I honestly don’t get it. Women hardly ever fought in this war. This war literally had almost nothing to do with women, and yet here I boot up a game with some comical Rambolina title screen. I preferred the black guy, even though blacks rarely fought in this war as well. But at least it was some semblance of meaning related to WW1. How man women fought in WW1? Basically, it was mostly Russia that employed a few women, and these groups were not very good at what they set out to do. They had no bearing on the war whatsoever and were disbanded within a year for the most part. Yet here we are with a women on the title of the game representing what must be a war heavily dominated by women. I just don’t get it. I know some people are going to get into a tizzy about this question, but it is an honest question. I thought the title screens were going to change again. And yet here we are again. ---

Why is this such big of a deal? It’s just a loading screen. ---

The new DLC is not there yet maybe. As about why they chose to put the lady in the title screen, it is probably because it is fashionable these days to put women forward in popular media. _cough_ Last Jedi _cough_ ---

It’s just a loading screen is not the point. The point is that the image is not realistic in the slightest sense really. There were a few bands of women fighters in Russia mostly for propaganda. Making them out to be these combat savages like the title screen is mostly preposterous and pandering to some kind of lady FPS demographic that barely exists. I just want a new image. I’ve booted this game up for months with this image, and I don’t like it. It does not represent the war. It does not represent who fought in the war. At all. ---

The weird teeth is what makes me dislike it. I hope they change it to the guy on the Apocalypse cover art when that DLC drops. ---

I agree, not a huge deal for me, because I enjoy this game a lot anyway, but it just smacks of liberal social justice warrior tryhards in their bubbles of Stockholm and Los Angeles. The British Royal Marines look bada\*\* and would’ve been a great time to switch to one of them for the loadout screen, but no, they keep the woman on because DICE is part of the resistance! LMAO. ---

Would’ve been cool to have a big burly sailor a la Jean Paul Gaultier ads, but _shrug_ does it really matter? ![212181468205fbec62c08ea84c1d3808.jpg](https://battlefieldforum.co/uploads/default/original/3X/d/5/d5b54773a637268e655748fb6402158ad4f09136.jpeg) ---

Let’s start with an obvious thing: BF1 is a game BASED on WW1 events. It’s not 100% historically accurate representation and not even close to be realisctic with all those weapon prototypes and stuff. And possible removal of females and blacks won’t make it “realistic” at all. And again, it’s just a loading screen in fps game where you can’t even see the model of your playable character just hands. Also, I’m sure there are more important things to do instead of replacing one character on a screen with another. ---

You would have been better off asking why it hasn’t changed in general along with the DLC rather than put the white knights and SJW warriors on high alert. Some girl they’re pining for may be reading the comments. ---

Well it’s time to replace the stale loading title screen lol. I’m not saying I didn’t enjoy the image at first. But it’s had its time. Time to move on now. This war had very little to do with women. ---

Battlefield 1 isn’t even a remotely realistic depiction of WW1, so who cares? ---

> [@Chubzdoomer](#): > > Battlefield 1 isn’t even a remotely realistic depiction of WW1, so who cares? That doesn’t solve anything. That doesn’t solve my problem. I don’t even know why you issued the response. Yes, the game is somewhat realistic and immersive. There is no reason to have a russian chick on the title screen, and there really never was in the first place. I get it appeal to minorities yadda yadda. I’m a bit tired of it though. Hey, get a new title screen of some other woman. There ya go! I’m honestly just sick of that title screen. ---

I agree with OP. The woman is not realistic. They should put the magic, “Bring you back from the dead after your organs were exploded by dynamite” syringe on the title screen. For realism. ---

I think they put emphasis on things and groups like Harlem Hellfighters and Women’s Battalion of Death because it shows a contrast and something different to the image we have of WW1 being British and Germans sitting in trenches taking pot-shots and going over the top. They focused on the lesser known parts of WW1 like the Eastern Front, the Middle East and the weird prototype guns, as well as including things we associate with WW1 like Bolt-Actions, revolvers and slow and creeping tanks. It’s WW1, but made for a video game with the weird little details given prominence. ---

It’s not just about being realistic. There are plenty of realistic things in this game like terrain and stuff. We all know it is a game. That is not the point. The point is this Russian chick has been on the title screen for literally decades. It’s time to change it up at this point. One because she has been there for WAY too long. And two because she absolutely does not represent the war really at all in any major way. So she was fine for a bit with the Russian DLC they had some limited engagements with women, but now it’s time to move on. Put some other minority up there I don’t care. Put an Ottoman up there. Just change the damn image lol. ---
