Battlefield Studios has removed the "Wicked Grin" soldier skin from #Battlefield6 after the Reddit backlash.
>>724647159And the issue is?
yeah, they'll make it pink instead
>>724647257he is blackredditors did not like that
Oh my fucking God, thank you so much for letting us know about a twitter post talking about what reddit did.Now fuck off and kill yourself.
>>724647257was too colorful or someshit to be real war uniform
They'll bring it back in 2 or 3 months.
>>724647910Reddit being based as usual. Go ahead and thank us, 4cucks.
>paying for skins so you can be spotted more easilyi literally dont understand this mindset in both bf and cod. hell in any shooter
>>724648213>implying that mattersthere are orange markers over your head 24/7
>>724648213No one can see that shit past ten meters because of LODs smeared over with vaseline anti-aliasing in modern slop games dumbass.
>>724648213I don't get why you'd buy the latest game honestly, BF4 and BF1 still have players.
>>724648545this, i love exclusively only playing on servers hosted in brazil with 300 ping
>>724647159we did it reddit!
>>724648213the majority of players paying for skins also pay for cheats so they can be as colorful as they want
>>724647159>>724647257>>724647910To be fair, the uniform looks like shit. It felt like those mobile / tablet shooter games from 2010s.
>>724648213SOVIS filter, dipshit. Look it up, your skins don't matter at all.
>>724647159Battlefield 6 proclaims itself a “gritty, modern warfare” experience. A digital crucible of realism, where bullets tear through concrete and bodies fall like wheat before the scythe. But beneath its high-fidelity textures and Dolby-tuned explosions lies a profound cultural anesthesia. The game does not depict war. It decorates it. It does not remember the dead. It replaces them.When you watch real war footage, in the trenches of Donbas, the shattered stairwells of Mariupol, the blood-slicked alleys of Aleppo, you see not a theater of diversity, but a furnace that consumes men. Not metaphorically, but literally: young men, old men, conscripts and volunteers alike, their limbs torn by shrapnel, their screams lost beneath the roar of artillery. The front line is not a place of empowerment. It is a corridor of annihilation. And it is overwhelmingly male.Yet in Battlefield 6, this reality is not merely softened. It is rewritten. The avatars who sprint through the rubble, who fall under fire, who bleed into the mud, are as likely to be women as men. This is not a nod to inclusion. It is a quiet exorcism of the masculine corpse from the cultural memory of war. It is the transformation of male suffering into a backdrop. A setpiece for a spectacle that flatters modern sensibilities.This is not a question of historical fidelity. It is a question of ethical representation. Were a video game dramatizing police brutality under the banner of Black Lives Matter to depict its victims as affluent white suburbanites, the distortion would be immediately recognized as grotesque, a moral obscenity. Yet when Battlefield 6 erases the demographic that bears the brunt of modern warfare, the press is quiet. The substitution is accepted. Even praised.
>letting reddit dictate your directionGrim.
>>724648213It's the same as going lime scout in TF2, or making your character a black woman in BFV: fuck with your opponents mental by looking as out-of-place as you can
>>724648923normgroids will rage against neon skins for breaking immersion, but not against the far greater rupture: the erasure of the male body from the crucible of combat. This is not progress. It is a cultural blind spot so vast it has become invisible. It is misandry not as hatred, but as indifference. The most insidious form of contempt.Battlefield 6 does not merely take liberties with history. It participates in a broader cultural ritual: the laundering of male trauma through the aesthetics of inclusion. It tells us that realism matters, until it doesn’t. That suffering matters, unless it is male. And in doing so, it teaches us to forget the very people who die in war, so that we may feel more progressive while being entertained.
>>724647910Wouldn't have been a problem except the guys at DICE blasted out that they were gonna keep the game and its content "grounded". If they just hadn't made any promises, no one would give a shit.
qrd on why the skin caused backlash? was it designed by a nazi or something?
looks fine to me chuds, if you dont like it then dont buy it
>>724648923
>>724649183here is the basics of it>>724649028
>>724649380it's fucking blueyou look like a power ranger running around on the battlefield
>>724649471Joke's on you I edited about 5% of it. Looks like your detection script is shite.
