That's why we are so moderate now, it only took us two World Wars and a Cold War to find our middle. We kept some of the extremes of course, but the mainstream here is rather centrist as you can see by the "we have to find a common solution"-chancellor from a relatively centrist part in a coalition with the most centrist party from the other side that we keep reelecting.

It's easy to ignore things that are not even there.

That you must state you disgree with these things or have to go through teh song and dance again and again until you get it right, well, it seems less "this is a good idea" and more "Dont question doctrin"
Well, I wouldn't know, just like I don't understand how you can litter a country with CCTV, check all communication of your citizens and claim to defend freedom. Where I come from the constitution says that all tele communication, via letter or otherwise, has to remain secret.
Maybe it's just what others have said, that they are trying to cover their asses because in that respective country there is also an extreme culture of suing for the craziest things. Not that we don't have silly lawsuits here, it just seems a little more, how to say that..."extreme" over there.

Also keep in mind that in some cases, perhaps also this game, the training is made a bit extreme on purpose because people do not act as extreme in everyday life anyway. Like when you learn dancing you practice the moves in a more extreme way but are not supposed to dance like that when you're out on a party. What's wrong with the game is that it only covers sexism and not e.g. insults based on disabilities or being poor as well. They should probably add another 3 hours, people have a month to do it anyway.
