If this is the whole story and I have no issue believing it is, this is just plain unacceptable. How fitting that one of the latest releases from Black Library is called Soulless Fury. Could be considered foreshadowing for well deserved fury about the soulless lip-service of a greedy corporation without any shred of integrity. I'd say I'm disappointed, but I'm not, I pretty much expected the last official statement of GW to be a completely empty PR stunt, but it's still sad to see my excpectation seems to have been right.

GW should not have removed an author who directly challenged those members of the community who are homophobic, racist and fascist.

Pretty poor example to be setting

What happened to ‘you’ll not be missed’?

Games Workshoo review your own policies and re-instate this author.

Really disappointed in the action of GW. Please reverse it or reimburse Thomas to show that you really mean the values you been recently posting about. Thank you.

Disgusting behaviour sacking of a man for standing up for what is right!!

For a company that recently posted a statement claiming there was no place for fascists, homophobes or racists in the community, it is shocking and very disappointing to see someone fired for standing up against fascism. Many people accused Games Workshop of of hollow “virtue signalling” when the statement was posted, and at the time I disagreed with them. But as they say, actions speak louder than words, and your actions have shown your words were hollow. If you’re more concerned about keeping the business of the racists, fascists and homophobes, as it would appear from these actions, perhaps it’s time to switch my hobby spending to FFG, instead. If you truly believe the statement you made recently in support of BLM, you will rehire him, and publicly apologise and condemn the behaviour he stood up against.
