Is MTG back to trying to appease to an audience that don't buy their product either way? Back in 1995 they removed all "satanic" images and names from the game in order to "clean it up" after pressure from parent interest group. A few years later, they brought demons back and nobody batted an eye. Now we have the removal of "cheesecake" art and characters from the game under the pressure of internet groups, and I cannot help but think it will be the same.

Same with silly statements like saying Narset is autistic to get brownie PR points.

>Note for the curious: Nissa's art, by Jaime Jones, was slightly altered for the purposes of Duels' packaging and marketing, because the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) rejected the original art for use on packaging. They felt her outfit was a bit too revealing. We felt it was in-bounds for fantasy art on a "T for Teen" product, but we're not the ESRB, and that's the way it goes sometimes. So we had Jaime Jones tweak the piece to meet those standards for Duels. Nissa's original art will remain wherever her card appears—on her card in the Duels game, in Magic Online, and of course in booster packs of Zendikar.

There's no hidden agenda, except trying to sell their product as far as I can tell.

The boxart for the video game was changed because the game was rated teen by the ERSB,

It's not WotC that made the decision. They explicitly said that it was requested by the rating board.

The Triumph of Ferocity disaster and the following whitewashing of Liliana's character until she's now just the quirky opinionated alt chick friend of the Gatewatch was fucking embarrassing. Liliana was a straight up bitch and villain in the first few blocks she was in and she was clearly not intended to have a redemption arc. Fuck WotC for not having the integrity to stick to their storyline.

At least we got Ob-Nixilis as a unabashed asshole and potentially recurring villain. He's more interesting than Liliana ever was.

And they desperately need recurring villains other than Nicol Bolas now that the main cast is essentially there for every block.

As far as I know there's an even amount of males and female main heroes. Lately they have been increasing the amoung of females in nameless character cards though, if I remember correctly they proudly stated that in shadows of innistrad they made more "female" cards than "male" cards. I don't care about the act itself, I'm annoyed that they throw it to your face with "look how progressive we're, look!, srly, look!" in every article, is like with Beauty and the Beast, I assumed the guy was gay or affeminate in the old version and I moved along, but now they're using it as advertising move, that's what annoys me.

You see the mistake you're making is that you're thinking "make the game less appealing to people who buy their products" and "advertise to people who don't buy the game".

When in reality all these decisions are weighed decisions where you take "players who will notice this miniscule change in the first place, then care enough to actually, in reality, for reals stop spending money on the game", which in this case might be as many as one (1) people, and then compare it to "people whose mothers won't buy them more packs of cards after seeing an elf with a titty window and/or something that looks like a demon circa 1995", which is quite possibly more than one people.
>>
>>52239490
>"players who will notice this miniscule change in the first place, then care enough to actually, in reality, for reals stop spending money on the game"
Personal experience to take it as it's, but I never seen this happens to this day. I have several friends who bash on Mtg and other games due "pandering to manchildren, etc" and even with these changes they don't buy shit, I'm friends with 3 LGS's owners who told me their customers didn't increase in the slightless in 15 years and that the type of customer also didn't change, they told me though that everytime wotc makes public some "progressive move" they get a small increase in the sales from new costumers, but this drops again to normal sales because these new costumers don't stay long enough to play the game. So is maybe this what wotc is trying to get? small burst from time to time from a non lasting group?
>>
>>52239621
No I think I'm going to stick with my first guess and assume it's for the same reason they got rid of the evil demons and pentacles in the 90's; because Little Timmy's mom saw a Diablo (or in this case a side-titty) and won't spend $3 on a pack whenever she goes to the grocery anymore.

No one who actually played the game did. A bunch of outside watchdog groups had a big tantrum about it and didn't understand the context of anything, all they saw was rape because that is all they have conditioned themselves to see.
>>
>>52237678
I can't help but feel like losing the kind of player who would take personal insult at some cleavage being covered up in card art would be a net positive for the community as a whole.