>>724649536erm >>724648858no one can even see it
>>724647159Welcome to the club, Blue Man
>>724649183This interview is the main one:https://www.dbltap.com/news/battlefield-6-will-avoid-goofy-crossover-skinsA lot of clickbait sites reposted their own version of this article, with the main takeaway on places like reddit being that the skins would be realistic, based on real world uniforms.DICE apparently just meant they didn't want the crazy insane clown-tier skins that Call of Duty has now, not what people assumed. Redditors and others framed this particular skin as being over the line and DICE reneging on their "promise" to keep the game "grounded". Wildly blown out of proportion, and an obvious misinterpretation of what DICE meant.
>>724648923>>724648985Is the argument here that BF6 is eroding the foundation of actual war? Woman represented in a game will result in more/less death on a real world battlefield? Will BF6 end wars by pushing an inclusive ideology?
>>724649647that's not what the filter does
>>724647257Just fucking look at it
>>724647408>he is black>redditors did not like thatbased redditors shutting down black worshipping westoid fags
>>724649750tell me you don't know what you're talking about without telling me you don't know what you're talking about
>>724649731While women usually aren't thrown away as regular infantry, there's plenty that go boots on the ground. There's US marines that work as translators and other specialized roles, and women are more represented in them because it requires more education and training than your typical crayon-eater. Those women still carry guns, get shot at, and have to kill people sometimes. But there's probably zero real women acting as your archetypal "operator".
>>724649647All other people can't see it or only you can't see it?
>NOOO THIS ARCADE SHOOTER WHERE YOU RESPAWN CONSTANTLY AND NEVER LOSE LIMBS IS UNREALISTIC YOU CAN'T HAVE WOMEN!!! AAHHHHHHHH SAVE ME!!!!
>>724650005Yes, I understood that as the premise of the post. Care to address my questions?
>>724650279No.
>>724649769based
there are so many games to play that I already got over being scammed and moved on to something else
>>724647159LOLToo slow EA, I already removed it from my game by not using it.
>half the classes are female>however this skin with blue camo? not realistic.
>>724650005Why the fuck do you care so fucking much about women when you don't even have friends, family or a gf you fucking subhuman piece of trash? What does your life gain by being this retarded? Do you just type shit based on your feelings all the time?
>>724650336Didn't think so
>>724650461>still no white male support skinits grim, I have to be some shitskin woman when im support
>>724650514>Do you just type shit based on your feelings all the time?No that is a GOOD question
>>724647159wtf? now I want it back!!!!!
>>724650514> Do you just type shit based on your feelings all the time?funny thing to say after an emotional accusation with zero foundation in facts or reality. You don't know that anon, but your feelings dictate that you call him a friendless incel
>>724647257That reddit has impact and v really doesnt and is always wrong
>>724648213Is this what you tell yourself as you call for a revive while your killer gives you a close up view of the Baby blue stitching on their gooch seam?
>>724650514I made that post, but not the other ones above in the thread. You should remember that random people are always chiming in on here. I actually am a boring normalfag with a family and stuff, and I don't even play battlefield. I'm just here to shitpost during boring virtual meetings at work.
>>724649918retardall the filter does is add a glow to the background of dark colored skins so they don't blend into the background like they did in BFVYou're still going to see the color especially when they're neon fucking blue
>>724651217>You should remember that random people are always chiming in on hereWe know, newfag. We know
>>724647159Now if they remove the chinese own kenral level malware, I might consider buying it from a second hand key site
>>724651451>waaaah let me cheat
>>724651354>You're still going to see the color especially when they're neon fucking blueIf that was true, why didn't you put in your "proof" picture?
>>724651451>kenralranjeet... you mispell it every damn time you make this postlast time you typed it as "karnel"
>>724651581probably because the skin doesn't exist in the game anymore retard
>>724651391not him but you aren't even making sense at this point. You really need to think about the shit you type instead of just sperging randomly
Did a heckin' Nazi once have a wicked grin or something?
>>724651025Zero facts? 64% of all males are friendless virgins. And this site, I have been here for years (unfortunately I was and angry incel once) and the amount of lonely retards is more or less 99%. I base all of my reasoning in facts. Shame all of your retards get so upset and start crying when I call your bullshit out.
>>724651354>hey anon, there is an option in this game that subtly highlights enemy players that makes them easier to spot, negating any use of came.>no, you retard, it only prevents enemy players from blending into the environment.
