More like Battlefield VAGINA! Doofuses attack imaginary video game ladies by all making the same dumb joke

Wow. So much fail in one series of Tweets. Bet they think the Night Witches are fake, too.

What does Battlefield Vagina actually mean though? Is it a battle for a vagina? Or a battle fought on a giant vagina? Or are they talking about vaginas that are outfitted for battle?

I don’t get it.

Lyudmila Pavlichenko and Aleksandra Samusenko might disagree with these definitions of “realistic”; however, I suspect that many of these people won’t know who they were.

(For those who don’t know, they were both famous female Soviet military heroes in the second world war. Pavlichenko was a sniper, one of the most successful in history, and Samusenko was a tank commander within the formation that took Berlin. It is my understanding that the “-enko” surname means they’re both Ukrainians, or at least have Ukrainian names, but I am not Ukrainian and so do not know this for certain.)

Well crap. I guess I have to re-learn how to play an FPS so I can get this game.

Anyone want to lay odds that the number of these people who have played Metroid games and enjoyed them, or watched Aliens films and liked them, is greater than 0%?

Nothing like a bunch of tantrum-throwing pissbabies crying about “politics” being in a game about war.

And of course, the people who clearly need a history lesson before they can go about being pissy about the “historical accuracy” of a video game.

Can this stupid ass excuse just die already? Battlefield and other war games have never been about “historical accuracy”, it’s always been about blowing things up and pretending to be a badass you perfectly tepid shit puddle.

I’ll buy this game and never play it just to fucking spite these cockbites. I hate EA with the fire of a thousand suns, but I hate them with the fire of a thousand and one.

They can die mad for all I care.

To the guy who says that ninety-five percent of soldiers in the Second World War were male, I say… great, it’s a deal? One in every twenty soldiers in all WW2 games will be women and no one’s allowed to complain about there being too many women anymore.

But of course this is Dale Spender’s research at work, and the presence of any female characters (except for family members, sex workers, and all-purpose damsels) will be too many female characters for jerkwads like this guy. The “ninety-five percent” is just a number pulled out of his ass to gesture towards “rationality.”

These are the same males who tell women and minorities to stop complaining about certain things in video games but it’s ok when they do it.

Whelp, my twitter timeline just reported to me that Jon Bain (TotalBiscuit), has died.

I’m kinda conflicted. I felt like he was an ass (and a bit of a bigot at that), but he did have a lot of good points about the game industry, and he was friends with Jim Sterling who’s a pretty swell dude, so I guess there must be something that was redeeming about him?

I went to look at the trailer for this game and it looks pretty fun! Not realistic, but – I mean come on gamer doods, realistic FPSes don’t exist. A realistic World War Two shooter would involve you and a gang of fourty others like you huddling behind brush and debris, plinking away in the general direction of the shots being fired at you.

If you want realism, play Hearts of Iron or something. If you want a fun shooter experience, this looks great.

Reality is now unrealistic. As it as been mentionned ad nauseam already. There were several female fighter during WWII. Most of them served in the Eastern front amongst soviet troops where some even achieved fame and honors as snipers, pilots, tank commanders, etc. It’s also good to mention that on the Western front, about 20 to 30% of the combattant of the French Resistence were women (which is rather common for insurgency groups of that nature). Not having any female representation of combattant in a historical game set in the 20th century is actually unrealistic for there hasn’t been a single major conflict that didn’t saw a certain number of female combattant.

The term they are all searching for is, uncommon, it’s uncommon to find women serving openly in combat roles and that’s the issue. They all know (or at least the majority of them know) it’s not unrealistic or inaccurate to have women fighters in a WWII setting, but they do know it was uncommon. To defend their views of women they need to enforce this illusion that women can’t and won’t fight for their friends, familly and country. It’s exactly like the same kind of people that think that if shit goes down, women will scurry back behind a male protector and accept his leadership and recognise his superiority; that feminism can only exist in an advanced and peaceful State.

They remind me of the guys who ”joke” about feminists (and women in general) being completly helpless in front of terrorist groups like ISIS, ignoring hte fact that nearly half of all kurdish fighters, those who dealt ISIS it’s most severe blow, were women; that the commanding officer who took Raqqa, their capital was women, all of which under the banner of an explicitly feminist millitia. To me, it’s a form of denialism, historical revisionism and propaganda. While the impact of women fighter might have been very modest during WWII, it still isn’t negligible (or deniable), especially for the French and Russian who needed their actions as they were facing terrible odds.

Plus, in terms of gameplay, more options is almost always better and this is an option that is neither detrimental, neither historically inaccurate or breaking with the theme of the game.

Since others have already mentioned the Night Witches, may as well post this.

Shit. I feel conficted. Like I hated the guy, one of my first posts was me basically saying “I hate that guy, I hope he spends his time with his family instead of spreading GG.” Then again he died at 33 and had a wife and kid who had to witness their loved one endure life threatening illness multiple times.
