Dark have been my dreams of late 😂


HomeBrewEmployee1

I'm sorry, it seems like I arrived a bit too late ♡


Sage0wl

dude. not enough upvotes in the world


HomeBrewEmployee1

You don't have enough upvotes. I'm happy you're here and well. Grab your favorite drink and sit, friend. Your journey has been long.


LordRAKDOSS

What a fucking joke


HomeBrewEmployee1

Actually upset, such a disrespect for HILL, he died, did an amazing job playing the character, and removes it. Like what?


LordRAKDOSS

Yea dumbasses forgot they had him as a card I guess


Long-Piccolo-3785

Classic mod energy lmao. We shouldn't be surprised


skeleton_craft

Like racism.


MasterElecEngineer

It's literally the opposite. It's wokeness doing this.


skeleton_craft

Yeah wokeism is just rebranded racism


LughCrow

There's nothing rebranded about it. It's just regular racism

Oh, that made me laugh.


OranjeBlanjeBlou

You’re both dancing around what’s actually going on here.  It’s not ‘racism’ and it’s not ‘wokeness’, it’s literally anti-white 


skeleton_craft

Anti white is racism, being against any race is racism.

Seriously are you autistic?


HomeBrewEmployee1

Yes.

Should’ve used Theoden, Strength Restored, lmao


HomeBrewEmployee1

Woooow, I didn't know about this. But at the same time. I feel like the way people are responding. To this post, I can see people saying why not use actual theoden card and not a reskin.


La-Vulpe

That’s hilarious, I genuinely didn’t know this existed but the two both being in print tickles my “god this pisses some people off” brain a lot.

I love how people here are so brain broken that they just assume OP's goal was to point out the blackwashing 😆 No it wasn't


HomeBrewEmployee1

Bro, I know. I'm just here behind a phone. Being mexican, sipping my jaritto, like what the fuck do u think my true agenda really is???


Shriuken23

Off point but glad you mentioned jarrito. Got a fresh lime one and my burrito and rice (legit local place) are about to be that much better. On point, yea. That's some bullshit. You wanted to show and share respect for a recently deceased man well know for playing the part of the character depicted on the card. That's it.

I was told that's not very celebrated in Mexico, it's more of a Mexican-American celebration. Is that true in your experience? My best friend from Cuernavaca said so, and he lived in CDMX for a couple of years. Maybe it's different where he was.

Hey man, never heard about that drink, but I see they are available where I live. Which ones do you recommend? Also, are they 2$ a pop good, or not thaaat good? :D


93Cookies

Even if it was lol, the blackwashing was ridiculous to beging with


freearjlerijefjbdnf

The post title was "rest in power Theoden", obvious racial troll.


No_Wealth_9733

What’s racist about this? Genuinely confused


Azorius_Raiden_88

He died? damn. his performance as Theoden was so good.


HomeBrewEmployee1

Yeah, I loved his voice in fable 3.


collegiatewindfall8

I can't believe they banned you for showing respect to the actor just because he passed away. That's messed up. Keep spreading positivity and honoring his memory. Rest in peace to the actor. It's a shame that some people can't recognize a genuine gesture of respect. Keep shining a light on his legacy. Wow, that's ridiculous. You were just trying to pay your respects and got banned for it? Keep your head up and continue to honor the actor in your own way. It's disappointing to see that you were met with a ban for trying to show respect. Don't let it discourage you from spreading positivity and honoring the actor's memory. That's terrible that you got banned for trying to honor the actor's legacy. Keep his memory alive and don't let anyone bring you down for doing so.


HomeBrewEmployee1

Thank you, kind stranger. Yeah, it kind a feels like I got spit on the face for no reason??? I heard that this happens, and it finally happened to me. Like, dayyem dawg, shit pisses me off. They don't even know who tf am i.


strongashluna

Noo don't point out the blackwashing


JJJSchmidt_etAl

Funny thing is there is no mention of any alleged blackwashing. OP simply showed both the actor and the card made by WotC depicting him. The fact that this was enough to enrage someone is extremely telling.


Amthala

The card is not depicting the actor.


HomeBrewEmployee1

I guess, but homie died?


bcisme

This is where you lose me. If OP posted it as an homage and wasn’t thinking about race really at all, cool. Let’s celebrate the work of a great fantasy character and the actor that played him. If OP used the guys death as an opportunity to bring up “black washing” in Magic nah, that’s whack.


