Judge's Guild decided the right way to post about the death of Jennell Jaquays was by deadnaming her throughout in their Facebook post.
This got them a bunch of yelling-at, during which they doubled down that this was somehow neutral practice, and then it vanished, possibly deleted, possibly reported into oblivion.
So, like, if they weren't already on your asshole list, mark 'em on down.
@LeviKornelsen The current iteration of Judge's Guild is a steaming pile of racist, sexist, homophobic, alt-right assholes. It's shameful that the legacy (and publishing rights) of that storied publishing house from the early days of the hobby landed with such reprehensible people.
@LeviKornelsen Yeah, plenty of racism and anti-Semitism. I'm assuming there were helpings of homophobia and transphobia prior to today, but that wasn't what really got him into trouble back in 2020.
@Tim_Eagon@LeviKornelsen Both Jennell Jaquays and Joseph Goodman (Goodman Games, who has done reprints of Judge’s Guild and Jaquays’ work) made a joint statement condemning Bledsaw Jr’s bigotry when it came to light. Maybe the deadnaming is one final swipe.
It just floors me that I have never seen anyone mess Ms Jaquays name up, and now the people with whom she produced her Annus mirabilis decided to be assholes.
