Queen is already the most powerful piece.

Chess is feminist AF.

It obviously isn't that they're now sexist, it's that they always have been.

Yes, they are. A king that rules a country is no more inherently powerful than a queen that rules a country, there is no reason for king to rank higher than queen beyond baked in misogyny.

I don't get it, so in her deck silver represents the Queen and gold represents the King?

If her goal was gender neutrality, then I feel like she succeeded? Are gold and silver gendered?

There are literally hundreds of types of playing card decks with random pictures in place of the originals. This is just another type aimed at a specific crowd. You guys are weak as shit crying over the most trivial stuff

I'm not against it, but it was pretty unnecessary. It's just the name of the card(s); they're the ones assigning this much meaning to it.

It's like the word Plopper doesnt have meaning, but if enough people decide its offensive now it is; but.. that's because of them.

Theres no particular issue that it exists, but the fact that someone is acting like this is some kind of groundbreaking change is pretty dumb. Feels like someone had a friend of a friend who had some little pet project and nothing else to write about so they made this article.

You seem really ignorant of the effects that being raised with constant subtle (and often not so subtle) societal messaging that you are inferior can have.

If we have this hierarchy that the king is worth more than the queen then this subtle inequality influences people in their daily life because its just another way of saying hey, youre less important, she said in an interview. Even subtle inequalities like this do play a big role.

I feel like this is a reach, but hey.

Im fairly sure this isnt groundbreaking so dunno why itd get any attention. Just cards.

Not sure if criticizing playing cards or the very purpose and existence of language.

Everything is assigned meaning. Words aren't a natural phenomenon. There is no point in communicating if the communication is meaningless.

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.

This is not exactly an unknown area of study. What do you think things like representation in media are all about? Societal messaging regarding individual worth based on inborn characteristics.
