Just logged into D&D Beyond, and they removed Zak S, RPG Pundit and other consultants

WOW - this is crazy amount of fall out. Wizards must have given in to the SJWs on Twitter to deplatform consultants.

URGGGG

Are people asking why Pundit is gone?  I can see ZakS, but other consultants?  Just check to see if there is a error, or this is indeed intentional.

This will be debated at length, I believe.  If WOTC wants to be an echo chamber for their full time staff, so be it.  They will do what they want to do, and they will ignore any criticism to the contrary.

Likely because that ass clown Zweihander has been stirring the mob like crazy since this happened with his little "unpersons" list. I followed this shit storm on reddit and within 12 hours of the Zak allegations coming out Zweihander had basically meme'd Pundit in to being an "alt-right identitarian".

I was going to buy a copy of Zweihander but fuck that dude, I'll be damned if he gets a penny of my money.

You know, if I was Pundit, I would investigate with a lawyer about filing Libel, Harassment, Slander, Defamation suit against Daniel Fox. Daniel Fox is certainly slandering Pundit with unsubstantiated and malicious lies, which not only impugn Pundit's character--but also cost him money, reputation, and future profitable opportunities. I'm not a lawyer, though I'm wondering if what Fox has been doing to Pundit is legal. It would be glorious to drag Fox into court so he could be sued for several hundred grand or more, and publicly crucified!

To be fair ppl have been complaining about RPG Pundit since ConsultantGate (so annoying that it was even a thing). This may be the straw that broke the camel's back. Looking on my Twitler, there has been a loooooong call to remove Pundit from the game - erroneous as it is.

edit - not to split hairs but looking at Zweihammer's twitter he didnt call Pundit an abuser he said he was a harasser. I won't link it here, dont want to piss off Pundit.

How did he get his book in Target is beyond me.  Enough talking about trash though.

I think we need a wait and see policy.  I for one want to know the truth and for that we need evidence.

The problem I see is that he didn't outright call Pundit a sexual abuser. He said he was a harassers and provided links to fucking Sarah Darkmagick and Pundits blog. It's certainly weasel-ish but nothing illegal about it.

Hey my friend! Well, geesus, it just galls me to think that spewing maicious lies about a person, specifically in the marketplace, in a professional capacity--whereupon such malicious slander can ruin someone's career and business is somehow legal, and without a legal standing to present a counterattack and hammer them. It just boggles me if such an outrage can be legally sanctioned, you know?

I'm surprised that WotC didn't remove Frank Mentzer while they were at it.
