If everyone was as diplomatic and understanding as you then the game would probably never have been this controversially received.
People were laughing at how buffed she was, that it's not possible biological, while SJWs were yes they can don't be a nazi bigot.
Besides the crappy story the biggest controversy about the game were Abby which was proportioned as a joke by Druckmann and his crew.
I can understand some thisty devs can do sjw stuff to see if they get laid, or that some people can think Abby has a good character design, or even think she looks cool or attractive.
I wouldn't (as they publicly mentioned) have uglied the characters on purpose, I think the face actress for Dina and Abby are pretty and would have been ok to include them as they are, with their body and their face, in the game. And Dina's actress has more boobs, I wouldn't have remove the boobs from all characters. They made that to don't make them attractive for straight males and the same time to make them 'trans friendly' (maybe ignoring that trans prefer to have boobs).
But in any case, it's their artistic choice and even if I don't agree their taste and decision, I respect them. If I have a problem with the game more than that is what they did with the (beloved) main white male character and replacing him with that new awful character, and to do it (again, on purpose as they publicly mentioned) in a way that you hate the new character because they did it in a way that you didn't empathize/like her.
They later (poorly) introduce the character and try to make you like the character, but you don't care about that because it's in a flashback the middle of a cliffhanger that you want it to end to see what happens next. And well, you hate her for what she did, so you don't like her. And they also introduce her gang, a ton of poorly designed empty characters who are basically there as tokenism just to say they are very inclusive and represent everybody. And well, to make you think 'oh, good guys aren't that good and bad guys aren't that bad, there are greys' as if you were a kid. But hey, that falk screams 'pendejo' every 2 minutes to make sure you get he's a latino.
Then they try to make a bad rip-off of the Joel and Ellie couple to replace them but without the magic their relationship had. Just because in their weird mind they think white males are something bad or wrong and they must replace them with a sjw friendly version. But hey, you were playing the game because you liked the chemistry between Joel and Ellie and that was the key of the previous one so you bought TLOU2 because you wanted to see more of their story. Instead of giving that they put you an ugly super jacked woman and a trans kid (I liked this character) but you don't give a shit about them because their story is boring and you want it to end because you want to see what happens after the cliffhanger and the game is already twice as long as the first TLOU was so it's getting too long.
I think the game would have been way better by making the filler part shorter, like the half of it was, and would have put it outside a cliffhanger. I would have introduced Abby and his gang before what she does to Joel and outside the cliffhanger. I would have given Joel a more epic and open ended ending (throw him down a cliff or something). I would have ended the game before Ellie leaves the farming house and would have left what happens after for a DLC. I wouldn't have uglified the female characters and would have tried to make the new characters more charismatic giving them time with more meaningful stuff and would have deleted some other ones who doesn't add anything and are just tokenism filler material.
The game and its story would have been essentially the same, some people would still be pissed off, but way more people would have liked it.
