I for one do not like the new Call of Duty: WW2. I remember liking the trailer, seeing the guns, hearing the realistic sounds and seeing just the beautiful graphics and being awestruck. I remember watching it's worldwide reveal and I was hyped to hear them talking about how much work they put into it and how much they said that it was going to be historically accurate and I was hoping to experience the visceral combat in all it's detail.
And then I saw a multiplayer game play video on IGN and seeing something so out of place in a WW2 game that it belonged somewhere else. A black, female, German soldier. Yes, you read that right. I couldn't believe that was going to be in a WW2 game.
And before anyone says something about sexism or racism, It's not that I don't like diversity, it's just that when it's in a game that is centered on a real conflict that had happened and not in a game set in the future that's when the line is crossed. The truth is that WW2 was a war fought largely by white men and of course there were american and french units that consisted of black men and of course a small number of female Russian snipers but the numbers of them was almost minuscule in the large picture. I hate the direction games are going where diversity is so important that they put it in a game centered on a real event.
Also a little off topic here but I also do not like the direction marvel comics are going. I mean c'mon replacing Steve Rogers and Tony Stark with black, female characters is just a horrible way to alienate the fans and then calling them racists and sexists for not liking the changes, it's just embarrassing. I understand that a lot of iconic characters in marvel are white men but changing them is not a good way of implementing diversity instead what they should've done was introduce more diverse characters instead of changing the already well known characters.
