Yup it was a vicarious experience for da women folk.
It just occurred to me that I’ve never played any sort of war game with someone sporting ovaries.
If I’m brave enough to do this, does it make me a cultural ambassador of some sort?
What? I see an entire family having fun: men with the advertised product and women with seeing their men happy.
I don’t understand the complaints here.
The woman must never interrupt the man, for men do important things
…and the women wash the dishes.
Under His Eye.
Blessed be the fruit.
They knew that a man so hurt and so perplexed may turn in anger, even on the people he loves.
So bad we went so woke, it was a happier world before.

This is what I don’t understand. Yes, corporations pander to marginalised demographics, but I have not once seen them lose significant income or have been boycotted. Fascist corporations, meanwhile, lost customers and stocks like Target and Tesla.
Like really, who’s going broke? Methinks this is projection from the right, or disinformation from state or non-state actors alike to keep the population divided.
What are you talking about? Tesla’s stock price is coming back up in line with everyone else. They’re actually doing much better than more woke companies like Apple.
Competitors have outsold Tesla as part of boycott, so the stocks won’t go back to its peak at $400-410. What is happening is that it simply became pump and dump for most traders (I have been shorting it myself).
Methinks this is projection from the right
It always is.
Bud lite. That’s it. That’s all they’ve got. Number one beer to number three and since it’s a massive corporation, the larger entity didn’t go broke but they’re too poorly educated to understand they moved from one brand to another under the same mega corp.
To be right wing is to be ruled by emotions. Humans are all emotional creatures, but for some people it reaches a point where emotion alone creates reality. Facts are there to be picked up or set aside to support feelings. When their guy eats ice cream it’s because he’s a man of the people. When your guy eats ice cream it’s because he’s a baby. Facts don’t matter. It’s feelings.
And most of their feelings seem to be fear. Fear of loss. Fear of humiliation. You can show them stats and history demonstrating how, like, a diverse workforce leads to higher productivity and greater happiness, but that doesn’t matter. They’re not looking at facts. They’re feeling feelings.
Imagine trying to talk to someone who’s drunk. That’s the right wing, except all the time and they can’t really sober up. Honestly, it sounds like hell.
Yo, don’t compare my drunk ass to those people. When I’m drunk I only get 100% more talkative and like 500% more gay.
So do the right wingers’ homie. So do the right wingers’
This is of course not helped in any way by the fact that right-wing news are basically just fear, hate, tits and the weather report.
People were so much better looking when they smiled.

You know what they say: go woke, you blew up my battleship.
“G-4”
“You woke my battleship!”
Niiiice
So if I capsize in your thighs, high tide, B-5, you sunk my battleship
For some it for sure was
In the last frame there is a thing that looks like a post it note or a paper stuck to the wall which we don’t see in the previous two frames - and they’re all supposed to be the same image, only zoomed in. It’s too blurry to be read but it appears to have something written on it, any clues as to what that is?
Seems like an MRP sticker of the game, 6 dollars or something
In the before-times people would purchase objects that were displayed on “shelves”. They would pick the object up and carry it to a “cashier” who would then look at a small sticker called a “price tag” on the item, and charge the customer that amount.
Still, it’s weird that the zoomed-in image came from a different copy of the game than the other two. (Or that they took off the sticker before taking another photo, and then didn’t use that new photo for the zoomed-in image.)
I feel like the “ai” upscaling comment is probably right. The women in the last frame have a lot more detail and contrast, in addition to a partially illegible price tag that wasn’t there before.
Like, it could be from a different photo, but why would the creator go find a whole different picture when they had one right in front of them?
I agree with you guys. I just thought it was funny.
Maybe they had to use a different, larger, pic to get anything recognizable? It’s an internet mystery.
We shall never know lol.
It could be that the O OP had the tiny kitchen photo first like their sister texted them 'look wtf is on this old game box" and then they just Googled the second larger photo of a game box for context
That’s definitely possible. Good thinking
It would have been quite the sight.
You got the 'membering
Is that like the Shine?
Different movie
What if, like, it’s all connected, man
Truetrue
It’s a price tag from Woolco. It looks like it cost $6.xx
Maybe a calendar?
You mean the price tag?
Right, thanks! But why is it not present in the previous ones?
It looks like its a different picture taken with a different camera. If it was just zoomed in it would be very blurry. For whatever reason they took a picture of a different box, or got images from multiple sources to make this meme.
Looking at the fringes between colors, the last panel looks upscaled to me. Maybe the AI invented a price sticker?
I had this box & I always thought it was weird the sister didn’t want play.
I want to believe they already played and lost and therefore have to do the dishes, while the other two fight for rank 1 in the tournament. But it’s not exactly easy to believe this 😖
Fun for half the family! while your wife and daughter watch from the kitchen where they belong
We can’t allow the Feeemaaales to learn the art of war.
Red circle.
You might be color blind
If you don’t see the (very much red) circle as red, then you might want to get your eyes checked.
Lol true. I did completely miss it.
Well, that’s on me and my smartass dumb brain.I’m leaving the comment, as a reminder to myself.
Red. Circle.
Lmao i done fucked up.
Wow. This again
Maybe they were going to play after finishing up the dishes?
This shitty interpretation says more about the person making the “meme” than the artist who created the original ad.
I can’t see anywhere on the box it claims it’s fun for the entire family. It’s a two person game after all.
In fairness, you’re right. I just spent a few minutes looking at higher resolution images of the box and it does not make that claim.
That said, the meme captures the spirit of an era pretty perfectly. I still think it hits the nail on the head.
MAGAots:
SEE? EVERYONE IS HAVING FUN! NOT A WOKE ASPECT IN SIGHT!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME ON THIS MATTER!
The re-release fixed the woman problem
No misogyny if no women 💯
Rest assured, the women are still in the kitchen. it’s just behind a wall now so they don’t bother the men.
Exactly. Women wouldn’t and shouldn’t enjoy this man’s game. /s
Can’t misrepresent women if you don’t represent them. Taps forehead.
Real “I can’t be racist towards a race that no longer exists” energy.
saudi arabia approves this approach
I just want to see the featureless Rumpus Room fading off infinitely into an eternal void.
Spicy/gross take: The woman are still in the picture, but under the table.
:(
The scary part is, that for them “everyone” is having fun. Because women are usually not included in their everyone.
If course not, “everyone” refers to people, not things.
“Women have fun in the kitchen, where they belong!”
I have this version of Battleship.
It is crazy; that this seemed like a good idea to put on the box, at any point in the past.
(It’s because they’re women)
women aren’t family ; they are posessions
gasp!!!
What’s the problem? It’s just like my favorite book, Men Are From Mars, Women Belong In The Kitchen Making Me A Fried Bologna Sandwich.
Can I share this in [email protected] it’s right up our street
Only if you pay OP royalties per click
OK but those dishes better be done before you do.
/s also it’s not oc so it’s definitely fair game for stealing/crossposting
Fuck you for making me laugh at this.
Haha thanks 😊
