a single French IGN article said the main character from Stellar Blade has a boring design and looks like a sex doll. The article is otherwise positive on the demo, praising the gameplay and graphics. G*mer types took this article as evidence that there's a vast woke conspiracy to destroy all games with big breasted women in skimpy clothes, even though IGN is positive on games like Bayonetta, Baldur's Gate, and Nier: Automata, which are all very horny games featuring sexy women in skimpy clothes. A 56 year old former game dev spends vast amounts of time on twitter stoking up nonsense controversy that essentially boils down to claims of a Marxist conspiracy to replace characters in games that cater to white cis straight male interests with...otherwise normal looking women. The conspiracy theory even claims putting a black woman or a gay man in a game is part of the replacement strategy.
It's basically cultural Marxism and great replacement theory, except somehow even more stupid because it's about video games targeted at horny 15 year old boys. And the people most mad about this non-issue are middle aged men with youtube channels where they complain about the wokes. At one point Shaun shows clips of youtube reviewers complaining about the portrayal of the Greek god Hephaestus in the game Hades 2. The game presents Hephaestus using a wheelchair, which the youtube chuds took to be pandering, despite a disabled Hephaestus being accurate to Greek mythology. Choice quotes like "Why is a GOD in a wheelchair?" There are a few ancient pots showing Hephaestus in a wheelchair, which Shaun shows.
gooners then decided that Stellar Blade is a masterpiece or that it's making their imaginary lefty enemies furious, or something. Most of them probably won't even play it, plus it seems like a derivative mediocre sort of game anyway. I've personally played a bit and it feels like a mix between a clunky Nier: Automata and a clunky Sekiro. It's not the worst game I've ever played, but it's nothing special.
Shaun then goes on to make an interesting point that the panic probably comes from a desire to be the only audience. For a long time games catered to specifically horny white 15 year old boys. Now games have other audiences, or try to cater to other demographics by allowing for pronoun selection, variation in body shape, and female characters that have attributes other than their tits. Chuds interpret this as unacceptable and evidence of a vast conspiracy to destroy video games for...unspecified evil Marxist reasons. Shaun interprets this as insecure white cis straight men fumbling for control.

Whats the quote about when those with privilege loose that privilege, it seems like [thing] to them?

I think you mean the "when you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression." I don't know if the quote has a singular source though
Thanks. I couldn't remember it.
