Terese Nielsen is that lesbian artist that dared to follow Alex Jones and got fired during pride month or something?
The fact that more and more liberals are calling out woke manipulation in the media is good news. If only they would make the connection to marxism and the left political parties.
Terese Nielsen was always one of WotC's outstanding artists. The company rejecting her isn't what made me reject them, but it's one of the things that ensures I will not return.
The bit at the end is something that everyone thinking of letting the woke into their hobby or whatever should read:
Our space. Our fandom. Our hobby. Get on board, or get out of the way.
If you let them in, they will attempt to take control. Once they do, it's their way or the highway. Luckily, tabletop rpgs are too decentralized for them to ever snuff out their opposition forever.
This is standard Deleuzian territorialization. Frank Herbert put it best in Children of Dune, "When I am weaker than you, I ask you for freedom because that is according to your principles; when I am stronger than you, I take away your freedom because that is according to my principles." The fundamental problem is the principle of allowing progressives to have freedom.
The whole "following" stuff is wild. Sometimes people follow people on Twitter simply for the fact that they want to make fun of them. They're always reposting these people's tweets to attack them, so someone has to be following them.
I don't follow magic or DND but I want to share this: stick to the older expansions, older games, whatever media pre-woke and build your own expansions, mod your favorite games, find like-minded people to play with. Stop giving these clowns money to operate like this. We are a talented and passionate community capable of extending whatever we're into. Media ends with the consumer and at the end of the day when the predetermined woke dollars aren't there, they'll realize their mistake and cut it out.
The sheep must be taught to worship and idolize that which is most harmful to them to make them helpless and incapable of any meaningful resistance. Therefore we encourage the worship of a mentally ill and physically mutilated transgender freak to weaken the populace just as we cut the horns and balls off of beef cattle to keep them from hurting the farmer before they are led to the slaughter.
This topic is connected to a lot of what's happening, because the left is in a self destructive purity spiral.
Each new puritan of the left is quickly ousted by an even purer newer puritan, to the point where older puritans of the left become "problematic", enemies of the continually updated current good-think. Not only do current people get unpersoned, cancelled, and censored, but all things historic are affected as well (text books, statues, philosophies, people, science, practices, traditions, countries, etc.) Normally this purity spiral would destroy itself and fizzle out. However, with the ever constant input of energy from the left, mainstream, and every facet of society they control, they can maintain it for a lot longer than it would last naturally.
Rather than judging people for who they were, what they did, and the times they lived, the left is forever updating their judgment criteria. Even people who made incredible achievements or were unique for their time, are judged without remorse under the new new criteria. Robert E. Lee was an abolitionist even though he fought for the south. Christopher Columbus made a profound achievement, both in his own time and relative to the historical impact, regardless of the consequences that followed. Thomas Jefferson, along with all the founding fathers of the U.S., were incredibly wise, and achieved what even today is seemingly impossible: fighting tyranny, winning, and giving power to the people. These are just 3 examples. Now, all their statues must be torn down and their history spit upon.
Instead of lauding the achievements of past peoples for what they were, the left condemns them. History is nuanced because people are nuanced, but instead the left jumps to black/white reasoning, and judges individuals as if one wrong step wholly condemns them, coloring all their other actions. People who achieved greatness in their time are condemned as completely evil because they didn't, by themselves, abolish slavery, embrace LGBTQ, pay reparations, apologize for their evilness, destroy the patriarchy, open their borders, embrace diversity, surrender their guns, give women and minorities equal rights immediately, fight and destroy anyone that disagreed with them, and whatever new criteria the left will tack on. If people aren't perfect, in every way, according to the left's current judgment, they must be cancelled, and due to the purity spiral, this definition of perfect continually narrows, to the point that no one will fit in it.
No one is perfect. No one can withstand a purity spiral. It's self destructive by its nature. By the left's logic, no statue should be erected, no history book written, no statement made, because no one and nothing they do is pure enough to withstand the left's forever redefined new judgment of "perfect".
You ever get stumped when some smug little shit asks where all of the right-leaning artists are? This is it.
When you are an artist you play along with all of the hashtags of the day and keep your mouth fucking SHUT if you are conservative. Basically if you want to eat, never talk about politics. Ever. If you must, then you'll have to lie. And yes, they will literally go through the list to see who you're following regardless of why and they will find a way to get you fired.
Starting to see how leftism does not like lesbians that design sexy females. Bayonetta was also designed by a lesbian and the lefts hate that.
Leftism doesn't like sexy females period.
Of course they don't, it makes the axe wound troons stand out.

Terese Nielsen was one of the best artists for MTG. I will go out of my way to get her art and make those sjws seeth. Lol

This applies widely.
Want a good movie, book, textbook, encyclopedia, video game, etc.?
Stick to stuff pre-2015 at minimum. For some, like books, art, textbooks, the REALLY good stuff is pre-2000s.

"Why are our sales down?"
"Haters."
"But, shouldn't our new clients make up for those few we lost from among our core base?"
"Two questions. 1, what new followers, and 2, what's a core base?"
"We shot ourselves in the balls to appease perverts and grifters again, didn't we?"
"What does appease mean?"
And yet went to the trouble of telling us all you didn't care?
Come on, TheImpossible1, "emo teen" isn't your usual look...
