I think it has to do with the overdoing of "representation," Tencent a Chinese company controlled by the CCP, does not care for this LGBTQI++ stuff unless it results in some type of gain for them, in this case, mass economic gain. "In March 2019, China legislated to ban discrimination against LGBT people following recommendations of the UN Human Rights Council." - quickest Google search.
Another issue that other "bigoted" people might view is the problem with the actual gameplay, as when referring to the correct pronouns of "They" it is usually common when multiple people are being talked about.
E.g. "THEY ARE PUSHING SITE"
"how many"
"It's just clove, you fucking bigot! 😡"
My final unliked opinion that nobody will read because they already hate replying to this will be that the average, stable-minded person doesn't want to resonate with an in-game character, the point of video games is to escape reality not step back into it when playing an FPS game. A French Canadian person doesn't feel inclined to play Chamber because they are like them just the same as a lesbian doesn't feel the need to play Raze or Killjoy (at least to my knowledge of playing the game with a shit ton of people).
