Battlefield V will have women in the war and this has angered some players

Recently, the first trailer for Battlefield V. The new game from one of the most famous shooting game franchises is returning to Second World War. However, the new DICE title has a glaring difference compared to the previous ones: effective participation of women in battles. Even though historically proven, this is displeasing some players.

After the game's promotional trailer and the confirmation that it will include women in both story and multiplayer modes, some "fans" of the genre expressed their dissatisfaction. However, this “dissatisfaction” ends up portraying a total lack of sense of history, as well as the veiled machismo of some.

The machismo of #NotMyBattlefield

Some franchise players have shown a complete lack of story sense. That's because social networks were filled with "fans" of the game complaining about the "historical inaccuracy" of the game, according to them. However, that was not enough: they created the hashtag “#NotMyBattlefield” to make the complaint.

Thus, the hashtag that criticizes the new Battlefield V No. Twitter is full of users who complain about what they call “political correctness”. Some even threaten DICE demanding they fix the error, giving a realistic war experience.

However, this complete lack of awareness is not limited to Twitter alone. So, on other sites like YouTube and the Battlefield V subreddit, users called the game “Genderfield V” and lamented “how they're ruining what the men of WWII fought for”. Can you believe?

The claim problems

To begin with, we already have a problem there that players think that Battlefield V, or any other modern shooter video game, has memorable historical accuracy. even the franchise Assassin's Creed, which plays with different historical moments in the world, does not have this precision.

However, moving straight from this discussion, we have the historical fact that women fought in World War II! From Air Force units known as the “night witches” to secret agents like Nancy Wake.

We also pack any Lyudmila Pavlichenko is hailed as the most successful female shooter in history. The woman is still one of the best military snipers of all time, with no fewer than 309 kills. Wanda Gertz, who was already on active duty in World War I, commanded an all-female battalion in World War II.

Finally, we have the countless young women who have enlisted in combat roles around the world. This misguided and totally ignorant reaction to historical facts is a continuation of what had already happened in Battlefield 1. At the time, DICE put a black man on the game's cover. #NotMyBattlefield is more of the same reaction.

Battlefield V is set to hit stores on October 19th. In addition, the game will have versions for PS4, Xbox One and PC. Check out the official trailer released by DICE below:
