Microsoft have created these trading cards which you can print out with quotes from gaming to celebrate women (mostly Tomb Raider quotes), here are some of the quotes on the trading cards,
https://news.xbox.com/en-us/wp-cont.../Womens-History-Month_PDF-Printable-Cards.pdf

Very encouraging quotes from a dog from Okami, LuLu and Lightning from FF, and Lara Croft from Tomb Raider. I'm not entirely sure how you're supposed to play these, maybe they are just cards you put on a table with friends. You even have blank cards to write your own quotes.

Gamers even get these new avatars for International Womens Day as well,

With these new avatars you can- wait wait wait.

Wait a Philliping minute.

Ohh Xbox. You are giving gamers the exact same avatars from the Black History month promotion, just the logo colors on their shirts is swapped. Come on you couldn't give us new avatars? Really?

Amaterasu, the sun goddess, promotes pulling yourself up by the bootstraps and equality of opportunity, not outcome. Agreed.

Oh a side note fuck this day, I was going to buy a sex toy for with which to pleasure a lady and lovehoney had a 25% voucher on for IWD but they have every one except the one I actually wanted ffs, I could've saved £35! Stupid day.

How many women there are actually dudes? Can't be pro woman and also promote men dressed(or surgically changed) as women.

 

[hemo memo]

Where are the women?

Actually, you can. Gender is fluid. Please don't confuse sex and gender.

Honestly ... kinda sexist to act like women are only here to support, in a Women's Day Affirmation Deck. So like, you pull out these cards and repeat "I am here to support" to yourself as you start your day? Might as well have a card that says "My place is the kitchen." Way to go Xbox. Be better.

Wait, it's a month now?

 

[FunkMiller]

Still a somewhat more successful International Women's Day campaign than the one Hersheys went with.

 

[Eddie-Griffin]

Wait, it's a month now?

Yeah, I'm not sure what's going on with that, the promotion is for international womens day, but they are celebrating womens history month in some parts of the site, and looking nongaming news it seems there is a month, but then what is the day for then if the month is about international women anyway.

Either way, the trading cards seem to cover both basis.

 

[Pegasus Actual]

(possibly the wrong month)

Didnt know about this one, just did a google search and oops

Microsoft has too many employees.
They should fire some.

 

[Crayon]

Why does this all look so fucking cheap?? Looks like someone did this in 20 minutes. In 1999.

Salary waste is a drop in the ocean to what they are losing on Gamepass. Do MS care about running a profitable Xbox division?

Made up nonsense. Why do you spout this as if this ideology is fact?

WTF Microsoft, I was thinking about buying one of your consoles, but What the Everliving Fuck is This? After seeing this I need an Affirmation Deck of my own. It would go a little something like this : I will NEVER buy anything from you virtue signaling tards ever again.

#PeaceandQuiet it’s all I think about on this occasion

Missed opportunity for something inclusive of the looser women in society.

To my wife, who isn’t from the US. This is an important day. I’ve never met or heard about an American woman who cared or even mentioned this holiday. The first time I missed this holiday she was legit pissed off at me. She would probably slap me in face if I gave her one of these. Even though I think they’re cool.

What else did you learn in 2016?

Whatever department comes up with nonsense like this should be closed and all it’s employees terminated.

This comment is underrated.

Where are the women?

oh, jeez! the friggin' 'happy women/black/gay pride day/week/month' avatar quartet again? c'mon, xbox! time to shitcan these mopes & either put some real effort in, or get the fuck out...

 

[Majormaxxx]

Not if they are women.

 

[SoloKingRobert]

Where are the women?

They're Them. They're Phasing out Woman. It's either Person, Them, Toaster or the other 90th Gender.

 

[Tommi84]

Where are the women?

The one on the left is defflinitelly a woman. The rest? May I present you the new fad - gender fluidity xD

 

[k_trout]

so women wrote these fictional character quotes?

 

[nkarafo]

That's it? Just a bunch of text on a plain background? No artwork of any sort? And they even reuse those same ugly avatars from the pride days?

Microsoft doesn't give a shit about women. They don't even bother putting some effort on their virtue signalling. How could some people fall for this i don't understand. I don't believe anyone does.

 

[GnomeChimpsky]

Why does this all look so fucking cheap?? Looks like someone did this in 20 minutes. In 1999.

Because the people they put on this aren't there because of their skills.

 

[Bragr]

Any women on here? what do you feel about this?

lol just kidding, there are no women here.

 

[Spukc]

 

[Black_Stride]

In before someone says Microsoft is virtue signalling and bitches about it like the soy boy they ar.........come on.....not even 50 posts in?

Gia Paloma... what amazing times.

 

[Helghan]

Not sure if this is the most important topic to focus on during women’s day. Compared to women’s rights throughout the world.

 

[hemo memo]

They did a Women’s Day in my big organization. You want to know how? A graphic design of different women with different hairstyles and one with a cover (hijab). Complaints? ZERO. You know what was the best part? No beard or They Mi To Si Bo Vc Qo in sight.

 

[Bavarian_Sloth]

Exactly what i need as gamer

Who cares about good exclusives when you can have an "affirmation deck" instead.

For the ladies reading this:

Because no one actually cares.

Also happy women's day, here's a large black man and Daft Punk.

I mean it hits the criteria these days, which is apparently anything if you say so.
