those people need a job.. all of them

Does the god of social justice have both hands?

Actually tyr is blind and one handed. I think hes already the god of social justice

If you haven't paid close attention, this is actually pretty unsurprising, MTG has been among the most cucked franchises. They've been completely taken over by identity politics for several years now, at first just pandering with banning sexy art and putting in LGBT characters and conspicuous empowered black women and whatnot. But then it started spilling over into hostility and stuff like banning players and artists for the perception of holding controversial viewpoints, policing their social media, even a conspicuous silence and complete failure to do anything when a gay antifa SJW player tried to ambush and beat a Trump supporting MTG personality they had banned for wrongthink. Wizards are very, very deep down he rabbit hole and have been.

And the thing is, its impossible to appease SJWs. They will turn on their own and eat their 'allies' 10 times out of 10, and the more you feed them the stronger they become. Alec Holowka was a fatal example of that. Wizards has been getting buttslammed on social media by the black lives matter crowd for the past few weeks, who are accusing them of not having enough forced diversity in design & development teams and making very vague and nonsensical accusations of racism. Like saying this card is racist because it was in an Indian-themed set and has P/T 7/11:



They're going absolutely nuts, read up on it here:

As far as the playerbase goes...

Reactions are overwhelmingly negative and dumbfounded at how stupid they're being. And that's notable because /r/magicTCG is basically a feminazi Tumblr headquarters and will ban anything even vaguely non-PC on sight

The more I think about it though, the more I think it's the wrong path.

Take cleanse as an example. Black in D&d does not represent black people, it's reanimation, demons, rot, etc. I think it's actually detriment to think people can't distinguish between black people and what that card says. The color white in magic is not white people, but it's cleansing the rot, demons and filth of the plane or world. In no where in the magic universe does it say that's black people. It does not even insinuate it.

To me it's absurd that there's an assumption that people can't seperater the meaning of something from current day or past events.

On my phone now so excuse the shit response.

Wizards is adding race consciousness to the color pie, and only from the lens of social justice. It's okay for a black card like Virtue's Ruin to say "destroy all white creatures", its not okay for a white card like Cleans to say "destroy all black creatures". White has to answer for decades of being the oppressor color. Don't expect to see black associated with unclean or evil traits anymore, calling them filthy or demons is racist.

Also jews aren't subject to that same protection, anti-semitic tropes are perfectly fine

Iso all knights that have protection from black as well as 4 copies of akroma. Going to be my table top deck going forward. Mono white only.

First I thought there was a simple solution for this problem:




But then I contemplated this a bit more... all those white creatues which have "protection from black" would not be affected by darkest hour, so they would refuse to race mix and retain their pure whiteness. And why do those racist white creatures insist on their "protection from black" in the first place?
So I guess we now must remove all instances of protection from black from the game due to racism.

What in the world. The road we are headed where history is some how conflated to mean that we still think in the same manner is wild. Even things like not using context such as the playing cards and just assuming racism is crazy.
