Error message tells me "You need to update your Chrome browser" when I'm running Safari. Would be more helpful to say "You need to use Chrome instead of Safari".

Didn't test beyond that as I don't have a guitar, was just curious to see what it looked like and thought I'd point that out.

Only men play guitar? Edit: To clarify, of course not only men play guitar, so why the gendered title for this game?

No? I hope you have a problem with the name "Guitar Hero" not being called "guitar being", "guitar person" or "guitar object" instead?

"Hero" is not gendered in modern colloquial English, at least according to my intuition.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

"Hero" is not gendered in modern colloquial English, at least according to my intuition.

Are you sure it isn't? "Heroine" exists as a term specifically for a female hero.

This is probably bait, but arguing that "bro" is gendered in this context is kind of dumb. It's the same idea as "Guitar Buddy."

And it's a play-word on "Guitar Pro", the famous software for musicians.
