it’s called pandering


What's the harm in non straight white males feeling represented in a fictional video game? If nothing else, it's smart business practice to attract all demographics.

we’ve done this before. there’s no need to go down this path again - we know this is your thing. deflection.

for me and a lot of gamers, we see it as what it is - pointless pandering. and i won’t end here. Give an inch, that crowd takes a mile. Ask Forza. I’m sorry you can’t understand why we feel it’s unnecessary.

no worries. you’ll be back next year defending why COD’s only playable characters are bull dikes and genderless and pronoun-less robots. “it’s a fictional video game! why do you care that there are 0 relatable characters to you white man!?!?”

because it’s fricking weird, that’s why

What happened with Forza?

And yeah this is one reason why I just don’t play COD or any games that do their character’s like this.

Give me a woman character that struggles and overcomes like Aloy and I’ll check it out.

I couldn’t agree more. It’s a fricking disgrace to combat medics! You get shot a few times and then just sit in a corner for a bit and then you’re back to 100% health with no medical intervention? Are you frickING KIDDING ME!?

Never forget these faces no mater what the revisionist bastards shove down our throats!

I’m sure he wouldn’t mind at all if the first Vanguard DLC was Kyle Rittenhouse and his Antifa slaying AR15.

Maybe a “Let’s Go Brandon” skin for my MP40?

Or a MAGA hat resembling unlockable helmet?

It’s just a fictional video game after all.

Holy shite I thought you were joking and looked it up. Yikes.

My favorite is the German lesbian who joins the polish resistance


To be fair, there was a well known French lesbian athlete who flipped to working for the Germans.

quote:

Violette Morris (18 April 1893 – 26 April 1944) was a French athlete and Nazi collaborator who won two gold and one silver medal at the Women's World Games in 1921–1922. She was later banned from competing for violating "moral standards." She was invited to the 1936 Summer Olympics by Adolf Hitler and was an honored guest. During World War II, she collaborated with Nazis and the Vichy France regime. She became known as "the Hyena of the Gestapo" and was killed by the French Resistance.

If they'd actually done the research there are quite a few women and non whites they could have used as inspiration but it seems like they half assed it. Not that it should be surprising. It's Activation. Of course they were lazy. They probably has an unpaid intern do the historical research over a lunch break.

If the characters were actual historical figures I think that would have been really cool.

no one here is saying that; your comeback game is as weak as your k/d noob.

When we're talking about who saved the world in WW2? Yes, that's accurate.
