"Why is it so important to push political narratives and individual life styles and choices on players of a video game..."
There are certain groups of people who have historically been ill-treated (mildly stated) for reasons that simply have no basis in anything other than irrational bias and bigotry. Policemen, firemen, dads, moms, to name a few from your own list... historically have not fallen into this catergory. Suggesting that we treat others as we would wish to be treated, or trying to raise awareness of mistreatment, could only be called "political" by someone with a political agenda of their own. In my opinion.
This will probably be my last posting for a while. I told everyone on the "Feedback" thread, I am taking off time from the game this summer. I just finished out my battlepass and only have this event to wrap up. I am very old school but I was never one who ran about picking on other people's differences. Back in the 80's we called you a spazz, today they tell the kids it is wrong because they are ADHD or something to that effect. I never had issues with people being gay or whatever the PC terminology is by today's standards. But I also never accepted any awards based on my ethnic background either. I am not handicapped by my ethnic heritage. I don't expect everyone to understand, but it is my opinion, some people to need to feel entitled to get an award because they suffered at the hands of others. I have my suspicion this is a public relations stunt by EA and Respawn to endear themselves to the community. I imagine there are those people who actually take it serious within those companies, but they are still profiting from this financially.
As for the youth, I read comic books as a young man and people accused the comics of warping the minds of the children. I watched horror movies too, and they also came under fire from various moral religions and parenting groups. I know it is not the games such as Apex, warping kids today. You were raised by parents and they set the ground work for your social choices. After that you get most of your influence from peers, such as teachers and friends. We cannot blame media for all of societies woes. I have played this game with some very young men with foul mouths and bad grammar, others seem to be okay with it and play more mature than adults.. As long as the youth understand, these games do not reflect our society in any way, they shouldn't have any issues living a ordinary life. I find all the characters in this game are not heroes or someone to be admired. Loba is a thief, Octane blew his own legs off with a grenade, Ash and Revenant are human brains inside metal robots who are basically sociopathic killers. All the characters kill. Not one of these fictional characters can be respected. Personally, if I was part of the LGTB community, I would be somewhat upset they are cast in this light.
At the end of the day, it is only a comic book, just a movie, and very fun game. Take care of each other in real life, killing each other in online games is a great way to release psychological stress. Don't take it to heart.

Obvious hang ups are obvious.
If people are so triggered by the badges, I guess they’re working.
Thats why I put them on my characters mainly. The triggers and Moans are worth it. Sometimes people have to think harder, even if they don’t like it,

Honestly surprised this hasn't been locked yet. People who are bothered enough to speak up about a badge just shows your "colors". Were you bothered enough about the overturning of Roe v Wade to speak up? Or the 100 billionth mass shooting? This game is an escape for everyone. Whether you like it or not. But whining about it makes y'all look worse.
