Getting really sick of these tweets I keep seeing acting like caring about the secret lair issue and caring about real world problems are mutually exclusive. The fact that bigger problems exist doesn't mean I can't be pissed off that one of my escapes from that is being ruined.
Like, magic is a big part of my life and friends I've made through magic are some of the people I'm closest to. And feeling like this thing I've gotten emotionally invested in just isn't for me anymore fucking sucks.
Yeah it's relatively inconsequential compared to the shit state of the world but you know what? Everything else being terrible makes the fact that the connection I have to this major thing in my life is being broken down hurt even more!
The fact that I care about this hobby that's been a big part of my life for years doesn't mean I don't also care about other things and the idea that it's one or the other is just fucking stupid.
The one that really got to me was this one that implied that if you're upset about the secret lair you must care more about that than the way women are treated in the community, which is fucking frustrating because it's so obviously bad faith.
Like no shit I care a lot about the way women are treated in competitive magic I fucking am one?!? But also like, at the same time how am I supposed to fight to make the community better if the reason it exists in the first place is being driven into the fucking ground?
Anyway sorry for the angry rant thread, I think I'm probably gonna end up just quitting the game permanently because of this shit and that hurts a whole fucking lot.
Fuck wotc, fuck the way capitalism ruins creativity, and fuck the walking dead. I'm sure there are people designing this game who don't want this but what can they do? If killing the game to make slightly more profit from it's corpse is what the market demands then it'll happen.
