I get the idea behind trying to make things a little more "inclusive" - there, in some scenarios, can be legitimate barriers to entry into fields that are largely dominated by straight white male people for those who lack one or more of these characteristics - but this isn't really one of those scenarios
You can play poker (and even climb the ranks) no matter who you are - white, black, male, female, straight, gay, trans, Christian, athiest, doesn't matter. Poker doesn't really discriminate, but it's just a fact that most people who play poker are straight men. There's nothing inherently bad or "regressive" about this. This disparity hasn't been artificially maintained in any way, and isn't the result of complex sociopolitical issues - women just gamble a bit less often than men do, and they generally seem to prefer other forms of gambling
So it makes perfect sense that their marketing team would just super lean into that. For reasons I don't quite understand, there's a perception among some men that poker is a markedly masculine activity - "playing poker with the boys" or some such. People that think this way are probably more likely to be recreationals who play poker as a social activity. Pretty genius marketing if you think about it

I've seen the occasional positive reference to Andrew Tate on these forums, but I think pretty much anyone here with two brain cells to rub together can tell that he's a grifter clown. No way that NVG is full of incels who love him lol
