These people are amazing. No matter what, they don't want to be left out which leads to everyone claiming victimhood of something and when someone is in their bullseye, they also need to have a reason for why they were personally victimized by that person. You see it all the time when someone gets cancelled, there is always a shitton of people that come out with "I met them once for three minutes five years ago and I could tell something was very wrong".
To me, it's more likely that Ooga didn't steal anything and Meg just wants to be part of the new in-crowd. This is not to say I don't think Ooga wouldn't steal, it's more that these are all garbage people.
I choose to believe he stole that shit, but it's honestly even funnier if you're right. First rape allegation should be coming in the next few days.

hahaha honestly Ekpeki fucking rules for fleecing cat ladies, taking their jewelry, making an entire institution bend over backwards for him, elect him to the board, have US senators vouch for him, and then acting offended when he gets called out.

Seems this happens with everything in the news. Its odd how people try to find a way to make more personal than it is. " Man this hits close to home, I served him a drink once ." I wouldnt be surprised if he stole little shit from the people housing him. Its hilarious that they are being held hostage by their own white guilt to even mention that it happened because they know their circle will crucify them if they suggest that the African they were housing might have stolen some items.

Ooga is doing his best to use their white guilt against them. Making them second guess their accusations and cutting ties with him. He will just keep playing the race card. Call them racist long enough they will start feeling uncomfortable and might possibly backtrack. Id laugh if ooga ends up getting an apology out of the SFWA/writers by just applying more racism accusations on them.

Ekpeki Responds to Allegations After Being Removed from SFWA Board

Award-winning author and editor Oghenechovwe Donald Ekpeki has responded to allegations raised by Erin Cairns about "unethical conduct," including submitting a story written by her under his name alone. In Ekpeki's response, he essentially says the story was co-written by both of them and he submitted it without her name due to "miscommunication and misunderstandings and assumptions on both sides from two people in not great situations." Ekpeki also says all the claims Cairns made were incorrect.

However, his argument doesn't hold up for me. I see it as semantics and legalese, trying to rationalize away what happened. For example, Ekpeki said in his report that "As for her name not being on the bi-line, even if that were true (which it isn't), it would not be theft, or even an attempt at theft, just an oversight, unless there was an intention to eventually publish it without her name on the bi-line." And he then says that the magazine he submitted the story to wasn't a Black voices publication because the magazine "caters to Africans and African diasporans. So there was no malfeasance there. She was eligible to be on the mag."

That claim is absolutely wrong. As a white person born in South Africa, Cairns specifically said she wasn't eligible to submit works to the magazine. And in screenshots Cairns shared, Ekpeki even stated the magazine was "an African exclusive space," indicating that he knew Cairns being a co-author on the submission would be problematic.

And as for this being merely an oversight, as Ekpeki claims, I know of no other writer who has ever made such an oversight with a co-author. Ekpeki even presents evidence that he submitted the story to other "prestigious, paying" magazines with her name on those submissions. If that's true, then how did the submission to this one Black voices magazine suddenly lack her name?

Despite Ekpeki's response, the totality of the evidence Cairns shared strongly indicates what happened wasn't an oversight.

And Cairns' report also doesn't exist in a vacuum. Since the report came out, other writers such as Suyi Davies Okungbowa and L. D. Lewis have gone on the record with issues they've observed or had with Ekpeki. And when Ekpeki was removed from the board of directors of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association on October 27, that came after the SFWA board heard evidence related to "multiple ethics complaints" against him, not merely Cairns' report.

And other writers continue to share their negative experiences with Ekpeki. For example, Dare Segun Falowo said that Ekpeki "got verbally caustic with me over my support for Nuzo Onoh's campaign to give writers in anthologies shared credit for awards, won by editors. He accused me of being part of a mob that was after his life, (using the access he had to me through a friendship forged over being Nigerian writers of spec fic living in Nigeria) to cause me distress over a single comment made online."

How we treat people matters. In Ekpeki's report, he talks about how he's published more than 120 writers in various anthologies and about all the work he's done to help authors across Africa. But I don't see these authors stepping up to defend Ekpeki's actions and behavior. To me, this speaks volumes. As do all the writers raising the issues they've experienced with Ekpeki.

As I said in my previous report, I wish I had known all this a long time ago. I apologize to the genre and to any writers who felt or feared that they couldn't raise concerns about Ekpeki's conduct with me because I'd previously supported his fundraising efforts.

Trust me, that will never happen again.

Ekpeki even stated the magazine was "an African exclusive space," indicating that he knew Cairns being a co-author on the submission would be problematic.
The lady IS African though. Libtards think a Guatemalan becomes an American the second they cross the Rio Grande but a woman born and raised in Africa will never be African because she doesn't live in a hut made out of feces.

:image_9253_m: Jason just threw Ooga under the fish van all the while taking zero responsibility for promoting someone like that. As we knew,100% complete pieces of shit all around. At the very least such this has been very entertaining season and I am looking forward to seeing where it goes.

If Patrick S. Tomlinson has taught me anything in life, it's that completely melting down and writing an off-putting rambling manifesto that 99% of people will assume is off-putting and rambling and ignore and 1% of people will read to validate their preconceived ideas of your guilt... Is always the best solution to any problem of reputation or personality.

An apt analogy would be if the entire town of Springfield were the monorail guys stealing from themselves. A scenario ridiculous enough to not require being expressed in human language before the SFWA administration was allowed to publicly demonstrate unprecedented and impressively poor decision making.
