I think that started when people complained about Ellie being lesbian, people calling Abby trans, people complaining about how you can't shoot Jewish religious symbols, calling the game "SJW", "woke", etc.
if someone was like, "I don't like this game because..." and they give legitimate complaints, it would be another matter entirely
Theres a lot of contrived stuff, like how ellie decides not to kill Abby after killing all those people to get ther and having her bite her fingers off or Joel letting his guard down around Abby (who he came into contact around by pure chance) despite how much it goes against his character.
Someone else could likely articulate it better than me.
