It's crazy that racists just have an axe to grind with people who are even vaguely accepting. If a game is too "woke" just shut up and let us have our fun. No one is making you play it. Kudos for the professor's self-confidence. I hope she is safe from crazy people on the web.

Exactly. And empathy is not a weakness, it's a strength. Blindly hating things is weakness and ignorance.
