Tryhard Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 "Total War games are historically authentic, not historically accurate — if having female units upsets you that much you can either mod them out or just not play.” Any game that skews history and changes facts to fit their political correctness and CULTURAL MARXIST world view should be boycotted. What used to be an excellent and somewhat historically accurate empire building strategy game has been taken over by the same leftist tech loons that are rife on Twitter and Facebook skewing history in order to fit their political agenda. Erasing "white men" from games and replacing them with "women of color" to suit your agenda like Total War has done is nothing more than a means to technologically commit genocide. This kind of thing should be illegal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaMonkey Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Despite being in FftF, I can't tell if you're being serious about this or not… Anyway, this is like the "Women didn't fight in WW2" controversy that people are complaining about in Battlefield V, right?

Von Ithipathachai Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 What the heck is "authentic" supposed to mean in this context? *facepalm* Good grief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acacia Sgt Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 (edited) Why is this on FotF? Some sort of precaution? Personally, there's plenty of fiction where we can go wild with unrealistic stuff. For something that is meant to be authentic or emulate it... yeah, there's a time and place, and I don't think it's for those. For something like the Roman era... well doing a quick search bring me up times Romans fought against women (in Lusitania, with the Bracari, with the Ambrones, etc), though yet to find something about female generals...

Dragoncat Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 (edited) Maybe they're Amazons? Those existed in Roman times right? Or was that just Greek? Edited October 1, 2018 by Dragoncat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Romans would call practically every women warriors they fought as Amazons. So perhaps, yes, the game has amazons, if not Amazons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Is this satire? It's in FftF, so I have to wonder. I sure hope it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingle Jangle Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Please note that I have never played a Total War game, that being said from my understanding the Total War Series were trying to historically authentic with a minor bit of fantasy. But saying stuff like " just not play" is pouring more fuel to the fire. Just look at Battlefield 5 and got it got delayed due to the lack of interest of the game. With it may not be directly due to the comments of one of the developers saying that a front line paraplegic female solder is a "plausible scenario" is debatable.

If you wanna sound like you're genuine and not just trying to make a side look bad, you might wanna sound less... extreme for lack of a better term.

Acacia Sgt Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 For the record, there is right now some kind of controvery regarding the game. I found some info here.

There was like a 2 day period when that whole GamerGate thing was getting started and I was like, "Maybe there's something to this", but once it was made pretty clear that no, those dudes just hated women, I quickly distanced myself from it. If he was still with them after that, I don't know what to say. But here he's reposting a Steam meme, which makes me think he's having a laugh.

If he's just joking, this really isn't the way to do it because it's hard to tell if he's joking. It's pretty thoughtless to joke about something like this anywhere, but especially on an inclusive site like this. It's one thing that we have silly spam threads, but it's another story with this kind of subject matter. Part of what makes it so insidious is that the actual GG/alt-right strategy involves playing these things up like it's just a joke, as way to dodge disciplinary moderation, downplay their involvement in a movement (if any), and normalize the ideas presented. If he's serious, then he can take the boys club bullshit elsewhere. Either way, this thread is due to close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's never really that simple. I've consistently been left-leaning my whole life, but at one point I was so hardcore about gun rights that I believed people should be able to bring them into public places (Montana's extremely hardcore about gun rights, even in liberal communities). And even though I am still left-leaning in general, there are a lot of things some of my leftist Facebook friends say that make me want to smack my head against a wall until I forget that they were even my friends to begin with. Which I suppose goes to show how much of "friends" they really are to me.

Gender and race politics, on the other hand, are so intertwined with the overall social politics of each party right now that it's harder to imagine somebody going "I'm a huge liberal... but goddammit the brown people are causing the SJW media to commit white genocide."
