Magic The Gathering Cosplay/Deplatforming Fallout - Magic has certainly gathered. Grab your popcorn.

I won't deny that I've been a longtime fan of Jeremy. I've never been more than a casual mtg player and mostly keep up with the current sets through YouTube videos from all these people, as well as the duels pc game. Theres still been a lot of enjoyment to following them for the drama. It's ridiculous how much salt there is on both sides. This SJW BS/Sprankle drama is just an excuse for airing the simmering shitfest between all these Youtubers that goes back years to their old super secret Facebook group and Jeremy's gamefinder app flop. Despite his denials, Jeremy loves playing the victim card. For him it's the free speech victim complex you see a lot in the anti-sjw crowd, for the others it's the white knight protectors for the poor disadvantaged victims of white cis-het mtg bullies shit.

Not to mention that Wedge and Jeremy both love to throw out the "I can't help that I shit my pants," and "my anxiety attacks!" cards whenever they can for sympathy.

TLDR: SJWs ruin everything and mtg content creators are all exceptional individuals.

It's been nearly a week and nothing has come from this but betas coming to her defense and her Patreon getting a bump.

EDIT: Jeremy gets his B& today apparently, but he's going down swinging. WotC stated that three of the 11 images brought under investigation were Pepe memes, so Jeremy is going to go Nanny State and go on a reporting spree.

 

[Nine Inch Nachos]

What a tease. Stop droppin' hints and start dropping some real dirt!

 

[CrunkLord420]

If there was ever a time to link Filthy Frank's "it's time to stop" it's now, holy fuck with these videos Jeremy. The unironic Kekistani shit is killing me. It feels like we get three updates a day in video form of long winded crap.

The fact wizards has banned people in the past for actions outside of mtg events means Jeremy has little hope.

Example: A player was banned because he has a criminal conviction for sexual assault but he served his prison time. Wizards only found out about the conviction because a player who himself had served time for drug smuggling told wizards because they had beef with the other guy.
Wizards hand out bans for actions outside of the game or events is very telling of how this will go.

And the kicker? The sexual assault could be filed under "Romeo and Juliet" laws in several states, as the guy convicted was 16 and his gf was 15 at the time.

Oh yeah. WotC is obsessed with making sure mtg events are "safe spaces," which means no undesirables (as determined by Reddit and Mark Rosewater) allowed.

Jeremy is definitely a tryhard with the Pepe and Kek stuff these days. Despite his constant proclamations he is WINNING, I think it's pretty clear there are no winners from this hilarity, other than those on the sidelines with the popcorn.

 

[Fareal]

I've played Tyranids and Sisters for nearly twenty years and Dark Eldar Wych cult off and on.

I got a certain amount of awkward white knighting at events and in person, but online I didn't mention I was female and everything was fine. 40K is seriously a perfectly chill community to partake in irl.

We have been bleating about the need for plastic Sisters since third edition. This isn't a new GW shitlording problem. They just refuse to make that financial investment in the line, because the army isn't popular, and because the army costs a fortune and has no shiny new models or OP shit, no one wants to start it, so it stays unpopular.

This is not a problem that will be solved by screaming at GW. That has been tried, including by Games Development.

Well...there's a pre-release next weekend. Those are sanctioned events, so if Jeremy catches ban, it'll have to be before Friday.

To be fair, they've always been a bit precious about things like that, esp. in OTB games rather than online. I remember when Peter Szigeti (rest in power) got a game loss for, on the last turn of the game, drawing the exact card he needed to win, standing up, miming wiping his arse with it, then slamming it into the table. Then there was that bloke who got a four year ban for throwing a bottle of orange juice at someone by accident.

Also, Mark Rosewater is a cunt, always has been a cunt, and always will be a cunt. He named a card after himself (Maro, from the Mirage set), and when I was playing he used to constantly humblebrag about how he could have been the next showrunner for Roseanne or whatever shit programme he used to write for.

