and it isn t the women , are the dialogues too, i smell woke in every aspect of the game, like the women always have to have the last word and right in the conversations, it really makes me genuinly mad
I'm not going to get into politics but I'm one of the least woke developers, if not the least, you'll ever find.
Of all the complaints I've ever seen about the game, this is one I never expected.
Football okay fair enough, it should be male football. Very few people in the UK care about women's football and unless its a major final involving England nobody watches it, I'll give you that. But it isn't a woke reason behind that, its completely based on finances and practicality. I only had football kits that fit female models when I started in 2019, nearly all the character's I'd bought for SoM were female, and I wanted to put some sport on the TV. At the time I was making this at the start I had a budget of about $200 a month, so going out and buying a load of male figures and football kits just to use as TV filler in the background absolutely wasn't a concern or a priority for me, so that's why they're women. They're recycled characters I already had using the same kits the girls wore in SoM.
In the last ten years the UK has had, multiple female Home Secretaries (May/Patel/Braverman - in charge of all things Police/Immigration etc), two female Prime Ministers (May and Truss), a female Foreign Secretary (Truss - Second most important position in Government) and a female Head of London's Police (Cassandra Dick). During that time the "right wing" party in the UK has been in power the entire time.
So its not "woke" to include women in powerful positions in the game if I'm trying to make it somewhat realistic, that's just how things are.
Just an fyi referencing Cecelia, Army Lawyers in the UK start at the rank of Captain. You're not in charge of troops in combat like an Infantry Captain, but you're still a Captain. I've never been in the military, but I'd imagine a Legal Corps Captain would not hold any respect whatsoever from anybody when it came to a combat scenario, despite them being a Captain. I'd imagine they'd probably be one of the first evacuated so they didn't get in the way, but again I can't say that for certain.
