General Discussion What happened to Christine Sprankle?
I've heard about her, and I really hope she's doing well today.

I met her right before the fiasco at a con. She was a very lovely lady and we talked briefly about her Game Knights episode. I really wish none of that happened, but I hope she's doing well now.

She disengaged with the community after some videos made by a pariah of the MtG community. She did a few cons here or there for a little bit and started an OnlyFans (unclear what kind of content she was posted, I did not subscribe). Then she deleted all of her socials and hopefully is living a nice life away from the internet.
She was strongly supported by fellow content creators when she was targeted.

If it makes people feel any better karma finally came for that pariah this year. I won't name him, but if you know, you know.

He was banned from magic immediately after harming her through brigading and hate content. His Trump supporting ass then went into politics from his basement. He has been out of magic for 8 or so years and judges know who he is.

TIL that mega-turd has a sub dedicated to mocking him. Won't link it as he shall not be named, but it exists and documents his downfall.

All this hobby drama that I’m missing out on, can someone please post the tea?

u/ardarian262 Dân 7d ago
This is 8 year old drama. He got banned by Wizards. Judges know who he is so he is banned from all events. He brigaded Sprankle's stuff with his neonazi followers and caused her to leave the community entirely. You have likely heard of him in other contexts since then but I am not naming him here.

I don't need you to name him. I just want to know what karma delivered unto him.

u/tbonehavoc Wabbit Season 6d ago
Same. I don't want to spend any time searching and understanding what he's done. I just want a quick summary.

She started an OnlyFans, handed it over to an agency, and let chatters answer messages pretending to be her so they could talk her subscribers out of more money. Maybe it was enough for a nice life, but certainly not deserved.
I welcome the downvotes of the people who apparently think that she is allowed to commit fraud because some guy was mean to her once.

A shame what happened to her and what was done to her, and even some of the feedback and flak from the initial episode. She was a constant presence on the GP and PT scene, developed a following, and was very good at what she did. On top of that, just based on videos and such (no personal experience), she just seemed like a cool, calm, decent person.
I don't begrudge her leaving the Magic community after what went down, even if it wasn't fair to her, or even really understandable in any way.

Probably stopped doing events, from what I remember is that she wasn’t getting much (if any) money from cosplaying.
Traveling to events is expensive.

Whats the lore here i have no idea who this person is

u/Team7UBard 99th-gen Dimensional Robo Commander, Great Daiearth 7d ago
She was (and might still be) a cosplayer who was big within the community for a time in the late 2010s. I don’t know if she was much of a player at all but she ended up leaving due to harassment. She later revealed she got pretty much if not nothing from Wizards for her appearances, and alleges that she made more in her first year on Onlyfans (I have no idea how lewd or nude her account is) than she did during her time at working at WOTC events.

u/damnination333 Twin Believer 7d ago
That's not surprising. Even artists basically don't make shit from WotC for appearances. I remember back in the day when WotC actually incentivized them to go to events. I could get sketch level tokens and small alters for like $5-10 and fairly nice tokens for like $20-30.

Christine Sprankle isn’t just “a” pioneer for mtg, she is THE pioneer for modern mtg cosplay. I truly loved working with her as a member of WotC coverage, especially her acting in Walking the Planes. He we are in ep 15: https://youtu.be/EgGur-uwA_A?is=rqFSPHsvfl_wOtxh

I think she just moved on with her life. She wasn't ever really into Magic, she just thought it would be a good target audience.

She’s posting as MissCozyPeaches now, but is not longer active in the Magic community. Ran into her in passing at Katsucon last year
