I rarely see people talking positively about Magic. Individual creators, yes. Comments sections; heck no.

Since I started playing, I've seen players sitting in a torture chamber with the door wide open.

It's very odd to be surrounded by a sea of negativity people choose to subject themselves to.

An annoying thing about Magic is the players saying "Magic is dead" and "that's my breaking point, I'm quitting" every new announcement.

Then, just not quitting the game, so they can do it all again the next time something is announced.

It's been every set since I've started playing. 🫠

So, the next UB set is confirmed via an advertising company driving a vehicle around in public.

Is it fine to openly talk about it or do we usually wait for an "official post"?

Spoilers, it's exactly what everyone was saying it would be.

“The existence of even one ex gay dismantles the central lie of homosexuality, that it is an innate characteristic from birth and therefore should have human rights awarded to it.”

Same shit different era.

Fuck Gavin Newsom. I will never vote for him and you shouldn't either.

Excerpt from an article discussing LGBT+ protections in California legislation. It states that Governor Newsom neither signed nor vetoed certain bills. One bill strengthened protections under Sen. Scott Wiener’s “State of Refuge” law. The highlighted portion reads: “At least four bills directly addressed trans protections,” followed by examples such as healthcare and patient confidentiality, streamlining legal name and gender changes, nondiscrimination in health insurance, and inclusive homelessness programs.

You're doing exactly the same thing so many did during the games release. Like trying to find a justification for playing it. Downplaying its impact.

It's not a good look.

And I'm not having the same arguments again. It's a waste of breath for people who clearly don't care enough.

Hold on. Ally's I hate? There's a little bit of strawmanning happening here.

I just make people aware of the consequences of their actions.

I'm sorry if those people choose to take those actions and feel bad about it afterwards, but this is reality.

Trans people are in very real danger.

I've heard that one before. Even if that were true, there's already a sequel in the works. The success of one project leads to more projects. Thus, there is more money for Rowling.

The only way to win is to not engage with Harry Potter as a brand.

I'm not left or right
I'm a secret third thing (right)

You see it's all about striking a balance
Between criticizing the left and defending the right

I respect all
political viewpoints
It's just a coincidence I only happen to show support for the right wing ones

I'm above all that partisan fighting
Basically I found a way to feel superior to both sides without taking any principled positions

Both sides are equally bad
I think antifascism is the same as fascism and should be treated exactly the same, which says a lot about what I really believe if you think about it

I STAND FOR ABSOLUTELY NOTHING LMAO

With everything this last couple of weeks. I just want to cry.

I'm not okay for so many reasons, and it feels like everything is falling apart.

Send good vibes, please. I'm very very tired.

This appears to be a repeating theme for "liberals" and "apolitical" people.

They want to act like good people. Talk the talk. But when it comes to actually doing anything of value, they disappear.

Like the military boats that escorted the gaza aid flotilla. They left them to fend for themselves.

Not surprising. You're an "apolitical" terminally online weirdo obsessed with charlie kirks death and watch a lot of right-wing gaming grifters.

You were never going to care about trans people.

Run along so we can have the real conversations because, as you admit, you "don't care about politics."

"Everyone's an ally until it costs them something." is a phrase I keep thinking about.

I said it back when the wizard game came out a few years back. How people squirmed to justify giving their money to bad people.

It feels like people are all about supporting the left until push comes to shove.

This is grim & dangerous over reach.

This is a government that have lost the moral argument & are still selling arms to Israel. Now further cracking down on dissent.

Absolutely the opposite of what they should be doing - so of course this is what the Labour Government choose.

NEW: Home Office announces planned new anti-protest powers, mainly aimed at pro-Gaza protests like those for Palestine Action. Police will be able to consider the "cumulative impact" of repeated protests and potentially order that they be relocated.

Wish I could say I was shocked, but here's the Labour government constraining the right to peaceful protest again...

'You can protest but only according to our rules. The rules are: you're not allowed to use any of the tactics that make protest effective.'

“Police forces will be granted powers to put conditions on repeat protests…”

It’s scary that the British government is making it harder for people to protest. You can’t end one form of racism by encouraging another. The safety of minoritised groups will not be achieved by giving police more powers.

Police to get broader powers to crack down on repeated protests

Officers will be able to tell organisers to move demonstrations if protests have caused
