MTGHeadquarters/UnsleevedMedia is Scum and should be forcibly ejected from MTG forever and dropped into the middle of the sea. Also everyone else who has ever driven another women from playing any game. THEY ARE ALL SCUM.

Don't ignore them. Don't go "Oh well, what could I do about it?" because there is so much you can do just by saying you won't accept it and publicly saying what you won't stand and telling them to stick a rock in there mouth and chew on it when you see it happening in front of you. I won't stand harassment happening in front of me in this community. If I see you ever being a sexist/misogynist/transphobic/racist or whatever type of exclusionary pig in front me, be prepared to feel the full fury of my wrath!

Cruelty

I don’t want to put myself into the ring, but there’s something that I feel needs to be said:

Yes, you are entitled to your opinion. And if your opinion actively plays into the behavior that dehumanizes, oppresses, humiliates, or otherwise degrades a certain group of people, then that’s what you’ll be called out on. People have the right to criticize you as much as you have the right to speak.

Want to speak your mind? Go ahead. Want to be brash, uncompromising, sarcastic, mean, snarky? Fine. But people reacting negatively towards you - which is perhaps inevitable - is not a violation of your freedoms.

It’s people saying that you’re a dick.

Opinions have consequences. If they didn’t, then there wouldn’t be the kind of furor about them that there currently is.

What Wizards is doing is not censoring the freedom of speech of channels like MTG Headquarters. He can have his opinions, and Wizards is having theirs. Surprisingly, they don’t want to be associated with the kind of behaviors that come into the community as a result of these opinions. If people are hurt, shunned, or excluded because of aspects that they cannot change that are impacting how people perceive them, then there’s a problem.

It’s not all about you, Mtg Headquarters. You’ve said your mind, and we’re showing you the door.
