And what about women of colour!? Ofc a game forum full of alt-right wehraboo white boy basement dwellers would only want to send white women to die under fascist guns but if you lot can check your privilege, maybe you'll be able to enjoy the full rainbow diversity of REALITY!

Every patch for past two years was the last one. So you never know what is going to happen.

But even if there is one more patch coming, it most probably won't feature female partisans. I can't imagine relic fixing eyes bug, so they would have to make a separate squad that can't recrew weapons out of them. Which is simple and can be done with mod tools, but do we really need a squad like that?

I mean I understand the idea behind shooting women in war is pretty brutal, but if it was already in the game ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

IMO shooting anyone in war is pretty brutal. Bullets and shells aren’t sexist; they do the exact same thing to male and female tissue and we’re all humans.


I actually feel more touched by the voices of machine operators as they seem to be in despair, screaming for help. Snipers and partisans seem to die in a strong resolve to take as many nazis as possible with them, like heroes.

This is nothing though, in impossible creatures, which is another relic game, you could kill endangered species like dolphins or killer whales. I wonder how their charity likes that :snfPeter:



What if I tell you that if there is no women among partisans then they must be homosexual? :bananadance:

I always felt really bad for vehicle crews when they died. Maybe it’s the fact that they have dedicated voices lines that play when they die, but it just seems so much more awful to go up in a fuel/ammunition explosion in your own vehicle and some of the lines even reference trying to escape the vehicles (which is obviously never successful with anyone but the rare usf ditch).

Personally I’d rather take a bullet to the head or even lungs/thigh/other lethal area.

No kidding but if you ask most people who would you rather shoot, women and children or men I bet most would most would say men.

True true. I agree with that statement a lot actually, but it’s still the same end result and the same action. Also this is one of the times where it’s sort of historically accurate as I think there were a decent number of cases of female partisan fighters. I don’t feel real strongly about the whole “women in historical video games” debate but I just wanted to point out that shooting a man is still shooting a person just as much as shooting a women is still shooting a person.

Also, female Soviet snipers are still getting shot in coh2.

Yes, men are treated more or less disposable in reality. Fun world ain't it!?

In the strictest utilitarian manner, it does make logical sense. 100 men and 1000 women would repopulate sooner than 100 women and 1000 men ignoring monogamy.

And that is why I will always decry war. I prefer my expendability to not come up.

Shooting women and children is considered more of a crime than men becouse they are usually not armed. If a woman is armed like a man, in this case she is a partisan fighter, tank driver or a sniper, there is no difference. You would not think about killing a women any time longer than about killing a man if you knew she wants to kill you and she would if you gave her a chance.

As for utilitarism, it of course makes sense, but subconciously peoople don't think using such categories. Following the same example, utilitarism would consider a life of country intelligence more important than working class. But if you ask random person, they won't see much difference, they will tell you that killing a man is just killing a man, no matter if he is educated or not.
