They're not wrong. It does contain real world politics. If the rules don't allow that, they don't allow that.

In the same way that any game with nazi zombies or even every single historical war game. I don't seem them kicking out Call of Duty
Bethesda owns the COD franchise now?
Wasn't MechaHitler in Wolf3d?
Yup. Wielding dual chain guns
And Thatcher is only a tiny step more popular than Nazi's.
Thatcher wasn't exactly genociding multiple groups of people, ordering the deaths of millions of people, or invading nearly every bordering country with the most vile hostile intent known to man. Britain's first female MP being comapred to a genociding terrorist? I mean, I can see how political tribalism might make some people feel like that's okay, but please remember that the Nazis were so many orders of magnitude worse than any other group of people in human history, ever.
Regardless, Bethesda's Creation Club doesn't have anything to do with Call of Duty, an Activision product. The two are regulated by different rules.
Additionally, a war game that simulates warfare during World War 2 would necessarily require Nazis to be in the game, if it involves battle with Germany. It is quite different from a game that simulates a super soldier travelling to Mars and killing demons, like Doom 2 is. The context of the latter has no necessity for presence of political figures from real life.
Britain’s first female MP
I believe you meant PM. The first female MP was Nancy Witcher Langhorne Astor in 1919.
comapred to a genociding terrorist?
Unfortunately Britain has been involved in genocidal actions several times each century for a large part of its history, including some during Thatcher's time, such as support for Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge, the massacre of Sikhs in India in Operation Blue Star, lifting arms bans and selling weapons to Pinochet and training his soldiers, supporting Suharto in Indonesia and Zia in Pakistan as well as a certain group led by Osama Bin Laden in Afghanistan. Thatcher was many things, but thinking her being the first female PM was one of her most important roles in history is certainly ignoring a whole lot of her actual actions.
remember that the Nazis were so many orders of magnitude worse than any other group of people in human history, ever.
If you truly believe that I have bad news for you. There were quite a few other horrific groups of people doing horrible things to innocent groups of people in human history.
Jeeze what's next, the simple wholesome thrills of Moonman Doom?
(I don't think they should have taken it down, political satire like killing Thatcher/Trump/Biden in a game isn't in the same ballpark as actually bad or dangerous Doom mods like moonman or various maps that copy layouts from schools and malls.)
