    At first when I read it I thought you want to give women breast cancer... But language blunders aside you want to spread the awareness, the thought is nice, not sure who would reveal they have it concerning people on the internet can be very cruel, esp in a game.

    I am sure PWE would do this when they figure out how to maximize a profit from it

    Breast cancer awareness campaigns are always about profit. Breast cancer already has the highest awareness of all cancers and pretty much none of that breast cancer awareness money goes towards actual cancer research. Pink ribbons are a scam.

    I agree with this. Many of the items sold for awareness are pinkwashing, which doesn't actually help those with Breast Cancer, it benefits the companies manufacturing the items. Some of these items could even contribute TO getting breast cancer.

    If it's something you're very passionate about though, there are many things you could do yourself.

    You could:
    *Make a private donation to a charity that helps breast cancer survivors or research
    *Join a walk or event for awareness. You don't have to be athletic, you can volunteer to pass out drinks to the runners.
    *Educate family members and the community (and yourself) on breast cancer risks and prevention
    *Ask a local group if they need help making hats or need donations of something items.

    Your intentions are good, I don't think anybody is picking on you, just being practical.
    Sometimes snarky, but will always bake you cupcakes.

    This. The whole thing has been a scam for at least the past 5 years. If not longer.

    Go to some of those galas that those people throw to celebrate donors, and tell me if they aren't stuffing their pockets with your pity money....
