Microsoft Receives Sexism Complaints Concerning Xbox One Promotional Letter
Sooo, this is a little sexist, @Xbox…Maybe rethink this? Sincerely, girl who prefers shooting zombies over knitting http://t.co/O1azsaj6Gh

Needless to say, it has raised a fair number of complaints over various channels including Twitter, as you can see from what Danielle Burger voiced above. Of course, Microsoft was fast to respond, removing the “knit” choice in the menu options totally, and a Microsoft spokesperson helped out in the firefighting process, saying, “The letter is fully customizable and we meant no offense, but understand how the defaults could be perceived. We’re making changes to the letter defaults and apologize for the oversight.” It is tricky walking through the politically correct landscape these days for sure!
