The 23-year-old forensic psychology graduate, encouraged by her father, decided it was time to break with the centuries-old tradition of sexual inequality in playing card decks that rank men above women.
After a lot of trial and error, she designed a genderless deck in which the images of a king, queen and jack were replaced with gold, silver and bronze. Within a few months, she had sent out around 1,500 packs, including to Belgium, Germany, France and the United States. Game shops have also shown interest, she said.
Fuck that !
The more they try to destroy a figment of their imagination the more society is waking up to where this is coming from. A deep sense of inadequacy and inferiority.
Feeling that unity yet?
What the hell now they what to change playing cards
I've created an Islamic card deck. Here's the Queen.
wow kids in Africa are starving to death but this is news, f*ck off
Why is this even worth a message from Reuters? I made a chess game where the pawns are the highest figures, because of the suppressed working class. What is wrong with you people?
Lol nice way to make money.
I think nature would disagree...
Good luck changing Chess. The Russians won't stand for this shit
This is retarded. Why are you even giving this the light of day? This is basically that old lady that knitted a sweater for her cat, but the cat is actually a communist.
Ridiculous, this is just getting stupid now.
Does the Joker need a gender change now?
Thought this was an Onion article.
How fucking stupid.
I prefer taking card decks for fun sake rather than involving them in void analysis. People play such games to escape daily routines and chores not to remember social hierarchy. Instead of turning people away from social relations, she makes them become more manifest.
Makes you wanna lose the will to live
This is the extent of the Biden/Harris progressive policy right here.
The world has gone insane...
This woman has shallow mind. Your degree doesn’t define who u r
I thought the queen was more powerful or wait that’s chess. FFS why does a vagina or penis have to be so demonised. This is worse than the Spanish Inquisition.
BigBurgers14 pandemic in itself
Wonder what she’ll do to the card game Happy Families....
Why should gold be worth more than bronze? Bronze spawned an entire age and advanced human society far more than gold. Disgusting anti bronze sentiment that I won't be enabling.
How do you stand out in a crowd if everyone is equal This is not modern society it’s a boring society Who wants to be neutral...
Why are we pretending that gimmick card decks don't already exist?
This is just embarrassing, we need to reprint all the rules for every card game ever now! Can’t wait till they get to chess!
Why can't all cards just be equal and get along 😇.. 🤢🤮
'king rediculous
georgegalloway We the gender neutral lower numbers demand parity. Every card should be a 10.
As a silver person I am offended by her deck of cards.
How fragile does ones femininity have to be to be bothered by the fact that a king is more 'valuable' than a queen in a deck of *playing cards*? That's not the case in real life and even many card games! Humans care about weird shit.
Wtf is this world coming to ...
Welcome to the Biden era. We will be the laughing stock of the World for the next 4 years.
I want chess changed then
What a f*cking ridiculous idea , it's a deck of cards ffs , the ace is higher than both of them anyway ,
Did a double take. Thought this was The Onion...
go fvck yourselves morons.
I am confused, is it from Reuters or The Onion?
Lol soon we won’t even call it MANKIND🧐, very ironic.
Will never catch on.
Matt_brfc thoughts?
Fair play but ironic given the gender neutral impossibility of Dutch.
I am normally all for adapting things that are obviously unfair to be egalitarian, but this seems kinda silly. The references to the historical roles of men and women in royalty doesnt impact the game in the end. Seems like a waste of time. Ya couldve contributed to a cancer cure
'Monarch'
Who cares? It's a different version of a deck of cards.
Thebuttsmarn looking forward to viewing your thoughts on this woke crap!
What about the Ace card? It is worth more than the king. Should we make it Asexual? I have never thought of playing cards this way.
Id love to meet someone who isn't a fairy
Load of xhit
mccartan8
🤮
SeamusMadden look what you’ve done. I hope you’re happy now
Genuine question for anyone who thinks this is a good idea, I'm curious. Is it because you're offended by having to play with gendered cards? Or that you feel unrepresented as a group? Or because it's a way to attract attention? Or another reason? Thanks.
Although technically, the joker(s) quash all that crap in the regular deck (so no need for a new one)... AND they are most definitely gender neutral AND the most powerful... (I’ll play a joker any day for that - preferably the big, please) 👀 🙏🏽
Lol.
Fuck sake are we saying people are offended by playing cards. I’ve had a enough get me off this world 🙈
OK this just seems a little silly.
Enough already! Too much ‘wokeness’. It’s just a pack of cards for God’s sake. There’s so many more serious issues to be worried about in the world right now than this.
what a BUNCH OF CRAP!. Cancel Culture strikes again!. They can all go jump in lake or run to their safe spaces.
Lol. I know no woman or man has ever felt superior or inferior because a King ranked higher than a Queen in cards.
Ugh
Are the woke mob trying to win people over, or to alienate and polarise ordinary people even further? Probably the latter.
