@@Niv0505 I don't think so. I think it's enough to separate the art from the artist if you don't agree with what she has to say, but like her art. She was booted for liking some edgy people's Twitter, no? That is hardly an endorsement of every thing they have ever said, I can't think of any case for myself that that is true. She shouldn't be judged for whoever's Twitter pages she follows, why is it important anyway? It's not like someone is trawling through some artists Twitter follows unless they were looking for something. She was apparently also accused of being a terf, although she has a live post where she endorses Pride, explicitly including trans people, so I don't really believe that either. So I really can't see any substance to banning her

[@thesoulbearer]

Jace Williamson There really isn't none. She was brought into this negative spotlight by the Burchett incident because, according to that trash, Nielsen disapproved of trans people. I have not seen a single tweet where Nielsen disavows them, nor have I seen her endorsing racism, or any other -ism out there. She liked a couple of tweets and is a conservative. That's all there is to her decommissioning. It's quite unfair, and ridiculous. Here we have a decent human being who creates great art that fans truly love. I guess the new players don't hold her that high and don't care, but us, old school players love her work.

I'd say the vast majority of players are simply unaware of this whole situation and worse yet, I'd say a good portion of the pro-nielsen base are people who don't even play the game but simply follow "cancel culture" stories.

Adam I have seen more of people support Nielsen than people who oppose. I don't know if this is true, but someone on KZbin commented she was given no more commissions for her views. That seems unfair. She's allowed to vote and like whatever she does. It shouldn't even affect her work. I don't know if those complaining are true fans, or they just go with the flow of this cancel culture nonsense. In any case, it seems like censorship, and I don't like that. Just an opinion.

[@Aamodon1]

@@thesoulbearer And its an opinion you can have. But its not censorship, its a customer not choosing to associate with a business whose opinions they don't agree with. They're even still using the Nielsen's art on cards in the new Jumpstart release and she's even confirmed to have cards in return to Zendikar. Lastly, its not a matter of it effecting her work, its a matter of Wizards not wanting to associate with her views, which they have a right to do. Also, I would ask that you see some of the other posts I've made throughout this thread, its not just a matter of Terese "liking" controversial figures, she's also financially supported qanon groups who've pushed racist and anti-semetic conspiracy theories in the past and some of those theories have led to people getting hurt or crimes being committed. I feel like everyone I've responded to in this thread either doesn't understand the full story, doesn't understand the releationship between Wizard's and the artists for their cards or is just so red pilled that arguing with them is like fighting a dying bull, they can't really make a good argument, but fuck if you're gonna be able to move them.

And with Terese, she never talked about politics, or drew political art for Wizards. She likes some accounts that don't allign with some peoples views. (Including mine!, but again, it doesn't matter to me) But it's obvious that she is not a bad person. She makes her art, is happily together with the woman that she loves and she lives her life.

If Terese Nielsen had never done those terrible things she would still have her job! Oh wait she didn't do anything?... well Terese Nielsen never should have said those terrible things! She didn't say anything offensive either? Ummm... well... I guess she never should have watched those terrible youtube videos...

Hasbro: virtue signalling at it's finest.

Man she seems like such a horrible person. Cancel her, CANCEL HER!! SILENCE HER!!! That's sarcasm if you couldn't tell. If we are really cancelling this woman for some of the things she follows on twitter we have truly reached the age of insanity. Time to purchase some of her art before it's seen as "hateful" and burned with the rest of history.

That does it. I am quitting Magic The Gethering. Don't want my wallet to be contributing to these witch hunts. Terese's art is irreplaceable. And for me as a kid what had captivated most about Magic when I first saw it was the art and the fantasy of it all. Terese did it like no other.

Don't agree with her politics but I'll always be a fan. When I was deployed I ordered a print from her. She noticed that I had a deployed address and sent me a personal note thanking me for my service.

[@daltonbrasier5491]

You have never spoken to her, you have no clue what her politics actually are. You only know who she follows on twitter.

Heartbreaking. I can not wait for the day WotC finally shutters from their idiotic decisions. Here's a woman who was massively influential in the success of the game, loved by ACTUAL fans, and clearly loved what she did, and they're like "Nah, fuck off, you liked a tweet." I decided years ago to never give WotC another dime, and every day they prove it to have been a good decision. I started playing Magic in 1994 and that company has lost me forever.

Why was she fired/ removed? Please give the Link to the truth.

[@tyler-c8531]

Its not a 100% official but a art director talked about that she has not been asked to commission art this was mainly due to her following OAN and trump in Twitter. My personal opinion on this is that she doesn't deserve to get fired for her political beliefs shes build this game and she has impacted in big ways and shes such a kind heart and to see wizards do this Is the reason I'm thinking of boycotting.

Imagine getting fired for following the President of the United States, the woke cult hive mind is unbelievable.

[@wiatcheslavsidortsov5235]

WotC had a lot of things gone wrong lately, but both Oko and companion mechanics fade, compared to breaking with Terese because of her retweets or whatever. Cards with her artwork will skyrocket in price now, not because of the politics (which players don't care much for anyway), but because they are now effectively in the reserved list. The premium product.

“Magic is like a dear friend of mine” “You are a right wing transphobic, racist monster die” “What did I do?!” “LIKE CONSPIRACY!” “That set wasn’t that bad…”

You good bruh?

[@ishitrealbad3039]

"most renowned and beloved artists" until they politically don't align with you, kek!?

[@donaldblumpf3260]

Remove target artist from the game. You may activate this ability only when target artist commits wrong-think.

[@plaguedr8831]

Stand against WotC and cancel them from your life like I did.

[@omegacreate]

Congratulations to her and her art and shame on the community for berating an artist for a CCG; which should be beyond political / ideological beliefs
