I assume the reason that you think it started in 2020 is that that was when you first personally noticed it, and the reason you think it came from the #######s who review-bombed the game is because those are the first people you personally noticed saying it, as if you'd been following this stuff from the start I'd think you'd know how to spell the guy's name by now... Well, if so, you're wrong.
In short, no, everyone does not need to be constantly aware of the things that bother you personally, nor do they need to trip over themselves to disassociate totally innocuous comments from people that they have no connection with. It absolutely comes across as accusatory, and you know that, apparently, which is why you acknowledged that it is "uncomfortable". Deliberately making things uncomfortable for others by introducing your own discomfort, derived from a misinterpretation of the motives underlying other peoples' comments, is not "important" for you to do, it's not laudable, it's being confrontational with people who have done nothing to deserve it. Be charitable and assume the best of people you're dealing with until they give you a good reason to think otherwise - any other approach, you're just a jerk.
Yep - this was what I suggested in the original thread for the game after I played it on release.

I'm sorry, I just don't agree with you. I, again, am going to repeat the point that we do not live in a bubble here and we should be aware of where many of these talking points come from, especially if they originate from alt-right groups that wish harm on certain groups of people. While the documentary did have... interesting reactions, the real hate and harassment came from TLOU2 and trying to change that narrative is disingenuous.
I do believe that making people aware of these things is important, especially if there's a risk it could cause others to feel unsafe. It's not about me at all. You can disagree with that position all you want, and you're more than welcome to have that stance.
Considering it feels like you're more interested in making this a personal attack and not a discussion about the subject, I don't think there's anything more that needs to be said here.
