Just a few days ago, DICE unveiled the remaining Specialists set to be playable in Battlefield 2042 come launch. One of the said Specialists revealed was Emma “Sundance” Rosier, which we can now confirm is a non-binary when it comes to gender.

Battlefield 2042 Emma "Sundance" Rosier is a non-binary Specialist confirmed by DICE. Revives will be faster & offer "better feedback" too.

I remember when the drama was about including women in Battlefield V and now this. What's next?

 

[Godot25]

Lol. Who cares about this shit in MP game?

Are some of the people willing to play this game just because shit like this?

 

[SJRB]

Your game is in fucking shambles and its mechanics broken to their very core. The beta was a PR disaster with literally thousands of youtube videos ranting about the absolute state this game is in.

How about you fix that shit first, thén tell us about your wokey of the week, okay?

 

[Stuart360]

 

[whyman]

I don't care. Just redo the whole class system without specialists and classes instead. Not for this reason but because the current system is shit.

 

[GnomeChimpsky]

What does the attack helicopter identify as?

As long as we can disable this cringey hero shit in Portal we're all good.

 

[Tangerine]

So transparently hollow too. Are these blue haired reeetards so easily placated by such a shallow character description!? Seems like just paying lip service.

"Oh wow... a non binary! Just like meee!!!11!!"

*Clicks purchase*

"Oh... Oh no...

Not like this...."

In reality most won't even buy this hot mess. Not because it's a busted shit heap of a game, but because it's not the sort of game woketards typically enjoy playing anyway.

As if this game needed any more negative light shined upon it. Deary me. Another Studio head going to be let go for this battlefield clusterfuck? Watch this space!

Now you have an excuse if you fail… toxic community.

 

[nikos]

Game’s fixed.

 

[Murdoch]

Congratulations Sundance

 

[UnNamed]

Non-binary presume there are just two genders.

These petty homophobic fuckers.

 

[CuteFaceJay]

Everyone will be playing the Portal mode by sounds of it just to go back to the classes.

 

[rolandss]

exactly what inclusive ass always wanted. A military industrial complex sim.

 

[Eron]

Binaryfield 2042.

Still not fully inclusive. Where are the furries?

 

[Perfo]

Shooting and killing other human beings as a non binary will even feel better now!

 

[jigglet]

I agree with the backlash in the last BF. There were no women in that era. It felt like some forced SJW shit.

But 2042? There very well could be non-binary people fighting. No news here, move on.

 

[Tschumi]

Lol. Who cares about this shit in MP game?

Guarantee you some people will NOT be willing to play this game because of "shit" like this, and it'll be sad in either case

 

[Marvel]

Idc, it's a mp game.

Don't even know what non binary means and no I cba to learn via Google lol.

 

[TVexperto]

What the fuck is up with DICE doubling down on specialists? We want GENERIC SOLDIERS (DONT CARE IF MEN WOMEN OR NON BINARY) ... i just want the old classes system back

 

[Lukaku's First Touch]

She's clearly a woman.

 

[Insane Metal]

I don't even know what that means tbh

 

[cormack12]

Again, why do people need to be told this? You have a multiplayer character, if you want to sit there and make up imaginations in your head about how you are Emma, the non binary soldier kicking ass on a battlefield then do it. Why do you need a CEO somewhere saying yeah let's tell them that they are to get them to buy this game. Hilarious.

 

[Boss Mog]

I don't even know what that means tbh

Neither does anybody else.

 

[N1tr0sOx1d3]

I don't care. Just redo the whole class system without specialists and classes instead. Not for this reason but because the current system is shit.

I’ve never played much BF. What’s the difference between class and specialists please? Thx in advance!

 

[Godot25]

Guarantee you some people will NOT be willing to play this game because of "shit" like this, and it'll be sad in either case

We have come a long way. From choosing a MP character because of abilities to choosing a MP character because she is non-binary

Fuck it that she is underpowered as hell and useless... Because she is non-binary.
I hope DICE will also include 25 pronouns before her name

 

[Boss Mog]

I really suspect this is the reason why DICE insisted on having specialists despite fans not wanting them at all. Because if you just have a generic create a class soldier, you can't virtue signal about how woke you are with your lgbt specialists.

 

[Kimahri]

We need to ban the use of they/them, it's an atrocious insult to simple and understandable language. Don't get me wrong, if people want a pronoun because they view themselves as non-binary, whatever, I don't care, do what you like. But find a word that doesn't already mean something else!

Jesus christ, I'm getting a headache every time I read something where someone who uses "they" is mentioned. I get so confused, because for the longest time I think we're talking about several people, and then gradually it dawns on me that we're dealing with one person. It's not getting any bettter when whoever writes the article can't even keep their tongue straight and goes back and forth between her/they etc.

Have your pronouns, but stop fucking up language. We have a hard enough time understanding each other as it is.

 

[Kittehkraken]

I'm still over here waiting for another game like 1942 and 1943.

 

[McCheese]

What's their perk?
Stunning and brave grenades?