Magic is sort of declining now in a way. Aren't they losing players hand over fist? The policy of trying to make each set markedly stronger than the last one, two blocks a year which means it's a complete treadmill to keep up to date with, and mythic rares (the reason MTG survived so well was that there weren't obvious chase cards that would command stupendous prices on the secondary market - well, the Power Nine and Arabian Nights, Antiquities and Legends notwithstanding, which means that you can bolt together a solidly playable deck without having some rich kid buying their way to victory) seems to be hurting it.

Don't worry, after they have driven all those toxic nerd brutes away the gamer girls will flock to them and MtG will finally have the 50/50 gender balance it was always meant to have. 10 male and 10 female active players.

A ban is symbolic at best. Any local shop with let you create a new DCI name/number on the fly with no need for state-sponsored ID, and you can jump into a pre-release sealed deck tournament, no questions asked. All shops care about is moving product, as long as you aren't dressed as a german SS-officer, you can play. Since Jeremy isn't a competitive player who cares about placing in events or aspires to compete at a pro level, it really does nothing other than wipe his DCI achievements and player level on their website that tracks such silly things. You could probably count the number of people who care about that shit on one hand, world-wide.

All the local groups really drive Magic's longevity. My group of friends build legacy decks and we try not to go full autism with the calculus-tier shit where you get multiple turns and wind-up one-turn kills. Saprolings, titans, slivers, soldiers, and we readily play each other's alternate decks if someone didn't bring their own cards, and we'll buy boxes of the sets that interest us, like all the greek mythology-themed Theros(sp?) ones.

Mythics haven't really hurt the playerbase, and it seems to benefit the stores and traders dealing back in forth with singles. Plus you can order these really good chinese counterfeit cards online that drive the cost of playing way down, assuming you have no intention of attending pro-tours in major cities(99% of anyone playing) or fucking over dealers/players in trade.

 

[UnsufficentBoobage]

Wow, good that I don't play, but only collect cards and read lore. What a mess (not only that, but state of community as a whole, as I understood from this thread).

Also, anyone who makes money off their looks alone should not complain about someone objecting to it.

Update:

GTAB. 4-4-4-4 life.

 

[Inquisitor_BadAss]

I had had to re play the part where he said Travis Woo was now banned a couple times to make sure I heard it correctly

This whole thing is a huge nothing burger.

 

[Alex's Waifu]

Wedge and (more so) the Professor were enjoyable content creators, but just like little miss attention wh*re, the fame (and $$$) got to their egos. Jeremy's always been a whiner, but it just shows how fragile the big-heads of the community really are.

:powerlevel:

Spoiler: Gamer Girl Gripes

Years ago, I really got into MTG. However, it's community shunned me out, and I'm pretty sure it was because I'm a woman.

The community near me (at my local game store) was mostly 13~40 year old hat-tippin, neckbeard, shycow virgins (and the occasional depressed father) whom disliked playing with casuals like me. Since I wasn't the total air-headed bimbo, twirling my hair going, "So like, how do I tap mana?" I seemed to hold no interest to them. (That, and I wasn't single.)

Not saying they had to bow at my feet, but when I tried to get some of their attention like, "Hey, what deck are you playing? Can I play you next?" I was completely ignored.

The only other "woman" I saw at the LGS was a tyranny, had most of the guys around her(?) and it didn't seem to care for my real lady parts competiting with their imaginary ones. (I wonder if it's easier for said boys to get along with trannies than real girls. )

Long story short, I liked the game but couldn't play because the community is too immature to play with a normal woman.

This is a bump in the MTG world, and is it for the better or worse?

 

[Intelligent Calcium]

Surprise surprise, now that the ban everyone knew was coming is finalized he's looking for a new way to get attention, so he's considering to sue WotC/Sprankles (he talks about it a few times in the video but I timestamped the most relevant part). No way he's actually gonna do it, he's just trying to ride this out for a little longer.

 

[captkrisma]

The community at large is cancer. A level 3 judge just recently got kicked as well for possible allegations of sexual harassment, but no one is saying what happened or anything. For those not in the know, a judge is essentially the referee for the game. To be a level 1 judge, you have to take several online tests about the rules, and then a face-to-face test given by a level 2 judge. A level 3 has put a lot of concentrated effort in the mechanics of the game.

It's getting to a point where men can't say anything when playing a game where communication with your opponent is required.
