Title: EA on the backlash against women in Battlefield V: ‘Accept it or don’t buy the game’

Reason: User Banned (5 Days): Dismissing the existence of misogynistic backlash over the game featuring female characters.

It's stupid how EA and people here keep acting like the backslash is against women when there's women in Battlefield 1 already and nobody complained. A woman is the current background in B1, and it's been like this for months. The backslash is against the lack of authenticity of BFV. The game is set at WW2 but it doesn't look like a WW2 game. The art style, customization and overall feeling of the game has nothing to do with WW2. If this was a Bad Company 3 Battlefield set in modern era nobody would complain. Why use the WW2 setting if you want a game with modern aesthetics? I bet this game was designed to be an authentique WW2 game from the start, but at some point during development an asshole with too much power has decided that the game should appeal to the Fortnite crowd, and the result is this mess of a game without identity.
