The fact that people are downvoting you for speaking an objective fact is a travesty. Diversity is only as political as the writer chooses to make it, and having characters of different races, genders and orientations without putting in the effort to make them feel three-dimensional will not magically make a badly-written game into a good one.
They’re getting downvoted because their real concerns with game writing is getting tangled together with culture war buzz words.
Game writing isn’t bad because it gets political. It’s bad because the writers aren’t very good. Halo 5 doesn’t really do much in the way of topical political commentary, but it’s not better or worse for it. It has bad writing because there’s this weird feeling like all the cutscenes had their opening and closing segments cut. Take this one for instance. It’s like the writers thought the player wouldn’t have the attention span for more then a minute and a half.

Maybe they think I’m doing a dog whistle of some sort.
Maybe they are mad because I didn’t name AAA games which do that, I found it difficult to name examples because I haven’t played any recently.
