Thread 150772403

Yep, figured it'd be like this.

>>150772403 (OP)
I don't get it.

Are you just talking about her being black, or is your point about something else like the effect?

>>150772510
NTA but the fact theyve changed another ginger into a black women with dyed hair is a bit weird.

Raph has two Jittes.

All the cards revealed so far.

>>150772701
WotC apparently decided that it was racist for Japanese people to have Okinawa and Ryuku weapons... So Raph gets jittes and Mikey keeps his nunchaku anyways because they're a bunch of performative faggots.

There are no words to descibe how much I want the people at WotC to lose everything and have to suck off trannies under a bridge just to get a nickle.

They're also ninjas.
Protip: don't take an anon's wording as gospel

>>150772557
Every executive in western media hates pale skin, ginger goddesses. It's like the antithesis to their being.

>>150772403 (OP)
I like how people said April wouldn't be permanently black in all future content because "iterations exist and she'll be white later" as if backtracking wouldn't make them look really bad. Now she's black in the Naruto crossover comic and this is a new black design also.

>>150772403 (OP)
I mean, it's not surprising since they made Aragorn black, but god damn that hacktivist shit is cringe.

>>150772790
Actually, the plural of ninja is ninja.

>>150772815
>since they made Aragorn black
LotR made Aragorn black*

>>150772813

>>150772403 (OP)
There was already a TMNT TCG back in the 00s that was good and had hot '03 April

>>150772825
that is fantastic, thank you so much for informing us all.

>>150772813
Once these scum bags have the excuse to race swap a character, they will NEVER let it go. It doesnt matter if the excuse was complete bullshit, they'll stick to it like bad cologne to a persian.

>>150772849
do you not understand how licenses work

>>150772862
>Once these scum bags have the excuse to race swap a character, they will NEVER let it go.
????
Aragorn has been race swapped twice with a white one inbetween, what the fuck are you talking about

>>150772863
Clearly you don't, and even less of how the Tolkien Estate handles its IP. lmao

>>150772863
It was literally WotC that said they didn't feel like they were doing anything special with LotR so they decided to make Aragorn black. It was 100% their decision to force that on every card that featured him.

>>150772853
P H E W. They don't make 'em like that anymore.

You guys are all stupid for freaking out about the April card, we already know the cards are going to pull from multiple Turtles series. There will be multiple April cards. Chill the fuck out.

>>150772788
It's a shame.
The WotC of yesterday was responsible for some of the most beloved nerdy pastimes in recent history.
The WotC of today is a bunch of faggots taking those beloved things and trying their best to corrupt them in any way possible.
The only reason D&D survives is because groups only truly need source book from WotC and nothing else. Dice and character sheets and minis they can get anywhere, and they can put in all the Mexican orcs and combat wheelchairs they want, but most groups will just choose to ignore that shit and keep playing what they know.

>>150772890
>so they decided to make Aragorn black.
so they decided to ask LotR if they could make Aragorn black*

>>150772859
If you're being sarcastic, then congratulations on probably feeling the intended emotion.

>>150772924
Again, not how that works.

>>150772905
It looks like shit. If you're gonna make April black, don't give her red hair. And don't make her a "Hacktivist." Young and Old people find that term cringe as hell.

>>150772936
That's LITERALLY how it works.

>>150772931
upvoted

>>150772905
example

>>150772813

April being a nigger is going to literally ruin the entire TMNT franchise. She was a hot pale redhead, any version of her is revolting to the tmnt autists. This is a very weird hill to die on

>>150772813
Considering she's still white in other forms of entertainment like Fortnite, TMNT's still kinda schizo when it comes to how it's represented.

>>150772970
then why didnt they lead with the ginger april in her yellow jumpsuit that THEY KNOW would more than likely sell more/create hype
thats not a "HUH YE GOTCHA" THING i am genuinely asking

>>150773000
>THEY KNOW
Because they know niggerfying April will cause an uproar and bring more attention to the material than normal April would, while also getting to grandstand in front of everybody about how they're a champion of diversity.

>>150772970
>>150773000
There will not be another April. They are having this be an "original setting." There will be black-and-white "comic treatment" special versions of certain cards (we only saw Leo so far).

>>150773049
id like to think WOTC isnt that petty, but maybe they are. i havent cared about it for about 12 years.

>>150772970
I mean, that one is literally named after the multiverse crossover special, so obviously it's got different versions of them there.

>>150772701
Gotta admit I'm a little surprised he's mono red. I would've thought red/black.

>>150772954
They literally do not have to pass every single minor decision by the license holder.

>>150772882
If you want me to understand what retarded ideas pop into that massive cavern you call a brainz you actually have to provide context to it dumbass. If you're refering to the human shaped skid marks people have assured me ae are in fact Professor Tolkiens grandchildern, they don't give one shit how someone bastardizes their grandfathers legacy as long as they get some dosh. It doesnt matter what a card made by some political activist shows, the original text was quite clear that he was just tanned and swarthy, clearly because he made his living as a Strider. The choice to make him black was not a harmless artisic choice, as you would clearly like everyone to believe. It was made because WotC is ideologically captured and race swapping is a signal that they follow the right politics. Hopefully in the near future, all the artists, writers and producers at WotC all get caught in a massive fire and burn alive and hopefully you get caught by a wild crack addict who saws your head off from the back.

