Title: EA on the backlash against women in Battlefield V: ‘Accept it or don’t buy the game’
Reason: User Banned (3 Days): Dismissing gender inclusion efforts as being shoehorned
The Customization of those games. If you're going to have a full customization suite it would be foolish to exclude women and minorities if you can dress you white male character up with facepaint, grizzly beards and non uniform attire. If you can make your dude look completely crazy why should women and black people be excluded? I agree with that. The difference between COD, Fortnite and Battlefield is that Battlefield games set in actual conflicts are based on something that actually happened so there is an expectation. You can subvert that expectation sure, but don't act confused when people tell you it's not authentic. Cool have your women, lord knows they have been waiting long enough, but it would be better if they were in something new, not shoehorned into a historical conflict in ways that probably didn't happen. Take the Russian sniper class in Battlefield 1. It's a woman, how they appeared at the time and authentic to the era. It 's how it should be done. But no one would spend money to look like that I guess, or so dice thinks.
