Well said. Let them bitch about nothing while everyone else can enjoy the games even more.
Also lmao at the fucking 3 man horse riding.

I love this. I don't even care for Battlefield usually, but I'll probably pick BF5 this year, they've earned a sale from me.
Mad respect to Oskar - his word yesterday inspired me to write a piece for Fandom and it's just gone live to boot:
'Battlefield V' is Right to Include Women — They Were Vital to World War II
My thoughts summed up, pretty much:
'Battlefield V' is Right to Include Women — They Were Vital to World War II
My thoughts summed up, pretty much:
I think the title should be changed to: DICE GM response on Battlefield V "controversy"
Edit: nicely done! This is the kind of thing that ensures that behaviour such as being angry at the inclusion of women (or other minorities) in a game is not viewed as normal nor as cause for actual controversy.

Fuck yes. That was not an ambiguous statement. The response is loud and clear: alt-right sexist pricks can fuck off.
Awesome, love to see them sticking to their guns. This is a video game. Not a historical simulation. I have zero patience for people who cherry pick only the misogynistic parts of how they want their video games to adhere to "historical accuracy"
On the topic of the game not being respectful of history, the idea that you need to be "respectful" in your treatment of history seems to be a somewhat recent invention which is, outside of certain highly specific issues that should be obvious, generally false. Over the top and campy depictions of WW2 and other conflicts have been around completely uncontroversially for a very long time, and I highly doubt that all the people whining about this had anything to say when Inglorious Basterds came out.
I can only assume that to a large extent the reason people are complaining about the "respect" thing is so they can say "oh no, I'm not butthurt that there's women in the game, I care about historical accuracy in my series which is renowned for having shit all respect for the laws of physics, let alone respect for history. Now excuse me while I upvote this reddit clip of someone jumping out of a jet fighter, shooting down a helicoter with an RPG and then landing back in their plane".
None of these people give a shit about immersion, realism or respect, it's just a thin cover for whining about represetation.

Glad they straight up said it. It would have been an even bigger mess if they showed themselves giving into a bunch of whiny fucks and removing it.
Yeah, people getting angry over Women in the game instead of EA's greedy business practices, classic Gamers.
The fact Dice has to step up and address this, shows how fucked up is gaming in 2018 and how shitty is the overall social climate in the world.
Oh boy are they ever. The usual suspects are furious over "historical accuracy". In a battlefield game. I'm on Mobile, with no links handy, but it's easy enough to find if you're so inclined.
r/Battlefield has been a fucking mess and even a lot of the threads about BFV here have been pretty disgraceful.
Oh boy, female multiplayer characters being here to stay in the franchise from here on out is going to sting some people.
Battlefield was the "last resort" franchise for a lot of these idiots ever since CoD allowed you to pick genders and other shooters like Siege and Overwatch had a good balance of female representation.

Is it bad that I m laughing at the manufacured controversy here? Give a couple of dozen blowhards a megaphone on Twitter and here we are.
Good.
These gamers are dumb as hell.
None of the stuff in BF has ever made sense or historically correct.
For example, in BF these Vietcongs could fly a MIG and A1 and would get 30+ aces.
If you can find me a VC that can fly a jet and out aced American pilots in the VN war historically, I will take back my words.

Found it actually. This is sad. It just feels blatantly hiding behind "historic" reasons for another agenda. Glad Dice officially said this.
