    So, the only people I’ve had ask me to play Overcooked 2 have been women.

    I think the game might just be popular with women, as unfortunate as the optics are. That being said, it is a very fun video game that I would have overlooked had multiple people not recommended it to me.

      I’m a 47 year old man. My daughter and I love this game. And sometimes I can even get my wife to join us. While we all scream at each other

      Honestly, it’s not really a cooking game, it’s about trying to reign in the inherent chaos that you and your friends are naturally capable of.

      There is a difference between promotion material and what’s included in a deal.
      Showing of cooking games first and foremost is implying a stereotypical picture where a woman should be present.

        Ehhh

        Ok ?

        So, is it racist to put black people in a KFC commercial ? Black people too can enjoy KFC meal, but there is a stereotype regarding them and chicken. Should we avoid having black people in KFC ads ?
