How does it feel to know this fantastic looking game is probably going to sell at least 1000 copies for everyone who cares about "lol the woman is the flag sexist conspiracy confirmed"?
As I've said before, I don't care, I'm just not going to buy it. Also :lol: at you calling that fake as hell trailer that didn't contain a single minute of real gameplay footage a "fantastic looking game."

Rainbow 6: Siege had a helpless woman hostage as the 'flag' in a fight between the the terrorists/counterterrorists in a 5 on 5 match.

It would be easier to associate the hostage as an actual person if the hostage didn't, you know, sit in one spot after being dropped and never say a thing ever. Like a flag.

Hostages, and people in general, don't just sit in one place and say nothing during times of extreme duress. Clearly, priority was given to the voice overs and how important it was to keep tabs on Havoc instead.

Actually, that's a terrible idea, because then that only makes it even more obvious that Women are worthless. They're so worthless they're not into any game.

The solution is to not have gender in media, period.

All games are about robots now. Problem solved.

The SWAT team should just rescue breasts without a woman attached so there aren't any mixed messages.

Great, then kids will grow up thinking breasts are just worthless objects.

It would probably be smart to wait and be sure hostages aren't just "totally randomly generated NPC" that can be either male or female before getting all up in arms about it but video games are serious business and all

And then kids will see Lara kill countless men with her bow and arrow and go around assuming all women are violent killing machines who will kill any man on sight with no hesitation. There should just be no women at all in video games so the kids don't get confused.

Actually they will probably just see Lara getting impaled through the jaw in graphic detail for every death scene cause those devs really loved those graphic death scenes in the last game.

Honestly most of the autistic poors who would act against women because of media should probably be worried about cops kicking in their doors at 3am and if a video game wants to reinforce that in their retarded little brains I'm okay with that

Gee it's almost like the hostage was traumatized or something and didn't feel like small talk about the weather with her rescuers. If she talked there would be people up in arms about how the game teaches kids the stereotype that women talk too much and never shut up or something.

Well in an ideal world we wouldn't be genderless, it would simply hold no social sway with us at all. Removing gender from media just hides from the issue, and means we'd never learn to disregard it. Something something suppression something something Freud.

Or, you know, it's just a CTF match where the flag is given a makeover to look more in line with the game than having a giant flag, and asking why they don't wriggle around or jump in front of guns while screaming is stupid no matter what position you take on the matter.

It's extremely cool that an E3 tviv thread has turned into a serious discussion of gender politics and police / military media portrayals. This is great and not at all horribly loving stupid.

I'm still feeling kind of bad about the fact that this whole SJW derail was caused by my throwaway comment that that Rainbow Six: Bringing Back the Gameplay from Counterstrike circa 1998 edition trailer looked just as dumb as the BF: Hardline one from EA, by the way.
