It's honestly kind of impressive how in mtg, after decades of trying to distance color identity and morality, and keep card text as descriptive as possible (like, nicol bolas isn't a villain, he's an "elder dragon", the card text is divorced from his story role), all it took was a marvel collab and now we're back to the beginning.

Like, they really went "uuuh yeah white is the hero color and black is the villain color", even though a fair number of heroes are AT LEAST orzhov and viceversa, like we're back in the 90s with cards literally named "crusade" or smth.

Plus the level of american propaganda and exceptionalism is disgusting, because there are like 5 cards with the word "patriot" in it (like come on, "captain america,wings of freedom"???), and the ussr equivalent is called "red guardian, super soldier", is a villain, and the art is him screaming at the viewer.

This shit is not subtle, and I am disgusted to see it in a game that was making honest strides in representation (with the issues that come with being a fantasy game made in the us).

[furryprovocateur]

some people really do just make up a guy to be mad at. twice

[roadhogsbigbelly]

[imsobadatnicknames2]

I mean legitimately horrid take but it doesn't feel accurate to say that this is making up a guy to get mad at. because like. "Guy who exclusively listens to videogame OSTs and feels smugly superior about it" is very much not only *a* real guy but an entire Type Of Guy on the internet.

Like the last screenshot here presents "anything on the radio isn't music" as a silly hypothetical to prove a point, but there's a good chance that that was exactly the type of opinion that OOP was trying to be a contrarian against in the first place place, because the idea that non-videogame music is just formulaic repetitive vapid background noise that can never reach the emotional heights of a videogame OST is an opinion that's genuinely held by a small but not insignificant (and very vocal) population of Gamers™ (often stemming from a lack of familiarity with non-videogame-music beyond mass-produced top 40s pop, or from memeticlaly ingrained stereotypes about rap and country). This take is very clearly just the contrarian, pendulum-swinging-too-far-in-the-other-direction response to it.

ok my apologies, apparently it was a big deal that jesus did NOT beg for vinegar while on the cross. and this was like, religiously important.

[ijustwannafallunderyrsawteeth]

maybe y'all didn't notice but fat people who don't hate ourselves sure did notice that people were obsessed with shitting on fat people in the late 90s and early 2000s (conservative political time) and now are again (fascist political time), coincidentally while the market for weight loss has become a 90 billion dollar industry due to glp1s.

you are not immune to propaganda. it makes some people a whole hell of a lot of money for you to hate fat people and fear becoming (or staying, I think like 70% or something of the US is fat) one of us.

[ijustwannafallunderyrsawteeth]

a lot of the fearmongering over fatness comes from studies directly funded by the weight loss industry...i think people don't really realize or think about the fact that research can absolutely be influenced and skewed by its funding. there is also research that shows that an amount of the negative health outcomes for fat people come from anti-fat bias. if you go to the doctor with concerns and the doctor simply tells you to lose weight, your problem is neglected and you may not even bother going to the doctor with the next problem.

every fat person you know for the most part probably has a story like this, of medical neglect. many of the stories i've heard personally are when the complaint or the doctor wasn't related at all, like being told to lose weight at the ear nose and throat doctor or at the dentist. it's straight up just bias. it's such a thing that in the show Shrill it's portrayed, when Aidy Bryant goes to the gynecologist and her doctor suggests she get gastric bypass.

the studies on health and fatness are simply not that black and white and there is basically no research that shows that more than an incredibly tiny minority of people can lose weight and keep it off for more than like 2 years. bodies have set points that they gravitate towards, it's not a personal failure. this also is how the weight loss industry succeeds so well - repeat customers.

some of the harm associated with fatness is also due to weight cycling, which is very hard on your body and is even worse if you get off a GLP1, which according to a recent study causes weight to be regained at a rate that is 4x faster than without taking a GLP1.

you don't have to hate yourself. you don't have to hate other people for their body type either. it makes me so sad to see the thinspo tag going around again in 2026 a lot like it was back in the day.

How it feels to imagine a female character's voice as deep when you read the source and then watch an adaptation that gives her some Elmo ass voice

[oodlyenough]

a thing about me is i basically never notice a wig or other kind of hairpiece in tv/movies. it has to be party city territory for me to even twig it. people will complain about characters' wigs looking bad and i will nod along but there is like a 90% chance i did not notice for a second while watching. i consider this mostly a blessing.

do you agree that you would probably be fine in this scenario?
