The point was the masses are choosing to get offended. It wasnt until they decided they were offended. They're giving this meaning it never had. They're manufacturing the problem themselves for no reason.
"The masses" are getting offended? Are we banning playing cards? Are major companies changing to this women's deck?

And you are still describing language. Good, bad, whatever meanings are chosen by what the masses feel. Words are a societal construct.

Yea.. I didnt bring any of the up because it wasnt the point I was trying to make. Take away what you want from my comment, but please dont put words in my mouth.
The point you seemed to be trying to make is that there is no actual messaging about the inherent value of men and women on display and people are making up things that they want to be offended by. And it's a patently fucking stupid point.

No one should be surprised at this, and no it is not worth being angry over, ignore her trolling ass and move on so people know she is an idiot being offended over nothing.

Basically. I know theres some implications here, but it's not that big of a deal. As someone pointed out; the Queen is the most powerful chess piece; are we going to change that to make things more equal? It's a game. The pieces were named and assigned a value. You can accept it, or get offended and give it power; but that's a you problem.

All she really did was just change the theme of the deck. King is indeed higher than Queen if we are to assume the Queen is married to the King. And the Jack is indeed the ass.

This is just virtue signaling. She's not making the world a better place by doing this. It's not something that needed to be fixed. If she wants to make the world a better place she should try doing something that actually matters.

Being a small part of the process of bringing attention to and removing societal messaging of the inherent inferiority of women is just virtue signaling and doesn't matter or make the world a better place? That's quite a privileged position you have there.

I find it fine. You'd have to fuck up royally for me to describe the development of a deck of cards to be "not fine". It just is.

You might as well be asking how someone can be fine with a football video game existing when they play RPGs and roguelike m

Lmao, I'm not having a melt down, but great job. Apperantly were just going to continue putting words in others mouths here and make false accusations instead of asking an kind of questions.

Playing cards are pointless in the grand scheme. No one complained about the other thousands of variations on a classic card deck that came before. I've seen women, non-humans, and inanimate objects on Js and Ks. Microsoft has had "gender neutral" deck options in their Windows games for years.

This isn't a "variations on classics is bad" argument. It's a "feminism bad" one.

The same people aren't complaining about the pointlessness of change if the king is replaced with a naked porn star.

I tend to ascribe to the mindset that there is no reason to call myself a feminist for believing in gender equality, the people who don't should be called sexist.
