>In the age of antiquity, the humans of the region that would one day become the largest polis on Theros were ruled by the tyrant Agnomakhos, an immortal archon. Unchecked for generations, his power grew as he carved out a mighty empire. Kynaios and Tiro, joined by their love for one another and for freedom, rose to challenge him. The people rallied to their cause, and Agnomakhos was defeated. The polis of Meletis was founded on the ruins of Agnomakhos's empire as a beacon of freedom and enlightenment, and its people chose Kynaios and Tiro to be its guardians.

I'd say it was just more SJW pandering, but it's the fucking Greek setting.

Actually, the greek didn't really like homosexuals, it's just that they had a different idea of that.

For them, the "bottom" guy was the only one gay, and the active is still straight. They even had a slur for the bottom guy.
>>
>>50001152
See, this? This is a good way to portray a gay character. Two guys, looking reasonable for their setting and roles, that do stuff completely unrelated to the fact that they are gay. Not a single word about them being gay, because you don't fucking need to EXTRA DOUBLE REPRESENTATION STATE something that is said anyway, "their love for one another" is sufficient. You don't have to write about the woes of gay suppression or the amazing perks of being a cockgarbler.
Hell, they might not even BE especially into dudes, they just love each other despite the cocks,

That's how you should do this and write any type of romance anyway,

>As an oracle of Athreos, the god of passage, Ravos knew the fleeting nature of life. Even so, watching his beloved perish in battle was too much for Ravos to bear, and he struck a deal with the god.

In the interim, Ravos plots his rescue and secretly defies Athreos by escorting his wards back to the land of the living.

Hmn. Let me try and explain this in another way.

Every once in a while, I babysit my 5-year-old cousin, and when I do, he likes looking through a couple of my cards. He likes looking at the pictures and such. He's at that age where little boys are crazy about pokemon cards, ya know?

One interesting thing. If they are benevolent rulers, the people will build their statues when they are either old or dead. History shows that only tyrants build their own statues when they are still active, alive and kicking.

>>50003493
Men are traditionally expected to be more likely to be in violent situations or to exhibit physical aggression, while women are seen as physically weaker and needing protection. Images of men fighting and dying in combat have been glorified since literally the dawn of civilization. Images of men in violent situations are often meant to invoke excitement and adrenaline - just think of all the violent sports dominated by male athletes - and when we see men brutalized by other men we often subconsciously consider it "fair" because we presume a man can and should fight back against another man. Images of women subjected to violence are culturally coded with very different emotional associations: predation, horror, injustice - upsetting rather than exciting.

You can complain about the double standard (with some validity - those same longstanding norms can arguably also be connected to issues of men's lives and wellbeing being considered disposable, of normalizing violence and abuse by and against men, etc.) but at the end of the day, like any other gender issues, it's tied up in a complex and murky mixture of society and biology that isn't going to be unraveled any time soon. And Wizards of all people isn't fucking interested in pushing boundaries or challenging its audience's comfort zone, they're just out to give the consumers what (they think) they want because their goal is to maintain a loyal fanbase while expanding their demographic (and sales) as much as possible.

Except that's correct, showing a fantasy creature getting a fantasy limb torn off by fantasy warriors is way different than, say, an image of a person getting mutilated by ISIS. Do you honestly not understand why a depiction of an impossible magical injury is different from something that people can empathize with because it could actually happen to them in the real world?

The only thing I don't like about MTG is that there are minorities shoehorned into every plane just for the sake of diversity.

Kaladesh is full of whites? Isn't it based off of India?

If you have enough power over a corrupt system, then the "facts" presented to the world are whatever narrative you want to spin.

You think that man was stabbed? The investigators all agree that it was a tragic accident. Case closed.

Greeks loved shota boypussy. They weren't gay, as people are gay nowadays. In order to be a citizen you had to have a family and provide for it.

Hell, old greek "gays" were more like what we think of pedophiles, to be honest.

I don't get what's gay about it. Can't you just have platonic love for your battle brethren? Isn't that what this is?

You're trying to ascribe a modern and dubious concept onto the past, a past that would reject your definitions and your unproven beliefs.

The idea of an immutable, inherent sexual orientation is ridiculous, and despite decades of trying to prove some sort of factor for it, they've done more to prove that it's really just a sexual preference that's little different from any other bizarre fetish, and is in fact less common than other distasteful fetishes like bestiality.

