How many women do you see play magic? For real. Its like %10 max in my city

How many women do you see play magic? For real. Its like %10 max in my city.

Wow, it's like you're psychic!

Its almost like politics have somehow seeped into this game... Wonder how.

Yea fuck him.

Who is more pathetic?

Former in quality. Latter in quantity.

He might be a bit too passionate for his own good, but I think his heart is in the right place. He should cool down with the sperging though

Politics aside, I stopped visiting his channel when the clickbait got amped up to eleven.

Culture runs downstream from politics.

Reposting

WoTC politics are why I stopped being as interested. A friend of mine who still plays regularly said that they're trying to get 50% representation in judges. Is this true?

>trying to get 50% representation in judges
The only way they're going to acomplish that is by fireing all judges

all i know is that they try to be inclusive and diverse in their artworks, pic related.
I mean, they can do what they want with the universe they've created, but this looks lke blatant demagogy.

Heard about this, but it died down quick.
Probably once they Realise

>J_O_Lemongelo
any relation with lemonparty ?

Obvious black lady is obvious.

women (male) count as women for gender equality statistics, and M:tG community has good number of those

Wizards of the Coast has already been overtaken by social justice warriors.
There is no hope.
Continuing to invest in their products is a mistake.
Pirate everything.
Starve the beast.

tranny elves have been a thing since 1st edition, Elminster had his share of "living as a woman". this is nothing new

I have no idea about pen and paper rpgs but does that mean I can play as an attack helicopter? That sounds fucking amazing.

Yes

Newsflash, Wizards of the Coast was a left-wing company from its founding.

>Wizards of the Coast was a left-wing company from its founding

"left-wing" doesn't mean the same thing it did back in the 90s. Weakness and self-victimization were not virtues.

Yes.

>I DON'T LIKE THING!
Ok.

What did he mean by this?

I really don't understand the whole following around cosplayers. What kind of grown man follows the life of an average looking woman who plays dress-up and sends her money through the internet? Absolutely ridiculous.

This scenario with MtG is ridiculous when applied to other industries. Imagine the same blow-up imaging Overwatch, japanese animes, D&D, etc... You wouldn't have the company in question release statements concerning the average looking women playing dress-up.

>implying people wouldn't like to see some hot man cosplays

>TCC Professor
>WotC's bitch
You can call him a lot of things, but a WotC shill is not one of them. He has always defaulted in favor of the consumer.

SJWs are a minor problem compared to all of the bullshit WotC has done.
>shitty Standard meta, especially when Aether Revolt came around
>reduction of card power, especially at commons
>no longer doing FNM promos

Cosplayers don't have anything to do with mtg and giving them money so they dress up as scantily clad cards is stupid

"Nobody cares about cosplayers."
He's not wrong. The only thing I care about cosplayers is are they hot enough to go into the fap folder or not.

It reminds them of the hentai they watch, but it's 3D.

Almost as easy for a girl to take money from nerds as it is for an inflammatory neckbeard to get views from Sup Forumsacks who don't actually play the game.

He couldn't be more pandering if he tried. He's a smart guy, he knows his audience and he's pandering for the views so he can make money solely off of his hobby.

Mtg cosplay is rare and with so little women playing, WotC cares about every single high profile one. If a neckbeard edgelord scared off one of them they will probably ban him, just out of spite if nothing else. I'm not really sure how to feel about this. MTG really could use more girls and less neckbeard edgelords. It's unfair to him, but still.

>with so little women playing
According to Maros research we're having 35% female players

Sure, but it's a lie.

>Muh Pol boogeyman

this again?

Show me any gamestore proof of that ratio.

1/20 at my local hoby shop roughly. Are they just playing online and at kitchen tables?

The ride never ends

It's not a boogeyman if it's accurate. He frequently rants and raves about SJWs and the regressive left in a manner that is indicative of a regular Sup Forumsack.

We just had this thread, faggot. Anything that could be established by arguing has already been established. Get lost with your shitty e-celeb drama.

pretty sure it's self-reported

Mate for fuck's sake how many times are you going to make this thread? What new shit is going to be added to the discussion at this point? Stop fucking spamming.

You're right. It's not Sup Forums, it's reddit. Specifically it's overreactive redditors for KiA, political infiltrators from r/T_D, and losers from r/incel. Sup Forums probably hates them as much as we do, it's just that Sup Forums usually keeps to themselves in their shitty board rather than go around all boards exaggerating the power of SJWs.

>Are they just playing online and at kitchen tables?
Probably. Hobbyshop MtG players are some of the worst people that go to the one near me.