>>724651569>sar if you want to play without the cheaters on the day one like we proven wrongly then please allowing the malware sar>>724651603cool it with the ray chisms, dawg
>>724647257A mask with a skull/teeth design on it is associated with the far right
>>724651665If the skin doesn't exist in the game anymore, then why are you so upset about other people using it?
>>724651928>instantly devolving into schizo rambling about the indians you have an unhealthy obsession with the second anyone points out the only reason to avoid anticheat is you want to cheat
>>724648923that's a fancy way of saying you hate seeing women in video games
>>724651843so you're projecting and think everyone is like you? that's also just acting based on feelings, friend
>>724651892That wasn't even my original point you mongoloid My point was that the skin was fucking blue and people running around looking like edgy power rangers in what's supposed to be a military shooter is dumb as fuck>724652023(You)
>reddit is able to get companies to bend the kneewhy is 4chan unable to do this?
>>724652118>dumb as fuckGive them a break, they didn't choose to be Russian
>>724647159They're using named operators, this is bound to happen. It'll come back and they'll accept it at some point
>>724652148because this site is just browns and idf bots
If it's bad for reddit it's good for me
>>724650005Token auxiliary roles aren't the equivalent of the violation of bodily autonomy and revocation of one's life by the state that men suffer through every war.>>724649731No, what is very clearly articulated is that the suffering that is brought on by the systemic violent abuse of men through war is turned into a misandrist mockery by mainstream entertainment, and if any other demographic were to receive such treatment it would not be accepted.
>>724652118>my subjective opinion should be the objective truth and I will be as unpleasant as I can be to prove my point.Bless your grumpy heart
>>724652046>mistype word>retard thinks I'm a pajeet>bro see no you want to cheat cause like, you're not interested in malware on your PCI see, sarDo you indeed the kanaral?
>>724652118>and people running around looking like edgy power rangers in what's supposed to be a military shooter is dumb as fuckHow come the same redditors that whine about the skins breaking the atmosphere were quiet when your average team comp looked like a wine aunt book club?
>>724652567So, what is the measurable harm that is happening? How is this harm manifesting and who, specifically, is experiencing this harm. All I'm reading is that there is the potential that someones feelings could get hurt.
>>724652391Those are mvd uniforms basically used by all national law enforcement agencies in russia, they aren't exactly meant to be camouflage.
Can you play as male medics yet
>>724652961I hope you get drafted and your feelings get hurt by a drone-delivered explosive payload.
>>724648923Very eloquently put, mr LLM. Consider my mind changed. To be clear, I don't mind war shooters having women on the front lines, but only if you don't market those games as realistic. Or if you're going to do that, make sure "except for the inclusion of women" is explicitly mentioned. Otherwise it just comes off as disrespectful.
>>724649767Yep, completely on the same level as beevis and butthead lasering someone head off.Redditors are so retarded
>>724653480No one said it's the same
>>724647159Is the game worth it on sale ?
>>724647257People were happy that BF was keeping their uniforms somewhat grounded after the multi-year clownshow that CoD has been and then they said "we want the fortnite audience" anyway.It will be turned into a circus in less than a year no matter how much redditors complain because those are the cosmetics that sell. People want to buy something that makes them stand out in-game and will slurp up all the neon trash offered to them. EA only dropped one of these, the rest in the lineup still have a bunch of neon colors like green and orange. This is just an appeasement thing so people will stop giving them negative reviews and instead suck them off for "listening to the players" (they don't fucking care about you).
>>724647159>reddit is more influential than /v/how do 4cucks cope?
>>724653887/v/ put dinosaurs into battlefield.All reddit managed to do was get rid of one shitty skin.
>>724654050>1 accomplishment in 14 yearslovingeverylaugh
>>724653269I get it now, you are the victim. The harm is manifesting psychologically and it is measurable relative to childish reaction to adult questions. But do you know what is really telling? Your desire for me to be killed in war. >the suffering that is brought on by the systemic violent abuse of men through war is turned into a misandrist mockery by mainstream entertainmentWanting me to suffer the violence of war as a childish mockery of my questions. You wield values as tools and will change them as needed. Sad.
>>724649706Only good post. This whole thing is retards getting mad because reality didn't line up with the fantasy they created.
