I have this version of Battleship.

All that 50's "advertising" that was essentially social conditioning and oppression, hear me out, because all the women had to do all the jobs while the men were gone. They got a taste of freedom, their own money and skills. They were all like, how hard can it be, boys do it. But when the men came back they had to shove them back in the box, they had to effectively put the cat back in the bag, it required a huge effort of bullying from the government and all. Like they hit hard with this kinda pervasive stuff, everywhere. That's when women were forced into the "get in the kitchen" role. Now we get to have both! Work AND be predominantly responsible for the majority of the house labor and child raising, yay!
Nothing wrong with this image. Men in that era had other expectations. The game was marketed to men because it was "battle ships". Products for the girls were marketed in similar gender stereotypes of the time. Even today some family's enjoy this dynamic. Many women like being stay at mom parents that cook and clean inside the house while the men are there to empty gutters and take out the trash.
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.
Even if it's hallucinated by the AI who enlarged the image, I like how the wife has smeared lipstick on her like Joker
I think that's a knife in her left hand
The girl whispers "do it mom"
I think this meme is quite a bit older than the AI craze.
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.
So bad we went so woke, it was a happier world before.
/s
People were so much better looking when they smiled.
/s
For some it for sure was
You know what they say: go woke, you blew up my battleship.
“G-4”
“You woke my battleship!”
So if I capsize in your thighs, high tide, B-5, you sunk my battleship
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.
I like that this demon boy is obviously holding that poor family hostage and they have to indulge his every bullshit.
(It’s because they’re women)
women aren't family ; they are posessions
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
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.
:(
saudi arabia approves this approach
Rest assured, the women are still in the kitchen. it's just behind a wall now so they don't bother the men.
No misogyny if no women 💯
