I was so ticked when they changed him to be right handed just “because that’s what most people are”

Those evil left-handers, always pushing their sinister agenda!

I etymologically saw what you did there

This is supposed to be a role playing game. I'm not left handed how are they expecting me to be immersed in this game? It totally breaks the realism!

Ignoring them clearly hasn't worked, because too many who actually pull the levers pay attention regardless.

I'd say a vocal minority do. A common form this takes is resentment over perceived "shoe-horning" of "politics" into games that "leads to bad games".

The thibly-veiled bigotry becomes clear when the shortcomings of the game are attributed primarily to the diversity representation, rather than anything else, with the assumption that it would have been better without it. "The writing is bad because they wanted to make a political statement above all else."

This becomes especially apparent when you consider that those same people would never blame bad writing in a game on making all the characters in a game heterosexual.

Some people are just straight-up haters, no veil necessary.

I can sympathize a little with people who had a romantic expectation for a character that they might have fantasized or self-inserted and feel disappointed or even betrayed by having their expectations subverted, especially if they had a strong attachment, as in franchise characters. But they also need to get over the fact that not everything has to be made for them. 95% of whats out there is already made for them.
