Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War Gender Options Make Me Uncomfortable
Added 2020-12-23 13:01:00 +0000 UTCCall of Duty Black Ops Cold War was the first Call of Duty game to feature a nonbinary gender option... and while that is amazing, it still makes me uncomfortable. Let's talk about why.

Although I don’t condone the whitewashing of history, it kind of reminds me of the casino heist episode of Deep Space Nine (just finished my first watch through of that series, so good). We don’t yet have hundreds of years of distance from the Reagan years, but filtering the “fun” parts of the Cold War through a progressive lens so that we can all better enjoy them may be... I don’t know. I guess that’s always going to be a problem with historically-based games that aren’t explicitly intended to be accurate. 🖖
