COD is disgusting imperial propaganda. Absolutely zero surprise that it's also misogynist.

Sounds more like the player that wrote the article is a misogynist, not the game.

If you're saving dudes and the last rescue is a woman and you use that as a sign of misogyny, that says more about the speaker than the game.

I think his point was that it WASN'T misogynist. The character is a combat helicopter pilot. That means she's intelligent, highly trained and skilled and of course brave. Those are bad things?

The fact that she was shot down doesn't reflect on her gender, it could happen to any pilot in that situation. It's war, it's inherently dangerous.
