This is a huge part of why so many people think we're in the middle of a widespread "anti-woke backlash": Small movements opposed to social progress are collected into trend stories by conservative media. Far larger movements that want more diversity are ignored or cast as threats.
"Woke is ruining D&D". Meanwhile Dimension 20, one of the wokest real play shows around, just sold out Madison Square Garden and the Hollywood Bowl for live shows and brings armies of new players to RPGs.

If you have a product that people love and want to use... you do not have to do that. Like, when the iPhone came out, your Mac wasn't constantly saying to you, 'Hey, have you tried sending emails on your iPhone???'

So we still haven't managed another 7-win run, but this was a very fun 5-win Jeskai, run ended by Elite Spellbinder making my planeswalkers unaffordable (yes it was Boros) #mtgarena

3-3 and 4-3 playing 5-colour pile and mono-green respectively during which I lost to Boros a lot. Sensing a theme.