 

[nightmare-slain]

 

[KaiserBecks]

I don‘t see the problem with the representation of all kinds of people in the game. It‘s set in the near future, so it makes sense ‍♂
In BF V it felt forced.

 

[Arun1910]

I think a lot of people here are missing the "point" of this.

It isn't to entice these people to buy games, no one buys a game because of reasons like this. I wouldn't just go out and randomly buy games with a Brown character just because they "look like me". The point is just to have diversity in games.

It doesn't affect anyone who doesn't care about this stuff in any way whatsoever, it isn't a big deal.

 

[Concern]

She's clearly a woman.

You have the audacity to assume "their" gender? Someone ban this mf



/s

 

[The_Mike]

Just as I thought these swedes could stop their madness for one second, but they just can't take a break.

 

[SoggyBiscuit]

I just wouldn't feel comfortable on the battlefield knowing there isn't someone alongside me who doesn't conform to gender norms. That's the most important thing when in a war.

 

[GymWolf]

Can't wait to get the perk ammo fluid to reload the weapon faster.

 

[Boss Mog]

I just wouldn't feel comfortable on the battlefield knowing there isn't someone alongside me who doesn't conform to gender norms. That's the most important thing when in a war.

Except that it's not a war, it's a videogame. And knowing anything about the digital soldiers in a battlefield game is completely out of place and irrelevant to gameplay. Nobody asked for this, in fact fans specifically said they didn't want specialists, but DICE ignored them solely for the purpose of virtue signaling.

 

[M1chl]

Still waiting to some material which explains to me, what "non-binary" actually means. Nowadays is almost feels like inclusion of trans people are almost a conservative approach... Whatever. gaming avatars is nothing more than just a 2 hands, gun.

I always cringed, how people were talking about Overwatch characters, as if they were somewhat more developed. I like to play this autistic character, because.... Yeah.

I definitely like representation, that people can play with character which they identify with, however more often than not it's nothing more that cringy virtue signalling with zero substance.

 

[Winter John]

Seriously with all the problems Battlefield has, this is what's got your panties in a bunch?

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Why?

 

[Concern]

Seriously with all the problems Battlefield has, this is what's got your panties in a bunch?

You could also say "with all the problems Battlefield has, this is what they rather prioritize?"

 

[Airbus Jr]

Man the sjw propaganda by the western developer is insane theyre really pushing hard for this man

"Non binary able to revive faster and better feedback"

Theyre trying to push the narrative that non binary/ or trans ? Are superior human being than women/men ?

Why should a certain gender be superior than the 2 others in a game? What message theyre trying to conceive by pulling this moves?

By ignoring that question alone theyve admiting they are racist

Glad i wont be taking any part with this game

 

[Y0ssarian]

I didn't give a shit about their gender or lack thereof until they start doing shit like this. Specialist is non-binary? Who cares? Their skin/'character' is going to die billions of times over the lifespan of the game, they're literally a throwaway

 

[Flutta]

I’m ashamed to be a swede.

Think glam era David Bowie, only even more committed to the idea of androgyny, and feeling that way when it comes to how you think of your gender. That's probably an imperfect explanation, but it's a simplified one.

Yeah, I was thinking something along those lines, but it's easy for me to understand trans-people, because in my mind I guess being in wrong body sort of make sense. But non-binary/genderfluid, seems more like being bi-polar than actual gender. But alas some people really look like they can't be really put inside man/woman box. Just by the look. But in that case I feel that Dice did a shit job with the character...

 

[farmerboy]

This is so ridiculously stupid, it's not even funny.

 

[Jadsey]

Seriously with all the problems Battlefield has, this is what's got your panties in a bunch?

This.

I don't really care...if it sells a few extra copies and makes the developers feel like special cupcakes, so what?

What I do care about is the trial weekend I played was an utter shitshow not worthy of the Battlefield name.

 

[FingerBang]

I don't even know what that means tbh

Oh, it's simple, really! The idea is that gender is a social construct, and therefore men and women are so only because society shapes up in a certain way. A non-binary person, is someone that does not identify with the stereotypical role of man/woman and is outside of that binary! It's part of the big trans umbrella family! ...is what woke people will tell you.

Non-binary, translated from Woke-ese, means they (grammatically correct, not woke pronoun) are basically either a not very feminine woman (most likely) or a non-masculine guy. It basically is a way to get oppression points, being able to say bullshit like "I'm trans", instead of accepting that you're white and so middle-class your mother only shops at whole food. On top of that, it shits on the notion that men and women are not strict concepts and that you can suck a dick or not like sports and still be a man or hate kids and not wanting to put makeup on and still be a woman.

Personally, I believe and respect trans people (not trans activists), but I don't believe non binary people are real. I believe they're not different from being a metalhead or being goth, it's what alternative kids do nowadays to get noticed. It's also a political statement. There are no right-wing non-binary people. You have gay/lesbian/trans conservatives, but no non-binary people. Huge red flag.

Imagine being a regular young black woman playing games and just wanting a character that looks like you and you can relate to but every time game devs include a black female character they make her look like a uruk-hai, gay and have attack helicopter pronouns
