For cards that reference hands, what do you do if you have no hands?
For instance, if I trash a fortress, where would I put it?

You always have a hand, even if you have no cards in your hand or no hand to hold your hand with.

This language seems pretty discriminatory to people without hands.

I strongly disagree, his language is specifically inclusive of those without hands!

This may belong in RSP.  It is reminiscent of the Charlie Hebdo thread (aka DG's Avatar).

No but the very name "hand" just assumes that everyone holds their hand in their hand, which is extremely insensitive to people who cannot do that because they don't have hands.

Your post is insensitive to illiterate people.

So's mine, but at least I mean it.

I nearly qualify for this, although I still have my right hand so not quite an expert. (Oh and i'm not offended, unless there is possibly money in it, then I can get offended reaaaal quick!)

Also, I added a poll.
But your poll asks the wrong question. The real question is, was anyone here actually offended? Let's have a show of hands.

I've got to hand it to you, you're handling the issue in quite the underhanded way.

I'm sorry if this seems ham-fisted, but I'm not going to pull my punches. Thumbing through this thread, I'm stumped by some of your attitudes. Not to point any fingers but this is a slap in the face to those with a serious problem. I think this is the real issue at hand.

The poll strongly suggests that #IsowasBetter.

I mean, not one person voted for #gokowasbetter. That's pretty conclusive.

I'm offended by that picture.

On the other hand, being offended by that picture is offensive to those people who clearly have at least one hand.

When did all the Social Justice Warriors decide to join F.DS? This all seems like in layman's terms, an edge case.

Also, I'm about to offend everybody. Ready?

Goko is better.

I've been here since day 2.

Obviously this thread is just about silliness though.

I am offended that you are dismissing my entirely serious complaint against Dominion's terminology. Donald X. is clearly just displaying his handed privilege through his constant use of the word "hand." Why not use "the collection of cards formerly known as hand" for example?