If this triggers you, I agree there is no hope for you.

He's just drowning in pussy, ain't he?

>anecdotes are more reliable than a statement from an official representative of the company

Even if WotC has tinkered with the numbers to get the best possible percentage of female players, they still have more accurate numbers than any anecdotal evidence brought up here. I trust what Mark Rosewater says more than I trust the statements of "but muh lgs" that are posted here.

Maro based those numbers off of a twitter poll though, which lead to Jeremy doing the only semi-intelligent form of satire he's ever done (the unusally high quality hasn't stopped him from deleting it though it seems) where he put up his own twitter poll asking people if Mark Rosewater has ever sexually violated them. The poll received 70% yes's.

what else are you going to do?
complain about energy decks or talk about monster girls in fantasy?

>Maro based those numbers off of a twitter poll though
Source?

Both.

; ; i feel violated when I play against storm

52% of magic players are women according to the latest twitter polls.

Yes, both of those are better than this.

>a twitter poll
the most legitimate platform for collecting data

Have you ever considered that maybe YOUR shitty views are at fault and not everyone else's?

>pandering to SJW women
>drowning in pussy

I guarantee he'd get more pussy standing up to those SJWs than he would by joining the "toxic masculinity" crowd.

>pic related, how SJW women see the men helping them in their crusade

>it's just that Sup Forums usually keeps to themselves in their shitty board rather than go around all boards exaggerating the power of SJWs.

Go to any thread on Sup Forums. Jeremy seems more like these idiots, than actual Sup Forums and Sup Forums is flooded with them.

This means that 52% of the people in this thread should be cute women
I demand to see your feet!

>people are singling him out as a straight white male member of the alt-right
>he immediately complains about identity politics
he should get a pr agent.
he's doing himself no favors with this rant.

>I have no arguments against him
>Oh I know, I'll insult his sex life
Bugman....

>he's doing himself no favors with this rant.
I think that's actually what his fanbase wants
Why else would he have agreed to get interviewed by Kotaku
He's stirring up shit to become more popular

"Nice guy" is a word for the guy who bitches and whines about not getting pussy even though he's a "nice guy."

It's a term for incels, user.

The only girl I've seen playing magic was a 10 year old girl at the last pre release.

Poor girl. The first set she gets to expirience is shit

No, they're not playing at all.

We got one fatty who plays commander horribly

She had fun from observation. Even with a neckbeard rushing her on her turns.

>fatty
So a guy then?

sometimes there is a girl at FNM

That video in specific is correct. WOTC has invested immensely in womans depictions and flying them to events. This had virtually zero effect on women in mtg numbers.

The complaint women have about MTG has nothing to do with female art or not. No girl quit or started MTG because a pro tour had a female commentator.

It's basically not an effective way to improve female participation but they pretend it does.

That seems pretty likely from the fact he was bitching how women find it easier to take cash from retards.

After reading mtg related Twitter for the first time I can't help noticing that there is a huge number of traps in the magic comunity

Yup, local joint has token 12 y/o. She is daughter of one regular. Does pretty good at constructed and doesn't totally suck at limited either (seen her make Top 4 out of 20+ people once).

>Maros research

I have 3 out of maybe 50 players total playing in our LGS. It's the highest number I ever seen desu.

Hey, no need to bring race into this, asshole.

>The community trap
If you're trans, trap may as well be a compliment. You're passing enough to fool people into thinking you're a woman.

Is that like "village bike" except with more penor?

>After reading mtg related Twitter for the first time I can't help noticing that there is a huge number of traps in the magic comunity

Those aren't "traps". Those are dudes in skirts. Trust me I went to a GP vegas one time, only big event I've been to. 99% men, 1% women, and a few skirt-wearing dudes .

I personally found the event as a not big into MTG person (maybe 2-3 pre release) to be a very bad experience but mainly because of the formatting. Tournaments themselves take forever and there is a huge amount of downtime.

>the community trap

top kek

Exactly.

He's got a patreon, he panders to an audience by spouting the politics he wants them to hear and by showering them with praise for what they think:
>... In their Magic the Gathering echo chamber, where they're able to rally thousands of people, who are brainwashed, who just listen and believe... She doesn't have to prove any of it, because the line of thirsty beta-males is out the door to listen to her and believe her...
>... This is a tell-tale attack on a wrong-thinker, on somebody who won't step in line. I suspect you who subscribe to me on TheQuartering will see that. We will garner support for people's rights to have their own opinion. I won't get that support in the Magic the Gathering community... That's why I started this second Youtube channel, TheQuartering. We've grown so strong and we have a force here, of people that don't just accept. People here are actually questioning things...

