The big Battlefield 5 reveal earlier this week was not without controversy, most of it driven by the presence of a woman on the cover of the box. And not a demure nurse watching over wounded warriors in the tranquil English countryside, no: This lady is pissed off and packing heat. As if that wasn't bad enough, another woman featured prominently in the guns-blazing debut trailer wielding a Tommy gun, a sniper rifle, and eventually, a cricket bat wrapped in barbed wire. (Yeah, it's that kind of trailer.) 

Their presence has prompted a considerable backlash from gamers concerned about the "historical accuracy" of Battlefield 5's representation of the war—never mind that such things haven't been too much of a pressing concern in previous Battlefield games, or "real war" shooters in general. There's even a #NotMyBattlefield hashtag making the rounds.
