The second admin of wizchan was the eventual creator of [[8chan]], a [[disability|paraplegic]] named [[hotwheels|copypasta or "Hotwheels"]]. A parapalegic dwarf in a wheelchair who eventually got laid by an... emotional and abusive weeaboo with a [[devotee|fetish for disability]]. | The second admin of wizchan was the eventual creator of [[8chan]], a [[disability|paraplegic]] named [[hotwheels|copypasta or "Hotwheels"]].

Wizardchan is notable among cultural critics for being a central drama hotspot of Gamergate, a controversy surrounding a woman named Zoe allegedly cheating on her bf and sleeping with multiple game industry people, including her boss, to get her game greenlit, promoted, and well reviewed. | |||
One of the starting events of gamergate involved a thread on wizchan where users posted about Zoe Quinn's game Depression Quest when it was released in 2013. In the thread many users described how the depression portrayed was nothing compare to theirs as well, insulting the game, and comments that women can't experience depression like men do. The attitudes at the time showed how Wizardchan used to be more incel-friendly (perhaps even primarily incel) because there were comments about how women had an easier time finding sex. It wasn't like neo-Wizardchan of the late 2010s where the board purity-spiraled into LARPing about being purely [[asexual]] volcels. | One of the starting events of gamergate involved a thread on wizchan where users posted about Zoe Quinn's game Depression Quest when it was released in 2013.
