I can't imagine why my perfectly innocent question got you so upset. It's not like I said sans underwear and no pyjama ;-P

Not upset. I just like screaming.

I'm in for myself and Crewdroog XD

I absolutely don't understand how this GA could be considered sexist. Is Mother's Day sexist? I think not since there's also a Father's Day. I'm a girl and don't have any problem telling people that. The whole point of the thread is to *break* stereotypes, not create them. Sure, I like casual games, but my gaming roots reach back over thirty years, back to the days of the Apple, Atari, and Commodore 64. I'd play any game I could get my hands on, and loved every minute of it! I've only read the first page thus far, but I'll return to read the rest when I'm not so tired (just did a lot of yard work. Whew~!)

My favorite genres:
Dark & Eerie: but without mindless gore -- I much prefer the psychological type of horror to the bloody.
Adventure: Give me a great story! Make it immersive, make it fun!
Platformers: My love of platformers goes back to the days of the original Mario Brothers, which I played on my dad's Apple II. Give me a dark & eerie platforming adventure and I'm a happy, happy gamers!

As a side note, I recently started the 2013 Tomb Raider, and I'm in love ♥ It's heavy on the story, there's a ton of optional content (I'm a completionist, so I love that!), the gameplay is GREAT, and the action is both doable (for this new-to-shooters game player) and exciting. And it's LONG, which is great, 'cause I don't want it to end!

Sexism is defined as discrimination based on a person's sex... This giveaway does "discriminate" in such a way, as will the other one. It fits the definition, therefore it is "sexist". Bear in mind - that's JUST A WORD. The giveaway is not only perfectly fine, it is a noble gesture of generosity for which I applaud you. Not all "discrimination" has to be bad - we discriminate all the time. Sometimes we discriminate by having preferences, sometimes we do so by telling things apart (that's also "discriminating").
The moral here is that "sexism" can be a perfectly fine and innocuous thing. This is an inconvenient truth to people who wish to use the term as a bludgeon, relying on the implicit "if sexist then UNSPEAKABLY BAD" assumption.
tl;dr Carry on ^^!

Actually, to be a stickler, the word "sexism" only has negative meaning.
The GA itself is not sexist because it's just a fuckin' GA.
The comment that "women get enough freebies thrown at them for no particularly good reason to begin with" (quoting hedwards) was in fact, sexist.

stg83: Oh no you don't Momo, as awesome of a mic drop as this was I humbly request you to pick up the mic again and please enter in this giveaway for once because I hardly ever see you entering any even though you deserve to be rewarded for your invaluable contributions to this community. :)
I appear to be drowning in games but none on GOG at those price points are currently on my wish list - therefore, I am not in ;-D

Let's just say that I prefer to wait for a good sale for the items that are on my wishlist and until then, I have plenty to keep me busy for quite some time to come - dratted job takes up SO much time ;-p
