They hate Whites and don't fucking care enough to even pretend anymore. One of the guys in charge of D&D even outright said there were too many White men playing it.
I’m so sick of this mentality. Stop trying to cater to people who don’t use your product! If minorities or women want to get into Magic the Gathering, nothing is stopping them
You don't understand fully then, these companies don't lose money by doing this, they get free money (at your expense!) from giant hedge funds and the government.
It might as well be the 'woke tax' at this point. Siphoning money from normal people to give to faggots.
"If you protect your culture you don't deserve it! >:)"
They are of course wholely ignorant that J.R.R. Tolkien's creative imperative was to establish an independently rich mythos for the Anglo-Saxon seperate from the Norman, which he felt historically dominated their cultural/mythological intraoccular. There is no "deserve" in this equation, it belongs to the Saxon and any further production is a non-canonnical parody of the source material.
This is also coming from the people who got offended at mere costumes when it came to their respective cultures - yet they'll desecrate landmarks, destroy statues, rewrite your history book, fuck with your lexicon, negrify every cultural symbol, take credit for every minor accomplishment, and sink their fangs into everything of even passing interest to antagonize what they readily admit they fear most. Identity politics is a war we are losing for refusing to play and the world is uglier for it.
They did a calibration with warhammer 40k last year. Is probably the same thing. Will probably include 40 new cards useful for commander decks. Best thing to do is collect them and resale a few years from now.
Up next: 'Zelensky', with Lizzo playing the titular role and all Russians are not only all white males, even the women, especially the women, but they speak with a German accent instead of a Russian one.
You would think that people would see through this marketing tactic. Shocking that actual fans hate bastardized versions of what they love. Reason I refuse to watch WOT series on Amazon
Why do they ride around in black clothes, being black, with no reflectors or lights on their bike at night on a dark road? IDK. Niggers. The place I remember this most vividly is Phoenix. Even though you don't associate the city with black people, it has some. And some dark roads. All cities seem to run their lights at half brightness now. IDK why.
In the past I have just figured they want to get hit and win the ghetto lottery.
It’s Wizards of the Coast pulling a Fortnite. They’re approaching anyone that will give them a license and release their characters in the card game. Except this time they really fucked up an established character. I hope no other company gives them a license ever again because of this nonsense.
I heard they jumped off the woke cliff a while back. I don’t get this because you would think they understood who played magic the gathering

I know. I’ve come to hate February and June
You don't understand yet, it's not about money, it has NEVER been about money.
It's about sending a message.
I’ve finally realized that but it still makes no sense. But we have seen plenty of companies willing to lose money because they want to send a message

Thank goodness I have the LOTR books. These people have ruined the hobbies. Can’t create their own stuff so they infest spaces.

Yep, and my reserved list collection has lost absolute fucktons of value in the meantime.
"Please ignore our sending a fucking PMC to someone's house because of our shipping error. We're paying tribute to Wakanda!"
Why the fuck does Wizards of the Coast own any LOTR licensing?
What's the Tolkien estate going to do? Sue them? They fucking love this messaging.
I think Christopher was the only one who cared
Christopher Tolkien was the world’s greatest gatekeeper.

They already had a card with black Aragorn spoiled weeks ago. The card is “Aragorn and Arwen, Wed” or something.
Arwen remains huwite, of course.
WOTC confirmed BBC fetishists.
Why are they ALWAYS swapped to black, never any other group?
Nah they do other races too: Kitana mk1-10 = white. Kitana mk11 = asian (also breast reduction but that's another topic).
Diablo 2 assassin = white. Diablo 2 remastered assassin = asian.
Velma in Scooby Doo before white. Velma in the new Scooby Doo show = Indian.
Caitlyn in league of legend = white. Caitlyn in arcane = asian.
Etc.
It is mostly black though, just maybe 5% other races

Why would anyone not like this? What are you some kind of racist?

Yes.
West Coast.
Seattle is a hive of BLM and left-regressive politics. Amazon hails from this rotten patch of land as well.
It's extra unfortunate because that's really cool card art, it just isn't Aragorn.
And that Tolkien lore has no place in the game. Such a weak cash grab. Belittles them both.
gibs me dat -- When Niggagorn comes into play, gain control of target equipment.
Maybe that will keep him from getting hit by traffic when he rides his bike in the middle of the street at night.
Why at night? I've seen vids of them doing that in the day then getting taken out by a car because driving into oncoming traffic isn't actually smort.

Right. I think the bigger problem is that Tolkien doesn't belong in Magic the Gathering.
Honestly, they lost me the day the abandoned Manna Burn.

This must be a big offense if all of the capeshit nerds are openly this upset about it, interesting.
