Placing Chinese Army skin on Japanese descent is unacceptable!!!

Let me say this again: placing the Chinese Army skin on a character of Japanese descent Placing the Chinese Army skin on a character of Japanese descent is unacceptable!!!

For players in China, this isn't a matter of faction mix-ups or personal preference. It is a direct and visceral slap in the face rooted in a painful, bloody history.

The reason is simple and non-negotiable: the historical enmity stemming from the Second Sino-Japanese War, a conflict that was part of the larger theater of World War II. From 1937 to 1945, Japan invaded and occupied large parts of China, committing atrocities on a massive scale. The death toll is staggering—an estimated 15 to 20 million Chinese civilians and soldiers died during this period. The most infamous example is the Nanking Massacre of 1937, where over a period of six weeks, hundreds of thousands of Chinese civilians and disarmed combatants were murdered by Imperial Japanese forces, alongside widespread torture and sexual violence.

To make this clear to a Western audience: this is not merely "getting the faction wrong." The closest equivalent would be creating a skin for the brave, besieged defenders of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising and then placing it on a Nazi SS officer's character model. It is an absurd, offensive contradiction that violates the most basic historical and emotional logic. You would never, ever do that because you understand the profound, unspeakable offense it would cause. The same principle applies here.

Many Chinese players have greatly enjoyed Battlefield 6, actively participating in the game's beta test and dedicating considerable time to earning this bonus skin in 2042. We're not saying this skin must be worn by Chinese soldiers to be acceptable, but seeing it worn by a Japanese-American is hard not to see it as another example of "arrogant Westerners." I hope EA and DICE will take the feedback from Chinese players seriously, and I look forward to Battlefield 6 being the most exciting Battlefield game ever.

(I wanted chatgpt to generate a satirical picture for me, but even chatgpt said: "I understand what you mean, but I can't help you with this request directly. The reason is that it involves highly sensitive content such as Nazi symbols and the history of Jewish resistance. If such an image is generated, it may be misunderstood as spreading hatred or disrespecting the victim group.")
