Comment by betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world on EA Responds to Concerns About Men and Women Playing Together in FC 24 Ultimate Team Mode

Tldr: The mode is meant to be a fantasy and that players should turn to EA Sports FC 24’s Kick Off mode for a more realistic experience.

There’s an alternate universe where this article was never written because people there didn’t lose their minds over whether their video game pixels had a penis or vulva concealed by their clothes.

Sure, I wasn’t aware that the addition of the Ultimate Team mode removed the ability to play in a way more closely resembling the real-world sport though. Care to point out where they’ve stated that those other modes will no longer be available?

I understand that’s not your point but don’t see why it’s worth the sort of frothing-at-the-mouth anger it provokes from the internet peanut gallery. Maybe that doesn’t describe you though. I can’t argue with your inner cynic’s search for ulterior motives, corporate tools will do corporate tool things. If you disagree with their decisions, don’t give them your money.

Why would it need ITS OWN game?! I promise you made a half naked girl when you tried lost Ark and didn’t bitch back then.

Just imagine its Diego Forlan playing and you’ll be alright.

In fact, the article very much states as much explicitly:

The publisher responded to arguments that it was unrealistic by explaining that Ultimate Team mode is meant to be a fantasy and that players should turn to EA Sports FC 24’s Kick Off mode for a more realistic experience.

Be it Reddit or be it the Fediverse, people are too busy with their opinion on the title to read the article behind it.

It does. Play the mode where it does. It also has this mode where all players can be on the same team. How can more options be bad? Just opt to play how it is in the real world if that’s what you want.

I hate that we humans are so dumb most of the time. Just let people have choices. Why are female and male characters able to raid together in wow? Why does a female bloodelf maintank have as much HP as a male tauren? Never seen that discussion.

Pretend that women don’t exist and that you’re seeing long-haired men, if a fake character’s sex is that important to you.

But I’m pretty sure this is one of those cases where the simulation is not the real reason at all. It’s just an ingrained prejudice against women. No one is complaining that dead characters being in there ruins the simulation.

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.

Well, it does. In the non-fantasy mode.
