Part 4/9:
Another controversial aspect is Wizards’ ongoing efforts to moderate content and curate creator participation. One prominent example involves Elizabeth Eden, a Magic: The Gathering content creator. Wizards of the Coast removed her from the creator program allegedly due to her posting photos with cleavage, which the company claimed violated their code of conduct regarding sexualized content.
Eden argues that her content was not explicit and that the removal was unjustified. She provided her own evidence, showing that her posts contained no nudity or explicit material but simply playful photos or mock-ups, like a fake Magic card featuring herself. Such accusations paint a picture of hypersensitivity and a slippery slope toward policing personal expression, even when innocent.
