Whether or not it should be, isn't LGBT issues political/controversial?
As are women and people of colour, and their inclusion in media. These are all demographics of people. There is no difference.
There's no difference between a movie casting a woman/black man as the main character, compared to casting a trans person?
No, there is no difference.
Your previous comments implied that there was a difference in type between the inclusion of women or people of colour, and the inclusion of trans of non-binary people.
There is a difference in magnitude of the controversy. But not a difference in type. Something can be more or less controversial, but it's still the same type of controversy.
Yeah, it seems we agree. My stance was only ever that I can understand why some people would've wanted to remove political controversy from their escapism if it made them uncomfortable and added nothing to the gameplay itself.

Shit, I'll see if I can pose as a right wing grifter and see if I can convince them that wearing matching socks is part of the liberal agenda.
If everything is political then it's impossible to make a game that isn't political. This is no more valid than someone complaining that including an option for skin tone is political.
