This is absolutely outrageous. This mans child is bi-racial and he has never attacked anyone on the basis of race. He is being punished for a meme.

I've know and played MTG with Jesse my whole life. He is iconic in our local community and runs one of the best stores I've been to. The environment is safe, diverse and welcoming. Even after quitting MTG this year I still find myself stopping by to see everyone brought together by Jesse's store.

This is absolutely unacceptable. Store of Fire and Dice did nothing wrong!

Outrageous--our great nation is great in part because of due process. ASOFAD has not even been given the chance to defend themselves. This is a terrible way for WOTC to do business. Awful.

Way to shoot first and ask later WoTC. How about you start listening to the people who care about your game before you lose everything.

local game stores are the blood of your business, its disgusting that you would get rid of one, not to mention ruin someone's lively hood for such a stupid reason.

Nobody should be silenced for hosting different views in their private business. Even edge lords should be allowed!

I've gamed here many times and have met nothing but good people. The owner is a very pleasant man who has some interesting conspiracy theories but has never disrespected anyone while I have been there. I truly enjoy my time there and would hate to see a valuable store for me loose so much of it's appeal.

This is akin to the 4 officers being suspended without pay for playing the OK game. 4chan recently has started a trend of making obviously not racist things be treated as racist. This is something that I thought WotC would know about, being fellow memers. Regardless, I guess I'll try STARFINDER now. Also, to blacklist someone without even talking to them is really really bad business practice.

While I've only been to the store once b/c it's far away from me, I have a couple friends that I know that are regulars their. That day that I went in there I met nothing but kind people. The people they have in the store (both employess and customers) are diverse in both age and ethnicity, but no one their actually cares about that b/c they are all their to have fun and enjoy themselves. More and more lgs' are closing here on long island and this is one of the more popular ones too. Removing their WPN is a huge mistake and needs to be corrected.

Shutting a store down over a joke? George Orwell is rolling in his grave.

I dont know how anyone would not feel welcomed at the store. Its been a great time and even brought one of my friend back into gaming because of how welcoming the ppl there are.

This is my local store and I have never been in any way discriminated against or even gotten one hint of any kind of hate or even looked at in a weird way, all the contrary I have always been welcomed and all the staff in there has always been super extra nice to me. Please reconsider this decision as this will undoubtedly hurt the community in my local area and this store just does not deserve this kind of treatment while I can say other stores in New York are unfriendly and unwelcoming by both owners and players where this store is been all but good to me and even my family which I have brought up to get some table top games. Just for the record me and family are all from Guatemala.

This store is amazing I have met so many people I’ve done many events in regards to magic the gathering. regardless of political opinions I have never felt nor have I needed to leave the shop because of it. this store is a great as well as the manager Jesse. Its always a good time there even funnier when Jesse there And it will be a huge blow to the magic community of the area to lose This places ability purchase magic and play magic 5 to 6 days a week with random drafts , events, or beeing able to purchase cards or packs we need. I implore that wizards of the coast get their investigation over because once done they will let A Store Of Fire And Dice continue to be a great place for magic .

ASOFAD was my second home during the toughest years of my life. It was a place where I can spend quality time, express my self, and be amongst quality people.

I have always felt welcomed by Jesse and everyone at ASoFAD. I've never witnessed any type of discrimination and there's no reason we shouldn't be able to continue to play FNM there. I hope WOTC will change its mind. My gender shouldn't really matter here but since I'm sure this was done in some misguided way to protect people like me I am trans and this hurts me.

Asofd has been a place where I have been able to grow going from Yugioh to Magic I look forward to going to thier events and product releases, this is the closest place to me to play and to think that I would not be able to keep supporting the store through magic is upsetting.
