Even if there weren’t female soldiers in the army, etc., there were a lot of female freedom fighters. Especially in France after it got occupied by the Nazis. So many stories of bad-ass women doing awesome spy shit. If a game company wants to let people live out their dreams of being a WW2 female soldier, I have zero…

They were bad ass people. Flew outdated biplanes against the luftwaffe and came out on top. Flew night missions before radar was invented and shut off their engines during bombing dives so that the Germans wouldn’t hear them coming. Really awesome, terrifying stuff.
You’re probably right, but you expect me to be biased AND fair at the same time? I’m only an idiot on the internet! That unpossible!
If you actually believe that Nazism had anything to do with Socialist pricinciples, you need to go back to the drawing board. You can call something anything you want, it doesn’t make it that thing. It’s like 1984 - the Ministry of Peace had nothing to do with peace. The Nazis were diametrically opposed to any sort…
The night witches is such a bad ass name.
an ideal past where white men were on top and everyone else knew their place
The most important point is just that historical accuracy has always taken a back seat to the player experience in Battlefield. This time around that means more customization options for all.
Reddit is doing precisely fuck all to deal with their Nazi problem. T_D is completely filled with Russian bots and open Nazis and spez keeps talking about their valuable contrary viewpoints. They’re not taking out the trash over there, they’re building new rooms to hold it.
Nazis and other people with reprehensible views tend to be segregated to very small, toxic communities that don’t represent the rest of the reddit community. They just get reported on more because it’s sensational, and then people like you spew this crap and perpetuate it.
I don’t see how this is whitewashing at all. These games are fictional versions of real (to some degree) events. Having fictional video game characters don’t lessen the realities of what happened. Do you take issue with every single WW2 game as lessening what the real soldiers did during WW2?
It IS sexist, and that’s a fact. Thinly veiled by some sense of historical accuracy being more important than anything else. You know, cause in real life I press F to pay respect.
The thing is that the people who are complaining about historical accuracy don’t actually care about it. They’re only using it as a cover for their own racism/sexism. They like games in historic settings because those games are supposed to (in their minds) depict an ideal past where white men were on top and everyone…
...No?
There are other reddits besides ones filled with Nazis. The Nazis just get a lot of coverage because reddits usually BAN THEM
pretty sure it’s been way way way way longer than that. it’s just far more noticeable recently
“Look at this SJW shit in this game!”
“Wait, I don’t see anything wrong.”
“You KILL NAZIS. That’s what the LIBTARDS go on all about, puching Nazis!”
“...It’s a WWII game, of course you fight Nazis. How are you going to liberate France if you don’t kill the Nazis?”
“Maybe France was better off with the Nazis. Ever think…
They never recovered from when Carrie Fisher told Daisy Ridley to say no to the gold bikini.
One of the greatest flying regiments in the war was almost entirely female. Really hoping the game explores the Night Witches because as far as I know, no other game has.
Between this, Last of Us 2, Kelly Marie Tran and Millie Bobby Brown, i want to know when my fellow gender became such fucking babies. What the hell are you idiots so scared of?
The one guy who lied about his education has me dying. Also the amount of people that think they were directly being called uneducated is amazing. I hope they keep crying like manbabies.
The fact that these commenters put EA, of all companies, on the right side of Ethics in Gaming Commenting tells me everything I need to know about this situation.
