Political correctness keeps finding new old, trivial things to retroactively demonize as "racist." At this rate, because one person maybe offended somewhere, all art must be destroyed, and making or possessing art will be punishable by death. "No singing either! Burn the racist heretic!" Has anyone ever surveyed actual gypsies to ask them if they find art in a card game fictional universe to negatively portray them?

Meanwhile, what are the same busybody zealots doing about grotesque socioeconomic apartheid (including criminal justice, disproportionately incarcerating precious minority brothers and sisters for a little weed), neocolonial pan-militarism, inverted totalitarian klepto-plutocracy corruption of democracies by rent-seeking, feudal billionaires, or the origins and prevalence of all types of mass shootings in the US? No, the Redskins need to change their name right now because reasons. [0]

People need to take a stand to reinforce that the social contract is implicit and doesn't need someone else's arbitrary Code of Conduct pseudo-legalese foisted onto every group or else you're somehow signaling that you're a terrible bigot because you don't do what others demand immediately. Oh, and apologize now, tomorrow, and the day after.. and defenestrate your worthless self properly or else!

I don't think it's about a single person being wildly offended or something, rather it's an internal decision by WOTC to about remove unnecessary references to what are easily taken as or explicitly are hateful depictions of groups of people. I don't think this is really any different than removing Confederate statues from public venues.

I'm not entirely convinced that these highly-debatable "micro-aggression" corporate PR articles coming out are written in good faith. There is obvious, systemic aggression occurring. Articles like these seem to be planted to create comments like yours, which detract from the real issue at hand.
