10 Reasons why chess should trigger everyone (late-night thoughts)

#1: Being white is a clear advantage.

#2: The board is overpopulated with men. There are even more buildings and animals than women on the field...

#3: There is a wealthy guy on top who needs to be protected.

#4: The purpose of the low income population is to serve as cover for the wealthy guy and often get killed in their pursuit.

#5: The wealthy guy has a special move where he grabs some valuable property and leaves his wife outside with the bishop.

#6: Due to a lack of choice peasants can only move in one direction in life. Their only hope: Escape this male patriarchy, and get a sex change.

#7: On average more than three horses get killed during a game of chess.

#8: Even though there are four perfectly capable defense structures on the board someone decided to create the wall out of poor people.

#9: Ladies first? Nope! In order for the woman to move a man has to let her out first.

#10: It was made sure that the two guys who became bishops would never see each other again.
Are we sure the pawns are men? And the Queen really runs the show, without a good Queen the King is nothing. But she does get used a lot and definitely gets around......the King is definitely lazy........

I find it more triggering to see the Cross everywhere as my God is the God of Pizza, female.

@MyRatingIs1900 :
You seem like the sort of chap who would benefit from the clousems chess nomenclature system. An excerpt:
"...Personally, I refer to my b-Knight as Dwayne... In order to overcome the idea that chess is sexist with regards to the whole king/queen thing, I have developed a solution: player 1's king and queen will be named Lana Wachowski and Larry Wachowski, respectively, while player A's queen and king will be named Andrew Wachowski and Lilly Wachowski, respectively."

In Russia, it's even worse, because there're no women on the board, we have the "ferz" (something like "vizier" or "councellor" I guess) instead of the queen. And instead of the bishop, it's the elephant. Obviously it's because we don't respect women and religion, durrrrrrr
PS Come to think of it, our pawns are female. Is it a good thing or a bad thing?