Is she saying that the toils of those who mine gold are more important than those poor folks who mine silver and bronze...spare a thought for the forgotten zinc miners.
Do you have a barf bag I could use?
Oh good grief.
Where’s attack helicopter, toaster, etc? Considering you can identify as literally anything and everything these days 🙄
More utter bollocks... or lack of in this pack... ♠️
Fucking mongs
Ace already exists
Pathetic people
I’m surprised the term “menapause” hasn’t been changed because it happens to women and not men 😆🤷🏼♂️
Isn’t the queen toppled too then?
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLLLLLL!!!
Keep Scrolling folks. Not worth it.
Finally!
How many psycological problems must someone have to create a gender-neutral card deck? Thats what happens when you dont have free health care!
Absolute nonsense
What next n where is this crazy mixed up world heading Nobody knows if they r up or r they down a sad indictment of how we were born A baby Boy or a baby Girl B careful what u wish 4
Fuckin losers.
Gold, Silver and Bronze just promotes greed and capitalism. Just as well the other metals arent precious about it... Burn all cards, scrap labels, deny history and culture, erase genders. Then we can go back to bemoaning the weather.
This is gimmicky to say the least. Not relevant at all, but hey, hope she’s getting that dough!
Give it a rest already...get alife.
Full House! Gays Full of Bisexuals... Read 'em and weep!! Lolll
I actually could care less. However it’s funny to see that people can find flaws in absolutely everything! whatever happened to parents sending the right message and raising their kids properly? If playing cards get in the way of this we have bigger problems.
Oh FFS!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Trumps last day. Thought
All my buddies at the forge are going to love these.
It’s almost as if history didn’t happen.
Im a bit sickened by this. Sad times
Deck sounds too like dick too, this must be changed immediately.
Nice
What a ridiculous thing to even discuss,utter tripe!!!!!!!!!
What’s a gender neutral Ace then?
'Mellink has been testing the cards out on players, who said they had never been conscious of sexual inequality in decks before.' 😀
why are people so upset about the existence of non-binary people.. it’s getting weird
🤢
Of course
Society is sooo fucked up.... why can’t you just leave some things alone😒...
🧠REALITY🧠
King valued more because kings been stronger & more powerful throughout human history for wht evr reasons. Queens couldn’t achieved what kings had. There’s a lot you could do for women to b equal or stronger in society thn these gimmicks. Look at history and data & you would know
Dunno why companies keep pandering to the ultra offended group when in reality the majority of trans people couldn't give a damn about gender specific terms
You know, you could just use a deck of Double German-French Schnapsen cards. 🤷 Where ace is the woman and therefore the highest card followed by King, Upper, Lower, ten and so forth.
No thanks. What kind of bullshit is this?
😂
Oh dear! How far can this go?
🤦🏽♂️
So is the Queen and the Jack gone too? Why just the King?
Had they really nothing else to do?
So the queen is gone as well?
Oh brother! 🤴 👸 🃏 = 🤷🏻♀️
Ok so does this not apply to chess where the most powerful piece is a queen not a king?
michael_jwray sort of thing you’d campaign for
The fall really. Everyone is too distracted by MSM to see it.
Please tell me its april the 1st JuliaHB1
What happens if the King is transgender?
So what beats what in a card game if all the cards are equal 😂?
lol looking forward to half-hourly flipouts on Fox News for the next year over this
Fuck offwith that shit
Design a genderless deck.. FGS, why not just choose something like a Kumquat, Quince and Jalapeno Change the pictures to the fruit/veg and be done with it. As it is, I'm sure many have decks of cards with not King or Queen featured
Most 'woke' people are 'a special kind of stupid', people whom invent gender-neutral card decks are not, they need medication.
How about Transgender playing cards? It's much more simple to change the rules of the game.
Who says the King is the most important card? You obviously think so, but that doesn’t make it’s true
🙄🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️Why? 🤷🏻♀️ 🤡🤡🤡
PrisonPlanet
Gender-less, not gender-neutral.
Lol. Insanity hehe
Go away.
Gimme a break.
What a joke! I want a chess set where the queen has a hoover!
The hell.
If this bothers you, you're not as ok as you thought you were ...... Or you are as bad as others think you are. Stuff the Royals .. GenderNeutral PlayingCards
Yep, let's all be 'A' people with an identity you can't identify with because it will make someone upset.
1985: By 2021 we’ll have flying cars 2021: 🤷♂️
Oh f*ck off
FFS some things just don't need to change....
Go away
🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
how about these playing cards?
Of course.
FFS
Go woke go broke
This has got to be a wind up.....
Wow why is gold higher than silver? How dare she
Dross
Cancel culture is real, wake up and defend reason &science
No one's forcing all of u in the comments to buy it
Can we just have that 3rd world war, so we can have some actual things to worry about..
