If You Don't Like JD Vance, It's Because He Played Magic: The Gathering

Ironically Jeremy the Quarterpounder used to be a Magic the Gathering youtuber, that game draws the worst people.

seems a bit broad. a bunch of my leftist friends are  also mtg players. my local shop is unionized, raises money for Palestine, and has cool trans folks on staff.

That's pretty shocking, based on Jeremy's channel the MTG community seemed adjacent to the warhammer 40k community who are pretty fascist. there was a whole thing about bullying cosplayers and women players out of the community.

oh don’t get me wrong, those people are there lol. but not in any larger proportion than any other nerdy special interest group (video games, metal, gunpla, anime, etc.). i don’t think that any actually like pro mtg players give a shit about those weird reactionary dudes. and I’ve never see any actually good mtg content creators interact with the Quartering haha.

I see, yea it was back in 2015-2016 that I saw MTGHeadquarters (now the Quartering) and he was the biggest channel. I thought it was similar to how Steve Bannon worked with Blizzard to get WoW players into the alt-right pipeline. Good to know the community now isn't like that.
