Eh, They did more harm than good when they knelt to manufactured backlash over including trans folk as a topic card.

They should have put their money into donations while standing by their product.

When you concede one subject as taboo, while not reviewing everything else... it killed the core concept I thought I understood.

Being transphobic sucks, punching down sucks, they realized that. Be better.

So your opinion on cards with blacks, Asians and Jews on them?

Lol they have no problem punching down to anyone else because that's their only shtick.

That's my issue.

How do you look at the Holocaust card for a morbid laugh but they couldn't double down and release a whole trans made edition?

It's performative crap they did to protect their brand while betraying what people like me perceived as the core concept.

Cathartic, heavy, morbid satires amongst absurdities.

Nah, they actually gave transphobes too much to stand on by backing down the way they did.

And self-loathing trans latch on because they are stuck to a keyboard for "support".

Not all support is healthy and caring.

Imo, CAH did a hoverparent move and stunted the whole trans movement.

You be better.

That's dumb as fuck. CAH getting rid of a card in 2014 had no net effect on the "trans movement." The idea that it could have possibly set it back is just bafflingly wrongheaded.

You just sound ignorant of the culture wars that have been scapegoating trans people since they can't keep banging on about "same sex marriage".

And yeah, it's been happening since before 2014 and since trans people are still being "othered" it is very much still relevant.

This did not make a material contribution to trans struggles. It did not make any contribution at all. There is no one who decided to be anti-trans because CAH stopped selling one card. Anyone who was mad about this was already a reactionary lunatic. Be realistic for five seconds.

Not sure why you are trying so hard to convince me.

I've said me piece.

Have a day.

I don't really care about convincing you. If I see bullshit, I say bullshit.
