Campaign is launched, two nice new colors. Very unusual color choices in playing cards. I'm in. ;)

I'm still wondering about the title of the deck - "Impressions Foil Femme." Where's the "femme" part come in? Anything different about the faces, or are they insinuating that the colors are somehow feminine?
They posted that it is exactly what you guys are theorizing, they are making a deck that is more feminine based on their 'extensive color research' leading them to Pink and Mint to make a deck that is spitting in the face of gender neutrality.

It's a great marketing idea, if they're looking to piss off independently-minded women who find things like this offensive.

People who are easily offended tend to be very easy to piss off, whether independently minded women or Alfred the mechanic. Gender has very little to play in ones ability to be offended at something. In my experiences some people look to be offended just so they can put on the show, laughably sad but unfortunately true. I don't think these decks are going to actually piss anyone off, I could be wrong and someone may be having a melt down because they called the campaign Foil Femme. I also find it very odd that they went with Foil Femme by the way, it's just weird as hell haha. In all seriousness though, it doesn't matter what they call the campaign. People are either going to back or not.
I've seen some chatter about not wanting to back because they're not different enough from their previous foil back campaign, just a recolor. This is something I find far more interesting than what the named their campaign. Everyone has their reasons for not supporting this or that, sure. One reason is just as good as any other, but this one just blows my mind. :mindf-ck:
How many collections have expensive bike recolors in them that aren't foil backed at all? There's so many it's pretty much impossible to count. Going with what could be considered small ball in comparison, how many collections have expensive recolors of Tally-Ho's? They're not as popular as bikes still, loads of collections have them. Not many of these two decks which come in a plethora of colors see a foil back treatment. I find it very curious where this double standard comes from and why it persists.
