I think Lightning Bolt would actually be reasonable. Most of the creatures in the format are either x/2 or x/4, with only Deathmist Raptor and Fleecemane Lion being the relevant x/3s.

And the fact that people vehemently disagreed with him, and actually pushed it to the point that star city pulled the article is just horrifying.

Davis said, essentially, "Hey, it's actually kinda sexist/racist/whateverist to treat people differently on the basis of their sex/race/whatever, even if it's preferential treatment. In the case of women in magic, we should celebrate those who show exceptional performance, on par with others who perform excellently...not lower the bar arbitrarily to include some token amount so that others feel "welcome." Just be cool and decent to everyone."

Comments on the article and on reddit made it quite clear this was wholly unacceptable, and anyone who felt differently should be shamed and outcast from society. Men are bad, and women should have a lower bar in magic because feelings.

regardless, admittedly I've skimmed both articles but I don't recall the article written by the lady person encouraging preferential treatment,as such writing an article shortly afterward condemning preferential treatment seems both unwarranted and in poor taste

Never mind the editorial decision to publish it

I haven't read the other article, but there's been a LOT around reddit and other places recently about women in magic, and preferential treatment has been one of the main things that a lot of big voices are calling for, so I don't see it as in poor taste at all.

Then again, I don't ever see arguing against preferential treatment as in poor taste.

Am I the only one who thinks that a lot of the men who argue for this cause so vehemently, in secret, are interested in getting more women in the game solely out of a selfish desire to increase their odds of getting a "cool gamer girlfriend?" I mean, that's essentially the definition of a "white knight, "right?
You are not the only one. And I think it's the cool gamer girlfriend thing, plus looking all open minded and "womyn ally"ish for women outside of the game.

My wife plays. She hates being treated preferentially because she doesn't feel she's earned it just by being a woman. And most of the other girls that play there are...horrid. Just obnoxious and unpleasant. I don't want more obnoxious people playing, whether they have boobs or not.

Who knew Chandra was Indian?
Yeah, it's a very Indian name. I used to work with a woman named Chandra, and her parents came here from India in the 70's.

Come to think of it Nalaar is also really Indian.

Hair dye is a thing. On the average day in St. Louis you'll see more black women with red hair than white.

Interesting side note:

I was listening to MaRo's podcast and he said that he believes that granting cards in graveyards flashback should be a red ability and snapcaster should have been red, and the next time flashback comes back he wants red snapcaster. Thoughts?

I'm for preferential treatment to a point as either a form of deferred entitlement(I'm a veteran), or as a form of closing a gap(I'm black, affirmative action, etc.)

As for the whole women in magic thing, I think it's a good idea to give more visibility to women in magic as being a minority, I DO understand and how seeing people who look like you doing something makes that something more appealing as something you can do and creates an easier transition into it if it where something you where interested in to begin with. It's something that's hard to understand for people who aren't largely considered an 'other'(sorry white guys).

As far as actually treating women, a big point is when you deal with them on an individual basis is that you DON'T treat them special. Whenever a new chick comes into a magic store, she's basically a unicorn and seen as something alien which guess what, alienates them and is bad. So basically the only preferential treatment that should be given to women that would be a benefit is on the macro scale of including qualified women commentators or featuring women on camera more(say once or twice a GP if the opportunity presents itself) which is solely for the sake of visibility.

Having said all that, Davis's article was well intended, but had some glaring issues with his nomenclature and examples but the backlash was abhorrent. I was excessively angry reading the comments of people talking about how aweful everything was. The PC culture we live in today leaves such a foul taste in my mouth and the fact that all these cocksuckers want equality or whatever but are unwilling to have civil discussion with people who are some combination of ignorant to the complexity of the issues at hand or simply have dissenting opinions is ludicrous. I mean I get it, but the way everyone just reacts with outrage is NOT how you enact meaningful change.

As far as them taking Jim's article down, while I'm staunchly opposed to censorship, I'm well aware that as Mav said, SCG has a bottom line to protect and in this context, them pulling the article is at least justifiable as something viewed so negatively for better or worse is potentially very damaging to sales.

The commentator one is easy because as Kait says, they just need to fire a bunch of commentators because they're all horrible on the WotC side.

Throw Melissa Da Tora's awkward ass in the booth. Better then letting Rashad touch a mic ever.

AJ's a fairly intelligent person. I skimmed through the article and overall it was good. Some of his analogies were weak, but he nonetheless got his point across.

This doesn't change the fact that reactions to Jim's article were ridiculously blown out of proportion.

Also, most arguments that refer to "privileged" tend to be very offputting and even unbearable to read, but AJ presented his argument in a way that this was not the case here. That's honestly the first time I've experienced that.

For whatever reason, I have now read every article involved with this. Jim's article was pretty trashy and full of crap but it shouldn't have been pulled, and the "rebuttal" articles are as bad or worse. I tend to side with the white knights in matters like this, because I wage a private war against the common FNM player, but it doesn't mean I revolt against anything trying to broach the subject from a non-tampon-up-the-ass angle.
