I still fail to see how TLoU 2 is “SJW propaganda”. It’s 2 chicks that made out. Big whoop. It’s not trying to take a historical event and rewrite to be more “gender inclusive”, or toning down any form of humor or violence to avoid offending anyone who isn’t a straight white male. In fact, the whole thing looks quite brutal. Even if someone is “offended” by two girls making out, I don’t see how that somehow detracts from the fact that everything else about the game looks great.

That's just it though. Much of the controversies surrounding "SJW Propoganda" doesn't actually have anything to do with SJWs. Inclusiveness is not an idea that is mutually exclusive with SJWs or the far left.

Not sure what you mean. Inclusiveness as an agenda is SJW. Problem is that there are companies and groups purposefully trying to inject more inclusiveness and diversity in to media and it's not simply happening as a byproduct of content creation. That's why we have a female supergirl, bat woman and in fact characters even changing genders and races as well. Companies are purposefully trying to be more inclusive due to sjw pressure.

SJW in gaming is bad there should be any gore or sexual freedoms its a damn game thats why rating systems exist
being liberal is good it means progress to allowing minorities to have an equal chance and other positive things such as not letting those who hit rock bottom to starve to death or their kids to die of a fever do to not being able to afford health care
BFV is not failing so wth? It looks amazing! not perfect but still better than fortnite and that new COD abomination also better than destiny
I am not a woman or handicap hater so why would i not buy the game? if racist misogynists are so angry at a trailer leading to them not playing is only see that as a win :D

Pre orders dropped 85% for the game, so yes it is failing.

seeing you love doom so much, how can you be happy conservatives try and blame doom for children becoming satanists and mass shooters?

I dont like doom and I'm not conservative so not sure of your point here. I simply don't like SJW agendas being pushed in every aspect of society.

So, what's the controversy here? It's a video game, not a documentary. Battlefield is already nowhere near being an accurate simulation of war, so who cares about the inclusion of women as playable characters?
Seriously, conservative snowflakes get triggered so easily.
P.S.: Women did, in fact, fight in the war.

I dont know why you equate being anti SJW with being conservative. I'm not conservative (dude I voted Bernie), but I'm anti SJW. These female characters are being added as part of a diversity agenda. They were never considered as avatars for many, many years the franchise has been running, but all of a sudden they are? It's not an accident, it was a planned change to include them to propagate certain agendas.

I encounter way more anti sjws than I encounter actual sjws. Jesus Christ people do you not see the irony in this? Threads like this are just as whiny and annoying as watching a group of hardcore feminist go on about mansplaining on Tumblr. It's the exact same kind of self righteous bitching and moaning and expecting the entire planet to cave into your narrow minded viewpoint |
Yeah there are more anti-sjw's. Just like there were more moderates than nazi's during WW2. So what?

The narrow mindedness of some people here is shocking. There are many more reasons why the game doesn’t get many pre-orders. I’m sure the girl sniper is the least of them.

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.

Nothing more to add.

Not sure that's the case, I personally know 3 people boycotting this and it's all because of the sniper girl as you call it. And yeah, all these people have been fed up with EA for a while now due to their business practices, but this is what pushed them over the edge to boycott.
