Yeah. That'll teach companies to not put in a protag that isn't a white hetero cis male.

In all seriousness, I cannot understand the mental process going on when someone looks at a trailer for an action game, sees a woman as a protagonist (at least where they feel one should not be), and has an absolute total freak out and expresses a deep-seated "need" to bitch about it on the internet and threaten (or actually go through with) a boycott. So Battlefield V won't be a total sausage-fest. So what? "It's not realistic?" Again, so what? It's a video game. You fucking play it. Y'know, to have fun. You can't have fun because your WW2 shooter has a woman? Why? What's your malfunction? Video games are only superficially realistic, and they have to be because they wouldn't be fun. If we really wanted it to be realistic, why not ensure every bit of tech is absolutely period accurate to the day and functions exactly as it did in real life (including all the jams, breaks, limited ammo, no half-mag reloads, etc. And while we're at it, why not have realistic injuries and permadeath as features to really ramp up the tension of potentially getting mowed down by MG42 fire two seconds after the boat ramps come down on Normandy? Maybe disease and hours of marching and non-combat activities to give it that added touch of authenticity.

But I honestly doubt that "realism" was the driving force of the complaints. 18 years ago EA put a woman front and center in a WW2 game:

And we didn't hear a fucking peep. Then again, this was before social media, before the onslaught of manchildren that was Gamergate, before every wingnut on the internet decided to openly and loudly scream "ESS JAY DOUBLE-U!" at everything that offended their warped and fragile sensibilities. I've read the comments on Youtube and elsewhere in the months since the reveal. The whole "muh historical accuracy" is a smokescreen. And the whole "Well, that EA rep said such and such" thing, well, he wouldn't have said anything had the usual suspects kept their traps shut and not had a rage fit. Honestly, I wish everybody left, right, and center would learn to just shut the hell up and learn to enjoy a game, movie, etc., based on its quality. Is the gameplay and story good? Then shut up and play it. Seriously, it's shit like this that makes me wish the internet wasn't a thing.

I can't argue with that first sentence but the rest is meh. SJWs like to appropriate popular culture and entertainment then inject their agenda into it. They also like to dictate how everyone is supposed to act. If you don't comply then you're a racist, sexist, ect. Anti-sjws are a reaction to this. It turns out that appropriating someone's hobby or favorite IPs then fundamentally changing it so they incorporate their political message then virtue signal to non-consumer sjws is the best way to piss people off. Every time they hijack a film or something similar, it turns the fanbase into anti-sjws. There's nothing self-righteous about wanting to be left alone. If sjws would just cut that shit, no one would care what they did or said.

But weren't woman part of the underground movement in ww2? 

My issue is they've come up with a bs remaining of WW2. It's not just the heavy focus on woman. It's the robot arms and stupid costumes. Are we playing Battlefield or dishonored 3?

I'd prefer no woman in this unless a part focuses on resistant fighters. Am I against woman? No. I think it's stupid their games like bf4 and hard line etc online have no focus on woman. It annoys me that they don't buy ww2 does. EA are a shit show right now. Fucked up mass effect, titanfall, Battlefield and battlefront. Can this company do no right? 

But there is something self righteous about getting your panties in a twist every time someone mentions women or minorities. Battlefield is a bad example because ea went about handling the controversy in the worst way possible alongside simply being a scummy company all together but that same excuse doesn't apply to people complaining about Ellie being gay in tLoU or people complaining about miles Morales being in the new Spiderman game. Complaining about there being too many minorites a game is just as annoying and whiny as complaining about there not being enough. 

Why? We complain because its agenda driven. Minorities have always existed in the US, but they were never as dominant in media a they are now. There's a reason for that, and that's a political diversity agenda that has swept up Hollywood. If a character has always been a minority or is a new character that happens to be a minority, that's different than writers/producers specifically having minority quotas or injecting minorities in to media for the explicit purpose of diversity. It's not happening by chance. It's the agenda we're against, the manipulation of society.

The problem is you people assume that every female or minority character is a part of this agenda like no one black or gay or female can be a worthwhile inclusion. That's why people keep thinking you guys are biggots or racist because all you do is complain about how many minorities there are in video games and movies. There are bad examples of how to include there characters I will never deny that but all you're doing is assuming that the inclusion of anyone that's not a straight white guy is because of some agenda like you have to have some additional motive to go against the norm

It's not an accident that they're suddenly being included at a much greater number than in years and decades past. And producers/directors/actors/lobbyists are very vocal about their agenda to promote more inclusion and diversity in their media. It's an open secret. It is absolutely an agenda.

Yeah it's not an accident because there are more minorities working in these industries and more minorities getting into stuff like gaming and "nerdier" hobbies and more minorities in general in regards to population and demographics. This isn't the 50s, it's going to get harder and harder and make less and less sense to create entertainment that it's 95% white. You can definitely push that to the point that it becomes a bad thing but the fact that there are more minorities in games and movies is just a result of there being minorities in general
