sorry to interrupt the Kendrick & Drake beef, but
@MBTYuGiOh
& I been sitting on this one, ready to take the throne of “why are they doin this?”
“Judge Call” is live NOW!
i have now seen 2 yugitubers mad that intentional misgendering (transphobia) is officially not allowed at yugioh events. pretty weirdchamp take that their first thought is that they will be punished for accidentally not knowing. like. c'mon. that's not what it says & you know it.
it can be simultaneously true that:
•yugioh’s barrier of entry is one of the least welcoming to new players in existence
•some new players misrepresent the game based off a bad experience that results from:
not knowing the game/having expectations from the playground days
Hand trap idea: (Quick Effect) Once per turn, if your opponent activates a monster effect more than once, you can denounce Yu-Gi-Oh & exit the room after saying "See, this is why I stopped playing in 2009"
I get the feeling that the ppl who "don't see why Yu-Gi-Oh should be slightly more accessible (cheaper)" are the same ppl that have already invested thousands into the game. Kinda similar to the "I had to pay MY student loans off, so no one should get them forgiven." mentality
yugioh players: “ugh all decks are solitaire now. I miss interactive games.”
also yugioh players: “woah woah woah buddy it’s MY turn.”
also yugioh players: “I hate losing to big blowout cards. It’s unfun.”
also yugioh players: “need big blowout card back, lost to labyrinth.”
If wanting Master Duel to have:
•Cardpool more recent than 6 months ago
•FTK's dealt with using regular banlist
•Duel Pass that lasts longer
•Updated/tweaked rank system & matchmaking
is being whiny then call me the biggest peepeepoopoo baby of them all cuz I want all that
A huge part of my routine as a yugioh player & content creator is waking up, not abusing my partner, brushing my teeth, brew a pot of coffee, not abusing my partner, grabbing the oat milk,
"You're telling me reprints lower the cost of necessary game pieces?? That's very unfair, as I had to pay full price for max rarity. Everyone else should have to as well. Don't play Yu-Gi-Oh if you can't handle necessary game pieces costing more than a car."
-Tucker Carlson
My hot Yugioh take is that sacky blowout cards and floodgates actually have a place in the game. Sure they're annoying as hell, but personally I think a stolen win here and there keeps things chaotic and exciting. Plus it's not like we're playing for money or anything anyway LMAO
Shame on anyone who has been so dramatic as to say that Pokemon Scarlet/Violet are unplayable or whatever. I'm having the time of my life. Yes there are flaws & yes I hunger for a more graphically impressive game like any of us, but at the end of the day: gameplay is
#1
& it's 🔥
I think the biggest mistake when it comes to Yu-Gi-Oh community drama & taking shots at other creators is that it's not done in the form of diss tracks NEARLY enough. I'm disappointed in you all.
"Dad, where do babies come from?"
"Well, you see, when two people that are on the same level love each other very much, they build what's called the 'Overlay Network'..."
We at Konami are so excited to introduce Master Rule 6! You've seen "Attack" position. You've seen "Defense" position. And now, INTRODUCING: "You're fired from this" position. This is a work email. See me in my office, Greg. Yes, it's about playing Yu-Gi-Oh online at work.
Excited to see Triple Tactic not only warp the game of Yu-Gi-Oh, but also widen the gap even further between budget & non-budget players when it's a short printed secret
My students speak as if talking to a chat on Twitch constantly. Told a student that they did a good job. They responded with “Are they spamming W’s in chat?” I said yes followed by lightly feigning to be unfamiliar with Twitch to avoid any suspicion of having an online presence
got the call. i am now a high school art teacher. a few more HR hoops to jump through, but I am essentially hired. excited to not interview again for the foreseeable future & teach with materials beyond crayons. thank u all for listening to me complain about interviews
"Wait so why did you ban me, Konami?"
"You're a public figure, we hold you to a higher standard."
"Totally understandable. Are there any privileges with being a public figure, such as minimally closer communication with you?"
"Nope. Just consequences."

I know I could never be a pro yugioh player. These people walk out of a day of playing yugioh for 14 hours, running on a single bottle of water + a granola bar as fuel, win 10 matches but lose 1 & be like "Yeah, my head just wasn't in it, hopefully I don't suck next time."
Does Vanguard have too much horny art? Probably. Does Yu-Gi-Oh have too many grown adults horny for card art of clearly underage, child-like characters? Definitely.
i love the playstyle of the traprix deck, but i do not like the artwork at all, & feel extremely uncomfortable with it. am i allowed to draw little tuxedos on these & they still remain tournament legal?
