Yeah man, those posts have absolutely nothing to do with you making GBS threads up this thread going “CAN WE STOP TALKING ABOUT COVID RELATED THINGS THAT ALSO RELATE TO MAGIC.” There’s absolutely no correlation there.

How about you, as others have said, shut tha gently caress up and stop posting, and ignore the posts about COVID like you ignore the facts about COVID.

Oh I was going to tell ya about my title. Didn't happen in CSPAM! Was fallout from D&D discussion. I took an anti-Malthus position (pro-Malthus was probatable in CSPAM then fwiw, though I didn't know that at the time) which is what it's referring to. You might be shocked that whoever bought mischaracterized my position. Although it's easily fixed by changing "feminism and healthcare" to "population control" which was the actual topic but naturally they couldn't admit to that so they went with bullshit instead.

Oh I recognize this rabbit hole you're hinting at. Chatted at length with some anti-vaxxers for awhile as it became apparent it was the root of their belief system. For those spared of that line of thought it goes:

"Bill Gates has talked about how overpopulation will be a problem -> therefore he wants there to be less people -> which will be done via killing people -> which will be done putting chemicals in the water, chem trails, 5G, vaccines, etc. etc."

Granted, I'm not saying Perry believes all that, but that's one road where those bread crumbs go. It's dumb, but hey, people need movie villains.


Anyhoo, anyone drafted Kamigawa yet virtually? Seems like it'd be a blast, though I'm curious how complicated it gets with all the cards with twenty subtypes.

There is no saturation point. Anything can be doubled forever!

But really, the plan is to hit the saturation point, then sell it to another stupid company that will produce an astonishing amount of poo poo product in an attempt to make their billion dollar purchase pay for it itself in an absurdly short period of time. Then the game finally dies except for user created sets, which will be C&Ded instantly upon creation.

That said, we feel we should make this clear: If you come into TG and start breaking out any of the 'covid isn't real' or 'covid isn't dangerous' conspiracy theories it is not going to go well for you. Our patience for that poo poo is nil.

If you want to talk about covid, there's a thread in GBS, and if you want to argue bitterly about it then there's one in D&D and one in C-SPAM.

"Supply chain problems aren't caused by Covid" is edging riiiiight up to the cliff of "...because covid isn't really a big deal" which is one form of covid denialism and get hit hard around here. Perry Mason Jar didn't quite say that exactly so I'll just make it clear that don't bring that poo poo in here still applies as a warning.

"Please don't talk about supply chain problems caused by covid" and "please don't talk about the magic the gathering man who thinks the right-wing march/truck drive/whatever in Canada is Bad" are both unreasonable requests for the Magic the Gathering thread. They're directly relevant to current events in Magic.

It would be lovely to hit people with probations for statements like "goddamn you're dumb" but when it's in response to conspiracy-theory-adjacent posting it's pretty hard to do that!

Yes. I always look at rap sheets. I tried to find a post in this thread that was a clear repeat of those priors and in my own reading of them, I couldn't confidently do so. Another mod might see it differently.