Calling Oscar Wilde the first gay isn't completely accurate, but it's more accurate than you're willing to give credit to, because WIlde's generation was around the time when people tried to present homosexuality as an immutable, inherent orientation, when most evidence points in the opposite direction. He would be among the first who could identify themselves as the definition of gay that the left-most part of our modern world wants is attempting to put forward.

History had plenty of gay acts, but it's not even too difficult to argue that under the definition of "immutably and inherently orientated", there was never such a thing as gay people, then or now.

Under the definition of "guys who preferred fucking other guys", there's plenty of examples, with the overwhelming majority treated as sexual deviants who were mocked or even penalized for their behavior.

It's the hair stroking and calling them lovers on their statue card.
Without that, it really could just be platonic love, but Wizards is really forcing this as much as they can, which I'm glad is just in the form of a unplayable cards that can be quickly forgotten as a dark spot in their history.

What triggers me most is that it's a single card of two people instead of having them be two separate coupled commanders with standalone abilities. They wouldn't even have to even remove the faggy hairstroke, just make them stand out a bit more on each artwork to emphasize which is which. >>50011484 also triggers me for similar reasons.

Where do I even begin with the stupid?

- First off, I'd love some citations. Countless studies (and basic reality to be sure) indicate that sexuality is both inherent and beyond a person's control. Tellingly, your argument is an exercise in tautology and outright ignorance.

- Love how homophobes still compare homosexuality to beastiality after countless addressals of this topic. I suppose desperation and parroting are the air conservatives breathe, but still.

- Literally what is your argument? You outright contradict yourself.
>>
>>50015233
Wow, you might want to consider looking beyond your empty convictions and realize that you're basically hoping people will be forced to accept your radical ideas on your word alone.

>Countless studies (and basic reality to be sure) indicate that sexuality is both inherent and beyond a person's control.

And countless ones with less of a bias have time and time again disproved and discredited those faulty studies. Hoping to conclusively prove whether its genetic or environmental still remains a distant dream for the left, especially since as more and more studies are completed the unfortunate truth they're being forced to deal with is that it's a mutable preference.

Basically, it's a lose-lose situation, because if they actually manage to prove that sexuality can be immutable and inherent, than there will be clear markers and ways to avoid and even eliminate homosexuals, who are undesirable in even the most open and accepting cultures. Why, if homosexuals claim they can't change and that it's not a choice, then the argument becomes that they would change if they could, leading to the conclusion that even they consider homosexuality undesirable.

Also, homosexuality is easy to compare to bestiality. Shares far more in common with bestiality and pedophilia than it does with heterosexuality.

>- Literally what is your argument? You outright contradict yourself.
If you're really that stupid, here's the bullet list.

>Homsexuality as an immutable and inherent orientation has been continuously shut down and has yet to be proven,
>It is ridiculous to even entertain such a radical idea without some measure of proof that it can be somehow distinguished from other fetishes like bestiality and pedophilia

Until you provide some measure of proof that it shouldn't be treated as a fetish, then it only makes sense to treat it like a fetish. This also happens to be the dominant opinion in the majority of the world, where homosexuality is criminalized.

- Wow, you're so desperate that you're forced to rely on anti-intellectualism. Because you, the psychotic tin-foiler, surely know more than decades of reputable research. You do realize studies on this began in the 18th century, long before homosexuality was widely accepted, right?

- And again with the comparing sexual orientation with fetish nonsense. Did take much for the parroting to begin.

What's so hard to understand?

Gay sex is basically an imitation of sex performed by unsuitable partners. Even calling it "sex" is a bit misleading, since its more akin to mutual masturbation than it is anything else.

It's a silly fetish, but since being open about it enables gay people to engage in their mutual masturbation easier, they've been doing their best to adjust society to suit themselves better, regardless of what underhanded and even downright evil methods they need to employ in order to do so.

>>50016529
You are a defining example of anti-intellectualism. If you've got the evidence and proof that it shouldn't be treated like a fetish, than go ahead and provide it instead of dancing around pretending anyone needs to take you seriously.

The demand that people need to take your concept of orientation as anything other than hopeful word-play is ridiculous, because until you provide some measure of proof, it's only too easy to treat it like a fetish like it's been done for the majority of history, and even today is done in the majority of the world.

You sound like you come from somewhere where inherent and immutable orientation is taken for granted, which simply means you are a person who's been living for quite some time in a liberal-media controlled environment. It may take years before you're even able to engage in a debate about this.
