This is extremely cringe. Corporations are the last people that should lecture or virtue signal. Especially coming from Microsoft, but I guess they must try to maintain their ESG.

Can't we just have the 90s and early 2000s back?

 

[Virex]

Where are the women?

I see one overweight one. The rest don't look like women in any way shape or form

 

[Pejo]

There's all kinds of quotes that they could be using.

 

[Moses85]

What about Games?

I mean, good, exclusives

How dare you!. You can’t see that muscular black woman on the right with the white beard? Which is typical of how you describe a woman.

 

[Oddvintagechap]

This is so wack. But it’s spurred something here, so maybe im wrong.

It’s not about looks anymore in this day and age. Everyone is a woman if they feel like it. Biological factors and facts are a farce, and a danger to human kind. /s

They need to release Xbox Uno cards with stuff like "Xbox is a monopoly" (reverse) "Xbox has no games"

 

[gaming_again]

It’s weird how Microsoft became the most tediously woke company around.

Word on my work computer gives my compositions an ‘inclusivity’s rating.

Can you Americans get a handle on this, please?

I didn't know that was an Xbox exclusive

 

[In Cold Blood]

Sure, I will get right on to that.

 

[M1chl]

Why the graphics looks as such garbage? Is it from MS paint? Also why it looks like Windows Vista retail package on those cards?

 

[Pejo]

I didn't know that was an Xbox exclusive

I mean neither is FF10,13, Overwatch 2 or Tomb Raider.

This is about women in videogames man, c'mon!

 

[Lasha]

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

Microsoft has negative salary waste?

Ah good old Summertime Saga. I watched a "friend" play it a lot

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

"I'm here to support."
- Mercy

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.

At least she's not lying to herself.

Kids have tanks now instead of wheelchairs? Damn. Someone take me out at the knees.

 

[Black_Mamba]

Cringe af. Xbox had their moment with the 360, but it's such a shitty brand now. 30% market share is still too much for them

 

[SSfox]

Much easier to release games i guess

 

[LordOfChaos]

She got dat milk.....she can get it.

I will admit the dimorphism in Shapiro's is extreme

I'd have gender with her if Ben won't

Retarded.

It's called Quality.

Just make sure you use good printer paper when you print the cards.

 

[AJUMP23]

Everyone needs affirmation.

 

[Rush2112]

Valentines day
Mothers day
International women day
Breast cancer awareness day

They dont have enough holidays.

 

[FoxMcChief]

And here I am, a Fox, genetically changed to stop rebellions and no one celebrates me. Fuck you people. Yeah, you people.

 

[justiceiro]

Girls can make good use of that for a drinking game. Shuffle the cards and pick one. Drink until you can read the quote without feeling embarrassed.

 

[sloppyjoe_gamer]

Imagine you're a company and the only big exclusive release you have coming in the next SEVERAL months is Starfield, which was just delayed, and this virtue signaling horseshit is what you push out in the meantime while Sony and Nintendo kicks your ass month after month.

Someone else said in here, MS has too many employees.

Renaissance painting of Aristotle and Plato, painted in the 1500s.

Art reflects the current ideals of society. Seems like many in the driving seat in our society wishes to make the world as ugly as possible.

The greek forms were all about showing the ideal - to transcend the here and now and arrive at spiritual peace. Human beings drove themselves from the filth of carnal, tribal living not long before this.. Suddenly a new spiritual sophistication arrived and we see in the greek art an ideal human dignity that cries out, man asserting himself as being more than an animal when he draws the perfect, ideal, dignified greek form.

We now champion empty and ugly art.

Ah, because they had some of the best societal norms and behavioral priorities in the 1500s.

Just say they threw together some lazy avatars and they reused them for 3 different events with no changes but the colors of the logo.

 

[HoodWinked]

its such a paradox that these group of weirdos have extremely high self esteem, are very narcissistic and entitled. but also require constant affirmations from strangers or their "mental health" spirals out of control.

Of course the world was savage and the ugly side of humanity existed in those times, but art pieces such as that emphasised an ideal vision of society where humanity was dignified in mostly undignified times. There was a pursuit of order in a chaotic world and from that struggle we enjoy the fruits of society today. The artists could see and envision a better world and that was reflected in the art.

Most modern art and artchitecutre seems like a massive regression from that ideal to me. It's ugly and a lot of the time brutal looking, such as those trashy avatars and a lot of the garbage that liberals produce these days.

 

[buenoblue]

I mean, I do identify Phil as a cunt

They don't have high self esteem. People that do don't need *affirmation* nor do they care about what others think of them.

These weirdos know what they are, that's why they want the world to consider them like what they wish they were instead.

I mean you're kind of digging deep into nothing here, they probably made those avatars in 30 minutes using a modeling program.

What? Is that something your company set? I don't see that in word. Although our hr keeps putting out x persons month every month. Why do we need this on our corp intranet?

 

[X-Wing]

I don't know what is worse. Big corps pretending to care or the edgelords wanna be quoting Shappiro.

That's kind of the weird paradox I was pointing out. Probably due to growing up in the participation trophy era which is both affirming and ego building.

It’s part of the ‘editor’ function. I use it to do a first-pass spell check just to catch anything that should be obvious. It appeared on our latest update.

Yeah yeah it’s The Sun but it ain’t lying. I tried out some words myself to test it.

 

[winjer]

Damn, that is one very pathetic attempt at celebrating woman's day.
Seriously, someone at Microsoft got paid to make that crap. And someone decided it was good enough to go forward.
