It appears that one phenomenon seems to be becoming more and more common: A new game has promotional material that hints of it being politically charged with identity politics and social justice ideology... and those suspicions turn out to be completely right in the end.
I already wrote previously how a trailer for the game Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus seemed to hint of the game having heavy-handed social justice ideology shoved into it (and down the players' throats). It turned out that it wasn't just a rogue advertisement corporation trying to be clever, but the game was arguably an SJW game.
When the first trailer for the new Battlefield V was released, people started criticizing it for having social justice ideology undertones. The reason for this is that the Battlefield series has always been based on real World War II battles and events, and this new one was no different, with the developers previously announcing that it, too, was based on real events that happened during the war. The trailer showed a handicapped woman fighting on the frontline, in the British army. Something that never happened.
Again, it's just one trailer. Maybe they just wanted some variety and wanted a female protagonist, even though it's perhaps not completely historically accurate? Yet, comments made by people in the team were not easing the suspicions, with some of them even being incredibly arrogant, telling in an interview directly people that "we want inclusivity; if you don't like it, don't buy it".
Well, the game was published, and what do you know, the suspicions were confirmed. Battlefield V is an SJW game, pushing the SJW agenda and doing some heavy historical revisionism.
Perhaps the most egregious example of this is that the game depicts African soldiers in the French army being segregated and discriminated against, relegated to menial jobs instead of being allowed to fight alongside the other soldiers. And this is not just hinted at or made ambiguous. It's extremely on-the-nose.
That absolutely and categorically did not happen! No such thing ever happened in the French army during World War II. It's extremely insulting to the French soldiers who fought in the war!
Another egregious example of historical revisionism for the sake of identity politics is one mission that's based on real life events. In the real life event, a Norwegian commando group consisting of nine (male) soldier attacked a German complex to sabotage it.
In the game, the nine male soldiers are replaced by two women.
And no, the developers aren't even making any excuses about it. They are quite open about these changes having been made for "inclusivity".
And the thing is, there are plenty of real-life examples of women and black soldiers in World War II that they could have based their missions on, with complete accuracy. Instead, they decided to go for historical revisionism and invent discrimination that never happened, and replace historical people with women.
Not only is this obnoxious social justice ideology being shoved down the players' throats, it's insulting to the real-life people who sacrificed their lives during World War II.
