Okay, serious request. If you (or anyone) sees my ass hanging out of my shorts (it's unlikely since I'm pretty careful about this, belts and long shirts, etc), please subtly let me know so I can fix the problem. Thanks! <3

[–]NinjaTheNick 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

In the same vein, please take a picture of mine. I feel like I deserve it for making you look at my crack.

[–]Parryandrepost 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

Like request: if you ever see me and I sink tell me. I have no sense of smell and will fix it but I need to know.

    Right now it says I'm still banned. I'm assuming (and hoping) that it's because it's not midnight on the west coast.

    Edit: To everyone that looks at my twitter, I view twitter as a complete joke and use it for satire. What I say on it doesn't represent how I feel about anything.

    I wish you the best of luck in convincing your potential* future employers of that.

    I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that he's probably intelligent enough to just say "Oh I don't use twitter" in the interview.

    Companies look you up, anyway.

    [–]PterodactylMan 10ポイント11ポイント  (3子コメント)

    I agree, but there's a lot of ways you can still minimize your detectable online footprint if you want to make the kind of jokes and posts this guy does. I think the whole "just give in companies will look over all your online history and control everything" is just a real unfortunate mental road to go down, just as a personal hangup, so I like pointing out that it's not hopeless.

    [–]mjschul16 4ポイント5ポイント  (0子コメント)

    This is true. Not very relevant to Sid Blair anymore, though, given the fact that this post exists linking his name to his twitter account (if it wasn't already before).

    [–]GarrukApexRedditor 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

    If you choose to minimize your online profile, all that means is that what little does make it out has more influence. And since you're not putting anything out yourself, that means you don't control it.

    The correct approach is to flood the internet with your own content. Or legally change your name to Pope Francis.

    If you're employer asks about your internet usage you're working for the wrong company bud.

    [–]CommiePuddin 1ポイント2ポイント  (5子コメント)

    I don't think it's very wise to pretend that social media is just "on the internet," therefore it doesn't count.

    If you touch any kind of public-facing materials for a company, including and especially their social media accounts, they're going to be interested in your personal social media presence.

    I mean, if you're willing to put pictures of ass cracks on your personal twitter, I'm not going to hire you to do anything related to showing things to my potential customers.

    [–]steamd-rice 0ポイント1ポイント  (4子コメント)

    It's pretty hard to pretend that the peoples veins don't course with FB and bullshit alike. Abstaining from these giant cesspools and actually doing things with your life that YOU yourself can then tell your employer of choice is a far better option. Would you rather revel in stories or show someone you don't give a fuck about a few pictures on your timeline?

    [–]CommiePuddin 1ポイント2ポイント  (3子コメント)

    I'm not sure what you're getting at, but if I'm getting ready to hire someone, I'm going to check up on their social media presence. I need to know how they're going to represent themselves (and me/my product) to my customers, so I'm going to see how they represent themselves to the rest of the world.

    [–]steamd-rice -1ポイント0ポイント  (2子コメント)

    Assuming they have a presence on social media. Given 80% of the population is on it in some way, what do you do when there's nothing to be googled about the person? Reject them?

    [–]GarrukApexRedditor 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

    Pretty much. It's not as if there's a shortage of qualified candidates who have a strong, positive social media presence.

    [–]riotingtom 42ポイント43ポイント  (25子コメント)

    The hero we need, but don't deserve. Do you have any plans for how you get banned next? I really like the fact that I see less asscrack in the mtg world now. Godspeed brother.

    What you should do is point and laugh at them and yell "GET OUT YOU FAT SMELLY PIECE OF SHIT" everywhere you go. It'd be a more honest form of harassment than taking creepshots.

      Wow, this whole thread is like the school bully's dad from an old sitcom.

      "So my boy called your son a fat queer and shoved him down? Good! Maybe that'll teach 'im to be less of a fat queer!"

      [–]riotingtom 15ポイント16ポイント  (9子コメント)

      This isn't about someone being something that they can't help like a "fat queer." Its about people's blatant disregard for others. If your ass crack is hanging out, you can help it, pull your fucking pants up, it takes just a second.

      [–]ScouseSpouse 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

      Its about people's blatant disregard for others.

      Yeah, like the guy who took pictures of those people and posted it online mocking them.

      [–]klapaucius -5ポイント-4ポイント  (7子コメント)

      If you see someone's asscrack hanging out, it takes just a second to tell them to pull it up. You don't make fun of them specifically on the internet.

      [–]riotingtom 8ポイント9ポイント  (4子コメント)

      Its not my responsibility to look at your ass hanging out and help you fix it. What is wrong with you?

