Title: Hands
Post by: IsotropicWasBetter on January 23, 2015, 03:34:31 pm
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.

Also offensive to handless people.  And yet broadcast on national TV!!!

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!)
Title: Re: Hands
Post by: Donald X. on January 26, 2015, 04:52:57 am
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'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.

Sometimes I wave to people I don't know. It's very dangerous to wave to someone you don't know because, what if they don't have a hand? They'll think you're cocky. "Look what I got, motherfucker! This thing is useful. I'm gonna go pick something up!" (http://youtu.be/L8yP_3ZEMdg?t=13m43s)

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 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?

Because the space on the card is limited?  Donald has covered this elsewhere.

Although you could commission additional art for the cards that need this phrase:

Hang on, you are losing grip on the thread topic. We are holding a pun contest, but most people's takes on the subject are really grasping at straws.

Or else it's just a huge middle finger to handless people.

That is Poe's law in action. I couldn't tell whether you were or whether you thought I wasn't (which would also be Poe's law in action :P). I think if you'd embedded the image you would've gotten your respect. Like so:

If you're illiterate then you're not going to come on here to see the posts you cannot understand. However, if you have no hands, you may still want to play Dominion.

Also, I added a poll.


As an illiterate, I find this highly offensive.
