On the surface I agree with everything you said but I do think this is a conversation worth having.
Sexual repression is a real thing and personally I do think a large amount of the people that align with the character in the OP are upset because it makes them feel a certain way and that scares/upsets them.
Conservatives really do believe that things can "make you gay". Seems to me that people who think that external things can make them gay, might just actually be gay.
So I guess the focus might need to be more focused on the fact that video games can't actually make you gay.
Maybe the conversation just need more nuance.