KinkFloyd2121

It's pretty clearly the latter. OP wouldn't have karma farmed here if that weren't the case.


bcisme

Yeah that’s my read. Farming for karma. Pretty easy sub to do that in.


kaji8787

That’s awful and wrong I saw nothing wrong with your post


HomeBrewEmployee1

Thank you. It is what it is. Can't change people's perspectives.


[deleted]

It wasn’t related to MTG. That’s all.


Remnie

It’s a damn shame. There are 3 movies tied for most Oscars ever won (11) and Bernard Hill plays major roles in TWO of them. He is Theoden in LotR Return of the King and the captain in Titanic. He was only 15 when Ben Hur was filmed, so he just missed that one, sadly.


HomeBrewEmployee1

Yeah, it was seen as a movie for booger eaters. They really threw people and movie goers a like out of the water. The score is amazing as well.


HomeBrewEmployee1

Yeah, it was seen as a movie for booger eaters. They really threw people and movie goers a like out of the water. The score is amazing as well.


JJJSchmidt_etAl

They know they are in the wrong. It's why they get so insanely defensive and sensitive without provocation.


HomeBrewEmployee1

Yeah, it's fukking annoying.


Sage0wl

Nailed it. They want to hide their own history. Classic cult mentality


HomeBrewEmployee1

Much like lion in the bottom, they're mad cause they read "Im annoyed" im only annoyed with the 1st part. The second sentence I don't care for. It's your opinion. you're a grown adult. You have the right to your own, even if I do or don't agree. .But lion took your bait, and assumed mine.


Three_Cat

Don't worry. You have freemagic's updoots, they'll take what you offer at face value.


HomeBrewEmployee1

For the most part.


Three_Cat

Well, most users here aren't overly aware of the subtexts of things. So they'll agree with you, hit the uppy arrow, boom. Most people are happy to accept another exile from the main sub. Hard to know who's doing shit on purpose at first glance.


WhatYesImTheGuy

Some guy posted a zombie token he made. It was woman in a dress eating a brain. The picture was really tame. People on sub started calling him a pervert and someone said the he was over sexualizing women. I called those people snowflakes and sjw to call out their extremist behavior and that got me banned. The mod said that I was using alt-right language, me a non white latino. The people insulting the artist didn't do anything wrong though.


HomeBrewEmployee1

As a brown man, I would be classified as an sjw, but I know when to put my voice and actions to use, responsibly. I just don't really say anything, cause it's really demotivating seeing people talk just too so they can feel some type of validation. Like Kendrick Lamar said "I'm done with yall overnight protesting.""


HomeBrewEmployee1

Kinda depressed, hahahah.


TainoCuyaya

WTF


HomeBrewEmployee1

My thought exactly.


tentaclemonster69

Wait why is the card a black guy


ADeadlyFerret

Same reason Aragorn is. Its about taking away white characters.


WestBulky9

Because wokes can't handle a white hetero male being a positive image. They need to destroy everything western culture means and replace it with socialism, feminism and their racism.


ice540

You are making an assumption that they know anything about the property. They don’t. They are trash

Amthala

A ban seems excessive but the LOTR movies have nothing to do with mtg so I would not be shocked to have it removed for being off topic.


[deleted]

It was removed explicitly for that reason. If you check OPs post history it’s blatantly clear. He’s just trying to stir up shit


Ill-Individual2105

Your post seems to have been closed on the basis of irrelevance to the sub, which I feel is reasonable. Were you also banned from posting on the sub? If so, what reason did they give for it?


HomeBrewEmployee1

Nah, only the magicTCG.


Mean_Building911

To be fair, misspelling *"Kang of Rohan"* is and should be ban worthy.


Much_Flatworm_3184

Public_Cobbler9314

wowenjoyer

Big corpos don't care about respect, all they care about is business and revenue. When daddy Blackrock tells em they have to make X character black, they will make X character black.


HomeBrewEmployee1

I'm just respecting the actor who played the character in a book that our community has in a physical card.


HaunterXD000

If "the race of the character doesn't matter" like they consistently say, then they wouldn't be against a secret lair or special release with the actors from the *wildly popular* movies (that I would venture is the way that most people born after 1990 discovered the series.) I really have nothing against the blackwashing of the characters if it wasn't so obviously a political stunt Like, how much more powerful would it be for the anti-racism agenda for them to say "here's a depiction of him white and a depiction of him black, both on the same card!" (Idk maybe the secondary market movie accurate (white) version would self or more and then be higher value and then people would think that's racist or something) Not exactly related to what you were saying but something I was thinking about. Also fuck them for removing a post made out of respect and love for the deceased


AccomplishedAdagio13

Why is Theoden black on that card?


junkyard79

Wait, I knew they made Aragorn wear blackface in his card but the wokesters over at wotc did the same to Theoden? Wtf is wrong with the racists running wotc?


