Magic the Gathering removes "racist" cards from its library

[Corn Pop Hombre]

I miss it. I wish they would put out more goblins vs elves type sets . Buy 4 and you can usually have 2 really awesome decks to play with minimal fuss. Im never gonna play type 2 again in my life but i love casual games. I was a pretty solid legacy player before the fire.

I new you were just irritating the goon squad and im not legit triggered

Online yu gi oh and magic is where its at these days. Don't have to physically travel to play games. In and out quickly. Don't have to sink thousands into it.

It's more of a "young adult" card game, to be fair.

Yea i can go with that. I was way serious about it from about 11 to 22 or so.

 

[Social Distance Warrior]

Yea dude everyone i know plays or played at one point.

I was really hard core about it til losin years worth of sets in a fire.

Maybe you know a buncha meatheads or something

I wasnt trying to shit on you guys, for real. All the power to you. I know Two.

And believe me, I'm the last to lecture anyone on what is "cool".

I play chess and like Star Trek

I just cant get into it like that. Bustin open boxes and spending hours with my record collection building that perfect deck was my fave part of the game.

I cant get behind a kindle over a real book either. Im still stuck in the 90s.

I feel that. I know the social and physical aspect is a huge part of it for a lot of guys. I just like to veg out and focus on the strategy part and not have to deal with people lol.

Goblins are supposedly making a comeback in core set 2021.

So...the founder of blm is a marxist...and therefore a private company decided to not be racist... because of marxism? Your quote had literally no relation to what is being discussed.

The events of the past few weeks are riots stemming from the death of George Floyd which has been decried by #BLM as part of their ongoing campaign against police brutality. This is the movement which has been terrorizing businesses and individuals who dare to oppose their label. Grant Napear was a recent example who simply responded to DeMarcus Cousins asking for his thoughts on #BLM, "I think all lives matter!" He was suspended from his job of over 30 years for that tweet.

Corporations have reacted by scrambling to virtue signal their support for the hysterical Marxist movement to avoid being the next sacrificial lamb offered up in the press as an example of a intolerable racist; because, presumably, by their logic & rhetoric, it is mere political opposition which perpetuates deaths like Floyd's. Indeed, #BLM leaders and liberal supporters of the movement around the country have declared on social media or in Op-Eds that even less than this is a transgression: silence is complicity has become the motto. The implied threat is clear, and the result has been companies like this one responding by proactively demonstrating their purity to appease the Marxist movement.

I guess I gave you too much credit in assuming you didn't read the OP. Clearly you lacked the capacity to understand it even once this was pointed out to you.

Who is the racist? Are you calling me a racist? If so, I'd like to hear the basis for this accusation.

He's deeply indoctrinated and highly radical. you wont get past his last 2 brain cells.

He'll eventually end up quoting this with an emotionally unstable response per usual.

This was my reaction to opening this thread:

Was expecting some extremely vague and strained interpretation. But yeah no, that card doesn't really need to exist in a fictional game.

You blame the BLM as a whole for the riots and destruction of businesses?

That’s equally as ridiculous and flat out stupid as calling all cops racist murderers because of what Chauvin did to Floyd

Yes drawing a bunch of CT connections between things that have no connection and making giant leaps in logic means I lack reading comprehension.

You think the movement to stop having police executing black people in the streets is some kind of marxist plot? Lmaoooo. You people are all caricatures. Like I cant even parody you because your own genuine positions are self parody.

"People wanting their lives to have value is a marxist plot!!" Hahahahhahaha

That whole paragraph is so funny. Blm is a marxist plot to take over the country. Therefore...magic the gathering is marxist? Or... they...idk.

 

[Wet Blanket]

Yea i can go with that. I was way serious about it from about 11 to 22 or so.

Same. Started shortly after Legends expansion was out. Had lots of OOP cards. Black borderd Icy Manipulators, Singing Tree, BB Shivan Dragon, all the greats. My friend left his Lich deck at a payphone in the mall and lost a ton of super rare and expensive cards.

I don’t respect his opinion on anything. He gave me dubs for repeatedly, successfully poking holes in his logic until he had no response. I’m doing it again in this thread and he’ll continue to ignore me. I don’t engage him in an argument, I just explain why his logic is flawed and he melts down.

you're unstable lol

 

[Squarechoke]

You mean the point I was discussing. He didn't discuss any of the points. Nevertheless, no, you're wrong. Towards this irrelevant semantic quibble intended to distract from the primary issue-- the OED:

The correct term would be "Naziphile" unless someone would like to produce evidence he belongs to an actual Nazi political organization.

You just helped me prove that the definition isn't solely restricted to members of the National Socialistic German Workers' Party. Thanks.

You also don't disprove the other specific definition I gave by cherry-picking one dictionary since I didn't say that all dictionaries define it like that, I said that there are common ones that do, which is a fact.

My style was like big frank or conor . I play red white and green come out banging and am lookin to overwelm early. I hated playing against blue control decks . I love goblins elves and cheap cards that give me army plus 1 plus1. Cards like extinction and engineered plauge make me rage.

 

[Corn Pop Hombre]

you're unstable lol

You have a nasty habit of making personal attacks when im sticking to arguments and ideas. Any time you have nothing to say you just starting flinging out incoherent personal attacks. Speaks volumes chump.

Reminds me of someone.

Imagine obsessing over a child's card game and thinking that their attempt to stay relevant and generate sales is the end of western civilization.

You people seriously need to get a life. Its hilarious when the racist right gets mad at capitalism and thinks they're actually mad at Marxism or something. Peak comedy

Hahaha. I like magic. Don't play it myself although I did when i was a kid. Im just trying to rub salt in a racists wounds.

Talks like a racist
Walks like a racist
Quacks like a racist
Acts like a racist

You just might be.....a racist.
