Most people who play magic are very weird, or assholes or both. I don't think there is anything unique about the way women are treated at magic shops that is any different from the times myself or friends of mine have been treated badly.

At the end of the day, all the high level pros understand the importance of not fostering a community that's actively hostile to 50% of the population. Even though those comments are depressing, the fact that CFB and others publish such articles is ultimately a sign that things are looking up.

The fact that magic players as a group need to be reminded to have basic loving personal hygiene pretty much proves my point. It's for the most part a degenerate group of people.... sadly.

Someone earlier in this thread posted a link to some woman's twitter talking about how a local shop near her had banned Yu-gi-oh and it wasn't until just now that I remembered that one of my local shops had banned it about a year ago because the players were a bunch of rowdy shitheads. He also said his thefts went way down.

Lancelot posted:I don't understand the relationship between the lack of showering and your denial that sexism exists in Magic. I can't really deny that sexism exists in magic since it exists everywhere I'm sure there are a ton of sexists who play magic. I just don't think the problem with Magic is sexism per se. My point is that for whatever reason, Magic doesn't attract the highest quality of people sadly.

I SERIOUSLY can not believe that you are trying to say sexism isn't a major part of Magic culture. Are you going to try to tell me that misogyny isn't part of video gaming culture next?

Failboattootoot posted:Is it Yu-gi-oh? Yeeeeeeeeeeep. Also, it's kind of embarassing/sad how much better the Twitch MTG community (SCG/Official MTG streams aside) is toward women and minorities than the general magic population. When your behavior is embarassing compared to twitch chat, maybe you should re-evaluate your life.

A store in my current city (not that one) has also banned adult Yu-Gi-Oh players, and I have to ask...what is it about the game that attracts that demographic?

I'm gonna guess it's because yugioh can be played on motorbikes if the third anime series is anything to go on. KidDynamite posted:Cool casual racism. Actually I don't think that behavior is correlated to any racial categorization wrt yugioh players. I think it may have something to do w/ the idea that Yugioh's game mechanics are awful for a competitive game. It's a fun game for goldfishing but not much else.

My LGS kicked out Yugioh for theft and other lovely behavior. it seems like a much younger crowd than magic.

Isn't it just a critical mass thing? Like new players try to play it, encounter a gamut of assholes, and are either repelled or welcomed into the brotherhood. It's like LoL or TF2.

There's definitely a critical mass aspect of it and it's also part of the reason there's less women playing Magic than men. People are just going to be more likely to do something when they see a lot of other people like them doing so, and less likely when everyone doing something is not like them.
