Secondly, the heavier decision. Over the past few days, and earlier during the initial teaser season, a number of cards for the "The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-Earth" set include characters who are black, or "non-white-European". The response to this has been abhorrent. The majority of our community is welcoming, and very friendly, and we take pride in being a welcoming space for LGBT+ and persons of color. But, people who visited these threads, especially ones about Aragorn, may have seen comments that outright use racial slurs, comments from neo-nazi accounts, comments that are incredibly demeaning to non-white people. We have banned users aggressively for this, but clearly it has not been enough, as even today, the community interference is rampant. Quite frankly, it's upsetting to see this kind of reaction on this sub.

How can they be a welcoming space when I'm not even allowed to be catty?