      [–]klapaucius 5ポイント6ポイント  (2子コメント)

      You're right. Better take secret photos of them to make fun of on Reddit instead. That's the moral thing to do.

      [–]riotingtom 4ポイント5ポイント  (1子コメント)

      Finally we are on the same page here. Jeez

      [–]AttemptedRationalism 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

      This still seems analogous to taking close-up pictures of someone's cleavage (no joke intended here) and posting them online without their consent. I don't think "public visibility" is a strong defense for taking part of someone's anatomy that they don't wish to have people focused on and sharing it in such a way with large amounts of people online. I don't know if any of the people in these photos have come forward, but I could imagine they might have gone through some amount of social torment over it, and we do live in a day and age where young people have committed suicide over less, so I think the public body-shaming is a real thing.

      I would have supported the ban, to be perfectly honest. Making the - let's call it "Pant's Line" - issue a matter of public discussion is definitely a positive because we should address it, but if that were this person's primary goal, they would have certainly done things differently; the people in those photos are certainly recognizable and the emphasis was humor of a schoolyard-bully variety.

      [–]mustafa2812 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

      I feel like we've had this argument on Reddit before. Maybe there was a post about it a while ago with pictures or something. Really, let's let it rest.

      [–]Shuko -2ポイント-1ポイント  (0子コメント)

      I think I agree about the controversy insofar as how contested the ban was, within the community. It wasn't nearly as popular outside the community, though. Sid's post in /r/funny was one of the highest-voted threads there of all time. Naturally, Wizards doesn't want their brand to be affiliated with convicted rapists, and Zach Jesse provided the community with plenty of cringey exposure. But for some reason, the world loves butts, and when Sid showcased some of the biggest and brightest examples of the MTG community, it was far more popular with the normies than any sort of criminal history controversy.

      If Sid hadn't drawn so much attention to Magic with the association people were making between bad hygiene and the game, would Wizards still have banned him? Maybe. But I doubt they'd have given him 18 months if they did.

      [–]Karametric 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

      You're my hero, welcome back. Everyone but the most hardcore of MTG players can take a joke, and Crackgate was one of the funniest things I had ever seen. I'm sorry that you got banned by a bunch of asshats and called out by Ass Crack Justice Warriors. Keep doing ya thang.

        He didn't deserve a lifetime ban, I still think it was a jerky thing to do.

        When you don't have a waist, sometimes your pants slip down.

        While I do have a waist (now) seeing myself in that thread would've ruined my week.

        We've had a lot of talk about making Magic a safe space for people to play in, which I agree with. I think that should extend to fat nerds.

        [–]klapaucius 8ポイント9ポイント  (0子コメント)

        He didn't deserve a lifetime ban

        Well, he didn't get one. This whole thread is full of people complaining about how awful and PC Wizards is that the poor guy can't harass anyone without being kicked out of card game tournaments for under two years.

        [–]Sourdust2 -2ポイント-1ポイント  (3子コメント)

        /u/ob1fbm should rent a booth at the next GP near him and let people make donations for him to take a pic with their buttcrack, then give the money to some kind of relevant anti-bullying charity or something.

        [–]thegalli 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

        Well if he was doing it just for straight profit I don't see how anyone would let him rent the booth in the first place.

        If he were giving the money to charity I think it would be funny and 'meta' enough that probably a lot of folks would pay money to pull their pants down slightly and have Sid kneel down and pray behind them.

        [–]klapaucius 16ポイント17ポイント  (2子コメント)

        Anti-bullying charity? But this thread has taught me that /r/magictcg loves bullying as long as it's bullying someone else.

        [–]Parryandrepost 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

        I really don't think his intentions were to bully individuals. If they were I think we would have got photos of faces too.

        [–]Rakyn87 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

        I would personally consider it more of a bully-thing to do to walk around in public exposing children and others to inappropriate body parts more so then taking pictures of someone you see doing that.

        I'm not really defending either, but I don't think its fair to accuse this subreddit of promoting a bully-friendly agenda just based on what OP did.

                When I was playing at Gen-Con this year, I was sitting next to a heavyset guy whose pants were way down low. Thankfully, the chairs didn't have those little portholes in the back, but when he got up from his chair, everyone on God's green earth saw the poor man's arse. There was a mother and a little girl walking past when he got up, and the little girl turned to look at him, and she squealed and pointed at him, saying "Mommy, look! Mommy, look!"

                Her mother hushed her and hurried them on, and I don't know if our man was aware of what had really happened. He just looked around with a confused expression on his face.

