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,

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?

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?

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.

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.
 
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.

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.

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

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