Now that's an exaggeration.
No, having a female French Resistance character (which isn't historically incorrect) in a video game or letting gamers play as women in the multiplayer mode won't lead to schools teaching kids that half of the front line casualties were women.
And I don't understand the problem with having female characters anyway. I'm playing Mount & Blade: Napoleonic Wars a lot and despite a big chunk of the small but dedicated userbase being historical nuts nobody seems to give a damn that the game lets you fight in la Grande Armée as a girl.
