The numbers Mason! What do they mean?!!?
You can't tell me that all the idea of transgenderism hasn't been a CIA Psy-Op this whole time, can you? Or maybe even a Soviet ploy to make us capitalist pigs ripe for the slaughter...wait a minute...your character turns out to be a Soviet spy brainwashed to work for the CIA!

Sure, that doesn't mean I have to like it. I'm not demanding that anything be changed, as you so falsely claimed.
I’ve been thinking on this one. Maybe we DO need warning labels. Maybe putting a woman on Battlefield V will help people choose games that suits them if they don’t like women in certain games
Or they know they're wrong.
You know like when everyone called that Bully Hunters would be a shitshow and awful and no PC Gamer had to close the comment section because it wasn't supporting the writer on about how brave and noble the show was and how so very needed it was.
For those who don't know, it was a shitshow with them literally faking some of the supposed life segments with some of the Bully Hunters actually being the harassers too and just changing their names as needed lol
Misogyny requires them to be female by identity or female acting / presenting or female expressing.
Non-binary people can't experience misogyny strictly speaking.
Just goes to show how insecure, afraid, and petty certain people can be towards others different from them.
No we get it, you just suck at making points, constantly backpedal, and move the goal post a 1000 miles away while tossing landmines and explosives full of denial.
Or you know how weird things have become and a sign of things regressing because gender expression was hugely broad seemingly so you could be a girl into Kung Fu who'd never worn heels and makes fridges in her yard as a hobby or whatever or a Guy who wears dresses or loves flower arranging and fashion etc.
I mean as an example Jim Sterling came out as non binary a month or so ago. What's changed? He wears a bit more make up and a Skirt. So did the Scottish
You want to go back in time and tell the Scottish tribesmen they're not men cause they wear skirts?
Those are kilts, and they'll make sure you get that detail right, if you go over there. Call it skirt, and they will do something not nice.
That's a load bull and you know it. You ain't convincing anyone, but yourself You wanna get high off your shity; go right ahead. Flip that coin. I'll be somewhere not caring and putting my concern in to more important matters. Good night.
Semantics in the end really.
I mean do the Panto Dames in the UK suddenly stop being men because they've worn a dress?
How is it a load of bullshit?
We're in an age where a Tomboy would be having people tell her she's Non-binary and not a real girls / woman as such just because she doesn't ascribe to some gender binary ideals that seem right out of the 1920s almost.........
So, I agree that outrage over women in BF5, or non-binary soldiers in CW, is selective outrage, but I disagree about the idea of what you describe as being inherently disrespectful.
You kind of imply that us having fun at Normandy or Stalingrad is inherently disrespectful. Okay, so, if I enjoy something like Saving Private Ryan or Enemy at the Gates inherently disrespectful? If I wasn't having fun, would it not be disrespectful? Or, if there's the argument that videogame portrayals of these events are inherently disrespectful and other forms of media aren't, then I have to sharply disagree there as well.
The distinction I'd use is that MoH and the WWII CoD games clearly respected the historical events they were depicting. You can point to absurdities in both series (e.g. the former had OSS agents accomplishing impossible feats), but they were still reverential.
I was kinda confused why on my friend's playthrough, his character was referred to as "they". Turns out he chose the non-binary option. I've watched a few clips of people playing as a woman though, and you can clearly tell that the grunts and shouts of pain are female. I can't remember what my friend's character sounded like. Do they allow you to choose your sex then?
My two cents about BFV, since I consider myself a Battlefield fan and I jump at any chance to talk about this dying franchise: It will never not be jarring charging through the trenches and hearing a woman screaming out in pain as she's burned alive somewhere out there on the battlefield. It's not something that really bothers me, but at the same time, I don't think my brain will ever recognize it something ordinary. I'd be interested in hearing if female Battlefield players would actually care if their player character was female or not in a WWII game.

So there's basically an option to choose your pronoun? Ok, whatever? I mean, it's there if you want it. And if you don't want it, just don't use it.
Cuz that's what option means.

I mean, it's a cod game, where almost all of the POV characters have no personality or character traits at all and normally aren't ever seen by the player.
Also the COD series is about 1000% insane OOT and just pretends to be realistic so while it comes across as wierd, these games throw "realism" out the window whenever they damn well feel like it because it looks cool and because the script called for 20% more explosions so it's hard to really see this as a big deal regardless.
Not unlike being satly about ladies in Battlefield when you have GPS guided rail artillery(in WW1) that homes in directly on you because of couse it does.
Don't know what those are and I don't care. Those guys can wear whatever they want.
If someone to stupid to figure that out, that is their own problem. I don't see everyone doing this. And plus, with all of dumb shit and the chaos caused dumb ass and jack ass people in power, someone declaring themselves non-binary/whatever is the least of the Earth's issues right now. When this pandemic ends, I will still find it the least of the Earth's problem. For you it will be a nagging feeling with little to no reason, but that is a you problem. You work on that if you wish.
