A First Step Towards Mayocide in the MtG community

13  2017-12-08 by not_ubernostrum

Well, after a couple weeks the hammer has finally dropped and Wizards of the Coast has issues some bannings for safespace violations in the MtG community: See here and here. This sends the sub into its usual lockdown as noted cancermod /u/ubernostrum quickly waves the banhammer around on /r/magic in order to silence wrongthink before it's wrongthought. Despite this, however, the circlejerk is still broken somewhat by people who think that maybe just maybe the game's Code of Conduct should not be enforced at the whims of twitter SJW lynch mobs.

Expect all of this shit to be locked down / deleted within a couple hours when it's recognized that people are incapable of polite disagreement over the issue, with the only reasonable recourse being to simply ban all members of the wrong side permanently.

Also, here's some bonus MTG drama - a recent high-ranking judge apparently forgot that it's 2017 and used his station to actually make a pass at a woman at a Magic event. Of course not only is the community not allowed to inquire into more details, but in fact is explicitly told that they shouldn't expect sympathy for the judge being fucked out of his role because that will make the alleged victim upset. Maybe "listen and believe" should be written into the IPG?

As an additional note, since my previous account /u/unternostrum was banned for "impersonation" despite my never pretending to be noted SJW cancermod /u/ubernostrum nor no one actually thinking I was, I would like to be especially clear with this new account that I am not noted SJW cancermod /u/ubernostrum. I mean, why would I or anyone else want to be associated with noted SJW cancermod /u/ubernostrum? This account was created to make it as clear as possible that I am not noted SJW cancermod /u/ubernostrum nor do I wish to impersonate him and for the sake of clarity I'll be attaching this disclaimer to any posts I make here under this account.

More than 3 pings don't work. /u/ubernostrum why are you the way you are?

You care about a card game for kids. Associating you with a cancer mod would be a step up.

All the kids who played magick at my school were all faggits.

Hey. Be respectful. We prefer to be called 'The Gay BLT'. #whysoangry

Have you considered either not giving a fuck about a card game for kids or killing yourself?

MtG = Mayo, the Genocide.

Fuck all of you, you can hide behind all your self-righteous rhetoric and false claims of "inclusivity" but this is clearly a move to oust one of the few POC's in the MTG.

Y'all are a bunch of racist nerds, have fun playing your rich white children's card game.

Awww, my first fanboi!

Haha, yeah upholding white supremacy must be fun!

[citation needed]

OK, Now when a white person who clearly supports ousting a POC is accused of racism you demand a fucking citation like you're my fucking college professor but you take the word of white women as gospel? Have you even read "To Kill a Mockingbird" you fucking hick.

And wow I'm sooo glad the MTG community is so "inclusive" and not a bunch of creeps that want to creep on women and eliminate their strongest competitors - black men.

I'm asking you substantiate your implied claim that I'm upholding white supremacy.

I'm not denying racism, or making fun of you. Okay, maybe a little fun. Only a little. Just the tip. I'll stop. I'll pull out. But that racism thing is real.

It's self evident. You ran a black man out of your community based solely on the words of a white woman. This is small southern town Jim Crow era racism. Are black men not allowed to hit on white women in your group? Do you personally know any BMWF couples that are part of the MTG community and were you able to resist the urge to expel them for miscegenation?

You're black? Then why do you hate black men? Or is it just the ones who talk to white women?

I don't hate black men any more than I hate any other person, group or political party.

Speaking with /u/firstacct2 is a compelling reason for me to change my mind, though.

I don't hate black men

Then why this?

You ran a black man out of your community based solely on the words of a white woman.

I don't hate black men Then why this? You ran a black man out of your community based solely on the words of a white woman.

... That's not what happened, tho.

Denial is not just a river in Egypt, Akroan.

... well, okay. Maybe it's not THAT small.

Oh I'm sure there's a tiny penis involved, I just don't get why you hate interracial dating enough to ban white women from game shops.

Yeah, my bad. You know how it is, you wake up one day, someone puts words in your mouth, and suddenly ...

... BAM, you're committing hate crimes left and right. Happens to everyone, right?

Mostly Magic players it seems.

HOLY FUCK! SUPPORTING THE EXPULSION OF BLACK MEN FROM YOUR COMMUNITY BECAUSE THEY HIT ON WHITE WOMEN IS RACIST YOU DUMB FUCK!

Hey, you good? You seem like you need a pill or something.

Unrelated: I really need to stop feeding the trolls.

It's pretty obvious now that you're a black woman that hates black men that sleep with white women. Just keep yourself safe because those creeps you play MTG with are likely closet rapists.

Well, takes one to know one, I guess.

SICK BURN

Don't drag me into this.

You've banned interracial dating? Jesus, man, it's 2017.

Well, we also banned music and dancing. Seemed like the right thing to do at the time. /s

No, obviously not.

