Knockers is offensive.  Use Hooters....Chesticles...or Fun bags.

I pretty much agree. I think this is more along the lines of objectifying women than some disdain for the ladies.. I really don't think people use the term misogynistic because they don't know the meaning since the meaning is pretty clear and well known., or because they're attempting some verbal legerdemain, but more likely because they can't think of a word that correctly fits what they're trying to express so they grab the nearest one available.  So I believe it's more an error of convenience than one of intent of ignorance.

Looking at the article for their source

However, several female players, speaking to the popular site Lichess, believe the move is blunder. “Shouldn’t chess – a game reliant on brains rather than breasts – be distancing itself from that kind of reductive and misogynistic line of thinking?” one anonymous female player said.

In other words the reporter read it on the lichess forums. This seems extremely lazy. Am I the only one annoyed that they're pretending this is news? How much is this journalist paid?

I agree. It's definitely not Pulitzer Prize material.

Sadly that passes as "news" now.

I agree... I mean... it's not quite as harmful as pretending COVID is a hoax and promoting anti-mask and anti-vax views... but sure, it's not going to win a Pulitzer.

But they said "the move is a blunder"! Brilliant!

We will always have those that think everything is a hoax, and or conspiracy.

But we won't always have millionaires on TV giving those dumb, minority, and very much deadly views a megaphone, all for the sake of their personal wealth and political power.

I don’t believe they are that many people who think everything is a conspiracy. I think there is a secret cabal that is trying to convince everyone of this.

Which is why i dont watch TV.  I dont like information/opinion/lies/etc. being spoon fed to me.  I like to research and form my own opinion.

I know people that do nothing but watch cnn and believe everything they report.   Just like i know people that watch nothing but fox and believe everything they report.  For the last couple of months i get a stationary bike at the gym so i can watch both of them.  It sadly funny that supposedly well educated adults are paid to lie, give opinion, and bend the truth to fit their agenda, and people just go along with it.

@Ilama47, which minority? How do you count? Those who don’t have any media are not among voices and you counted them minority?

Also if I say 2+2=4 and the entire world says it is 5, since I’m minority it means I’m wrong?

Whatever logical view says, media will call it bigotry, conspiracy, offensive, minority, etc.

That is the definition of not going anywhere, isn't it.

If you really want to read closed-minded, passionately opinionated, partisan news, just read newspapers from the time leading up to and during the American War of 1812.
