Read through the whole thing. Bar the one time of talking about a rare pull the imaginary person In question never bothered to engage with other players outside of the actual games they played.
The point of a trade binder is to approach others to chew the fat and trade. It’s not up to the other hyperthetical humans involved in this story to approach the hyperthetical woman cause they felt lonely.

This whole thing reeks of projection.

I read the first few paragraphs and got the overwhelming feeling it was crying that everyone wasn't falling over themselves to be her friend and do all the social legwork for her.

I bet she lies down and does the star fish when getting fucked (:optimistic:), too.

It was cancer, straight delusional cancer. "I want to play the game, make it more inclusive guys!" You can play. No one is preventing you from entry. "I don't just want to play, I want to win and have your respect!" Well you're playing like shit, here's tips on how to do better. "I don't want all this unsolicited advice or questions!" OK, we'll stop talking to you unless we're actively playing. "No no, I want to be a part of this community! I want to be welcomed!" I tried talking to you, but you were triggered by small talk. We're keeping our distance because we don't want you to accuse us of harassment and get us ejected/sanctioned from events. "I'm being discriminated and micro-aggressed!" Enjoy my cold sh0ulder, thot. You earned it.

Magic and competitive Magic is a type A personality game for two or more players to clash strategies together. You are consistently tested in repetitive actions in a math battle with choices. Most women aren't into this shit. You couldn't pay women to get into this shit(and they effectively are; if a woman wanted an easy-in to twitch viewers and a donator fanbase, this is an incredibly easy vector). They either are or aren't, and if they are, they can't be coddled because the game and environment don't allow for it. Most guys are fucking bullied when learning to play Magic, not by the players but by chads in school walking by and seeing their gay fairy & mermaid cards.

I'm only remaining sane by chuckling endlessly at the Sisyphean struggle of these SJWs to shoehorn women into an activity you literally can't pay them into. Women en masse will never break into high-tier Magic, or e-sports, or chess because they would fundamentally stop being women. One or two outliers would be tolerated, nay welcome, but you'll never get the 54% representation you're seeking because women only compete for dicks, not with them. This is why they're trying to change videogames into gay feelings-filled walking simulators, because that's something they can do that's video games related. Next you're going to see some twist of a format become popular where winning doesn't matter somehow, because that's the only way Magic will ever appeal to women. Women don't give a fuck about winning. Men are wired to.

A large reason you won’t see women at high level magic events is the first time channel fireball or wizards see a woman with even a slight comprehension of the rules they give them a job, which under organised play means they are no longer eligible to compete.

This story is a net due to how many holes it has in it.

The first being the shop. Unless your first MTG game is a pro tour qualifier, you're playing at Regular REL, and the rules are relaxed to accommodate beginners. Playing for fun, but you can be a little competitive and not look like an asshole. The store owner looks surprised because it's a new customer, not a female one. Same with the small in-jokes. You're not one of 'the regulars', so you're not gonna get their jokes.

Next is the advice given. If someone who is more experienced in drafts gives you advice, take it! People at Regular REL want better players in the game, and the best way to do that is to teach them the finer mechanics. If you play at Competitive or Professional REL, you're expected to know all the rules and how to play. You're SUPPOSED to be good at that point. If you're trying to learn the deck mechanics firsthand, be prepared to lose A LOT.

If you don't remember cards you've passed, you're not figuring out others' gameplay and will probably not do well in draft format.

The second opponent is clearly salty, but it's understandable. They're now 0-2 for the tournament and probably knocked out of any prize support. Their prize is the shit deck they cobbled together.

This is a bigger projection than IMAX.

>spend months pretending like your whole intention was just to "expose pedophiles"
>take the first chance to team up with a pedophile to admit the entire thing was to sperg about cosplayers after denying it for like 4 months

Nom nom epic salt bros, boy he sure showed them.

Also very surprised Milo's video there only got a little over 25,000 hits in a day, your average C-list youtube dipshit gets that within the hour. Poor fuck.

I'm not really sure. It seems it was mistaken as something 'off topic', but I don't see what's off topic about it. Restored.

So, while I agree that the video was indeed relevant and worth posting, I am inclined to say that this particular subject has pretty much run dry and I'm inclined to close up shop in this thread, but I would like to know if you or anyone else disagrees with that assertion.

(should go without saying but you don't have to conform to the salt essentials when replying to me here)

This salt has lost it's theme of the initial incident. Should probably be closed and can continue as a community watch if someone cares enough.

I mostly just like seeing @KillThemCrackasBabies A-log Jeremy.

I have previously suggested that it be moved to community watch:

I think there's a case for moving this thread to Community watch, we're been pretty much discussing the community and its drama with little to no salt being provided.

Most of the salt seems to be between the people who are debating on whether Jeremy is or is not a lolcow.

This is why I made the suggestion, we're basically discussing the MTG community now. There's no salt posts for the last 5 pages at least.

If it is indeed moved, I suggest adjusting the OP to include a short background in the community as a whole.

Also, watching @KillThemCrackasBabies obsess over Jeremy's every move is hilarious!

Yeah, I've read the opinions regarding moving it to Community Watch already. Thing is, I'm not sure if this is specific enough for Community Watch, and I'm not sure if it would have an audience there either. Salt Mine is meant to act as somewhat of a catch-all. I'll bring it up with the CW board czar @Cricket.

That said, you two do raise a good point in that watching @KillThemCrackasBabies go after Jeremy is pretty funny, and I'm willing to keep this open just on that merit alone. I'm pretty lenient so long as we're generating laffs.

I see your point, but It could be easily reworked as "the Card games community", or "MTG community".
 
This covers a lot of people ousted from the community though. I'll talk to Cricket about it.
