As far as I see it, the issue people have is that, like it or not, this is a sensitive topic and probably shouldn’t be present in a game that has nothing to do with such topics. I understand that sentiment, but at the end of the day, the dev can do whatever they want with the game.
That being said, people are justified in voicing concern or frustration with this change (discussing gameplay decisions is one of the reasons this community exists), given it is done so in a non-destructive way. Don’t get mad at people for disagreeing with you, but also understand that everyone on here is a person too.
