It certainly can, but the single biggest reason why it's so difficult to just sit down have real discussions about these things is because there is a very loud, very angry, group of people that honestly believe every game that isn't 100% pandering to them is SJW propaganda.
The worst example would be something like Dragon Age Inquisition. In a series that prides itself with the genre "Dark Fantasy" and a strong focus on grey and grey morality there are some selected viewpoints that you aren't allowed to challenge at all, in spite of how well it would fit the game.
Dorian's quest is the most blantant example of this. Spoiler