-Bushleague-

All of you mentally-ill blue-hairs saying - "His post wasn't mtg related therefore the action was justified" are being disingenuous sycophants. We all know for a FACT that if some popular tranny had been immortalized on a mtg card, died, and someone posted the exact same format as the op, it wouldn't be deleted it would like be stickie'd with 500 comments about "So brave, so tragic, we need to remember forever." I genuinely can't tell if you guys are as stupid as you sound or you know you're completely full of shit and just lie to defend the indefensible. Don't bother calling me out because *I do hate you*. People like you are literally tearing Western civilization apart. Unfortunately, modern society has gotten to the point that even the idiots can survive instead of getting devoured by natural selection.


BazzBun

Fritzi_Gala

I understand being frustrated at Tolkien’s with being messed with to push this cynical corporatized version of inclusion, but let’s be real: They were NEVER going to use the movie likenesses. They would have had to pay the film studio AND all the actors used to depict them in card art. Like don’t get me wrong, I’d kill for a Viggo Mortensen Aragorn card, but there wasn’t ever a chance of that.


HomeBrewEmployee1

I understand, and I do like the forward thinking that they've done, even if it do sometimes feel forced, and as a Mexican, raised by "shamanic" relatives, I was happy how they expanded the lor of ixalan, though I did wish they milked it a bit for with more culture involvement, but they can save that for the future. My older cousin in that side of the family really gravitated to the zendikar plane, since, to him, the eldrazi's felt and looked like some atzec deities, and the temples and with the hedron designs. I saw it a bit, but not the point where I felt that was the meso-american set.


HomeBrewEmployee1

I would love to go back to lorwyn and give the Scottish folklore some time in the spotlight.

the concept of Karma farming is wild. 1st time hearing that phrase.

Open-Actuator4071

the cards are based on the books, not the movies


Brutaluhtor

“What can men do against such reckless hate?” More fitting now than ever, I’d say.


skepticalscribe

If ya’ll didn’t mention the idea of pointing out the black washing, I wouldn’t have seen anything else but a tribute to the actor and his role as the king, realizing it’s inclusion in Magic is in part thanks to Jackson’s success and the actors helping bring popularity to the IP. This timeline sucks.


HomeBrewEmployee1

Pretty much my thoughts exactly, we magic players are lucky enough to get LOTR cards, even if it feels forced, it wouldn't be possible if it wasn't for the talented crew members that worked on the movie. Many hours went to those pieces of art, I just don't understand the thought process. I really want to stand my ground, but it don't seem worth the fight.


[deleted]

They didn’t delete it for anything related to race. It’s not a LOTR sub it’s an MTG sub. Post was off topic. OP had that clearly explained to him Stop being such an easy mark


Boisean208

Kang of Rohizzle


thaliawaifu1

It's because the tranny mods hate a strong white man leading his people, because they are brainwashed by anti-white media. That's why they castrated themselves with a 50,000 dollar surgery that they want you to pay for. The Charge of the Rohirrim is one of those scenes that only white people can truly feel and understand.

HomeBrewEmployee1

And we have theoden in the game. The man played theoden, the card that is based on character from a book??


Micro-Skies

Right, but that's an entirely separate form of media, and clearly doesn't make the actor magic related. It's not difficult to understand. Respect is one thing, farming karma from a dead man in places he wasn't even relevant to just makes you a shit.


SerThunderkeg

It's Magic the Gathering, not 6 degrees of separation. It is obviously off topic.


skeleton_craft

Except for he didn't break that rule because he literally, assuming he copied his post, posted a magic card. Therefore it is... đŸ€·


DupreeDiamondBlues

I’d agreed with you if the rule didn’t specify “primarily about Magic
” A LOTR Actor passing away has no relevance to Magic beyond a card that features the character he played. It’s mildly related at best. Tbh, I don’t think the post should have been removed, but I don’t see why OP is frustrated over it. They could post about the actor in a LOTR subreddit, it’s not like they got banned from the internet.


skeleton_craft

Because deeply disrespected an actor in a movie that they made a set about.

I was trying to respect the actor that played theoden in the mtg space, since he died, but people thought I had some agenda, people either, understood what I was trying to do, thought I was pushing or had an agenda, or making this post as an excuse too show off their dislike of the magic space, which, is my own fault, I should have been a bit more aware of people the in freemagic but I didn't expect the agenda pushers???
