I'm not sure unfortunately. There were a lot, and after about 15 minutes there was still probably 1/3 left, so I think anyone who was "oh yes I must have one" got one. They are all gone now, but honestly the sentiment is worth more than the cupcakes specifically. That you organized it at all made some people's day (or week
) for sure!
Yeah, I had the impression you people are having a really rough week. Glad we could brighten a dark time for you.
My personal letter wasn't touching and sentimental like most of them--I had tried to write some things to that effect but they got way too lengthy (I have issues with being concise). But I'll say here that all the stuff that you men and women do to make people feel more welcome and included, really does make a difference. Because isn't entertainment about, well, entertaining and making people feel better, when it doesn't make them reexamine themselves? So even though I've had some downs with BioWare (yeah, I wasn't a big fan of the ending of ME3 AT ALL), doing things like actually including women, PoC, and LGBT folk makes up for a lot.
One thing I can be sure of is that not only can I be a woman AND a hero at the same time in BioWare games, but my lady hero will be treated with the same respect as her male counterpart. She won't be given ridiculous "armor" that's only there to show off her assets, her stats won't be weaker, she won't be relegated by default to the support classes. She gets to be an actual honest-to-goodness hero, a leader, regardless what role in combat or what game-world political opinions she may hold.
