Right? Something like Mad Max (film series, didn't play the game) completely nails having a variety of baddies without demonizing any group of people in particular, especially given how kickass Fury Road was, so it's not like it's some special defense to be like "but it's a postapocalyptic game with mutants"
Maybe my memory of Fury Road isn't great, but I'm pretty sure it has a lot of the same problems as Rage 2, though to a much lesser extent.
