You can play as a black female Nazi.
“What we wanted to do was acknowledge the fan base that already existed,” Producer Matt Rubin told Polygon. “We have a lot of different kinds of people who play [Call of Duty] and we want them to be represented when we do character creation.”
Those who question this logic point to the fact that the game has a historical timeline based on real events. The inclusion of black women Nazis seems over-the-top, even for video game standards.
As the team at Polygon reports, “the game’s multiplayer modes, including Team Death Match and the new War Mode, will give players a wide variety of options for customizing their avatar.
All of this is interesting, but it gets even more confusing when you find out that the multiplayer version of the game has scrubbed out all of the Nazi insignia. No swastikas.
“We didn’t feel like it was appropriate there,” Michael Condrey of Sledgehammer Games said. “It’s a dark symbol and we have to be really respectful and mindful of customs and regulations of different territories and we wanted the whole community to play it together. You’ll see it in the campaign in a historical and accurate way but not in multiplayer and zombies.”

Yeah, well .. why not?
It is when it is the other way around it bothers me - you know, when someone tells us, that we cannot have a fictional character that is so and so.
By all means, let them have wiggan indian dwarf characters in their game, if they find that that will help them corer a demographic - because that is what it is about, cashing in. It is not like they propose it to be an educational game and have it become mandatory material for college students.
So .. yeah .. go crazy, Actavision.
I'm not even sure what the point of this thread is.

I see this as a clever troll. Suddenly SJW gamers not sure whether to offer applause or scorn

Only in 2017 do we see "outrage," over fictional video game sprites.
