Quote from ccc1522 »Quote from SilvosRogueElemental »Could everyone please shut up about “virtue signaling” and all the other terms that act as a thin veil for you not liking women very much? If this product was all legendary male characters to celebrate Father’s Day or something none of you would have any issue with it.
Virtue signaling is a thing though.. everyone likes women, in fact no one had a problem with liliana, nissa, chandra etc etc they were beloved by the fanbase. But its been so long that WOTC has been pandering hard that now any innocent thing is seen as pandering bc people just want the regular game back to normal without all the pandering. And the fact that they have never released a legendary male characters product kind of points to this being another pandering job. If i didnt like women id say it. There's no thin veil here its just getting old at this point.
What is "back to normal"? You mean back before there was representation and a deliberate movement towards inclusivity? Being attracted to women isn't the same as liking, respecting, empathizing, or in any other capacity seeking equity for women.
Virtue signaling is a thing insofar as any made up thing is... a thing. I see no good reason to cast a negative shadow over someone's intentions just because their virtue is obvious, or deliberate. If the alternative is being inconspicuously selfish, then I'll take virtue signaling any day of the week. First, though, I think the term needs some shifting to repair its negative connotation.

Also, there's not much synergy between Dalakos, Crafter of Wonders and the rest of the set is there?
Like the references to my favorite god, Ephara, too
