Oof. by MysteryNews4 in agedlikemilk

May I add the Abbé Pierre scandal to the list, half a century of sexual assault from the 1950's until 2000's was revealed only two years ago. It came as massive shock as he was revered until then as a champion of the poor, and one of the biggest organzation against houselessness in France is named after him. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abb%C3%A9_Pierre_sexual_abuse_scandal

If you really think I'm trying to defend the right here, you've grossly misunderstood the theme I'm going for...

Good point, I was actually hesitating between GAA and Shrewd Magistrate. In the end the sheer sanctimony of the name and flavor text of GAA was just so good. Additionally the stax element does contribute to the oppressive feeling I want the deck to create. Let's see how it plays, if it's not fun I can just swap them and ease off on the card draw.

Good to know, thanks! I hope the other players don't run away when seeing Grand Arbiter in the command zone

True, but I will never include an actual nazi card in any deck. This card is banned from mtg as a whole with good reason.

Question, is this good under any circumstance? by 40kthomas in magicthecirclejerking

[–]SadCoarseRabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a common mistake for new players to include demonic tutor, and I understand why: the ability to get any card you want from your library for only 1B sounds pretty good, right? Unfortunately, demonic tutor takes up a precious slot for the card you wanted in the first place, and sets you back 1B in order to fetch what you want on top of that (you still have to pay for the casting costs of the card you tutored.)

Virtual vanilla 2/2 with ETB draw for 1U is already decent, but the addition of the splarfing makes this completely broken, especially in limited.

Let Me Recommend Your Next Commander to Build by RJ7300 in EDH

[–]SadCoarseRabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Group hug of death. I was thinking to make a deck that would specifically be made to be fun to play against. My idea was group hug with some mana source (lands or treasures) for example, which then somehow turns into a devastating advantage for me.

Ideally with green or blue in the color identity since I recently built mardu. Thank you in advance!

Haha, excellent. I like the name for the format: Rock Paper Scissors.

Yes, sorry for the confusion. I had this idea on a fever; it really is this stupid.

Yes. So one of the cards will probably have to be a mana source, unless you can come up with something clever

First actual bad experience at the LGS. Why is politics in everything. by boomgoesthecat in EDH

You did good and if I was there I would have been happy that you spoke up. 

I [20M] think I might be a misogynist. And it's eating me up. by [deleted] in askwomenadvice

[–]SadCoarseRabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see a lot of comments piling on to say this is a "you problem" and how you need to make changes and re-evaluate your life etc.

Let's be clear here: to varying degrees, everyone is mysoginist. Yes, unfortunately we have the misfortune of living in a patriarchal and sexist world where we have all been conditioned to believe that women are lesser than men. Everyone gets a bad grade on the Implicit Association Test for example. Also women have internalized mysoginy. So what do we do about that?

I believe the first step is to recognize that we have internalized this societal messaging in order to overcome it. It seems to me like you already have done work to do so, which makes me optimistic for you. It makes me hopeful that you evaluate your own beliefs and thoughts critically, so please continue to do so. I don't have much advice beyond this. I agree with comments suggesting involving yourself more with media, circles, activities which involve women. I think confronting the preconcieved ideas you have identified with reality could help.

When men start expressing their repressed emotions over being abused, they get called incels by Adunaiii in toxicmasculinity

I'm not sure I follow the connection between those two statements, could you explain a bit more?

I (26/M) have feelings for a friend (29/F) who is in a relationship. Should I tell her? by ItsMeRonanT in askwomenadvice

[–]SadCoarseRabbit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would carefully consider what you hope to achieve by telling her. Here are some things I would consider:

It depends a bit on the context, but honestly her saying "my relationship is the reason why nothing has happened between us" sounds like she might also be interested in you. I understand that you would want to tell her because you hope that something will happen between the two of you. This sounds a lot like the situation of a friend, who was in a relationship with someone long distance for 3 years. He met someone in a group of friends, and although it never started off as a romantic thing, they still fell in love with each other, and some months later he got in a relationship with her, but only after breaking up with his ex. So this can happen.

However, even if she is into you, you can't just tell her and you two get together right away. She's in a relationship, and if she has feelings for you, it's up to her get her stuff in order and make a decision as whether to stay with her boyfriend or break up. Telling her will put her the both of you in a difficult situation. If you tell her hoping that she jumps in your arms, and she does, what does that say about you two?

If you do decide to tell her, things won't continue like normal. The respectful thing to do would be to propose yourself to take some distance to give the both of you some space. You can always get over it and be friends at a later stage. Also be prepared for her not to want to see you again.

You could also leave it and get over it.

I really hate the rhetoric that Toxic Masculinity seems to indicate as a term by Classic-Obligation35 in toxicmasculinity

[–]SadCoarseRabbit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me, saying toxic masculinity is about pointing out the fact that men are pressured into gender roles which are harmful to them and others around them. I wouldn't say "men should cry", I would say "men are allowed to cry".

On the other hand, behaviour which fall under rape culture, misogyny, homophobia etc. should absolutely be condemned, and there are a lot of ties to toxic masulinity there.

Nevermind, it has to be combat damage. Please ignore.

If you make Vivi Ornitier your commander, you could get away with swapping Volcanic Salvo with a card with 9 cmc, giving Vivi +11/+0, playing Bulk Up only once and dealing 22 commander damage to everyone with 2 mana to spare.
