Efforts to be inclusive are nice and all but when it becomes the driving force of the studio, over actually making a game, the game stops being a game and it becomes very easy to see it as the propaganda you describe.

Between that and the community manager stating that The Sims 4 is a safe space for people to learn and grow; it’s not the least bit surprising to see the game being reduced to a tool of learning as opposed to a fun game. All they care about is jumping on bandwagons so they can shout about how inclusive they are. And even when they do that, they miss the mark quite a bit.