I mean, the only reason you aren't pleased by the representation made with Narset having a cognitive-social disorder is because your autism prevents you from understanding even the simplest of social concepts.

Kaladesh looks boring as fuck, that's all I care about honestly. They went so far to make it a politically correct, happy, intellectual fantasy India that it lost any hope of being a cool plane. MTG planes need exaggeration and silliness to be cool, Kaladesh was just this dull happy utopia. Not a single war elephant, turban, thugee strangler, kali-style statue or Temple of Doom reference in the art.

It doesn't matter to them who is backlashing, or if there's a good reason for it. Bad PR is bad PR, and avoiding it is the company's only agenda.
If you got a broad enough social movement to insist that swords were dangerous to show because it makes kids swing sticks around and hurt each other, artifacts will mechanically be identical while being labeled "Box of Courage" or something.

Do you not remember when literally every gun in a kid's cartoon was a laserbeam? There was a reason for that.

Yeah but that doesn't matter to rating. Woman opens up her shirt to reveal robot bits instead of bewbs is still PG. American ratings boards are very consistent and very lazy, which is what seems to piss off people who claim inconsistancy.
>>52238737
Such as this fine fellow. Here is the easy guy to American ratings.

Violence
G- Harm cannot be shown in a permanent or serious manner.
PG- Harm can be allowed in a serious manner but blood is not allowed outside of minor injuries a child might see in real life.
PG-13- Just about any amount of harm is allowed but blood must be kept to a minimum. Inhuman colorings of blood, such as green or black, increase how much blood is acceptable but still must be within reasonable limits. No gore is allowed. This taken to its most ridiculous extreme in the latest Kong film which was rated PG-13 despite a man being impaled to death through the mouth but as there is no blood or gore shown it's still PG-13.
R- Excessive amounts of blood and/or any real gore gets you an automatic R rating.
NC 17- Given out for extensive or extreme gore. Almost never given out due to the amount of money required to make that level of gore effects combined with the market interest being very small. Only the SAW and Hostel movies were even threatened with it in recent years.

Sex/nudity
G- Nothing can be implied beyond "X likes Y"
PG- sex can be mentioned but not shown
PG-13-partial nudity and genitals obscured sex allowed. Discussion of sex must still be general without reference to interaction of specific body parts.
R- Full nudity okay as is unobstructed sex. The only thing disallowed is visible penetration.
NC-17- As said before only really visible penetration gets you bumped up here. Rarely given out because at that point why make porn without bothering with the MPAA.

This all comes down to the MPAA ratings members being salaried not hourly. So they just stamp the movie basically on autopilot to go home as quick as possible.
>>
>>52237798
Real interesting shit about the American ESRB:
>The group is purely anonymous, no one knows who they really are by name.
>Prying by individuals has confirmed that they are mostly conservative, mostly female, and mostly christian.
>The group is held to very little "Standard" meaning the American rating system is purely subjective.

Reminds me of my thoughts during Logan where Random Nameless Bridesmaid flashes him for maybe 1.5 seconds. i was literally going "That was entirely out of place and gratuitous. Was that literally just to make sure they got the R rating? As if they weren't sure the copious gore would do it?"
>>
>>52241940
>>Trans

How would a tranny even exist outside of present day or a future setting? They literally need to pump in hormones which their body does not produce. I suppose they could do the genital mutilation thing without modern medicine.. but that's not going to look pretty.

Or is this just a "it's magic lol, I don't gotta explain shit" thing?

A bit of a misnomer. Tarkir has different ideas of gender than modern american culture, so a warrior taking a female name out of respect for his elders isn't really too far from possibility.

Makes me laugh that it's now the Right who are trying to say they're in favour of tits and ass in the public sphere, while h8ing on the Left for being prudes.

I wanna see more before and after shots of characters and the direction MTG's art has gone. I've heard a lot of people talking about how it's become an SJW cesspool where representation is more important than gameplay and it's filtered down to hobby stores and players world-wide, but I'd like more examples and hard evidence so I can see, then I can show others

You are correct OP.

