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

Probably a similar reason as to why woman whine when a man leaves the toilet seat up.

Universal equality ain't all it's cracked up to be when it get's thrown back in your face.

Her house, her rules (yet he still lives there as well). A man's war, a man's rules (yet woman were part of the war as well).

I think the bar for what is racism or sexism at this point is low at this point the words are going to end up losing all meaning

Yup, this is the problem with using all the word in the book and throwing them around so loosely. Use them too much and their meaning becomes nothing.  

There is a saying that goes like these.

"The more you speak the less weight your words have. This person talked so much that his words fly weightless".

Because they're clearly not woke enough. Changing demographics in historical events is not offensive and would most certainly never be done maliciously.

Hopefully DICE will also include a mission where we can liberate Christians and Muslims from concentration camps.

Agree with your point.  Though, just so you know, some Christian groups were put into the concentration camps.  Not sure about Muslims.  I know many radical Muslims actually supported Hitler's cause, but I would assume some more moderate ones may have faced internment.  Again, not sure.

@ OP

Why the strawman?  It really amazes me how many times I see people who are SJWs, or side with them, constantly use strawman arguments.  I suppose it's because they can't debate with the other side effectively and/or answer the simple questions put out there by the opposition.  No one is whining about female characters in games. Playable female characters have been in video games since the beginning, with absolutely little to no pushback.  Many people have given you plenty of examples, most notably Lara Croft, Samus Aran, Jill Valentine, Chun Li, Sonya Blade, and Tifa and Aeris.  There are countless others, playable or NPC, that have become fan favorites.

So, why don't you stop with the poor arguments and baseless attacks, and actually address the real complaints?  If you can.



Don’t base your serious opinions on YouTube comments firstly... Is there a worse comment section than YouTube lol? Twitch maybe...

My thoughts? I'm a male gamer and I haven't whined about female characters in video-games. Your title is rated as false.

Seriously, why even make a new thread to whine about other people whining in the first place? Just go to where the original whining is taking place so you can counter-whine there without spreading it to new locations like some kind of virus.

As far as Battlefield goes, I don't really care, but I can see people being cynical because EA themselves are trying to make it into some kind of big deal, like it's empowering for women to be fictionally inserted into historical warfare. It does make me chuckle a bit. They're patting themselves on the back for a marketing gimmick.

He wasn't thinking of you, just the misogynist fuckboys who don't like change.

I usually play as female characters because I don't see enough female lead characters.

 

 

Lol, don’t see enough female lead characters...

Also, OP didn’t post again.

The feminist push in games like this feels forced. It like they just added a female lead in there just for the sake of it.

Apart from that the game looks dull as hell.

Seriously if you watch Battlefield V's videos on Youtube in nearly all comment sections you will see people whine and complain about "SJWs". How fragile is your masculinity if you feel offended or threatened that a private company is going to allow gamers to play as females.  There is an argument made that there were no female combatants in WW2, this is absolutely false as there were thousands of them especially in the Soviet Red Army. And even if that were true,  games are supposed to be a form of entertainment they are not meant to be historically accurate. Most people do not play games for a history lesson.

I feel like the ones that are calling SJW's intollereant are actually intollerant themselves and they need to really chill out. 

What are your thoughts?

When the fuck was the last time you saw WW2 footage of a European woman with a prosthetic claw arm, and a man with a kitana on his back - fighting on the front lines against Nazi Germany.

 

Oh that's right, not god damn ever.

 

People are upset about the absurd forced diversity that spits in the face of historical accuracy set in those times. There's absolutely no reason to emphasize on female leads in a WW2 setting - when absolutely ZERO women, with the exception of guerilla and resistance fighters, fought in WW2. None of the governments in either America, Europe, or Africa ever officially enlisted females for active combat in WW2.

They're inclusion in Battlefield V is nothing more than EA pandering to feminsts, while putting up their flag to virtue signal to SJW's and other liberal activists who have a stranglehold on alot of entertainment mediums. (ESPN, Hollywood, Comedy Central, CNN, etc)

 

Gamers aren't upset about women in general being in BFV, they're upset that they are forcing female inclusion and female representation. Men served in WW2, and there's NOTHING wrong with that - the sooner SJW's accept that, the better.

I'm really looking forward to this moment as well:
Battlefield V gets good review scores:
"Just the mainstream and liberal gaming press trying to push their progressive agenda."

Battlefield V gets poor review scores:
"Good it's what they deserve. Hope they learned their lesson from this piece of trash"

Exactly!  this will most likely happen man you are not exaggerating it.  If you watch AngryJoe on youtube he made a video on this topic and so many of his male "fans" are leaving negative comments and calling him a SJW and for "bringing up politics into gaming".



I trust no one, not even myself.

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.
