Title speaks for itself. Did they honestly cherrypick toxic comments to try and create a rallying cry against a problem that the devs created and then fueled with their own comments? This kind of thing is mind blowing and I’m convinced DICE/EA is hell bent on digging themselves into a hole and won’t stop till they reach the center of the earth.
Seeing as how niche terms like “Soy Boy” are blocked in chat, it wouldn’t surprise me.
I like it. People are upset about this because they don’t like it when a company says ¯_(ツ)_/¯ you back. If this upsets, you, then show it with your money, and time will tell if they made a mistake that can’t be recovered from.
Hahahaha… They are hardcore trolling for sure! 
How many “Femenazis” play BF though? 14 at best? Surely they gained a few with the marketing. It’s just so hilarious that a company would pretend that 90% of their consumer base WASN’T straight males that are into internet meme culture.
Its sad. Why is Dice so disrespectful and contemptuous ? Can they just respect people who disagree with their choices ?
Its their games, they are free to make what they want. But they could at least show some respect fore those who are disappointed with the lack of historical accuracy.
Its definitely not an inclusive attitude.
This isn’t really a case of the company saying " you" back. This is the equivalent of a grown adult plugging their ears when they’re told they made a mistake and going “LALALALALALALA” to pretend it’s a nonissue. Or better yet, it’s like an echo chamber they’ve created that provides a false image of the situation while misinterpreting the problems with the game that the developers are responsible for.

And I’m seriously debating it. I paid $15 for Origin Premier or whatever to try Battlefield V. It’s slightly above mediocre IMO, but EA/DICE’s stances and constant poor choices are making me more inclined to just pull my card from the subscription and do/play something else.
It’s clearly not the equivalent of plugging their ears given they have literally put comments on a wall that sum up what most people’s problem with BFV were. They aren’t pretending it’s a non issue either. They acknowledge what was said, and they still don’t give a ¯_(ツ)_/¯.
It’s simple.
Now me? Well this doesn’t affect me because I don’t give ¯_(ツ)_/¯ about SJW or Anti SJW culture.
If they didn’t give a damn, then they wouldn’t continue bringing it up in varying ways as some sort of misconstrued rallying cry of equality. And regardless, if it is them just mocking and/or telling fans to off, then I finally agree with those stupid “Worst Company in the World” thing that EA keeps winning. I’ve defended EA constantly and loved many of their games. But after the mediocrity of Battlefield V and the horribly tone deaf and belligerent behavior of EA and DICE I’m hard pressed to give them a second thought.
Mmm. Delicious.
I said they don’t care about the negativity surrounding certain “choices”, in regards to their approach to WWII. Regardless, do what you want. I didn’t get Battlefront 2 because EA went too far, if you think BFV is your game to boycott, then do just that.
Why are people so adamant on giving a ¯_(ツ)/¯ about this. Just play the game. Don’t like it then play something else man. No one is forcing you to play. Why does this have to even be a discussion. Its like we don’t care about anything other then drama that we blow up to seem like its end of the world ¯_(ツ)/¯. This in no way ruins the game. Bugs, glitches and exploits do. Stop hating and be glad you shoot ¯_(ツ)_/¯ s!
So now you’ve taken the “Soy Boy” thing to another thread after you posted a thread dedicated to it.
SMH…You’re going to lose sleep over it aren’t you?
I’m still trying to work out the point of this thread; the screenshots seem to show live quotes of the hashtag handle.
Wtf has this got to do with anything especially if it was a launch party event? It’s December.
Like are you seriously trying to find something to be offended about or what? Why the flying fish are you looking up a launch party event? To try and manufacture something to rage about?
Why not show us every photo and video of the event then instead of cherry picking two images that suit what you want to carry on about.
Two sides coin op.
Because how a company conducts business and how they treat their fanbase correlates to happiness and support in their products? And at this point it’s quite clear that the marketing and PR disaster of Battlefield V has caused them to take a hit off of Battlefield 1. They could try to move on and improve things, but instead they seem to dwell and continue stoking the flames that have already burned them. It’s like the Diablo Immortal devs being so out of touch with their fanbase that they had the audacity to ask “Don’t you guys have phones?” to the crowd.
.
At the end of the day, if you make a good enough game, most of this stuff doesn’t matter. But Battlefield V is one of the worst reviewed Battlefield games ever, the sales took a huge hit, and there’s a lot of problems that many players will attest to. So throw all that on top of their terrible PR and community relations and it’s really just a no win situation.
I don’t agree with it at all. What i don’t get though, is DICE could have made a more modern shooter based on a war that has not happened yet, and no one would have blinked an eye. They probably would have received more acclaim by doing so as it would have seemed a more ‘genuine’ attempt. Instead they insisted on the WW2 route and botched the PR badly.
Regardless, I am enjoying the game but i wouldn’t be honest if i didn’t say that having the inaccuracies rubbed in your face every minute doesn’t s*** me.
Because this was apparently behind closed doors and the photos just surfaced on Reddit a few hours ago. This may not be a problem if DICE were a bit more transparent about things in general, but alas.
There just digging the hole deeper for themselves. I guess they really like the negative press.
I’m starting to enjoy the complete melt downs people are having over girls being in the game.
Dice should put Colin Kaepernick in the next game. :D:D:D
The funny thing is, people made such a big deal about it, but in game there are female characters everywhere.
