Mod edit: Let's start with a history lesson from @Harambe
This thread was originally in the salt mine and was pretty active. Seeing as the salt mine died, I figured I would start a new thread here. I'm in class right now but when I get home I'll start writing a recap of all of the big drama that has happened in the past few years. Keep in mind that what I have spoilered right now doesn't even begin to cover all of the scandals and autistic meltdowns that have taken place. In the mean time, feel free to post about current drama or write your own recaps and I'll put them in here. There is a loooooot of ground to cover with this thread, so it may take a while to get caught up.

WIP- Basic gist is Jeremy of Unsleevedmedia called a cosplayer a "6/10" on stream and the community had a collective meltdown, resulting in Jeremy getting permabanned from sanctioned magic events and other content creators leveraging their userbase to get his patreon taken down.

WIP- The center of the Cosplayer Scandal and has tried to get Kiwifarms to be his personal army in the past

WIP- The company that owns Magic. They freuquently hire and promote SJW Ideologoy and have fallen on MANY scandals lately over cardstock quality, unjustified community bans, and MUCH more.

WIP- The main magic sub that has been the center of a lot of controversy after several unjustified bans where handed out to anyone talking negative about WOTC. It Eventually got so bad that a splinter sub, /r/Freemagic, was formed

Many of the youtube creators and constantly at war with each other. Many of these creators frankly deserve their own spoiler sections, if not threads, but I will keep it concise for now.

Wedge from the Mana Source- A has-been MTG youtuber that hides behind his anxiety as an excuse for his lack of content. Has Squabled with Unsleevedmedia.

The Mana Leek- Rallies up his userbase to get people he doesn't like banned from the game, youtube, or even patreon

Deselatormagic- Probably as close to Verlisify as the magic community has. Generally autistic content comprised of him playing random games and ranting about shit going on in the community

Over the years there has been a lot of problems with the community such as how poorly run tournaments are now days and wide spread cheaters. As well as an issue with "big" MtG players basically running the tournaments so they can get preferred treatment.

Mike Long a famous MtG player known for his cheating.

Can't forget about Narset, Enlightened Master, MtG's autistic planeswalker because why not? It's progressive.

In January WotC made changes to how tournaments are done. Following is from store not liking the idea as WotC wants the store owners to do the background checks for their game which of course would cost these stores money when they're already hurting.

Others call this tranny drama a "scandal". Facebook post there is Ali saying he was a no good male and he was ashamed for his actions and should be castrated so he can be a better player. (he's known to cheat in tournaments)

Would you get this confused as a woman?
