MaRo: "I beg for you to try and see life through other people’s perspectives."

Except there's a difference between people "hating, fearing, and attempting to exclude people" and people saying "stop worrying about which characters are gay, and instead start making sets better".

And it's rather frustrating when Maro says things like:

"When you’ve lived your life in the majority, it’s easy to take it for granted that you see yourself represented in the products and entertainment you use."

Really Maro? How do you know the person who asked that question "lives their life in the majority" and "takes representation for granted"? You don't know their background, so making assumptions and basically saying "no minority group would ever question our choices" is incredibly insulting imo. Some of us who are clearly outside of that majority still find this sort of pandering unbelievably annoying and pointlessly stupid.

I don't care about diversity in my fucking card game. I care about playing a good card game. While those things aren't mutually exclusive, it feels like WotC cares about one aspect way more than the other at times.
