r/Fantasy mod fakes #metoo charges against fantasy author using elaborate Twitter hoax.

In The Lord of the Rings, J. R. R. Tolkien drew upon the language and themes found in the old Medieval hero-tales in order to construct a kind of new mythology. The brilliance of Tolkien was in his departure from the Pagan modes of conduct and morality of these old tales, his creation of a syncretistic fusion between Christian thought and Pagan language, and so his work achieved a deep resonance with all who read it.

We find this passage at the conclusion of The Return of the King:

The Dark Lord was suddenly aware of him, and his Eye piercing all shadows looked across the plain to the door that he had made; and the magnitude of his own folly was revealed to him in a blinding flash, and all the devices of his enemies were at last laid bare.

Adversaries in the stories that Tolkien drew upon, Grendel, Mordred and the like, often served as obstacles that the heroes could overcome through feats of strength and cunning. Sauron is not like them. When Sauron is defeated, it is not because Aragorn is stronger than him or because Gandalf is wiser. They are not. It is only that his hubris was so great that it never occured to him that anyone would want to destroy the thing he held so dear. It is not until the final few seconds of his existence that he realises his mistake.

I think that I Am Jazz displays a similar moment. In the pictured scene, Jazz's journey to what he believes is womanhood is almost complete. He is resting after surgery, a triumphant smile on his face, his rotting groin held together by a labyrinthine patchwork of stitches and grafts. But as Eru Ilúvatar nudged Gollum over the Crack of Doom into the fires beneath, so too does the God of our world intervene in this.

Pop!

In a second, the follies of men are undone and Jazz's crotch explodes, a meaty froth of blood and pus pouring out of the hole where his penis used to be.

In that moment of blind panic and terror, Jazz is Sauron. All triumph and victory is gone. Only the Void remains.

Amazing.

mods were a mistake

They do it for free

Look, I'm fucking done with the demonizing of Reddit moderators. It's not funny, it's not clever: it's sick.

These people work day in, day out--and for what? You think it's easy being a moderator? Dealing with the riffraff's shit every hour of every day? You think that's fun? You think that's something just anyone can do?

And it never ends. You people just can't behave! These people don't take vacation; they don't get recognition, honors, or awards; they don't get a mere thank you; is this the kind of person who deserves disparagement, ridicule, and even targeted bullying???

One day--just one day--in which Redditors can stop acting like incels and try putting into the world a nonpositive amount of misogyny, racism, transphobia, ableism, heightism, specisism, lookism, or otherkinism would just be _fan_fuckingtastic--but I know it's never gonna happen!

And why? Because y'all can't behave.

So next time you think about calling someone sweaty, or unemployed, or even (and especially!) unloved, I want you to take a look at yourself, you fucking Redditor, cos you wouldn't be here right now if it weren't for a moderator. And you know what? You think the government's keeping these people healthy and fed? Nope! And no matter what, they do their job.

And they do it for free.

Any online space dominated by foids like books is bound to be filled with retаrds.

Yeah, I know. Just look at the Young Adult genre - they are literally shutting down books before they even get published or read by anyone based on rumors of the content inside.

The audience is definitely one half of the problem, the other half sincerely being the publishers who are either chicks or effeminate manchildren.

Who is shutting it down? r/fantasy?

woketard Twatter lynch mobs. Some asian girl had her book canceled like last month and she was forced to publicly apologize. Difficulty: no one who complained had actually read the book.

sigh

Reported for not believing not only 1 accuser, but multiple accusers.

https://weatherwaxreport.blog/2019/03/27/about-ed-mcdonald/

blog post from one of the dumbass users who is deeply upset because she just ruined her own credibility, and doesn't get to be a part of any additional lynch mobs after picking the wrong one. Also showing how brave she is and promising to sue anyone that legally gathers her personal information from public records and posts it on the internet in accordance with her first amendment rights. idi ot.

You are truly a real victim in all this, i cant believe you had to go through all this

Haha, end humanity now please.

i can't believe that you had to experience internal bleeding after I made the choice to hit you with my car, which I did specifically for the purpose of getting high off of how moral and righteous I am

The mayos should suffice.

Absolute state of reddit.com forward slash r forward slash dråma

It hurts man, I was really banking on that comment.

too many immigrants, we need a wall. You can't even post b00sy anymore without getting downvotes.

