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.
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.
You're describing cooking with friends
Cooking Mama: Dinner with Friends!
I think the term is ~~friendslop~~, and I'm 100% all for it. Let me dick around with my friends. (For what it's worth I actually think it's a well made game.)
Edit: I've been made aware that friendslop isn't entirely accurate. Party game is more fitting.
That is fair, it is very fun from what I've seen people play it, if not a bit frustrating to the point of people screaming at each other (all in good fun tho) and that CAN make for excellent content. Definitely agree on the optics being absolute dogwater tho π
I mean, that's half the fun of it β Overcooked 2 is just haphazard chaos sometimes.
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
I've had men who wanted to play it, but yeah it's definitely more popular with women. Great game
it could just coincidence that a very fun coop game that happens to be about cooking was choosen, I wouldn't assume bad intention
Overcooked is great, they have good tastes.
I believe women have the right to enjoy any game
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 ?
No?
But it would be if they were picking cotton before and then cut over to them eating a bucket in the shade.
I'm too old to get this? ELI 50?
An event for women playing a game about cooking.
I mean if it was intended that way, it's pretty nasty, but a game is a game, and Overcooked is a ton of fun and chaotic, so it's entertaining to watch as well.
Ah damn, completely woooosh moment. I know the game, but didn't associated it with "women in the kitchen". Maybe because I do the cooking π.
Progress through completely not getting misogynistic jokes I guess?
It's a cooking game
Your screen name game is on point.
Grow up.
