In a separate place, where you could pretend that women doesn't exist. Now that people have to see them, fragile men start crying about realism or whatever excuse they can think of to force EA to hide women again. And that when, again, nobody cared about realism when you could have dead players in your team.
Realism is just the fake rationalization because it would be very bad to say "it's because I hate women". Some of the snowflakes crying about that haven't even realized yet that they hate women.
But it's not different (at all) from what's happening this week, where youtube channels that are showing the women's soccer games are receiving lots of misoginistic comments.
Yes. They're relegated to a separate league, where they earn infinitely less money, don't have enough prestige and fame. There's been complaints about that for years and years. Probably from before you were even born.
It's a much easier problem to fix in a game than it is to fix in real life. But when a company tries to change it in the game, there comes the snowflakes to start crying. "I'm being forced to see a woman!"
