"I don't want it to be, forgive the term, 'Girlfriend Mode'..."
Please can we all, never again, use this phrase ever? Hopefully then it will disappear into a place where it can't hurt anyone. Can you imagine saying, "homosexual mode"? It's very hurtful. Using it perpetuates sexism. Sorry for the rant. Love the show, love what you do Jeff C and have muchos respect for you and heck I've said worse in my time, on air. Maybe we can think of a better way to say it and get that trending instead?
P.s. Don't take away my Zelda hearts!!!

It is pretty insulting to any female gamer out there, but still - most guys who play games have girlfriends with little to no interest in games, and your girlfriend is the one person you'd most likely want to talk into trying a game out with you to see if she likes it.
I don't agree with it, but it's not the worst thing in the world.
