MTG Salvation

jesus christ i thought that maybe mtgsalvation was the one platform i didn't have to constantly fight with sjws on but i guess nothing lasts forever

christ this is the problem though isn't it...the stupid pointless tribalism in my favorite gaming community.

one person makes a stink when they leave and suddenly its the biggest deal in magic, but y'know what there are a ton of people who leave every single day and its not because they were harassed by Nazis...it's because they have a dissenting opinion AND YOU CALL THEM NAZI!!!! And then you all do this virtue signalling crap to say "Oh look what all you did you made a cosplayer leave the community" and those of us who had nothing to do with it have to sit back and take being called nazis by articles like this, And then the writer not only has the audacity to say that the majority of the community is a bunch of rightwing militants and that we're not aloud to be mad that she called us that but has to be ashamed of ourselves

Now to adress a HUGE ******* PROBLEM with this article the utter closed mindedness. I'm not a Nazi i hate Nazis' and i disagree with them but the problem here is what you said about "Nazi Sympathy" Now do i think that actual Nazi Sympathizers who go "well i mean maybe Hitler is okay to kill the jews" (looking at you Edward VIII) is acceptable? of course not however, Understanding that these are people, with an opinion and a thought process just as valid as your own is absolutely necessary if you intend to change their mind you can't make anyone your full enemy if you hope to redeem them. These people are americans they get a say even if we don't like it the only thing we can do is change how they thik and the only way to do that is in small steps with sympathy for their mistake. I doubt thats what you meant but it's very dangerous to tell people to remove sympathy they share with people....use your head

If you want to claim that writing an article attacking conservative minded players is okay and isn't comparable to harassing other groups of players because of identity then i have bad news for you it's the same damn thing You Demonize every one who is different, and it's not because they're women or because of their skin its because of what they think!! and yet you want to point the finger at us when the company who makes our game misrepresents us. you think we didn't notice Spike, Tournament Grinder, now i've been playing for almost ten years i've known a fair number of tournament grinders/spike players i've known maybe two women who fit that description the majority are Large guys with beards, not stereotypical hipster punky lebians

now writing this it hit me "oh god...this is gamergate again isn't it? they've decided that videogaming is too big and now it's us" good god we can't do a #MagicGate it would kill the game...sales are already nose diving the game can't take controversial crap for the love of god if you possibly cared about magic the gathering you wouldn't write this inflammatory crap please don't ruin this site please don't ruin this game....i won't lie it sucks to hear about players leaving the game but it happens. pointing fingers and saying "these people are the problem" isn't going to help anybody all it does is stir up pointless arguments and fights

This was mostly a rant and not the most well construcred argument and i think i might have a higher word count than the article itself LOL but seriously the only thing i hae left to say i guess is this....This is a game it's an awesome game the people who play it are pretty cool... all of them with all their different opinions and different backgrounds we can't start attacking each other if you get mad at someone then just remember, we're all here to play and if you want to beat someone then beat them on the table not with words and not with aggression.