Immigrant taking upboats from honest hardworking dramanauts 😤😤

THEY TOOK OUR JERBS!

"innocent until proven guilty" only legally exists in a criminal proceeding

It's fucking obnoxious how many people believe this. I got about 50 downvotes a couple days ago arguing with some dipshit in /r/internetdrama who said, "Innocent until proven guilty is a concept for fair legal procedure, not society." Lose your job an income, your house, your car, your reputation worldwide preventing you from ever working again, but, hey, at least you didn't go to jail!

They believe it until they are taken to court.

UK gets one thing right, and that is how damaging libel is.

It’s a tough line between libel and freedom to be incorrect

Not when you are accusing someone of a crime against you, or are a media firm with tangible assets that can be held to a code of conduct.

This is the party of lynching we are talking about.

This whole perspective perplexes me. Like am I wrong in conflating the people who instantly condemn people and the people who act like victims? In order for the latter to exist, the former has to have occurred. But due process is what prevents getting dicked over by anyone that spends more than 5 minutes being genuinely evil.

Remember, what's not illegal can not be immoral

The person who enacted the campaign against me relied on using well intentioned people who are believers in all the best parts of #MeToo.

​

Imagine defending the lynchmob that came after you.

​

Geeks and nerds are doormats, not exactly shocking findings

Being exonerated in a timely manner honestly isn't bad. For all the lynch mobbing they have gotten better at owning up to shit or at least letting it go with the exception of the metoo fundies and well extremists gonna extremist

probably helps that the lynch mob is profusely apologizing and working to clear his name

First amendment rights have nothing to do with posting personal information of others on the internet. Just says the government isnt allowed to stop you

Wat. How did you gloss over the few words before that explicitly paraphrasing her threat of legal action in response to doxxing. Do you understand what a civil lawsuit is or who officiates it? Did you think that private corporations are the ones providing private judges for civil lawsuits? Are you just bursting at the seems to correct someone on something but are too lazy to actually learn something factual before attempting to do so?

Ah but she can sue people all she likes, however the first amendment has nothing to do with that at all. It's not violating someone's first amendment rights if she tries to sue them just because judges aren't private companies still doesn't mean it's the government doing it. It's one individual suing another and using the courts to argue it out. Not the US government Vs individuals

are you mentally ret arded

Court ≠ Government .

Imagine not knowing what Anti-SLAPP is.

A WARNING TO THOSE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS: I can and WILL hire attornies if I start being harassed. I won’t tolerate being doxxed. I can and WILL go after you with the fullest extent of the law. I can and WILL pay for Wol’s attorney’s if she needs it as well. Due to a substantial inheritance, I have the financial means to do it, and I won’t hesitate. It would be extraordinarily unwise if you tried anything along those lines

It's over for no substantial inheritancecels

Due to a substantial inheritance

Congratulations, you just announced to the person you libeled that you are not in fact judgment-proof.

I could go for some IRL torte right about now

Where did you find that comment?

Nah it's at the end of the blog post

Ah I found it. She mentions posting on reddit. What is her username on reddit?

Heck if i know sonny

You made me sad in the pants.

weatherwaxreport

she just ruined her own credibility

considering her entire webpage is just a geocities-tier fanpage to Discworld i don't think she actually had any real credibility in the first place.

also i am unironically upset that some no-talent ass-clown can just ape off of Discworld for notoriety while not having fuckall to do with it. REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

official figures suggest the number of rapes and sexual assaults which are never reported or prosecuted far outweighs the number of men convicted of rape because of fake accusations.

Oh yes because the only rape accusation that can ruin your life is the one where you end up in jail. Being investigated, or even being accused and spread through media or simply word of mouth in smaller towns or communities with no official report can't damage you at all, right?

This guy was pretty much never in danger of getting prosecuted and going to jail, but they pretty much immediately axed him from a community he loved based on accusations because they believed they were correct. THIS is what people fear when they say false accusations are dangerous, not being locked up in prison because yes, the chance is quite small, even being taken to court is unlikely (who would've though people who make up a rape accusation are not keen on having to provide evidence in case investigation happens) but having your social and professional life destroyed over lies because of court of public opinion.

bad faith argument

ah yes, the go to comeback for half-baked NEET's everywhere.

