Without fear of sounding "prejudiced" here, but you have to take into consideration that Mass Effect is ultimately an RPG and heavily story-driven, and the public for these kinds of games is exactly like Manveer Heir, which is why they keep going after those people. They are the kind of people who believe that having one character from each ethnicity and sexual orientation is more important than good storytelling and pleasant aesthetics. Bad artists, in short. In other times, those people would be starving on the streets with such mentality and lack of artistic sense.
I had my "social justice" phase, but ultimately if you're a white, straight guy, there's no mixing with these people unless you're a huge bendover who says "yes" to everything. If you analyse their speech carefully, you'll see that they want equality but don't treat you as equal. To them, you're an enemy, and some even consider you a criminal. If you venture into those places, you'll learn very quickly that you're constantly under scrutiny and you absolutely CANNOT disagree with them, because they have the perfect excuse to make you look bad: they label you a racist, a sexist and a homophobe, and the media will side with them because the media is such pussies these days and they believe anyone who puts themselves in a situation of "vulnerability", however fake it actually is.
In essence, to them you're no different from a rapist or a murderer, because criminals when they leave jail are also under constant scrutiny, especially if the crimes they committed were particularly heinous.
It's reverse prejudice of the worst kind, and these people should never be allowed anywhere near positions of power in any country.
