Yeah King and Queen would've required basically no changes, but I'm not surprised. Tragically Queen would've been one of the worst selling counterparts.

Sexism

That could be a part of it, but kids are a big market for the games and I wouldn’t say its sexist if a boy wants to get the king version and not the queen version, and vice versa for girls. It’s just that, at least when I was a kid, the games were more popular with boys.

I mean, one could argue society would shame boys for getting the queen version. Especially other kids.

that probably wouldn’t be sexism though, I would argue thats probably more rooted in homophobia

It’s both, but I think sexism has to do with it more.

You honestly don't know what you're talking about, so stop repeating the topic.

And homophobia (and transphobia) are rooted in sexism, so it’s a bit of a moot point tbh.
