[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 7730230, member: 4348"] I was ignorant of his stuff and this going on before this, as I was not a Magic Player. I do not know the backstory, and didn't really get enough to really understand what was going on from the short paragraph in the article above. I thus decided to do some research on it. Some of the stuff I found...not that I'm any better at elaborating then the ENworld article was (and probably am worse). I wish there was someway to view what was actually said in the videos by the guy who Sprankle states was one of the primary reasons she felt harassed. One of the first things I did to try to see what was going on with this was to try to find things in this regards...and it is INCREDIBLY hard to find evidence pointing one way or the other at this point. All I've found in most cases are videos that are in response to one claim or the other and thus released in the past week, but without the hard evidence to support one side or the other. Seeing those videos would be interesting to see how they hold up in regards to her claims. IT DOES appear there is an actual hard harassment campaign against the guy right now going on (they call him MTGHQ, which must have been the name of his channel prior to it being called UnsleevedMedia which right now is full of his counterclaims in response...but no evidence one way or the other, and another channel he has called the Quartering), which is actually irony I think. It is pretty good evidence that he's being directly harassed himself at this point by one or two individuals. The thing I'm trying to figure out is her claims. She states it has been going on for at least a year, but as per the things about the MTGHQ guy, it seems his video which is the controversial one that I can't see was only out for 6 months. That doesn't add up...but there is something DID notice. I didn't find direct harassment of the lady who quit the cosplay scene (and it probably is because all those videos were removed, which makes it very hard to validate), but I did find that on his channel thequartering (as opposed to the channel lit up in the above EN article of MTGHQ...my first search was there, and that was a dead end, but the quartering is a gold mine of this stuff) a BUNCH of things which could be considered offensive to many, such as naming individuals (which could later be harassed by followers), a misunderstanding of how Transgender works in regards to hormone levels and other aspects of being Transgendered (and hopefully I utilized the terms correctly there, I apologize if I used them incorrectly) which leads to incorrect assumptions and insulting statements, as well as other such things. One of his videos from that channel is linked to in the Polygon article, but there are MANY others, so much so that I get the impression that while his MTGHQ is more of a magic channel, his The Quartering account is basically a political rant channel. He calls a majority of Magic Players some rather insulting ideas as well and implies that while many others are these things, he is such a thing as an alpha male or at least not a beta male (and...just in case anyone is wondering, my personal input is that this entire alpha and beta thing is BS, it was shown that the idea taken from wolves is BS as such a thing doesn't actually exist). I can see a definite pattern on his part in his The Quartering account/channel, and in fact, I have to wonder why this guy even plays MTG as he seems offended by a majority of the community as per his Quartering account. It is one loooong ensuing rant which probably would make a LOT of our community uncomfortable whether you play Magic or not. So, while I can't find a targeted a campaign against her (as I said, possibly because those videos were taken down), but I can say that one of his accounts shows signs of symptomatic attitudes of oppression towards women, gamers, and those who he may not politically agree with. It could be that in addition to the videos that have been taken down directly attacking her, that the attitude of his channel could have added onto the feeling that constantly could remind her of the aggression that played a part. PS: Of interest, I think this stuff has actually added to the number of hits on his channels. The videos linked to in polygon have a higher number of hits then his other videos on average. Just a heads up of something to consider for those who go looking for what this was all about and the actual story behind it like I did. By watching these, we may inadvertently, even if we do not mean to, be supporting him in a weird way because he is getting higher hits on some of his more controversial videos at this point. Something I did not consider before trying to find this stuff, but on reflection realize it now. Something to think about and consider when looking for more information on this. [/QUOTE]
