I added screenshots of the rest of the conversation to the OP.
As such, I highly praise DICE for its decision to show this in Battlefield V. Games (particularly first-person shooters) have focused on the heteronormative caucasian male for so, so long, and DICE and EA's deviation from that standard deserves praise, not detraction. Whether a small (but vocal) part of the gaming community likes it or not, this will soon be the norm: the goal is equality.
Conversations online have sprung up talking about DICE 'selling out' or 'giving in' to political correctness. This perception is crazily off-kilter. As someone that's been working in this industry for over five years and has had the pleasure of meeting developers in studios around the world, I promise you more game developers are on the side of equality than are against it.
There are so many women from history that games like this could celebrate, and so in order to put to bed some of the hateful and ignorant comments we've seen floating around since Battlefield V's announcement, we want to show some of them off.
Haha, yeah, I loved the inclusion of this hashtag.
First, let me be clear about one thing. Player choice and female playable characters are here to stay.
Yeah, people getting angry over Women in the game instead of EA's greedy business practices, classic Gamers.I must have missed something. Are people complaining about women being in the game??? Any news thread I can be linked to please?

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