LATT MAGIC: THE GATHERG NOVEL KILLS FAN-FAVORE GAY ROMANCE
On a ser note, this year has been good for queer characters like the nonbary Niko Aris Kaldheim and the gay Vadrik Innistrad: Midnight Hunt, but Crimson Vow is noteworthy for havg multiple nonilly queer characters who actually get to do queer thgs.
Wh that md, Crimson Vow is still the gayt set history, and all the proof you need is the art of the rds themselv, particularly the vampir. It really hammers home how Falkenrath Celebrants is as gay as gay n be, and how obvly Drag-spired Olivia, Crimson Bri's gown is. But as we move on to Kamigawa or New Capenna next year, remember to cherish Crimson Vow as the set where thgs got really, really gay.
THIS NEW MAGIC: THE GATHERG SET IS A GAY GOTH’S DREAM
Sce s first publitn 1993, hundreds of new rds have been created each year, but wasn’t until the fall of 2016 a supplementary set that we saw a gay uple featured on one. “Kynas and Tiro of Meletis” (henceforth referred to as ‘K&T’) is the only reprentatn of a livg, explicly gay uple on a MtG rd, ever. Thanks to heteronormativy, most players will assume that people shown on other rds are probably cisgenr and heterosexual, so this puts prsure on K&T to reprent gay people.
If a rd that looks like the perfect reprentatn has room for negative nnotatns anyway, how are we supposed to get good gay/queer reprentatn general? While this first rd do give MtG s first gay reprentatn, we’ll need more than this rd to alter player perceptn — and this do not necsarily mean rds pictg lovers! In a game where a rd’s mechanics expand to a thoand dynamics and subsequent rhetoril terpretatns, the only way to create beneficial reprentatns of gay/queer people is through normalizatn: nsistent reprentatn to “sensize” viewers to their prence.
So rather than jt creatg a pleasant reprentatn of gay people, WotC should create nsistent reprentatn stead. We also see potential the latt Amonkhet spoilers through the ncept of crop-mat — though “Start//Fish” clus an awkward end for the potentially-gay uple, monstrat that there are ways of rponsibly and thoughtfully reprentg queer folk gam.
