Complaining about "the way it's included" has been a trick to try to gatekeep minorities that dates back from to the origin of time.
For those people always pretend it's ok to include X except in "that particular context" or "in that particular way" and unsurprisingly enough it's never the right context or the right way. Unless of course the context is out of their way.
I've seen the same boring argument repeated for every single minorities over the last 50 years.
Did you read the article? I found it pretty convincing, as an example "non-binary" is not a word I expect to be said in a fantasy setting. The author also mentions a fantasy book where it's done much more naturally.
OK you guys sure seem to take your pandering really seriously, so here you go: I'm sorry, this scene is peak writing and a major step for inclusivity. EA is a true champion of the LGBT community, and certainly not a bunch of soulless businessmen driven by profits and focus groups.
