It's done for inclusion and it doesn't make any sense in-universe, so it's immersion breaking, which makes it (IMO) the wrong kind of inclusion. Again I think the guy in the video is way over the top because I'd argue that a character creation screen is inherently "outwith immersion" and 4th wall breaking and the game doesn't actually start until you've made those choices... but I think in spirit that's what he's getting at.
Is this about the pub landlady (can't remember her name)? Because this is a massive reach imo. I plat'd the game and put 90hrs in and don't really understand what you're getting at.
