The Jeremy Hambly Magic: The Gathering Harassment Ban meme stems from the 2017 lifetime ban of YouTuber Jeremy Hambly, also known as TheQuartering, from all sanctioned MTG events and the DCI. The ban was enacted by Wizards of the Coast following a long-standing pattern of online harassment, specifically targeted at cosplayer Christine Sprankle, who cited the abuse as her reason for leaving the hobby. This event became a landmark moment in the gaming world, sparking intense debates over community conduct, deplatforming, and the 'culture wars' within tabletop gaming. Memes regarding the ban typically highlight the friction between controversial internet personalities and corporate moderation.
