EA on the backlash against women in Battlefield V: ‘Accept it or don’t buy the game’

Or, presumably, because you wouldn't like to see a Desert Gold-colored tank? You know, for realism.
Edit: Never mind the many inaccuracies in weapons that were never fielded in any numbers, at all or not in the theatre it's depicted, etc, etc. All things these people have accepted and will continue to accept because they're bigots.

That thread is pretty amazing, but this might be my favorite quote from it.

I think we shouldn't try and throw stuff like this on young children. Worst part of controversies like this is its more likely 18-30 year old men who are upset not everything is about them.
Bravo.
Indeed, most of the backlash is most certainly not children, but young adult men.
Check the like-dislike ratio and if you are brave enough, comments too.

30+ pages of glorious hypebole and heads exploding
Don't care if women are in the game but do hope they put in the option to turn off character customization for people who want it
Might be the first Battlefield I purchase.
Bravo to EA the way they are handling the game so far

This isn't a surprising response. Don't conflate a potential dislike for a company's games or monetization strategy with the values of the developers or other people within the company.
This is the same company that owns BioWare and has been on the same receiving end of all the shit that dev went through whenever they included anything that could be seen as a step forward for representation, whether it was gay characters and romances, transgender characters etc.
This isn't redemption. This is what they've been. It's a collection of individuals behind these products. Whether you like those products or not doesn't really factor in to this part.

"We cant be sexist because we dont mind women are in the gsme, but because how theyre portrayed!"
Yeah okay.
Yeah okay.
Oh, I know what to say to them, but it will catch me a warning or a ban.
All these idiots complaining about women being in Battlefield will still buy the game. If they don't... who cares? They're probably the type who scream racial slurs anyhow and frankly I hope they don't buy it. As for myself I'll buy it on the pc and Xbox one X.
Fantastic message I can get behind. I hope they opt to not pick the game up though. I don't want to play with these types of people.
I hope there's enough of a reasonable fanbase to cancel out the backlash. But I fear this backlash might have the majority consensus of people that would actually buy the game.
I don't think "if you don't like it don't buy the game" is a good response to criticism BUT, I think this situation is very appropriate for it. Don't like it don't play it, and grow the f-up
Are you one of those people? Has this ever happened where character customisation can be turned off in a multiplayer game?
The character customization doesn't bother me from what I seen but if they start adding neon glowing weapons and some just weird stuff the option would be nice. Idk if a game has done it before I know it battlefield 1 you can turn off user created stuff
I shoot based on color of uniform. I don't know how anyone lingers around long enough to see the face of your foe when I got objectives to catch. Game looks fun.
As expected r/battlefield isn't taking this well, place is a salt mine
At this point it's hilarious how far they're willing to go to justify their dislike of women

It sounds like you are one of those people. Why do you suspect neon glowing weapons?
Seriously, it's 2018 and I thought we'd be past all this crap, but I guess not. If the game is good, it's good. Doesnt matter if it's a girl or a guy.
I really don't but why is it bad to want to turn off customization
I'm not new to the internet, and yet I'm still shocked at what I read there.
Where am I defending sexism?
I'm just saying that the majority complain mostly about personalization and that it has been misinterpreted as sexism.
Smart players know very well that there have been women at the WW2. All we want is a minimum of consistency in the outfits.
And I am not saying that there were no sexist comments either, but that this was seen as the problem of gambling, whereas no.
I can't imagine being such a fragile insecure little man baby that something like this hurts my little feelings.
I just sit here and laugh at these idiots. I'm with you on this EA, they can go cry themselves to sleep in the corner.
