PSA: Beware The Quartering

P S A  | TO THOSE REBLOGGING THE VIDEO ABOUT STAN LEE

Hey Guys. I’m seeing a video getting reblogged around our fandom communities lately that reports on Stan Lee’s protections being removed by a Judge, and how he’s in a very dark place. I Totally Agree that this is a very important topic that we as a community need to be aware of and should raise alarm bells about. HOWEVER: A WORD OF WARNING Please, please consider your sources when you hear something like this. If you have learned of the issue by watching The Quartering’s video, then I urge you to find another source and share/reblog/promote that. The Quartering is a YouTube channel hosted by Jeremy Hambly, who is a seriously dangerous and problematic person. He has had multiple videos removed by YouTube from both this channel and his other channel (UnSleeved Media) for promoting harassment, toxic bullying, and hate speech. He is known for making videos that mock “SJW”s, “White Knights,” “Beta Males” and any women who attempt to engage in gaming circles such as Magic: The Gathering. His harassment (and endorsement of his followers’ harassment) of the prominent cosplayer Christine Sprankles actually became so terrible that she quite cosplaying altogether and removed herself from social media. And Wizards of the Coast has issues a Lifetime Ban from all tournaments because he is recognized as a toxic member of the community. 

Just look at his other videos, on this channel alone:

References for when he was banned, his recorded harassment, and his toxic contributions to M:TG

Polygon Article detailing the harassment of Sprankle and the Lifetime ban by WOTC

Wizards of the Coast bans Bullies

Kotaku: Details about cosplayer’s harassment and others who have been harassed by Hambly (Unsleeved Media)

This man unleashed thousands of his fans on a woman in Magic simply because she enjoyed cosplaying as the characters. His since deleted YouTube videos used all the same tactics as those in GamerGate to violate and attack Zoe Quinn and Leigh Alexander. He is NOT TRUSTWORTHY and completely undeserving of viral promotion. Please exercise extreme caution if you are going to share his message with others, or endorse his channels as legitimate information sources within the nerd/gaming community. It could do so much harm. 

As an alternative to sharing his video, I have located a few other sources that also share Stan’s troubling battle for autonomy. They are below:

Thank you for taking the time to read all this. My heart literally raced when I saw this horrible person on my dash today, and I hope that by staying aware, we save others from his abuse.

[moire’s scowling as she runs ankle-deep in the surf along the beach, hot under her own skin, trailing saltmagic and a sour mood behind her. she’s waiting for the ocean to calm her, calm her down, take her into its arms and spin away the doubt. absentmindedly, the water eddies and slinks over each step when she passes, leaving footprints in the surf as clearly as if she were walking through sand. 

there’s a dark hazy rumbling on the horizon, and moire keeps swallowing, the back of her throat salty and then cold and then filled with the newly-familiar taste of artificial cherry gum. there’s a moment where she thinks, oh shit, and that’s when the storm hits.

it’s very short and very wild, whipping through both camps and toppling over carefully piled coconuts, soaking any paper left out in the open, lashing anyone outside with hot, thick rain that foams when it hits the sand. in less than five minutes, it moves on through the forest and off to the other side of the island, leaving long strands of seaweed and errant crabs in its wake.]

Arash wakes up, and sits up to pull on his shirt, and turns his shoe upside down to check for spiders, and frowns, and says, “Daisy!”, and realizes that today is going to be really, really, really long.]
