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)

So the only reason I specified her personal beliefs is that her termination came up in response to them. If Artist N got let go for no specific reason, I agree it doesn't make sense to catalog their beliefs here.Tm123123 (talk) 17:20, 22 July 2020 (UTC)

I didn't want to criticize you, I think your work is pretty solid with the situation as is... The whole situation just annoys the heck out of me. - Yandere Sliver 17:25, 22 July 2020 (UTC)

"Arguably strongest female artist"

I know it says "arguably," but this feels like an extremely pointless and subjective inclusion. I'm planning to change it to say either "technically strongest" to make it at least sound somewhat based in fact or remove the sentence altogether. Passhonrippu (talk) 06:46, 21 July 2021 (UTC)

Agreed. I think Terese was held in quite high regards. But I would rather like the wiki to be sober and factual. Can you change that? - Yandere-sliver (talk) 11:02, 21 July 2021 (UTC)

Agree. The sentence can be removed. --Hunterofsalvation (talk) 11:03, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