                I'll never forget the flushed, gleeful expression on that kid's face. It's like she had just seen an albino deer for the first time in her life or something. It didn't traumatize her in the least, but it sure embarassed Mom, lol. She probably took her off somewhere to explain to her why we don't point and yell at people, even if their butts are falling out of their pants. I hope she didn't have a sour opinion of the game because of the incident, though. That's what really upset me about it all, if anything did.

                You guys are unlucky. A lot of you don't have waists, so it makes it hard for you to keep your pants up, even with a belt. Us ladies generally have more curvature there, and it's easier for us to find pants that fit, too. I feel bad when I see a guy with his butt hanging out. I doubt they always realize it's happening, and I'd love to let them know so they can fix it, but I don't dare, because I don't want to embarrass them. :(

                It was pretty funny and at the same time I don't think there's anything wrong with putting a little criticism on the community as a whole to maintain a certain level of appropriate dress. IIRC he didn't show faces. It wasn't personal attacks or bullying as some have suggested. I saw no need for Wizards of the Coast to intervene at that level.

                Or we could go hellbent for relevance and use "fat-asstic".

                Not the popular opinion in the thread right now but:

                One would hope he's learned his lesson and doesn't harass more of the Magic community. Good luck going forward, let's hope it doesn't happen again.

                I hope he learned his lesson too.

                Taking pictures of people unable to keep their ass crack in their pants is hilarious and should be done at will on a single knee.

                Because you should keep your ass in your pants.

                And take a shower.

                Seriously.

                Have all my upvotes. Please. This shit is just gross man, people need to take better care of how they present themselves.

                I'm an L1 and if this behavior was happening in my LGS, I would not treat harassment so trivially as you suggest. Magic is supposed to be a welcoming environment, not one where people will be mocked and disparaged for any factor.

                [–]Rakyn87 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

                I'm actually legit confused what you are trying to say. Are you saying you would aggressively have people fix their pants so they aren't exposing the public to their sweaty hairy assholes, literally, or that you would stop someone for taking pictures if they did.

                Because honestly I wouldn't blame you for the former in the least.

                I would avoid you LGS like the plague if a bunch of people didn't have the common courtesy to keep there pants at an appropriate height

                I happily communicate with my players. If you're frightened of public speaking or confrontation in general, I would encourage you to talk to a judge instead to resolve these cases. No player has a license to harass any of my players and I don't welcome that behavior at all.

                There was never any harassment. Relax.

                He posed for pictures next to peoples exposed butt cracks, said people and people in the community got butt hurt, and his butt got hit with a ban.

                [–][deleted] -5ポイント-4ポイント  (34子コメント)

                Never should have been banned in the first place, his banning left a huge stain on MTG among adult players as a community that is too sensitive, PC, and can't take a joke.

                [–]jakebeleren 7ポイント8ポイント  (9子コメント)

                In the future try replacing "politically correct" with "trying not to be an asshole" and see if you understand better.

                And yet people are calling Wizards "too PC" for punishing that guy for being an asshole.

                [–]nick012000 3ポイント4ポイント  (3子コメント)

                He wasn't being an asshole, he was bringing attention to a serious hygiene and image issue the community faced. Unfortunately, rather than dealing with it by revising their tournament rules to include a reasonable dress code, Wizards decided just to ban him instead.

                [–]worldchrisis 4ポイント5ポイント  (23子コメント)

                His actions left a huge stain on MTG among the general public as a game only played by disgusting neckbeards. He completely deserved what he got.

                Nobody on this subreddit understands PR.

                Uhh...

                ...That is mostly true, at least at that level.

                If people don't want to be perceived as that....don't be that?

                If you don't give a shit how you're perceived, then fuck it. More power to you. But you can't get angry if someone calls you out on something you are actually doing.

                LSV was unhappy with his health so he lost a ton of weight. It's hard, sure. But you don't even need to lose weight if you don't want that perception.

                Just shave, bathe, and wear a belt.

                Are those three things really such an unreasonable expectation to have of someone before they attend a major event for a hobby they love?

                [–]worldchrisis -2ポイント-1ポイント  (1子コメント)

                No I don't think they are, and I'm not arguing that they aren't. I'm arguing that Blair's actions were mean-spirited and portrayed the game worse than it actually is in reality.

                [–]Crossfiyah 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

                It did nothing to portray the game either way.

                It portrayed (largely accurately) a portion of its most hardcore enthusiasts.

                [–]nick012000 2ポイント3ポイント  (1子コメント)

                You can't fix problems if no-one points them out, and that's what he was doing: bringing attention to a problem, so that it could be fixed.

                [–]worldchrisis -1ポイント0ポイント  (0子コメント)

                I think that's giving him way more credit than he deserves. I thought he was pretty obviously just publicly making fun of unsuspecting people.
