    Borderlands 2 lead designer refers to the easy setting as "Girlfriend mode" - Another example of pervasive casual sexism in the industry.

        @femfreq Pretty lame to call it that. Though not a difficulty setting, but a skill tree a character uses to help.http://bit.ly/PdcXRU

        @femfreq Ugh. Do they call hard 'I live in my mom's basement and have no real life'? Because if they're going for stereotypes they should.

        @femfreq They should have called easy mode the gateway drug to Borderlands. Allowing you hook friends and family on the game.

        @femfreq Such nonsense! We personally know many hardcore female gamers who could out play any male gamer. It's about skill, not gender!

        @femfreq Just a correction. The girlfriend mode was a talent tree branch for a character. Not a game difficulty setting.

        @femfreq however it annoys me that the character for "noob" players is a woman. So being a woman = non combatant #stereotyping

        @femfreq it has been rectified by the company as an unfortunate bad term used by a fool. Something we saw recently with Tomb Raider.

        @femfreq "Non-Gamer Spouse Mode". "Spouse Mode". "Non-Gamer Mode". Nope, still sounds messed up no matter how you slice it.

        @femfreq Not the "easy setting," exactly--a particular character's skill tree--but yes, pervasive casual sexism indeed.
