I think this whole issue about the Russian scout being female is something that both sides get to touchy about, however, having said that, I do not like the inclusion of the Womens Batallion at all. I have several reasons for it, and I know I will be called a sexist or a racist or whatever by some people and to those people I wish them well and I hope they have more to offer other than immature SJW name calling. Anyway, I understand that DICE wants to include for ethnicities into the game and thats fine. The Sikh medic, I never had a problem with (Though I’d like for him to have some epic beard), the black scout in the American army I dont have an issue, the black french assault makes sense, and the british black scout its meeh for me. However, I do have issues with the black german scout and cavalry man, and I will have an issue with the Russian scout too, the reasons are. It demeans the sacrifices made by brave men in a very bloody and often understudied front of the war; Over 11 million MEN fought in the eastern front, only 5,000 women served in a battalion that was nothing more than mere propaganda and didn’t even fight well. To have even have one class be female is an insult to the 11 million men that fought in it, especially since the battalion wasn’t like the Harlem Hellfighters case, which actually served with bravery and it wasn’t a propaganda tool at all. Its obviously pandering to the feminist demands; I remember the outrage from the feminist community over no female soldiers on the base game, I was actually glad this was the case, even though the game has things like experimental weapons and a lack of trench warfare, that is for game play mechanics that don’t break the immersion and authenticity. We even have back to basics mode as an alternative, and more trench maps coming soon, (Hopefully). But to add female soldiers just for the sake of diversity is something that completely breaks the authenticity of the game, no women would be fighting among men in ww1, its just not believable. And even though many people are being called conspiracy theorist or Alt Right for saying this; its obviously just a way to pander to the feminist outspoken minority, when you put it all together DICE is a Swedish developer, and I hate to stereotype but Sweden right now its either famous or infamous for its approach to diversity. Diversity is great, just not forced diversity. Anyway, thats all I have to say, I hope people can be civil in the thread and stuff and we can do a good conversation. ---

I think the whole problem with the female scout is people want to complain just to complain. If the character gets your panties in a wad, then there’s really only one solution that needs to be implemented… It’s called “GET OVER IT!” and I mean that as civil as possible. 😄 ---

I intend to solely play as a woman scout once the DLC drops. ---

> [@ErcSt97](#): > > Its obviously pandering to the feminist demands. Yes you’re right, these forums are just littered with threads created by pushy feminists shoving their views down our throat. It seems like I can’t go two steps without running into another angry social justice warrior. OH WAIT. Please, no more of these threads. ---

The funny thing about all this is if we were given the option to play as male or female with any class, 100% of the complainers would choose female. Look at any other online game that gives you the option, almost every female character you see is a male player. ---

> [@BoWinston](#): > > In b4 Hardaimed kid calls you racist. If he is against a female scout shouldn’t I call him sexist? @OP the battalion of death didn’t fight well, but they fought and some died nonetheless, so you’re saying since they aren’t important enough to history and world war 1 that they shouldn’t be in the game. Since you’re such a ww1 historian why don’t you work for dice and tell them how they should do the Russian dlc? @BoWinston race and sex are 2 different things, I would think you’d be smart enough to know this. I’ll say once again, if a video game character model gets your panties in a knot so bad that you need to see it changed, the problem is with you. Whether they be black, female, purple or alien.. People are people and that’s a fact. You only make yourself look bad and align yourself in a certain light letting such things bother you. ---

Yep it’s another of those threads which basically says > [@](#): > > I don’t like _insert race or gender here_ even though I won’t see it if I am the chosen race/gender So with that said.. /Thread
