EA promises this game will be the most immersive Battlefield yet, set in WW2
The reveal trailer features a one armed female with blue face paint
Angry fans speak out and EA's chief design officer Patrick Soderlund says the following
“I have a 13-year-old daughter that when the trailer came out and she saw all the flak, she asked me, ‘Dad, why’s this happening?'” he continued. “She plays Fortnite, and says, ‘I can be a girl in Fortnite. Why are people so upset about this?’ … I just said, ‘You know what? You’re right. This is not ok.’ These are people who are uneducated – they don’t understand that this is a plausible scenario.

“Listen: this is a game. And today gaming is gender-diverse, like it hasn’t been before. There are a lot of female people who want to play, and male players who want to play as a badass woman. And we don’t take any flak. We stand up for the cause, because I think those people who don’t understand it, well, you have two choices: either accept it or don’t buy the game. I’m fine with either or. It’s just not OK.”

Seems like the SJW crowd and wahmen that EA pandered to...didn't all rush out and buy the game






THIS IS THE MORE SICKENING PART THAT I WAS UNAWARE OF UNTIL I WATCHED THIS VIDEO:






I highly encourage you to find the time to watch the Battlefield V: Inclusive Revisionism video whether you play video games or not. This is important to see just how far and deep propaganda runs. They literally rewrote real conflicts, missions, battles of WWII to prop up women and minorities and vilify white men. I see my fair share of ill shit from SJWs, the left, PC culture, ect ect.... however this really really struck a nerve with me.

I've come to realize that games in historical settings are merely modernity in historical drag rather than an opportunity to drop into a truly realistic simulation of how the past really was. The same is true of portrayals of history across all entertainment, the constant black- and femwashing. The problem I have with it is the insincerity on the part of creators in continuing to assert that this is in fact as it was. The we waz (fill in the blank)z and sheet phenomenon. Either they really are deluded about history or they are engaging in intentional double-speak for what they see as the greater good of social engineering. In other words, if it makes blacks and women feel better to think they built the pyramids and won WWII for the allies when they had a much more minor role, so be it.

On a business standpoint the bean counters in the game industry have been attempting to broaden their markets for decades now. Presenting a more diverse and egalitarian setting in a historical context that wouldn't otherwise offer one is probably part of that tactic. So it's like "hey women, you can play a WWII game cuz look we've got women in it and they are even more badass than the men!" It's pandering and the downside is it destroys suspension of disbelief and alienates geeks who value historical accuracy.

The long-term risk here is that generations of kids will be like Bill & Ted, not knowing anything about history other than the warped and mythologized versions from pop-culture.

If you don't know anything about history you really can't be a useful member of a democratic society.

This topic always gets me thinking of conspiracy theories, i.e. maybe the true goal of these companies (particularly those in media) isn't to make profits but to affect the culture. Ex: between the 60s-80s there was a massive shift in the media to portray women as empowered, encourage them to join the workforce, etc. These shows/movies/books/magazines/ads made money for the companies that produced and promoted them, but whatever amount was made pales in comparison to the aggregate gain in social control that was made in the form of increased taxation, indoctrination, breakdown of the traditional family, etc.

Maybe the (((people))) in charge of media companies don't mind taking a financial hit every now and then.

Check out the Congress for Cultural Freedom.

It was a CIA pet project. And it was specifically responsible for pushing this "abstract impressionism" (modern art) nonsense, and all it's derivatives. Meanwhile, Gloria Steinem was a CIA asset.

Probably, but the scale in certain projects is just too massive. My guess is that they mis-calibrated in terms of how much propaganda they can get away with. Turns out that their idea of far-left indoctrination simply did not copy over to the real world. They control the media and the universities, but people on average are still long away from SJWs. And the worst thing about it - the SJWs don't even like or really consume the media that is catered to them. They can make all the SJW comics they like at Marvel Comics. Hardly anyone of those blue-haired bitches is going to buy it, because :
1) They are mostly broke
2) They don't care enough about comics, movies, Star Wars, video-games, superheroes etc.
3) They don't even like the stories they create, because the stories omit the basic fundamental story myths that keep you invested. The problem with propaganda is that cultural marxism and feminism is mired in lack of reality. So as strange as it seems - a character like Rey who is a total Mary Sue is even less liked by them on a visceral level. They may not admit it, but it will simply not tick off the boxes that are good story-telling points. That is why no one - not even the old ardent communists - were overly impressed with Soviet propaganda. It was just dumb and unrealistic.

