1. The game will sell amazingly. Most likely reason: because of the hype.
2. The game has reviewed amazingly well. Most likely reason because it is good:

3. The game has some terrible hot-takes. Most likely reason, because of clicks or to be edgy/contrary for attention.
4. Fans take every negative comment personally. Most likely reason, fanboyism.
5. Haters who hated the game before release, hate the game now. Most likely reason, seeking justification for an arbitrary decision(probably years ago) to skip this trend.
6. AAA games are being pressured to take up social issues. Most likely reason, politics and personal beliefs.
No metrics can make this game a failure at this point. The best you can hope for if you are actively against the game is for some sort of short legs on it or or some meaningless twitch statistic.
You are a victim of confirmation bias. You have preconceived notions about the game, and each new piece of "evidence" that pops up can be incorrectly reasoned to fit your argument.
Also, there is nothing that can be done about social issues being heavily pressured on big AAA games. Applying that pressure is good for clicks, and good for career, regardless of popularity with a general audience. It's a press thing. Public interest(even negative) and promoting potential bosses personal beliefs in one's own writings, will generally increase chances of success in any career in media.