But oh no, he's not pandering to an audience at all, he's just a good boy who dindu nothing.

I just don't see how this could pass
you're right...

>Starve the beast.

They've already lost ca. 8 million players from since 2015. Now they're down to 12 million "active" players, like they were in 2012. They could only increase revenue so much with additional products to increase the milking, but they're at their limit now.

Given how Standard is still shit (MUH ENERGY), Ixalan Limited is AIDS in card form, massive card stock problems and pressure from rivals increasing (both in paper and especially online), they're probably going to lose even more.

>You wouldn't have the company in question release statements concerning the average looking women playing dress-up.
It does seem like Wizards and half the community only really give a shit because omg gurl, though honestly the guy in question is a prime shit. I mean, are they suppose to run back off holiday and pen a press release about the time someone was a rudey-poo to a woman and how that's awful? When they banned asscrack guy for eighteen months for pointing out low standards in grooming at events? Do Wizards only care about the toxic underbelly of their captive fandom now a woman is suffering?

This, the Professor has never been afraid to rip Wizards a new one, both over Modern pricing where he points out just how bullshit card prices are, or over this years holiday gift box, which he lays into utterly just as sales begin.

Never mind. That's not fooling anyone.

Weird how trans are supposed to be less than 1% of the population and yet they're everywhere when it comes to gaming hobbies.

Well desu you shouldn't trust what he is saying blindly when he isn't providing any proof to support his claim and manipulating statistics could benefit him and the company he is representing. And while anonymous persons claiming what their gender-ratio is in their lgs doesn't say if it's the case everywhere else, there is some truth to assuming that the average male/female ratio is really heavily male dominated.
I can't speak for other countries, but in my country there are probably under 10 female players that attend sanctioned tournaments regularly (say 1 time in a year). Compare it to the 500-1000 male players that attend, there is a huge difference that doesn't compare well to what MaRo said, even though I acknowledge that my country's player gender ratio doesn't reflect the rest of the worlds ratio.
Never trust a spokesperson speaking of statistics, unless he presents real proof behind them. That applies especially to that kike MaRo.

wig, makeup, lose 30 pounds

>WOTC has invested immensely in womans depictions and flying them to events. This had virtually zero effect on women in mtg numbers.

That's terrible. This is what happens when you pretend men and women are identical, interchangeable human units.

The company went this direction because the prevailing SJW ideology regarding men and women is that there are zero psychology differences (never mind how the whole idea of trans-people contradicts this). Based off this idea, WoTC figured that women are identically apt to play MtG as men are and it would be an easy matter of doubling their audience by simply promoting more women.

Yep, as a super casual tard, First match was okay, 2nd match the person had dropped and I thought about the 1 1/2 hour wait till next match and just went home.

I don't think the hygiene or anything like that was a big problem. People generally felt social and friendly. If anything it's just girls have zero interest in investing all that time or money to play along with the social aspect not being appealing to women in general.

>Be young me during Onslaught days
>Go to Magic store to play casually
>Get introduced to Angel
>Full-grown man wearing pink frilly clothes with the bushiest beard possible with she/her pronouns
>Only plays monowhite Angel decks
>Find out she literally thinks she's an angel that must do good deeds on Earth before returning to Heaven
>Cries a single tear whenever you use black spells to destroy her angels or block with a black creature

These people need therapy, not representation.

>MTG really could use more girls and less neckbeard edgelords.

Maybe they should start enforcing a dress code for tournaments, for starts. Maybe, just maybe, more women wouldn't be put off if they weren't greated by lardass buttcracks.

But then they would shit all over their core audience.

That man is a saint and what WotC did to him was a crime.

I say this as someone who thinks the folks defending the asstard in the OP are also asstards.

If I'm going to make a choice, I'm going to trust the spokesperson of an organization and the official statistics that he has access to over anecdotes from individuals that likely have political motivation to rebuke the statistics stated by said spokesperson.

No it's what happens when you have a bad strategy and think it will work with no statistical evidence. They should have done a heavily female set and see if it had any effect on numbers. (it wouldnt.)

Female depictions are not enough to make girls play. Hearthstone and Shadowverse have more females playing it than MTG does. I don't think it's possible for a trading card game like MTG to succeed with women given all the dynamics of it.

If they wanted more females they should fire their writers, hire decent ones, and build more interesting worlds/stories along with going digital.

>But then they would shit all over their core audience.
Isn't that exactly what they're doing right now? Neckbeard kun who spends a high portion of his disposable income on booster boxes doesn't really care about female participation does he?
