Missing Voices: Why Call of Duty’s Latest Update Feels Unbalanced

I checked out the new Black Ops 6 update today. They added Beavis and Butt-Head, Coach Buzzcut, and Todd. Kind of a mediocre mix, but I was curious. After a few games, though, one thing really stood out there isn’t a single female character anywhere.

That feels off in today’s world. We’ve been talking about balance and representation forever. This update could’ve easily included some female characters from the same universe. Like Mrs. Stevenson, Lolita and Tanqueray, or even Daria Morgendorffer. Those choices make sense and would have added some much needed variety.

I really enjoy Beavis and Butt-Head and love seeing them in the game. I also like Daria and Mrs Stevenson and wish they were part of this update. Instead, it’s all dudes, loud and over the top, like always. It feels like a missed chance to switch things up or actually think about who they left out. I’ve played Call of Duty for years, and lately the game just seems less fresh, more gimmicky. This update is fun but also a little disappointing because of what’s missing.

It’s frustrating. Between bugs, poor balance, and stuff like this, it’s hard to get hyped anymore. I just hope the devs realize fans deserve better.
