    It “controversial” because racists and bigots made it that way. There was no controversy about other heist games, there’s no “controversy” about games with all-white characters. But put in a diverse group of character, that steal back what was stolen and suddenly that’s “controversial”.

      Well, that’s what controversial means. Things like lgbt rights, abortion rights, etc. are also controversial, but objectively fair/correct

        If any group complaining about something makes it “controversial”, then everything is controversial and the word loses all meaning.
