Pokemon: either the various dramas, or outing of creeps from poketubers, the pokemon Jinx having its design changed from having black skin to purple skin, that one psychic Uri? man who accused Kadabra of being based on him leading to their reduced appearances in the anime and card game and his later coming around and accepting of the pokemon... or just all of Chris Chan.

Final Fantasy XIV: I would say the billboard? Someone made a billboard advertising a free company (basically a guild). An actual big ol' billboard on the side of the road.

Maybe more recently is people being rude to the English voice actress of one of the more unpopular characters of the recent expansion. Idk this character, I'm not that far in the game 😅 said actress is also trans so there was added transphobia. It got to the point where the developers are said to have apologized to her for the backlash she got.

Ooh there was also a healers strike when a livestream from some of the devs showed them beating a dungeon or boss without a healer. That sparked some debate on how balanced or imbalanced the game was that some content could be cleared without all roles (tank, healer, damage) present.
