[QUOTE="Steampunkette, post: 8601143, member: 6796468"] 1) I'm curious how much overlap you see between Magic: The Gathering and GI Joe or Monster High. Like are those really potent untapped demographics for a card game that would sell millions of copies? 2) Backlash against Cancel Culture. Hmm. 'Kay. That's certainly a take. "Cancel Culture" is a boogeyman invented by people facing social consequences for their misdeeds in a solid DARVO maneuver. Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender. "It's not important that I exposed myself to women over the years without consent or warning, what matters is this angry response to my innocent mistake!" 3) Disney's Debt. They hover between 40% and 60% Debt to Equity ratio and always have, because they constantly cycle debts. They're not "Drowning" in debt. They're maintaining it because they can make their bottom line look fatter through loans to offset costs.
