Ah yes when Atomic Blonde sparked outrage........ on wait no nothing happened there.Ripley and Sarah Conner existed once, and sometimes we get one female lead for every ten male ones, which then sparks outrage over preceived SJW pandering; why are you complaining about lack of female leads?
Um ok how about the female lead in Mortal Engines? Wait no nothing happened there
New Mutants had plenty of female leads and there was......... no outrage.
How about the Hunger Games...... oh nope again
Stargirl....... no wait no-one was mad at that
Swamp thing where the main character was Abby Arcane? Oh no wait no-one got mad over her in that.
The New Monster Hunter film? Oh no wait the Chinese are mad at that but not because of a female lead.
Killjoys, oh wait no people weren't mad at that either.
Jupiter Ascending? No wait no-one was mad at that
Meanwhile.
Gina Carano - still getting backlash because some people demanded she put pronouns in her bio and she refused
Rosario Dawson - getting backlash for tweets
Gal Gadot - getting backlash for her heritage and people were mad at the fact Wonder Woman had shaved armpits
Letitia Wright - getting backlash for her tweets.
Weird how I could probably roll off a list of fairly recent female leads who got no real backlash (and to be clear I went with ones where they're more or less clearly positioned as the lead not merely Co-lead roles)
Almost like there's something else going on and some people are using characters being female to deflect criticism while also attacking women in other roles......
The same could be said about most war films being generic action films with war coatings on them.And yet Battlefield is primarily a multiplayer game. Ergo, the developers are making virtual laser tag that can be considered disrespectful. That they make 10 minutes of somber material to "honor the fallen" doesn't change the fact that they then made a multiplayer shooter in World War 1 and thus presents WW1 as this cool time when real men rode on the wings of biplanes before jumping down, shanking someone in the back with a rusty kriss, stealing a tank to capture an Italian coastal fortress and then magically getting a ton of guys to join them there behind enemy lines to single handedly win the battle. DICE designed the multiplayer part and made it the centerpiece, let's not pretend as if the intro and epilogue of the campaign is the actual meat of a Battlefield game, neither of us is that dumb (nor are the people reading this).
I also pointed out how the gameplay must be realistic falls apart because then you get the Extra Credits case where everything has to be as accurate as possible so 1 life and that's in oh and no influence on if you win or lose the game just forces you to play your role.
