“Seems like the entire point of the game was obviously to comment on colonialism right?”

It’s always been theorised because her costume design is strongly built around the white, pink, and blue of the trans flag. The ballet pumps in particular are quite an odd design choice if that’s coincidental.

they still go fucking apeshit, because they have no real identity other than their hate

I think the best part of Gwen being trans is that it has virtually nothing to do with the story being told, aside from the subtext underlying her speech to her dad. If she is trans, then that battle was already fought before we meet her, and she’s now stronger for it. Shitheads are always talking about how the woke…

Is it even B5 if you don’t have to make allowances for extremely limited budgets?

I have no desire to watch other people play ttrpg (in a minority, i know), but this lools like a cool concept.

Yeah, same here. It’s kind of a boilerplate CW teen drama in a Batman costume, but it’s been pretty entertaining! Pretty sure it has not an iota of a chance at renewal, but it’s fun while it lasts.

They aren’t suing based on the game system itself, though. They are suing based on breach of contract, etc, which is smart. They have a very good argument of “This person was making a game for us, breached their contract on many levels, and took our trade secrets to another company, for whom they are now a full-time…

Except there is no facts in what you say. Lord of the Rings is a work of fiction. Middle-Earth doesn’t exist. As such, it is infinitely mutable. You cannot go to Middle-Earth, take a picture, and say “see, only white people!!” Middle-Earth is a product of subjective imagination. It exists only at the whim of both…

I mean, Magic has a long-established setting with its own characters and plots. They’ve been pretty diverse for a long time, too.

They’re also making an adaptation of the Lord of the Rings that is also diverse.

I also pointed out that JRRT wrote Middle Earth as northwestern Europe in both climate, flora and people.

Why not be original and diverse, and make up a new universe?

“Why not be original and diverse, and make up a new universe?”

They’ve done that since the mid-1990s, you realize.

“Numenorians were refuges/survivors from JRRTs Atlantis, that fled to a Middle-Earth that was populated by humans (as well as elves, dwarves, orcs, ents, probably proto-hobbits etc) such as the ancestors of the future Rohirrim.”

As much as most fans i love the visual repertoire the Lord of the Rings movies created. It was consise, consistent, well thought out, it’s time to let other artists give it a shot. And honestly, while it’s hard to break from visual canon of 20 years of consistent output, the MTG art crew has done an incredible job at…

You’re so close to getting it - good luck explaining why white people need “inclusion” when they’re already depicted at a much higher rate than they naturally occur in the general population.

Why do racists like you break out this argument as if it’s brand new, and you just thought of it? This has been the first…

Black people have existed in Europe for its entire existence. Pretending otherwise is ahistorical and nakedly racist.

The thing you’re completely missing is context. It’s twofold here. Point One, the example you chose, Power Man/Luke Cage, is indelibly tied to the “Blaxploitation” era of films, and thus his race is actually pretty crucial to the character. Almost every time a white character is reimagined as a different race, their…

If a simple skin color change on a fictional character triggers you into a frenzied rant, you definitely need help, and maybe a hug. 

I mean, Black Aragorn actually makes a lot of sense, seeing as how Dúnedain also don’t crack
