the most important reason why is because its popular to hate on it. veilguard is, to put it kindly, not the best game bioware's made as of late. had veilguard been a BG3 tier success the obvious suspects would have hated on it for a day or two, realized that the game is overwhelmingly popular, and then desperately sought ways to pass the game as anti woke and anti DEI. it happened before and will happen again.
once you acknowledge that fact, well, take our pick. woke, dei, the women aren't anime dolls, there's gays, there's pronouns, there's trans people, and so on and so forth. these are what trigger them, and these are what they attach to the game's actual design and narrative problems. hence the prior dynamic. if veilguard was truly spotless, any discourse attacking it would be niche and therefore not useful to online grifters.
