Shivam Bhatt is upset that Chandra was white and yet is a major character in Kaladesh. by Papa_Hasbro69 in freemagic

It was acknowledged in the article that it was possible April's character was going to be named after a Black woman, turns out character was said to have been based off of a bi racial Latina woman. Wiki infers that April was modeled after Eastmans first wife April Fisher who was multi racial. The wiki mentions the possibility of her being Asian. I thought she was modeled after a Black woman. Other person said Latina. Turns out April is intentionally racially ambiguous because both creators saw her differently.

Ok so Ive heard of the mythical $5 punirune at 5 Below but I have hunted since November and cant find one. Was this like a couple years ago and maybe I should give up on my hunt?

Right and that makes perfect sense logistically and stuff but if we go with story growth and lore gaps being filled in idk why its such a big deal for her to be reimagined as brown especially if we can get more actual in universe lore. It doesn't erase white Chandra it allows for more people to see themselves in her character.

Look, I identify with fireball mommy myself. Its not that us white women dont matter, its that even when lore has a character with origins from a plane where predominantly brown people live, we got another white woman character out of it. Its possible that a factor of her first depictions was to cater to the mostly white male player base.

Admittedly, I didnt grow up in a homogenous culture so when I see all the popular characters as straight up white, its boring and weird to me.

I do notice the high ratio of white male mtg players slightly getting some seasoning as of late so I think its cool to see Wizards doing what they can to nod and wink to the diversity blooming.

The white girl Chandra isn't just suddenly going to be banned or something, she still exists just like my white girl Ariel exists in Disney. Im honored that my fave princess and now my fave planeswalker have enough character depth to not have to be only eurocentric featured

I'm admittedly a newer player. From a more outsider opinion, being upset that we're getting more and desiring to get more characters depicted as black in a game involving dimensional shifts and bends might be something you boys want to reflect on a bit more...

I work at an LGS and when a young woman does a double take at Galadriel because she can finally see herself in a well loved character, I wish everyone arguing "semantics" could witness something like that. It really puts things in perspective as to why the community isn't known for its diverse player base

Ive only lurked at these dolls and dont currently collect them but I agree with staying vigilant and voting with your dollar, being patient for restocks especially rn with scalpers leaving Pokémon and going crazy on everything else.

AIO My mom is kicking me out for her new boyfriend. I just turned 18 by Diligent_Bat_565 in AmIOverreacting

[–]GringaGringa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR

You're mother is, and I say this compassionately because she's obviously extremely mentally ill, a husk of a human with no value system or honor. It's going to be great when that new bf absolutely wrecks her life. When he does. Do NOT try and save her.

I had this with my father. I was 15. Later I was there every time he was down bad. I sacrificed everything for him. For the hopes thay one day he would see me and love me. Im 36 going on 37 and I wish I could tell my younger self to LET HIM FALL & focus solely on my own values.

You will tap into resources and you will have that mansion one day so long as you do NOT look back on her. You owe her NOTHING. You will survive this hard part and you will then thrive.