Why does she look like live action Starfire?

They are petty enough to send Pinkertons to the home of one of their supporters and rough em up over a mistake Wizards made.

>>150773117
This and that assumes those wretched money grabbing shits care about anything that defiles their grandfather's work. None of this would have happened if Chris was still kicking.

>>150773171
What?

>>150772403 (OP)
So is this yet another thread where /co/ likes to pretend that TMNT is somehow NOT a franchise that is 90% loved by fat gay dorky women who only ever want to see race swaps and fat ugly women characters? It's been like this for years now.

>>150773171
>They are petty enough to send Pinkertons
i only know its the best weezer album.

>>150772905
They're going to make her black in all of them.

https://www.dicebreaker.com/categories/trading-card-game/news/magic-the-gathering-aftermath-youtube-prompts-pinkerton-investigation

>Magic: The Gathering publisher Wizards of the Coast reportedly sent Pinkerton private investigators to a YouTube creator’s house last week to retrieve mistakenly sold cards from an unreleased set. In doing so, the massive company upset the creator’s home, allegedly harassed neighbours and spawned a wave of criticism from the tabletop community and beyond.
>In a video explainer published April 22nd, Cannon claims the agents threatened jail time, huge fines and other repercussions if he didn’t relinquish the “stolen product”, which reportedly upset his wife to the point of tears. The creator said that he purchased the boxes from an acquaintance who did not realise March of the Machine: The Aftermath was a substantively different MTG product from the recently released March of the Machine set. The Pinkertons took everything, including tokens and packaging, before giving him the number for a Wizards of the Coast employee.

>>150773261
Not just destroyed, about ten years ago danger hair lesbians really latched onto TMNT in a huge way until they became the main part of the fanbase. This new set is made entirely for them, the current fans of the franchise.

Well, it's not like we didn't see it coming.
That being said, the fact that these giga faggots are STILL trying to make black April a thing is just the shitty icing on top of the dumpster fire cake that is MtG at this point. We're gettting two fucking sets set on the plane of "New York City" this year, with the last one giving us a fucking pidgeon and a bagel as cards. That's not even touching on the absolute state of main setting these days being an abhorrent mashup of the most disgustingly millennial tropes and characters thrown into whatever faggoty take on a given setting they can come up with.
>Lol, what if we threw all these magical character into the old west?
>What if we put them all into whacky races!
This shit is so fucking bad now, they frankly deserve everything that's coming to them. I hope Mark Rosewater winds up blowing trannies under an overpass for nickels in the end.

>>150773234
So this is yet another post where a faggot likes to pretend these trannies barely make up a single digit of the percentage of the total fandom yet are allowed to run rampant running the franchise cause the execs cant be bothered and the HR hags agree with their politics 100 percent.

>>150773315
You're not the target audience anymore anon, haven't been for a few decades.

>>150773373
This is simply fucking wrong. Everyone I know who plays the game things this is retarded.
t. zoomer

>>150773373
Same here but I aint gonna pretend these shemales outnumber us for love of the series. If they did Rise and Mutant Mayhem wouldn't have been the specacular flops they are.

>>150773313
Don't forget they are letting their shitty crossover cards be part of actual competitive play.

>>150773420
Different anon here, but I don't think you understand what target audience means. Or you just missed the word target.

>>150773373
People with taste were the target audience until around 2016 (probably even earlier) before WotC leaned hard into social just shit. Of course, we all already know this, you're literally just bullshitting to try and demoralize everyone and maintain cultural control for just a little while longer.
I'm afraid we already created the hill. No one is going to listen to your shit anymore faggot, and I can't wait to watch you wither away to utter irrelevance

>>150773373
That's why comics are failing as a medium. Males aged 13-30 are the cash spending demographic, looking for fiction to immerse themselves in and be loyal to. Loser activists don't buy products, just screech until they get their way.

>>150773479
I don't think you realize that you are no longer a part of the narrative.
Companies producing media and content very clearly do not like you, and they do not want you. Being angry and bitchy about it does not make you any more attractive either and makes everyone think that they made a wise decision writing you off.

>>150773176
Other anon is acting like the Tolkien estate is overseen by people who love and respect LotR and not the kind of soulless retarded faggots who okayed and allowed Rings of Power to happen twice.

>>150772970
I really tired of these black & white color "Prime Turtles". Where is all-red Mirage Turtles?

>>150773510
Is that why they're all starting to change course and cancel leftoid projects as they consistently fail?

>>150773510
And the execs wonder why they can't turn a profit anymore.

>>150773541
Other Anon knows that he's being a shit bag and just trying o get a rise out of people. He's being a pedantic. Little shit heel because acting like one get him the precious (You)s he literally can't live without.

>>150773578
Don't get it twisted anon, they're going to throw us a few crumbs and then act like they totally changed their ways. They still love social engineering and will keep doing the same shit they always have, just try and keep on the down low rather than scream at you with a bullhorn. Stay vigilant.

