Magic the Gathering removes "racist" cards from its library

[Rational Poster]

Concession accepted.

None was offered. It was a bit of the opposite really.

Rightly calling you out for your constant and rampant pedantry isn't a concession. It's just the truth.

but but he's not a Nazi he's a Neo-Nazi!!!

Not one black person knows what the fuck that game is.

Key board warriors on a karate forum having a bitch-fit over one magic card called prejudice being pulled is peak sherdog.

I sorry they took away your imaginary racist magic spell. Truly horrific.

Lmao @ caring about a card game.

Lmao @ thinking this is just about a card game.

It's exactly about that. It's about a large company pulling one stupid card that was a bad idea from a card game that probably has what, tens of thousands of other cards?

It's a symptom of a larger societal problem, namely the toxic cancel culture being propagated by the weak, the evil, and the intellectually dishonest simps.

I think you'd be surprised.

 

[nostradumbass]

If a company does something that they then what to change due to evolving cultural mores are they allowed to do that without being criticized?

Isn't that exactly what is supposed to happen?

Did you really equate a press release about modding an old card game drawing with book burning?
Jesus this thread. MTGDS

It's not book burning if you make everything digital first and then censor or remove it that way.



Go try to find a copy of Huckleberry Finn that hasn't been censored and changed long after Mark Twain's death. Meriam Webster is changing word definitions at the behest of some 20 year old college student, movies and TV shows that don't make police the villains are being removed.

Why don't you pussies just make your case for censorship instead of denying it happens and then scrambling for excuses when example after example is pointed out and claiming that's not real censorship you didn't like the thing that was censored anyway. Don't be such weasels trying to filibuster and lawyer your way out of any consistent stance. Of you can't have consistent standards or values because your masters leave you constantly having to support something that you previously denied even happens.

It's a symptom of you needing to find something on the internet to bitch about and a handful of silly cards being the best you could come up with.

"this is SO EVIL guys!!!!" lol

It's so irrelevant of a move and even more silly to get mad about. These cards haven't been legal in any popular format for literally decades.

They should nuke all this guy's art from their catalog though and I wouldn't be surprised if that's coming soon as well, he's a prick.

The party that had a meltdown over someone kneeling on a sideline and called for it to be banned is sobbing over a company discontinuing a couple magic wizard cards calling that censorship.

Is the sky ever not falling in your world?

Concession accepted.

So he's a white racist wannabe Nazi who plugged in his racists art in a card that's now being removed or adjusted?...

what's the problem? this was obviously a known issue within the community for a while apparently based on what I've read in this thread.

Unfortunately for you, they haven't changed the definition of the word censorship yet. Learn what words mean before making an ass of yourself.

A private company has full rights over what they do or don't put out.

This isn't some government ordered regulation. It's a private company expressing their first amendment rights how they see fit.

Huck Finn in its original form is still the standard. In fact, my daughter read it in school last year so I did as well. I'm not aware of any changes that occurred. Can you point me to what you are talking about?

Remember this guy that got banned?

That’s quite a crack on the right.

Who's "the party" and what does "ban kneeling" even mean? Do you ever have any thoughts of your own or is it all just tribalism and do and support whatever your masters tell you to? Maybe you should take a knee in the corner and let the adults have a discussion.

That is simply not true, but I suppose you thinking that is kind of the goal of censorship. Give it a little time and people will forget the original even existed. I'm afraid you and your daughter got a sanitized version.

Who's the party? The elected leader of the conservative party tweeted this weeekend “Could it be even remotely possible that in Roger Goodell’s rather interesting statement of peace and reconciliation, he was intimating that it would now be O.K. for the players to KNEEL, or not to stand, for the National Anthem, thereby disrespecting our Country & our Flag?”

what does ban kneeling mean? It means banning kneeling dummy. In 2018, the league tried instituting a rule that banned on-field protests during the anthem. Derp.

But now you incels are triggered over magic the gathering cards?
