Magic The Gathering YouTuber (and self described shitlord, vague GamerGate associations), MTG Headquarters aka Unsleeved Media aka Jeremy is currently facing a witch hunt within the Magic The Gathering (children's cardboard game) community after a popular cosplayer named Sprankle accused him of harassing her. You may notice a lack of real accusations of anything, because there doesn't appear to be much. I saw a twitch clip of Jeremy calling her a "grifter", I think the implication is that he's making fun of her for being a glorified bikini model.
From my personal observation and vague knowledge of the MTG community I get the feeling that everyone hates Jeremy for being not in the SJW club, which is very much a thing in MTG-land. Looking for any reason to try to get him deplatformed in any way possible. There seems to be a consistent meme that if they just get rid of these toxic neckbeards they'll get more women to play the game, which is already having a decline in playerbase. Wizards of the Coast already making internal policy rules about "objectification of women" in their card art, which if anyone played MTG in the 90s it was pretty metal shit for kids (and since massively toned down).

Another, even more popular MTG YouTuber "Tolarian Community College" joining in. I feel it's important to point out that this is like a 40-50 year buttoned-down dude with a full family, the idea of him having a panic attacks over a memey wannabe Sargon shitlord is totally fucking bizarre.

He just put out a video response, I haven't watched it yet. I saw it as I was putting this post together. (Update: I watched it, it's the best source of evidence of the accusation, which is mocking her for being a glorified bikini model. It mostly confirms my belief that this isn't about the cosplayer, it's about people not liking Jeremy)

After being temporarily banned from Twitter, Jeremy immediately went into shitposting overdrive and he's stated he has already done an interview with Kotaku journo. There's too much to screencap, it's like Spoony or SecretGirlGamer level tweeting.
