You know, there's been something that's been bothering me about this whole shebang since Jeremy began his little Autism-based one-man offensive.
At this point, we know that there are Pedophiles in the MTG judging program. It would be one thing if it was just one, or a handful, but by all accounts there's over two dozen by now by conservative estimates, and that brings us to the realization that
someone in the judging program has to have been covering for them.
This begs the question:
Why?
Now at this point, "regressive leftist turns out to be a sex offender" has become this generation's "self-proclaimed moral guardian republican gets caught being a closted homosexual" meme-wise. Yet usually when we see some kind of mass Pedo Defense Force action, it's usually for a reason. For example,
Nyberg was a walking meme factory for Anti-GG that cut across its disparate communities, so the attempts of Anti-GGers to cover Nyberg's ass, while abhorrent, made something distantly resembling sense. Yet there's none of that here, in this.
If WotC's disdain of said background checks and ongoing attempts to go after people advocating them is anything to go by, then the logical conclusion one draws from that is that somebody, or more likely than not
multiple somebodies involved with the Judge program are either pedophiles or pedophile apologists themselves. If it was just a case of "this was an oversight, we will tend to this immediately," they'd have gone full-bore correcting it, and the shit would have ended
overnight. It would have made shit-stirrers like Jeremy look like even bigger idiots, and would have been a good moment to show they were on the ball. They didn't do that. They not only completely flailed around scrambling for a response, but they've since doubled down on going after people bringing up the Pedophiles in the Judge program.
Draw your own conclusions.
Pretty much, yeah. They gave no evidence of their claim (or didn't provide any),
exactly like I said
was gonna happen, and MTG Lion's got nothing to lose by making them look like fucking morons, so this Autistic game of high-stakes chicken has basically zero risk for the guy.
I honestly doubt it'll get that far.
MTG Lion's purportedly squared off with WotC's legal team before, and
won. The objective wouldn't be to bankrupt WotC (Hasbro would pull the plug on that shit
long before it ever got to
that fucking point), it's to air their dirty laundry and expose their CoC as being utterly unenforcable garbage that they've been implementing entirely along ideological lines, preferably while hurting them a bit economically in the process (WotC's legal arm ain't cheap).
