@MasterEnki I would pretty much agree with you on most of what you said. Its the main reason why I left a regular college and doing online now. I really got tired of all the feminism and SJW non-sense that kept on getting slipped into my lessons and it didn't even matter what kind of course it was. Heck, even in an actual hard science like biology I had to deal with this stuff. I literally had a biology professor talking about some so called third gender in Mexico. It had gotten to the point where I felt like I wasn't learning anything because when it came to a choice of teaching actual knowledge and skills or pushing an agenda the teachers always chose the latter. I just got tired of it and even the implication that me as a male are inherently toxic. That I have toxic masculinity and therefore I need to make up for it by acting like a "Good beta male".
As for the things I disagree with slightly, Honestly, I no longer believe in , for both men and women, universal suffrage. I would rather have a system right now where if you are a net tax payer (give more to the government than you take out in the form of welfare or services) then you get the right to vote. If you aren't a net tax payer then you don't get to vote. There is too much of a conflict of interest when you have people who are receiving benefits can vote for people who will increase those benefits while contributing nothing in return. It funny because we hate conflict of interest between governments and businesses but when it comes to conflict of interests involving your average Joe we turn a blind eye.
Also have to agree with @"kingpill" this whole over emphasis on protecting people's feelings is just going to make people weak then they will not be prepared for the real world, which doesn't give a damn about your feelings.
@apollolux I do agree to a extent. There has been major ill will that has developed even before Battle Front 2. Its just that battle front 2 is probably the most recent mistake EA had made. I wouldn't count out the backlash though, and I doubt all the comments I'm seeing are cover. I will admit though the whole controversy was probably a bit smaller when it was just about the historical accuracy component. What made it bigger though was when the main EA/DICE developer, in response, called all those people who felt iffy about this whole thing "uneducated" and told them if "They don't like it don't buy it". I'm sorry but that is one of the stupidest things you could do to people in that community. You don't just say that to potential paying customers unless you like losing money.
In many ways this is very similar to the whole Star wars thing. Many, many people didn't like the last Jedi (which also had a lot of SJW, feminist non-sense in it and treated the original characters like shit). Now had it just ended there I don't think things might have gotten as bad (though it was still pretty bad). Its when you had Kathleen Kennedy and Rian Johnson adding gasoline on the fire. Basically, insulting fans and people ,who in general didn't like the movie, all the time. This led even more to the boycott of Soylo, which I took part in as well. If there is anything we could learn from both the Disney and EA/DICE controversy it is don't insult and ridicule your fan base. That is just a dumb decision.
