But why do they love Ashiok so much? I don't get it. Is it just because she's a woman? Or is it some other shit?

Ashiok doesn't care for binary gender. That's why tumblr loves Ashiok.

Speaking as someone living in a modern United States metro with a population of about 850,000 people, I only met one black person growing up. Most people were Japs or whites.

Would you expect black people in 18th-century Germany to be a noticeable minority of the population, or would you expect rare exceptions that probably won't show up in card art except as nameless background characters? Or would you expect those exceptions to be so exceptional that they are, by default, heroes of one sort or another?

She's clan leader of the Mardu and deserves respect as much as Zurgo or Surrak. Clean up your act.

This shit is why 12 year olds now believe mental illness is not only okay, but should be celebrated.

>>43455917
Yeah. Girl in Mardu Runemark's art probably isn't her, though. No way a trap without access to hormones could get those tits.

So none then?

Post time fuckery the originals were cleansed from history and the present ones are pretty much nobodies outside of Narset.

Everyone complains about Alesha, but they forget that Wizards immediately killed her off. She's now been dead for 1000 years in the current time period.

>>43456013
The thing I just read on wizards' site said, word for word "boy who thinks he's a girl"

Magic.

And those SJWs would still complain that because it's fantasy it MUST reflect our real world values of diversity, because it would take conscious decisions to not do so and thus be inherently racist if it doesn't.
>>
>>43456063
That's just a function of the time travel plot though. Not like they had her brutally murdered or anything.
>>
>>43456097

Weren't all of the original khans brutally murdered? I know Bananaman was killed and made into a necklace.
>>
>>43456097
Except that's exactly what happened. Thanks to Sarkhan's meddling, the dragons learned of the khans' plot to kill them and attacked their meeting killing all of them.
>>
>>43456041
It could just be the armor, though. Not like boobplate hasn't been a thing before in magic art.
>>

Still a function of the time travel/dragon dildos/Sarkhan did NOTHING WRONG plot.

>>43456139
>>43456136
Bananas and jeskai guy both got killed. The others survived that attack and went out and negotiated in whatever way worked out.

>>43456139
Sarkhan was gone by the time that all happened. IIRC, it was actually Tasigur that tipped them off, since he was already allied with Silumgar. He ended up zombied later.

I got him and a butcher of the horde at the khans prerelease. I won that prerelease.

>>43456062
Did you just say that Surrak is a nobody? When he has the respect of his dragonlord and is pretty much second in command?

She's actually not specifically autistic. She's just not ~normal~. An autistic person was the first one to ask, but subsequent comments by Wizards employees have also mentioned Attention Deficit.

Are people really still whining about blacks appearing in Theros? It's a whole plane, not one small section if our Earth. If humans on Theros are anything like humans on Earth they will be adapted to their surroundings, which means in some regions people will have darker pigmentation than in others.

It's not like the RL Greeks never came into contact with dark skinned people.

They can't wrap their heads around the idea that a plane could be large enough to encompass an area the size of the entire Mediterranean
Planes have to be small places with only white people. I bet they wouldn't bat an eye if vikings showed up in Theros.

I have no issues with anything they have done, the only really annyoing thing is how you can not call man lands, man lands anymore but creature lands.

The Man in manland is surely keeping the females away from FNM, not the hordes of unwashed apes, sure thing guys ;^)
>>
>>43460882
To be fair, "the plane is just one big city" is one of the most popular planes of all time. Unless we're talking a planet-sized Fantasy Coruscant, which wouldn't make sense in the slightest, there's a good reason people keep thinking planes are unrealistically small if one of the most popular planes is a tiny-ass nothing.
>>
>>43461252
Still, getting bent out of shape because wizards had the nerve to include black people and characters that are not straight in a setting is pretty ridiculous. It's like they're all so insecure that seeing someone different than them makes them feel inferior.

Ravnica is massive though. Coruscant is an apt comparison. It's a city the size of Earth that goes as far down as it does up.
