Literally what the hell does this even mean. Cheesy lines at the end have nothing to do with masculinity/femininity.
"herd mentality"
Somehow I don't think anyone is losing friends over saying they enjoy BF2042. If they are, those were terrible, awful, no-good 'friends' to begin with.
I agree that there's some hyperbole in the criticism the game receives at time, but that's largely a result of the community being abandoned to stew in negativity since the start of the year as DICE have been unwilling to communicate or engage. Plus the fact that the only information we are getting comes from a known and trusted leaker and includes things like a town hall where EA (denies) blaming Halo Infinite for many of the launch problems BF2042 faced.
Until DICE starts becoming a better source of information than a guy on Twitter, this extra negativity will remain.
I'm past that point in life where I care about such things but I get why young males who like playing war games would find that an issue.

@Tank2042ManI'm 52 years old and are way past "masculinity" or "fragile ego" issues and I find the voice-lines to be really stupid and very annoying.
It's all about setting. I have played some Apex Legends and have no issue with the voice-lines in Apex (which are as 'cringy' as any BF2042s voiceline).
But for BF it is wrong. BF is "brutal warfare" (you die a lot) and the existing specialists are so out of place in that setting. Making the specialists behave like children/teenagers, is intelligence insulting, it doesn't hurt my "masculinity" in any way.- 4 years ago

On that we agree , i want the game to feel serious and Dystopian but sadly DICE wanted there to cater to the " Fortnite/Apex " kids who want colorfull silly characters ..
But overall it remain that BF2042 is back to Large scale Combines arms gameplay , I get behind specialist choices but i dislike most of their cosmetics .. The new Mckay skins they will give us for free , or Dozer skins etc. are fitting for the game .. but the Sundance " INstagram model " type of wannabe look army with hairstyles and so on its ridiculous for a game like this .
Cosmetically I dislike many of 2042 choices but on design and balance i think they got a lot of stuff right . especially conquest 128 , specialist and loadout are mostly fine to me . But all the cosmetics and even some of the map feels need to be revisedAnd corny one liners need to be remooved
The last levelcap videos recap a lot of what i am thinking about the game myself
