If anything, it may have been embarrassing but again no one is named and no faces are shown. If any of the individuals photographed has an issue then they need to invest in a pair of big boy pants (excuse the pun).Additionally, what makes you think that all Magic players - and by extension gamers - are bullied? I will concede that while gaming is more accepted in 2014 than it was even a decade ago that it can occur, I just don't buy that all Magic players are getting together to hide from "the Bullies".
The book "Jonny Magic and the Card Shark Kids" is a story about how Jon Finkel was bullied and found a group of friends through Magic and storme Vegas. He's not the only person with similar stories. That said, the definition of "bullying" as evolved into several different ideas since we were kids in 2000. Thank you, Social Networking.