Every few decades and generation there are gay little moral police faggots who, despite claiming trying to make the world a better place, really just hate humans with different opinions then them and want to shut them all down.

40 years ago it was DnD being a satanic game
30 years ago it was slasher films
20 years ago it was hip-hop music
10 years ago it was video games
And now, instead of the topic being 'violence' it's video games and movies and card games being sexist.

Basically, there are always dumb whiny cunts who want to shit on other people's fun. And there always will be.

WOTC is trying to expand their audience, and in doing so alienating their core audience.

It's easy to sit at a stockholder meeting and go "Hey we need to reach more customers, so let's do this."

This Juan knows. It's just "good business". The people who play will still play, and the minority leave because of the changes have already been assessed as a risk of the changes and factored into the profit margin of predicted new players cashing in. It ain't SJW boogeymen, it's the brand itself not giving a fuck about what you think because they don't need you.

>Back in 1995 they removed all "satanic" images and names from the game in order to "clean it up" after pressure from parent interest group.
Considering satanic panic parents would burn your shit and forbid you from ever re-buying it until you left the house. It was not that parents would become likelier to boy MtG so much as they would care less about their children spending their allowance and free time on MtG
>A few years later, they brought demons back and nobody batted an eye.
satanic panic passed away, until islamic terrorism becomes irrelevant for american doomsday preachers very few if any christians are going to bat an eye about some demons in playing cards

i think you're right about the cheesecake, tho
feminazis and their white knights don't generally have children and would not start buying /tg/ /co/ and /vg/ stuff if it fitted their ideological standards. companies in all industries pander to them because they fear their vocal minority could actually ruin sales, which i'm not sure they can do at any meaningful level

Its a standard tactic that south park did. You show up with more than you want so when you get told whats wrong and you have to try again you dont end up cutting the scene you wanted. Tits might get listed over a gory scene because they got distracted and offended by the tits.

Other than people talking shit on the internet, I've never once seen or heard of this. I've been playing for over a decade, part of large and active communities for at least five years, and worked in a game shop for one. Nobody I know or know of has quit because of random fluff.

>instead of trying to focus time and energy on improving the game, they hired a consultant for the fluff on a shitty card no one plays and a bland story that no one remembers

That's why people are mad. Instead of trying to make the fucking game actually fucking fun to play, they'd rather just circlejerk about how progressive they are that they made a werewolf lesbian planeswalker that did fucking nothing both in terms of story and gameplay. At least during the Satanic Panic (the one in the 90s, around the time pokemon was taking off along with Harry Potter), the game was actually fun to play.

Oh yeah and that whole "We're banning Twin for format diversity" bullshit. Or "We're banning these three cards from Standard because only 3 decks are meta" which ended up just making ANOTHER 3 deck meta. 0 fucking concern about how the game works, but oh boy at least their reputation is good now!
>>
>>52238390

They like it when a woman bases her sexuality on spite or anger. Like political lesbianism or slut walks.

They just dislike it when a woman does something without trying to make it into a political strike against someone or something. The sjw attitude is "the personal is political", and anything that might run counter to that is a threat to the belief.

3 deck metas are fine. I remember Pokemon Black & White era, one of the best periods back then had three broad deck archetypes in tier 1 (Landorus, Darkrai, and Keldeo) and everything else was tier 2. It was great fun; the 3 decks had a neat rock-paper-scissors aspect to them AND even the unfavorable matchups weren't too lopsided.

This is just because they want a low powered standard, but guess what when you want a low powered format as soon as you print a decent card all the deck will revolve around it because the rest of the set is trash.

I hate that now they only try to catter to new player so now they can't print anything that will hurt timmy feels or is too complex for him. Like even when they design a world now you should only create a world that is based on the pop culture understanding of the source material or how all the world should be a theme park.
