Has there really been any gaming "controversies"

Yes.

The game Verdun 14-18 was accused of racism, because they didn't put black people in their game. They also got critisized because of the lack of women in the trenches, since we all know that ww1 was fought mainly by women, right?

Pathetic.

If your metric for controversy is man-children disagreeing with "mature" man-children over what is and isn't acceptable content for a game then there's been plenty.

What was the big controversy again?
Killing innocents? Because that's been a thing for ages.

That or that it was temporarily pulled from Steam. Depends who you ask.

A few crying SJW's doesn't count imo. There's a few crying SJW's with EVERY release nowadays.

Objective: Going on a rampage where you kill as many innocent people as possible.
It didn't sit well with the normies who thought it'd motivate people to do it irl.

Because it appeared to be a 'Columbine' simulator or some sort of mass shooting simulator, with the actual goal being that, rather than something you could choose to do like in GTA

I imagined someone shooting up a school and blaming it on Hatred as the ultimate troll attempt.
Can you imagine as ass-pained reddit-tier gamers would be.
