“We keep a standard for Magic art to portray strong female characters. Sexy is OK, submissive or damsels in distress is not.”

I guess this was started after Earthbind.

(via theblackhood)

Obviously well after earthbind since it says she’s been the brand director for three years and the Quinton Hoover Earthbind artwork was from alpha. Also, he said he was basically coerced into doing the piece and doesn’t, as a rule, like bowing to the “tits and ass” sells artwork.

(via fattypolitic)

Yeah, I mean, I knew that. Earthbind is just really silly to me because I feel it sticks out as the most sexually suggestive Magic art I’ve seen. 

I immediately thought of Earthbind too. That’s why I did the research and put the “3 years” mention up there.

I don’t much care about “submissive or damsels in distress” exists in standard for Magic art. However, that’s limited to the cases when “submissive or lads in distress” exists in a similar way. Isn’t this even?
