Just went to buy it on Amazon Uk as a Christmas present .. showing as out of stock. Maybe there's been a rush today.

interesting Molly, it was in stock earlier.

Foodfiend, hopefully someone will come along with the answer. Thinking about it there could be loads and loads of cases like hers.

I think the EP thing is because it references Elliott's name "before she dyed it", and therefore "deadnames" Elliott.

(And Elliott always having been a man, of course, would underline how ridiculous we pathetic women are, always envious of masculine genius and achievements and desperately appropriating them...)

I also still have a monthly direct debit to Oxfam. I must have donated for more than 20 years - probably far longer. I kept donating after Haiti, but now think I will stop and write explaining why.

Is there any direct info from Oxfam about this yet, besides the quote in the Mail? I would like to see it confirmed in black and white, as I find it so difficult to believe - obviously more fool me!

Ah yes, deadnaming. Still, how can it be offensive if the game was produced before EP even knew EP was a man?

I'm guessing the inspirational bit was about being an out successful lesbian actor.

I neither shop at nor donate to Oxfam because of their policies regarding women.

Yes, I now donate old clothes to our local hospice shop, but kept the monthly donation to Oxfam going.

The card game was arriving soon, I wonder if they did a re print without Elliot Page?

The pack is on Amazon but only a few left, more on the way.

Someone reviewing has "updated" their pack to "wonder humans" and edited EP's card...

Dammit - wish I hadn't bought those Christmas cards cheap in the January sales now. Once they're used up I won't buy any more.

Bloody hell. I'm cancelling my monthly contribution and writing to them.

Christ

Utterly speechless

I'm so furious, I've already cancelled (£30 a month, which was a lot for us), and emailed them as well to complain.

I guess looking at the silver lining, that frees up a bit of money to donate again to Jo Phoenix come November.

So they’ve admitted a game with the word Woman in it, is problematic?

@KittenKong

Inspirational how though? What did they do to inspire women (can’t say that I know much about them until the recent turn of events)

Calling Page and Emma Watson "inspirational" is scraping the barrel.

It’s like a pantomime - women (booooo!) trans and non binary (yey!!!!).

The one thing that has been specifically designed to promote women has been “all genders mattered”.

How do they ever expect to help women and girls around the world with that attitude?

Haven't withdrawn this

Get thee to Gateshead. Copies of bingo and happy families games for sale at the BALTIC.

@334bu

Given all the scandals Oxfam has hanging over it , discarding a game celebrating women because it doesn't confirm to Oxfam's "values" really takes the cake.

Yep, it’s a distraction isn’t it. Beer and circuses, look over there, not here.

@CompleteGinasaur

Probably paranoia to the max, but didn't this only get dropped into the GC Christmas shopping thread yesterday....?

Anyone able to link to this thread please?

It's here @Nemorth

Oxfam are misogynistic bastards; what else is new.

I’ve just taken a look at that Twitter thread and see not one message of support, nor in the quote tweets.
Many people cancelling their direct debits though.