>>724654230If you view it with such gleeful indifference I don't see why you shouldn't get to play pickup with your intestines. You clearly enjoy the entertainment value of it.
>>724654524I'm laughing at the bad faith argument you presented. So sad over the suffering and violence men experience in war. So eager to play with my intestines for asking questions
>>724649769>redditors don’t know about the Arab slave trade>they also think the local rulers wouldn’t have taken slaves regardlessWhat a bunch of tards, makes this board look intelligent.
>>724654993>I am not a misandrist I'm just asking why you take issue with misandry :)You redditors have 0 wit.
>>724648923>>724648985Absolutely basedNot buying this COD sloppaRemove female soldiersRemove javelin or your gay ass TPM requirementAdd or port maps from BF3/4 that actually are large maps not wittle COD neat grinders, and actually add vehiclesOh wait, they won'tEnjoy being dead, Battlefield Rest in piss
These bf fans are so lame.They want to be milsim so bad but its just cod nowReminds of airsoft community nerds
>>724653854This is why I don't play shooter shit no more. People do not play them for the fun of the game or to be immersed enjoying a war themed mp shooter. They only want to peacock like little narcissistic faggots and I just cannot understand this absolutely faggot mindset at all. It all ties in with the cringe streamer culture as well.
>>724647408This. Only 4chongers worship the bbc
>>724655726Nice gaslighting faggot. No one wants a milsim, we don't just want dolphin diving COD sloppa, fag.AND VEHICLES, WHICH MADE BATTLEFIELD BATTLEFIELD
>>724655443Oh, it's only about misandry? The "systemic violent abuse of men through war" is fair game for mockery for everyone except misandrists? You really missed the point there, didn't you? Let me fill you in: It's not ok for ANYONE to use the suffering of men in war for causal mockery. Even you.
>>724647159Only thing they needed to remove was the Teeth on the face mask. There are army uniforms in various colors for various counties. only glaring issue was always just the teeth
>>724655905Should have made that argument about 20 years ago, anon.>inb4 pretending 2142 and 2 weren't full of dolphin diving because it's inconvenient for the narrative
>>724647159Not to defend it too much or anything but the chinese did use something similiar so i don't think it is too "unrealistic". Still looks silly like the real thing
>>724655925You should have your guts strewn about in mud because you are a cile piece of shit excuse for a human being, not because "war is funny". Glad to clear this misunderstanding up for you.
>>724656227yep I can see the resemblence
>>724656290I don't deny you want to commit violence against me. Nor do I deny that you wish to see me obliterated in the violence of war. None of this was misunderstood. I'm saying you only value "systemic violent abuse of men through war" as a weapon that you can wield against people you wish to mock. You're the "misandrist" in your own bad faith argument, but you don't have the mental capacity to understand this.
>>724649689The ones on the left are utterly retarded but at least could hypothetically have existed, (they didn't).
>>724657431monkey
>complain about this>don't complain about them subtly getting everyone to just accept no restrictions on weapons for classesI guess it makes sense, most of the people complaining about the skin are/were call of duty players
>>724658913>He doesn't use the Closed Weapon serversLooks like you're a part of your own made up problem.
>>724659129I do, but the majority do not since they made it the default mode in one of the betas then acted like that meant people preferred it so they did it in the full release too.
>>724647159So when will they allow us to play male medics
>>724659229>but other people...Let them be, enjoy playing the game mode you wish to play. The only thought you should spare for "other people" is that they will do the same.
>>724647159I'm glad they're listening to the community and keeping the game grounded and cohesive in appearance.Sadly the game is dogshit. I played the BR and it's just Apex Legends but everyone moves and reloads/uses items etc like a crippled retard. It doesn't make for a good BR and I doubt it makes a good anything else either. Kudos on the visual style though. I wish Battlefield was better than CoD in some other ways.
>>724659512I don't really care what other players are doing, I care about DICE's actions and intentions.
>>724647257
>everyone asks where the huge maps and non-nerfed destruction are>it's all in the BRWhy did they go with a BR this time around anyway? Wasn't them making a BR and bailing the reason 2042 was a hero shooter in the first place?
>>724659638>Closed weapons playlist has a countdownGrim
>>724659638>DICEThey fall under the umbrella of "other people" and will do as they wish.