See wiki link. If they could do it in the 60s, they can definitely do it today.

Speaking of "Socialists", there is a new political party in town: Democrat Socialists. Let's take a look at Democrat Socialist Hottie's Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's tweet about a popular NYC diner back in August 2018.

Quote:[/url]

Whoops...geez...[url=https://freebeacon.com/politics/ocasio-cortez-visits-restaurant-closed-policies/]I wondered what happened
?
Quote:Quote:

...
Her former employers announced the closure of the eatery in July, blaming in part the policies that Ocasio-Cortez has campaigned on. The Coffee Shop co-owner and president Charles Milite told the New York Post that escalating rents as well as New York's minimum-wage hikes were to blame for shuttering the company, which employed 150 workers.

...

Labor watchdogs said that Ocasio-Cortez's talk of a better future for everyone does not square with the experience of large minimum-wage hikes like the $15 hourly rate she supports. Michael Saltsman of the Employment Policies Institute said politicians are to blame for the closure of businesses like The Coffee Place, which had survived for nearly 30 years. Saltsman said that rather than visiting her soon-to-be unemployed coworkers, Ocasio-Cortez should reevaluate her approach to economic regulation.

"Ocasio-Cortez's desired ‘living wage' of $15 an hour has been a living hell for many small business owners in New York, who've been unable to offset the cost through higher prices," he told the Washington Free Beacon. "It's fine to mourn the impending closure of your former employer—it's better to understand the misguided minimum-wage mandates that contributed to that closure."

Ocasio-Cortez has bucked criticism of her support for a $15 minimum wage—more than double the national rate of $7.25—in the past.

"The fact that paying people enough to live is considered a ‘radical, far-left' position says more about the current state of our nation's politics than it does mine," she said in July.
...

Thanks to the newly Democrat Socialists party, we will see more businesses "get woke, go broke" in the future.
WB Ocasio-Cortez, then dump her spicy ass for not giving me a raise.

From the Guardian:

Yahoo parent Verizon cuts value of media brands by $4.6bn
US telecom firm’s Oath, which includes Huffington Post and AOL, is now worth $200m
Mark Sweney | Wed 12 Dec 2018 18.21 GMT

The collective value of digital media brands including Huffington Post, Yahoo and AOL, which once had a stock market capitalisation of more than $200bn (£158bn), has been slashed to only $200m by their parent Verizon.

The US telecoms company has taken a $4.6bn charge on the goodwill value of Oath, the digital media subsidiary that houses properties including HuffPo, Yahoo and AOL, leaving it worth about $200m on paper.

In a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the US stock market regulator, Verizon said it was writing down the value of Oath after a strategic review that resulted in the downgrading of financial projections for the business.

The write-down of the value of Oath, which Verizon put together in the hope of creating a viable rival to Google and Facebook with a target of $10bn revenues by 2020, provides further stark evidence of the tough conditions facing a whole generation of digital media companies.

It is also a far cry from the frothy excesses of the turn of the century dotcom boom, when AOL hit a peak stock market value of $222bn in December 1999, with Yahoo’s capitalisation topping $100m around the same time.

The following year AOL’s mega-merger with Time Warner created a $350bn business that was lauded as a visionary marriage of old and new media.

However, the deal has since been widely derided as one of the most disastrous mergers in corporate history and the two companies split in 2009, with AOL valued at about $3.5bn.

The year before that, Yahoo, still holding ambitions to fight back against the rise of Google and Facebook, spurned a $45bn offer from rival Microsoft.

Verizon bought AOL in 2015 for $4.4bn and two years later acquired Yahoo for $4.5bn.

A newer generation of digital media companies with hot prospects have also found themselves falling on tougher times over the past year.

Last month Disney wrote down $157m of its investment in Vice Media, the youth-focused upstart that had enjoyed a frothy $5.7bn valuation. Disney took a $400m stake in Vice in 2015 after investment by other traditional media companies including Rupert Murdoch’s 21st Century Fox and the advertising giant WPP.

BuzzFeed, the digital media company founded by Jonah Peretti, missed its revenues last year, coming in at $260m versus a planned $350m. About 100 jobs were cut and a planned stock market flotation was postponed.

In a recent interview, Peretti appealed to rivals such as Vice, Vox Media, which owns brands including Recode and The Verge, Group Nine and Refinery, suggesting that they should think about merging to create the scale needed to compete with Google and Facebook.
