Terese's termination of contract with Wizards
I've updated the page to reflect her no longer being under WotC employ, and briefly summarized the background issues. If a better editor than I would like to take a stab at fleshing it out, much obliged: would particularly love a bit of detail on the Autumn Burchett "NO TERFS ON GRUUL TURF" incident, as it is notable in giving commentary to some of Terese's more... ah, problematic views. Thanks! Tm123123 (talk) 18:17, 20 July 2020 (UTC)
- Honestly I hate this whole Drama Llama stuff and would like to keep that out of the wiki as best as possible. That being said, it is pretty significant when one of the most high profile mtg artists gets terminated. - Yandere Sliver 20:41, 20 July 2020 (UTC)