*Master Duel has minor update, improves by like 5.8%*
Those who critique Master Duel & don't just gobble up every product Konami releases: "Oh nice. Looks cool. Hope it continues to improve, like we said."
Konami Gobblers: "OH WHERE YOU AT NOW HATERS??"
Hey. Relax.
(1/2)Idk how to say this bc I don't wanna be seen as someone who starts drama, comes after ppl, etc. Not ever my goal. BUT Andrew Tate's views on women (among other topics) are wrong & harmful. I'm extremely disappointed if you support the man, find him funny, etc. He's cringe.
I fr haven't even played Yu-Gi-Oh in months minus one hangout w friends. Are the Egyptian God Cards still banned from all official tournaments due to their overwhelming power and scarcity?
I got my Twitch account suspended for 14 days for saying "I actually invented reverse racism (down with the whites)" in MBT's Twitch chat. Be careful out there, everyone (not you, whiteys)
I'm so sorry to those who looked up to the man who thought breaking the matrix was participating in human trafficking, misogyny, & being rich. I understand it's so hard to find role models out there who say revolutionary things like "believe in yourself," & "I have many Bugatti"
Andrew Tate’s video in response to Greta Thunberg allowed Romanian authorities to confirm he was in the country, and arrest him in human trafficking investigation, due to the pizza chain shown in the 2-minute rant.
And her community has the audacity to be like "I don't think Jada ACTUALLY meant harm though, she was just frustrated, and what she really meant was..."
Feel that wool dangling over your eyes yet or?
I don’t really understand the argument for prices to be expensive? Like other than d**k riding big company for some reason, why is this a “debate?” Who out there is like “No no, I enjoy $400 playsets of necessary game pieces. It SHOULD be that way?”
the “transitional twenties” (age like 24-26) often trick people into feeling like a failure if they haven’t found a partner, landed a dream job, purchased a home, & started a family. you do not need to reach the “finish line” by 25 & it’s okay if you’re still figuring it out then
•“Because yugioh has been expensive in the past but we managed to not eat & get our cards.”
•“Pffftttt try Warhammer or (insert other apples to oranges comparison about other expensive game).”
These are not good reasons for the game to continue to be expensive/anti-consumer.
If you're an abuser, I don't think you should be propped up on a platform bc you're good at a card game & it's uncomfortable to hold you accountable. Shrugging off (but not denying) abuse allegations, & following up with "anyway stay tuned for more deck profiles" also isn't it.
LET'S GOOOOO 1 MILLION VIEWS this video made $13 so my hope of ever doing this full time is slowly diminishing oh my god wow is that really ANYWAY SO COOL THO LET'S GOOOOOOO
Master Duel Tip: It's good to pee before you sit down to play. This actually ensures that your focus will be on the duel & not on the flaring pain in your bladder & your mind at the realization of how much of a moron you are for thinking this would be "just a quick little duel."
OK, here's the fuckin' thread.
There's not wiggle room on this. Sam's post details behavior that's clearly abuse. Leblanc's post doesn't deny it. She deserves to be believed.
Another groomer in Yu-Gi-Oh. Not sharing to spark any more about previous Jada drama tbh, I don't think we need to re-hash, but please be aware of this person being a predator. Stay safe, & know that if you've been exploited/abused, it's never your fault.

@5thRateDuelist
To be fair, you probably got this tweet from someone else.when i see misogynists, those people had no mind for creating an intelligent thought. They just copied others or asked for another misogynist to build them a tweet
I'm disappointed in most people's roasts. In the future, here are some ways to dunk on me better. It's all RIGHT there:
-makes the same video every day (mfw yugioh card)
-looks like a soyjak redditor
-virtue chaser (physically CANNOT shut up about anything)
-cringe rapper
-white
Last thing I'm saying about today's "incident" & a certain archetype. These things can be true at the same time:
1. You can enjoy Traptrix simply because
2. I don't--nor should anyone--think you're a pedo just for playing the deck
3. Nude kid art should probably not be a thing
I had so much fun happy times being present at the Yu-Gi-Oh game in Charles, North Hampshire, wow it was such an honor to meet all these wonderful Yubytubies
hm. truly afraid to sound non-ironically “can’t believe woke ruined another thing” BUT isn’t Sokka’s whole character development about being an idiot stuck in inherently sexist traditions & realizing how wrong this is after seeing the world & growing up?
Netflix's live-action "Avatar: The Last Airbender" series is toning down the sexism.
"We took out the element of how sexist [Sokka] was. I feel like there were a lot of moments in the original show that were iffy," says Kiawentiio (Katara).
“Yeah, totally,” adds Ian Ousley