>>724659691With EA losing the FIFA name and even women disliking the last dragon age they're desperate to get more live service stuff going.
>>724659818You're stupid.
>>724647257they like to pretend they are better than cod fanboys. bunch of fags acting all faggy bout nothin if you ask me.
>>724659948True, but I enjoy things a lot more than when I had all the answers. Have a good one, friend.
>>724656837>misandry is when you wish death upon misandrists*yawn*Get better material.
>>724661234>I use the same tactics as my hate mongering opponents on those who would question that these hate mongering retards have any relevant influence. It took you an hour to come up with that? lol...lmao even
>>724662152>if you kill your enemies, they win
The skin wasn't removed apparrently.
>>724659691They really really really REALLY want to break into the BR space, BFV had one too. Just chasing dead trends as usual.
>>724662950You're simple, so let me use a simple analogy:Misandry is a big Galleon, sitting in the vast ocean of society. It's crewed by misandrists who maintain the ship and keep it from sinking. But how does the ship move? Well, they could ride the currents of popular opinion. But that won't necessarily take them where they want to go. They're special and it is their responsibility to demonstrate the correctness of their beliefs. Maybe they break out the oars of strength and righteousness? No, fuck that. They're going to harness the winds of opposition. How do they do that? By hoisting the sails of uneducated opinions and emotion. It's cheap, easy, and there is no shortage of reactionary idiots ready to be the billow in their sails, like you. You've only killed their stagnation, their isolation. Blow all the hot air into their sails that you can, it won't burn any holes in them. They were made just for you.Now replace Misandry with any other social justice lost cause and you'll see how they play you into feeding them, when you could just let them starve.
>>724659573that's how i felt about apex legends coming from titanfall 2
>>724663473Shit tier bait. Didn't read. Cope some more.
>>724659573>I wish Battlefield was better than CoD in some other ways.I just want to play as the 90s turtlesfartnite allows it
>>724663696No worries, m8. I accept your surrender
>>724653887>That thing that happened when we had relevance 15 years ago!Guess this is the /v/irgin equivalent of wearing your letterman jacket at 50 years old
>>724664117>letterman jacketlol what are you 40? Why are you here?
>>724647159This has got me thinking. Why arnt there skins reflecting camo thats actually used? BF4 I know let you use a variety of irl patterns from the US and Russia. A blue Camo even exits and was used by the Navy for a while but DICE went with something gay instead. I know i would personally get a kick out of seeing more unknown patterns like Desert Night or Alpenflage in games like this
>>724664502Probably involves licensing, same reason nobody uses real world guns and gun names combined anymore.
>>724648923This pasta reeks of underage. First wargame kid?
>>724664502If I had to guess, it's probably because the camo only functions as a "fashion" choice. Since it has no utility in game, they overlook the fact that it has utility for immersion purposes. If the skins only serve as fashion, then the focus become "loud" and "aesthetically pleasing", relatively speaking.
>>724657824That's the funny thing regarding BFV. All that shit shown was based off concepts and prototypes made during the time. They did the exact same thing with 90%% of the shit in BF1. If they didn't jump the shark with the woman front and center, as well the nigger nazis, they would have got away with it.
>>724648213I like to stand out
>>724647159>tons of cool real world camo patterns exist that they could use as cosmetics>will never happen
>>724648923Well said
>>724665078>timmy camoshieeet bruh thats trash.
>>724665078the people who still work on AAA games are lefties and lefties think guns/military are icky. It's not a surprise that none of them actually know how to model accurate gear, much less care about it. They're just doing it as their 9-5 and the boss told them to make something that looks "militarish".
>>724665078>>724667409forgot pic
>>724667409>lefties think guns/military are ickylel
>>724647159How about the other half-dozen monster energy lookalike skins they just added? PR bullshit
>>724667409Still amazed at the fact that CAPCOM of all studios have a gear autist in their character design department, but such a figure is absent in AAA military shooter dev studios
>>724667501I kinda liked the skins in BFV. It was still somewhat within the setting but still stood out and looked cool. Why not go in that same direction instead of all the neon shite?Am I still able to refund? I played for around 7 hrs but all this skin fuckery and the new updates are giving me a really bad feeling
>>724647159They'll try again, they aren't capable of learning
