Forums - Gaming Discussion - Why do male gamers whine about female characters in gaming? especially about Battlefield V?

because battlefield was a little more serious and realistic. Now a sex that wasn't fighting on the front line in ww2 has a robotic and a sword. Its cringe worthy because men fought and died. Make a game with a woman in french resistance so it isn't foolish.

EA already did. It's called "The Saboteur" and it's one of EA's most brilliant games they did in the past decade or so. Unfortunately it sold like shit.

The Saboteur is really good game, nice mix of GTA and AC. Pitty they pushed Pandemic to release it earlier than it should've been.

The fact that you only reply to the one person who agrees with you on this thread says a lot about you.

Because most people use the same old talking points which have been addressed and debunked why would I waste my time and energy on them? Please explain. 

Why did you even bothered to make a thread asking people's opinions if you were not willing to debate? It really looks like you've already convinced yourself that anyone who disagrees with you on this subject is wrong. Were you expecting this thread to be an echo chamber? Because if so it's ironic that you're calling other people insecure.



"lupus in fabula, venit enim ad me."

Translation: I will always hate Fox for canceling The Exorcist.

Lyudmila Pavlichenko, Lady Death, on the left - 309 kills

Roza Shanina, 59 kills

Let's see someone makes a game based on them or any other Russian female sniper from WW2 and I doubt anyone with half a brain would "whine".

but judging by how they're handling battlefield 5 they still agree with those ideologies.

those "ideologies" you're making it sound like they believe in burning babies..  feminism means equality for men and women what's wrong with that "ideology" ?   although it is true that there are some extremists in their movement but that could be said about all ideologies really. 

I agree, feminism is a great thing, but not when used as a cover-up, such as this instance. Anita is not a feminist. She's a feminazi.

edit:

EA believes women fought on the front lines of the british army, having a prosthetic arm and wielding a cricket bat. Any one who opposes that is "uneducated" and "sexist". That's misuse of "feminism".



Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.

I don't really care about the whole "Women in WW2" thing. Not only did some women fight in WW2 but neither Activision nor EA will ever give enough of a shit about historical accuracy so expecting them to do so is just laughable. I do think there are a lot of people out there looking for things to complain about.

However, I think Call of Duty WW2 just crossed a line by portraying Black Nazi men and women. I mean it's one of the most moronic things I've ever seen in gaming. It's almost funny how dumb it is. It's the kind of design decision I'd expect from Something Awful/4chan or something.

You're clearly displaying your blatant bias on this matter.  Don't worry about why I chose to make this thread. 
I will happily debate people with reasonable arguments. 



I trust no one, not even myself.

I'm still waiting for an argument from you.  I read the opening post and the last few pages of your comments and haven't actually found a debate.  You've simply replied to every post saying "You're clearly displaying blatant bias" then hushed up on the matter.  You wanna debate, then go ahead.  

I personally as a liberal believe that extremist views that don't accept their opponents have valid points are killing their own causes.  If you don't care about historical accuracy and wanna throw it to the dogs, then say so clearly.  Stop one-sidedly declaring your victory without actually backing it up with anything.  Admit that you want gamers to accept historical inaccuracy if it means including female protagonists.  Stop talking around it and simply say it.  

People like Anita Sarkeesian have set woman's rights back 20 years in my opinion. They're doing the conservative job for them.  Stop appointing random labels to everything you don't like.  No one is buying it.  You're nitpicking the left because you're afraid of actually tackling the right.  This is how we got Trump for president...

Bias towards what and whom? And if we are blatantly biased, than it should be easier to counter our points, yet I haven't seen you do that.

My issue is why do companies like EA think it's only white fat males that a pissed off when they do shit like this and insult fans. That's an insult to Africans and other races that are pissed because it's like they don't even exist. I'm African and although I didn't take part in the Youtube outrage I think the BFV reveal trailer was shit. Trying to be political but hiding behind the creativity curtain.

Feeding attention to people who crave it doesn't solve anything. Try the opposite.

As long as the opposite involves sitting back and watching cute animals do outrageous things.

No. Stop giving those attention whores what they want!
