new characters but they have to make sense within the story and be meaningful. 

1. I don't have enough inside in that matter, but I do know Amy Henning was really good. But I am sure game companies are also forced to hire diversed people for the best paying function's and that they are more likely to get promoted even though it may not always be the best decision. The locational manager of my school has even admitted that she got multiple functions for just being the woman and encouraged her female students to do the same.

2. Half of the people on this planet are women, so including them literally doesn't do anything for inclusion. Hell I would even say games without woman characters feel weird. For homosexuals you kind of have a point. Being gay isn't all that common so why should it be in games. If you can be gay in your typical RPG fine. But I don't see a protagonist of a SP adventure game being gay as a pro unless it actually affects the story.

3. I think we can all agree on that one.

The last of us was a good game which had a non stereotypical black guy and Ellie was gay and that actually added to the story. So developers can add diversity/sexuality in a game while it doesn't seemed forced. But I guess they are afraid you wouldn't notice them if you did. So forcing is the better the option I guess or just lazy writing.

Mass Effect: Andromeda is a direct result of a team practicing diversity hiring. It was so bad, EA had to get another team to fix the game and poor sales caused them to put the series on hold. And if you don't think it's happening elsewhere, you're fooling yourself.

Of course female Ghostbusters was forced diversity. It was originally planned to be two females and two males. But then the studio decided to make it all about girl power, hiring mostly woman for the crew, even taking a picture of them all with the sign girl power. They even used sexism as a way to avoid responding to legit criticism. Congrats, your girl power churned out a shitty flop.

Its the same bullshit they're pulling with SW, which is turning fans off of the product. The Force is female. It's fine for Rey to be a Mary Sue. The character of Rose, who adds absolutely nothing to the story and actually prevents Finn from doing something heroic,  is treated like she's a great character and if you disagree you're sexist. Lando is pansexual. It cost them $700M+ with TLJ. Now, 66% of the users on RT are saying they don't want to watch the Solo movie. Kathleen Kennedy is ruining that franchise with her political views being forced into the films. 

The third one is so true.

Very good advice for people who wants to change pre-existing characters because diversity.

Not cute ( 一一)

It's a bit annoying but I don't really care all that much in general.
