Let's see - really rare and totally uncontroversial might be either a) unlikely (in that nothing immediately springs to mind - maybe things like low-impact religious strictures?) , and/or b) not really significant enough to bother giving a character ("Certain very particular shades of blue are ugly on a car.")
But, like, "You shouldn't eat meat." I'd say (maybe incorrectly!) for most of my lifetime that's consistently a (slightly increasing) minority, but depending when I checked, I could put it at strongly opposed, contested or only slightly controversial. Not to mention where/who I asked - a "the game world" of Bay Area California vs. the whole US vs. ranch-country Wyoming might open up the range even more.
None of which might matter for this game, of course - there often is linkage, and if that's where the design focuses, maybe that's fine.