Why the hell should he?

Because he's a typical pussy leftist who's going to thank everyone for fucking him over for the greater good with absolutely no regard for what a shitty precedent it is or how if it continues it's going to fuck over someone else who might not take it as well in the future.

yeah for real! I learned after I posted that, that he rolled the fuck over. good lord.

I also had no idea this was being talked about in this sub and the lot over in fantasy said I was brigading. I post in the evil dr*ma sub.

Someone spent over a year creating multiple social identies, with full backgrounds, that were used for the express purpose of accusing Ed and all coming forward and presenting "proof".

And people think our community has problems.

The best part is how the author at least claims that he has never met her or had anything to do with her in anyway. Female autism is real.

I would unironically wife this chick

Who could've known that the court of public opinion is about as reliable as the average bacteria is intelligent?

But obviously the correct way to treat accusations is to publicly tarr and feather the accused. Evidence is so last-century after all!

And those at the forefront of the witch hunt should be given medals because it's the thought that counts.

Mods are always so excited to put on their big boy pants and play reddit detective.

Reddit mods should forced to wear the gilded post symbol on their arms to warn children of these predators.

Where's longpostbot, he'd have a field day.

If only he could be a cage free bot. Sadly the world is not ready for him.

We had a trusted friend (whom several of us have met in real life) telling us about their personal (untrue) experiences. We've been hearing about this for literally years. And then a bunch of people came forward with corroborating stories.

We were fooled. Thoroughly.

Even masterlawlz (m-slur?) will never be as pathetic as this mod.

Lowrentacapeshitwannabecide now

Basically a one person plot to make Ed look bad.

Poor Ed. First getting banned and now this 😴😴😴

"Even though I got metoo'd and it was false. Never stop believing them."

What a pihole. I hate our dork culture and what became of it.

Ever since w*men were allowed into nerd culture they have systematically ruined every facet of it.

This but unironically. Mujeres are a plague that can only be cured by bussy.

Mujericide cuando?

White knight continues to ignore the dangers of MeToo culture even after it falsely targeted him thanks to an anonymous campaign

Womyn did this

k.

Yeah at what point is it too far? Evidently not when HE HIMSELF was victim of false accusations.

Right now, I'm vaguely keeping track of the Vic Mignogna lawsuit dr*ma. This is the only dude that's fighting back and hopefully set a precedent for this nonsense.

What's going on with that? I can't seem to get a clear answer when I google it. So far I heard he was a sexual predator, child molester and homophobic who refused to sign stuff for g-slur people.

Then I heard that most of that was proved false and a lot of the pictures were taken out of context.

Then I heard all of that was proved false and so all the allegations were true. Then they kicked him from some cons then let him back into others and now people are boycotting him.

Then the main thing I get was supposedly the Bulma actress started it all to get his job.

> I was not targeted because I was male.

BAHAHAHAHA

The biggest victim is never, of course, the man who was wrongfully accused. The biggest victim is always the hypothetical future victim who won't be believed.

I guess (white) men can't actually be victims of wrongful accusations. They should just be grateful the lynching was called off.

This fucking annoys me so much. The Victims! Guess what, he is the victim here. Not the grandma of the liar, not some random woman who may or may not be hurt later on, not whomever it is trendy to pity today, but the actual person who was very nearly ruined financially, professionally and socially.

iT StArTeD a cOnVeRsAtIoN

So did Brenton Tarrant

that sub makes me want to bash some nerds.

How disgusting. People need to listen and believe. Why are people throwing patriarchal phrases like evidence around? I'm actually going to quit this site if I see any more sexism like this.

Stop reminding of that terrible sub It's literally nothing but ultra-woke self-published "authors" jerking eachother off all day When it should be about Wheel of Time shitposts

You guys should look into the Vic Mignogna case. Same shit is happening to him right now.

We did it reddit?

The #MeToo movement is incredibly important. Victims must have a voice, and they must be encouraged to speak up. Do not stop trusting people when you hear their stories because of this. People must be heard. Despite what has happened to me, I am an ardent supporter of #MeToo.

Ed Mcdonald deserved everything and worse than what happened to him. Fucking pathetic.
