i'm a huge history sperg and really do appreciate historical accuracy, and this shit doesn't really bother me at all. maybe its the irony poisoning, but i think it is funny as all get out. fucking surreal.
it isn't like anyone but the most idiotic or subverted that are going to get the impression that the game trailer receiving so much flak is historically accurate. i do think that it is a pretty silly move, lefty virtue-signalling can be mad profitable at times, but hardly in non-indie games, especially shootan games. sure, all those indie games with progressive undertones made tons of money, but it ain't the same thing at all.
It’s laughable to think that any modern video game based on a war is “historically accurate,” but even in this case, Battlefield isn’t off the mark. Women did fight in World War II, from the air force units known as the “Night Witches,” to secret agents like Nancy Wake. Lyudmila Pavlichenko is hailed as the most successful female sniper in history, as well as one of the top military snipers of all time with a credited 309 kills. Wanda Gertz began her military career during World War I and later commanded an all-female battalion in World War II. Young women enlisted in combat roles across the world. That a single British woman in the game’s reveal trailer has Battlefield players so riled up is willful ignorance that such a role could have ever existed in history.
oh god now THIS is fucking comedy dude, what the fuck? because in the many years of the Second World War spanning 5 continents, there were bound to be SOME FEW females using firearms against the enemy, some females acting as agents in the French Underground and elsewhere, and some Soviet propaganda, it is not historically inaccurate to portray a woman with a fucking hook for a hand parachuting in for cowwadoody bullshit, equipped with her trusty nail-bait (perfect for bashing the fash, amirite?!)
jesus christ im glad that i enjoy this shit or i would be mad all the time
