That's generally not what people mean when they say "stay out of politics" or "make it political"

It's when things are thrown in as a reference or parody of real world politics of the time.  Particularly when they're presented in a partisan way.

Folks usually don't complain about the politics of Skyrim because it wasn't a poorly disguised socio-political commentary on politics of the time.

Same with Dying Light 2 or the Fallout series.  They're not expies of real world situations or hackneyed attempts to insert the developers own viewpoints (or self insert) into the story.

Folks usually don't care much about picking a gender either.  I've seen some folks annoyed that Male and Female are sometimes now referred to as Body Type A and Body Type B but that's a very small minority.

Unless it's funny.  Everyone loves funny.
