The death of Rudy Ferretti is weighing heavy, but in a different way. The signs had been there for a very, very long time, and while I don't believe this individual is responsible for the demons, he is responsible for making things worse:

It's time we talk about Walter Day. 1/?

Walter was, and still is, an advocate for the trading cards that he has been producing. Heck, I have two myself. But you know who else had two, even when we knew what kind of person he was?

The aforementioned Rudy. 2/?

If there's anyone in the community that should have spoken out or taken a harsher stance, it's the founder of that community. You can say that's not Walter's style, and I would argue that still makes him an enabler. 3/?

Now that's not to put everything at Walter's feet. There are other members of the classic community who empowered Rudy, and they should all be held personally accountable for giving him a platform, but it was Walter's that started it all. 4/?

This does not touch other accusations that have been laid at his feet. I know there's many, but those I do not have as much direct information on. I feel that those that do may chime in here. However, I am now absolutely ashamed of my work with Walter. 5/5
