I don't think Hogwarts was made by conservatives though, was it?
For a most of its development, the lead designer was one of those YouTube antifeminists and had ties to gamergate.
The main storyline is about putting down a rebellion of a segregated underclass. The goblins themselves lean heavily into old antisemitic caricatures, and there's an incredibly uncomfortable parallel between blood libel narratives and the goblins kidnapping children for some sort of ritual.
Looking cynically at the one trans character (who's character is largely just telling the player that she is trans), I'd wager she was a last minute inclusion to try and shield the game from some of the backlash of its right wing premise.
