Many diverse characters all fighting back against their unfair economic situation.

"... and that's terrible."

I also remember Portal 2 being on that list for "Most male characters are being depicted as incompetent compared to female characters" or something.

Dude. There are 4 characters in the whole game, counting one that's dead but probably has the most characterization. Two are male. One guy is definitely a moron by design, but the other was definitely not incompetent. Mad, evil, sure. But he certainly achieved stuff.
