Gemmill 34471 Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Whoever was responsible for turning the past few weeks into an argument about Fawlty Towers and League of Gentlemen, so that deleting a few TV episodes became the change that the world needed to see, has done a very, very good job.

Rayvin 4964 Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Magic the gathering has started banning cards "Destroy all non-white creatures" is now gone. "Destroy all black creatures" is gone. These are factions ffs. There are black and white people in each faction. Creatures is not the same as 'race'. Honestly I find this particular development so absurd it's funny. It'll completely break the game though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trophyshy 6434 Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 They have been contorting themselves for years to try to appear morally righteous. And recently released a box of 5 (FIVE) playing cards for around £200. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a card game that has 5 colours representing different factions. On certain cards, certain commands are now racist. Intriguingly they're not racist everywhere, just on cards that you could, if you swapped the meaning of 'faction' with that of 'race', claim were advocating a genocide of black people. Cards that do the same the other way around are apparently fine. Cards which have negative, colour based targeting but which don't destroy things are... fine. I actually now believed WotC, the guys who make it, are racist as fuck. You'd actually have to be in order to think of half of the things they've banned as racist.

I wouldn't disagree with all of them, some are old as fuck. "Stone throwing devils" is one I struggled with until a friend mentioned that this is actually an Islamic cultural thing with some kind of wall somewhere so... yeah that actually is racist. Severely racist. Can't get on board with the board sweeps being racist though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
