Of all the Americans MTG is one and I couldn’t wait to read her book. Unfortunately it arrived upside down so I had to return it. 1 star.

And Amazon has now restricted the reviews. Boo

Weird for Magic The Gathering. I have questions.

Are we talking the coastal wizards are being trolled or the players?

From the Amazon description

Known for her humor and honesty,

lol, wut? when?

[–] NateNate60@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The humour is obvious. Just listen to her daily ramblings and speeches and you'll be rolling on the floor. The latter is an example of the former.

It’s not surprising that she confuses “laughed at me” with appreciating something.

[–] Alivrah@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Technology has come so far you can even publish books in different timelines!

[–] mateomaui@reddthat.com 2 points 2 years ago

This is the most likely explanation.

You know what, guys? Marge would be quite upset about the negative reviews, if she could read.

[–] nnullzz@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

She couldn’t even bother to make sure her name and title was centered on the books cover.

Worse yet, it's leaning left, and we all know that's inaccurate.

[–] Illuminostro@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

The majority of the copies are bought by some Republican super PAC, standard GOP procedure.

Whenever I hear of MTG I think of the Japanese firm and I'm really confused why the business has been assigned a gender -_-

I think of Magic the Gathering and also get confused.

[–] woblylobly@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

There are only 4 reviews.

[–] reddig33@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Amazon deleted the other reviews.

[–] mateomaui@reddthat.com 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Crazy that for some reason those 4 were left up.

[–] Artyom@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Amazon probably only left up verified purchases.

[–] mateomaui@reddthat.com 3 points 2 years ago

Hard to say. None of them specifically say verified purchase (at least I think they normally say that), and this is one that’s still up:

[–] mateomaui@reddthat.com 7 points 2 years ago

You may notice the article itself shows at least six different ones, so reviews are getting removed.

[–] mateomaui@reddthat.com 4 points 2 years ago

Damn that article under it about Jenna Ellis is also hilarious

[–] itsonlygeorge@reddthat.com 3 points 2 years ago

Is it written in crayon?

[–] library_napper@monyet.cc -2 points 2 years ago

Doesn't that mean they bought her book? So....she's laughing all the way to the bank?