Well obviously you're going to ban dancing at your white power rally. Those people don't have any rhythm.

It's not banned, so much as it's strongly discouraged.

Just like the catholic church 'banned' priests from touching kids.

YuGiOh is the game for those who resist systemic racism.

Many POC experience the [[Pot of Greed]] of anti-blackness every day, but only 1%ers go for a [[Treasure Cruise]].

Also, at my LGS, YuGiOh is a racially diverse group of teen boys, and MTG is 25+ whiteys. If only MtG wasn't the better game...

FYI everyone the Jewrantheses around Pot of Greed is an antisemitic dogwhistle

Hey /u/firstacct2, this thread isn't going the way you wanted, is it?

sorry not sorry

Wait, so you're an antisemite? Not that I'm surprised really.

Wait you post in exmormon, so you're obviously not a black woman. wtf

Wow. You found a deleted post that I admitted to deleting. SO SEXY YOU GET ALL THE POINTS.

... Buuuut ... your facts are all made up, and the points don't matter.

So, uh, are you upset that you're wrong all the time? I don't know how that feels, but it must sting A LITTLE.

... Name checks out.

It's a happy coincidence that my post quality is very low.

I created this account to reply "This but unironically" to every post /u/ironicshitpostr made, but much like how amazon.com started out manually ordering many copies of a book from a distributor and returning all but one in order to simulate a large catalog of titles available, I decided that I would only take the time to write a bot if the results were good just doing it manually.

Except for one or two posmens (positive mentions), and a handful of upvotes, I was trolling into the void, so I decided to just say the pot of greed meme in the context of some moron named /u/firstacct2's "irony". Maybe its Geordie Tait, and he's completely earnest.

Also note that Pot of Greed draws 2 cards and Cruise draws 3. Cruise draws 3 because of Recall, obviously. Why does recall draw three? We need to reference a few moments in time here. 1425, when the Regius Poem was written, and freemasonry arose as a conspiracy against god and king. 1781, when the articles of confederation were written, and those same white merchant began to form the mechanism that would chain humanity within the cage of liberal rationality forever. 1967, when the Yippies levitated the Pentagon.

eh, you can just imagine the rest from here.

You should change your name to 'OccasionalQualityShitpost'.

Oh thank you, how lovely!

Don't worry, I change my name regularly even though I know it doesn't stop the machines from developing a rough idea of my identity, and correlating this account with all my previous ones.

also, here is a little more since I'm irritated that I didn't even bother to finish the first paragraph.

1967, when the Yippies levitated the Pentagon, and showed us that an insurrectionary movement, one that would restore the unknown, was possible.

Conclude that paragraph with something confirming that this is about the 23/17 enigma. Next paragraph is entirely a history of speculative masonry. At some point we will have to discuss that Mana is the natural aura from which Freemasonry's despised other derives their power, which terrifies the dominant colonial society. The power to refuse work, to lib

I'm a bot, bleep, bloop. Someone has linked to this thread from another place on reddit:

I'm pretty excited about this. I've been following some magic stuff because of the drama last time. Personally I hope they all start reporting each other en mass and WOTC bans more and more people till it reaches a fever pitch and kills the game itself. It'll be great to read about how the cards are becoming more and more worthless and people abandoning the game and Hasbro losing millions of dollars.

I mean I think it's going to happen anyway because the game is retarded. There are literally people spending thousands of dollars on pieces of paper or digital something or another. These idiots NEED to have their toys taken from them.

Yep, one thing that's interesting here is that they didn't just ban the people who had been the subject of public ire, they apparently banned a bunch of shitposting randos as well. The message is pretty clear that if you piss off Twitter you'll be banned - we'll see how that works out for the game.

There's always this pretextual notion of "oh once we ban the stinky dudes from Magic than women and PoC will flood in and the game will have a golden age" that some people seem to actually believe, and we'll see how the predictable disappointment is dealt with when this doesn't happen and a bunch of numales have to explain to senior managers why they fanned the flames of a culture war in their customer base during a time of sluggish growth.

So THAT'S what happened to your other account!

Hm no I don't think Wizards gets to ban Reddit accounts.

I'm glad the neckbearded cardboard community takes harassment more seriously than the gay porn community.

Neckbeard? It's down to my nipples.

Also, I have a gay friend that I don't harass. Well, she's more like my dom, but w/e.

They don't, cause it breaks down along the usual lines where it's not seen as harassment when women do it to men, poc do it to white people, etc. As illustrated by one of the current top /r/drama posts.

Gaming drama = cancer

truth

At this rate, we'll be having drama about Woozworld and Habbo Hotel. I think we actually had the second one already.

When you were born, your parents probably thought the world of you. They thought you'd grow up to be a doctor! A lawyer! Someone who would change the world for the better!

Instead, you're on Reddit fighting over some shitty card game for kids. Sad.

Hey, doctors and lawyers need hobbies too.