>>150772701
Why not give Raph a oni mask instead of durag?

>>150773621
Well by all means, put on a MAGA hat and then make a lot of edgy Hitler jokes over and over again. That will definitely make you look really attractive to media companies and make them want to cater to your demographic again!

>>150772772
The funny thing about the durag: they saw that Raph was impulsive, violent, and emotional, and thought that him being black-coded would be a good fit for that sort of personality

>>150773642
Because they couldnt virtue signal about how one or all the turles are "black coded"

>>150773373
The stock excuse for bad decisions that only appeal to people who won't spend money on the products pandering to them.

>>150773633
I don't necessarily doubt that, but it is definitely fun to watch the commies who got use to getting pandered to suddenly finding themselves without their precious corporate backing

>>150773645
Nice strawman
Did you "girlfriend" make it for you?

Adorkable

>>150772772
Have we gotten to where it's against the rules for a Japanese immigrant to want to train his adopted children in his traditional lifestyle and philosophy? Are WotC anti-adoption now?

>>150773853
They told us why in their own words, here:
>>150772850

>>150773199
A couple years back there was the set called March of the Machine, and a much smaller, yet-unreleased sequel set called March of the Machine: Aftermath. Some Youtuber ordered a box of MotM boosters from Amazon and Amazon mistaken sent him stockpiled MotM:A boosters instead, well before their street date or even full set reveal. Said Youtube obviously went online with "oh shit, check this out" and Wizards, in some supremely stupid decision making, decided to hire the goddamn Pinkertons (know commonly known about thanks to video games) to harrass the guy and his wife.

>>150773883
Yeah, I ain't giving them views.

>>150772850
I said WORDING, you idiot.

>>150773869
>whatever
I'm starting to think you might not actually know as much about this game as you claim to.
I know that slivers are a type. That's not any of the words you said.

>>150772403 (OP)
i don't know much or care about turtle lore. why is ariel on a card?

>>150773911
Just explain your point, or whatever you were trying to say.
There's a reason I replied with a dumb pedantic correction in >>150772825 because it sounded like you were just stating something obvious and irrelevant to my original point, which was really just another correction because turtles from New York aren't the same as "Japanese people" and I thought I'd point that out, and maybe get a response that clarified the actual point if there was one that I just missed.

This shit exists purely because of the old Mistform Ultimus joke.

>>150773743
I've seen multiple people now aggressively defending that those cards aren't AI art and they're just digital paintings by a guy who does digital paintings that looks nothing like that, and whose art has never been so muddy, awkward, or so borderline AI-like as those cards very much are.

WotC put a real artist's name on very obviously AI placeholder art.

>>150772403 (OP)
Ironic that they would stick an attractive Black version of April on a card most people won't see.

>>150773963
That isn't Ariel you retard.

>>150774001
Its amazing how manything start out as jokes which are then latched onto by SJWs and made entirely seriously. Iceman will always be my go to example.

>>150774025

Yeah, no. She is thoroughly mid. And none of that changes the fact she shouldnt be black to begin with.

>>150774079

I guess do they not still do the way we got the modern workweek and the strike breaking that happened? Pinkertons historically were all over that, you'd usually encounter them through that or the founding of the FBI.

I believe I stopped collecting MTG sometime around saviors of kamigawa.

Nope. Lore has been bad for nearly a decade with the jacetice league and when WoTC made a universe beyond set (non Wizards property sets) it outsold any set in years by a large margin. so now they're starting have a large chunk of UB sets every year

They all should be mono black or black/??? because they're ninjas.

Raph: mono black

april was black once in the comic. they changed her around. I prefer her a ginger reporter, and not a hacker or psychic mutant, but if youre going to revert her back to black then make her hot. being a fat nerd is the worst thing

>>150772557
Honestly haven't they been race swapping April longer than her being white at this point? I'm not even saying it's right or anything. But I honestly feel like there are more especially recent depictions of April being a black girl that I can't even remember the last time she was white. Goes to show it worked on me at least. The first one was the best don't get me wrong, but the black character has more or less taken the place all according to plan.

She was NEVER black in the comic. Remember that the Jheri curls are just a new haircut for her, not her natural hair.

>>150776751
That makes it worse

>>150776818
this version was based on a bi-racial woman
so she's half black

>>150772862
Catwoman is black in all side media now.
Nick Fury is completely solidified as a black guy now.

But I don't know if it sticking too much elsewhere. They kind of try with Ariel and Jimmy Olsen.

>>150776818
We all thought she was interracial back then. And didn't care. We also didn't care when she was a white redhead later.

>>150777483
>so she's half black
Not really true either since even Kevin pointed out that April was only named after April Fisher, and didn't start looking exactly like her until issues later. It makes sense considering Peter was the one who created April's original design, and her being a white chick was pretty much settled on when issue #2 was being made.

Never happened. One colorist, without input from Eastman, Laird, or anyone else, fucked up a isngle issue and they changed it in all future prints.

Her parents are both white and that version is later revealed to be a drawing brought to life with magic. Your are not a TMNT fan at all if you repeat this "april was actually black/bi-racial" shit
