New Zealand fired its official wizard after 23 years.
— AJ+ (@ajplus) October 15, 2021
Ian Brackenbury Channell was paid $16,000/year to perform "acts of wizardry" like rain dances, making over $300,000. His contract termination came after he made misogynistic comments about beating women, reports @guardian. pic.twitter.com/tDTP8CuV2F

What misogynistic comments? Did he say, "You shall not pass!" and some MtF got pissed off?

This is unironically the smartest way to stop wife beaters you know. Scare them with the consequences coz if they gave a shit they would never have started hirting their wives in the first place.

Its complicated but long story short he basically acted like an r-slur in public until they gave him money to be slightly less r-slurred and be a public spectacle for tourism purposes.

16k/yr is like 1/30th of their budget too. It's a heavy financial burden for the people of New Zealand.

It was 16k/year for 23 years, totaling 300k+.
Remember, it's Twitter. Every number is technically true but presented in such a way to have you draw the wrong conclusion.

I really don't think every number on Twitter is true let alone technically when you add people's listed age...

βThey are a bunch of bureaucrats who have no imagination,ββ [Channell] said. βThey are not thinking of ways to promote Christchurch overseas. They are just projecting an image of bureaucrats drinking lattes on the boulevard."
"It makes no difference," [Channell] said. "I will still keep going. They will have to kill me to stop me." βI would like to know what the reason is for it."
βThey are not making use of my worldwide fame. I am disappointed they havenβt made use of The Wizard as part of the promotion of Christchurch.
βI donβt like being cancelled.β
Lmao

It's the year 2021. Wizards are being cancelled for wife beating comments on social media. Not even the greatest cyberpunk works could have predicted this.

This guy is a relic of a more based time. He was doing magic and satanic rituals in public during the 70s, then some local council who hates fun tried to ban him, then the New Zealand art gallery persuaded their prime minister that he should be considered Local Art, so the prime minister made him the official wizard of New Zealand and Antarctica.
