The Magic : the Gathering color wheel is two-fifths racist

[..]This is a brilliantly innovative mechanic [..]. It’s just their bad decision to make two out of the five colors happen to be popular names for human skin tones.

White and black exist as good and bad in various cultures, not just white ones.

And the nerve to tell an artist what topics or things he is allowed or disallowed to make.

The mysoginist angle could have worked if you tried to calculate how many cards depict women sexualised vs not and group that by color (because of different flavour. Maybe black mana "evil women" are automatically sexual?). If you have a lot of steamy women depictions you could judge that the game tries to cater to horny dudes (who are certainly a demographic that buys MtG cards).

The pedo mat argument is retarded. Shun the people or treat it as any other sexual shit, but arguing that weebs are pedos is nonsense and won't get you what you wanted anyway.

Stupid article, I wasted my time reading and I want to vent.
