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

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.
