![]() Recently, the idiots at #dice and #ea revealed a trailer to #BattlefieldV. Stop putting playable female characters in War games too please and thanks! The response seems to be visceral without knowledge of other franchises currently producing games with women represented in gameplay, like Sledgehammer’s Call of Duty: WWII, or understanding that women in combat roles for the Allied forces is a historical fact. Using the hashgtag #NotMyBattlefield, angry gamers repeatedly called the trailer and cover art “PC culture,” “SJW,” and “historically inaccurate.” They have also explained that the “real customers” of Battlefield are being alienated by the inclusion and have further acted to push out women from the FPS community.īeyond those talking points, others have taken to transphobic, racist, and sexist language, primarily against women tweeting in favor of DICE’s choice to include women. Although some critique has been about gameplay and the strong resemblance to Fortnite in speed and character customization choices, the majority of it has been about the choice to put a woman on the cover of the game as well as the ability to play as a woman in a game set in World War II, with most claiming the game is over-representing women. The trailer and release of the cover image has resulted in negative reactions from mostly male gamers on Twitter and Youtube. On May 23rd, DICE released the first trailer for Battlefield V.
