Did you ask Liam if you could use his name as an integral part of your marketing strategy?

Just remove it and be done with it. The "Korean Mangr" does more than enough to reference Carnage Koala and is almost funnier on it's own. Naming him is like explaining the joke.
It's important to remember that Liam lives for this shit. Nothing makes him angrier than someone who isn't willing to roll around in the mud with him.

Basically there were three complaints made sequentially:

1. He used Liam's name to promote the Korean Mangr stretch goal. Liam might have a leg to stand on here, from a policy standpoint, so Jon basically give in.
2. Jon changed to "A fat guy from Australia." Liam still complained. This is where it absolutely becomes stupid and petty, IMO.
3. At some point he used the name "Orange Tyrant" which Liam claims he the copyright on (prove it, fuckstick).

It doesn't matter anymore, because he changed it to "a fat guy from Australia" (live, on air) and Liam still threw a shitfit by filing another complaint.

There is absolutely no way Liam has the exclusive legal right to be the only fat tub of lying shit in that former penal colony. None.

I know you don't like Jon, and that's perfectly fine... I think he can be a dork too. But let's not claim Liam is some victim here. He's a crybaby faggot who is doing the same shit he always does.

I'd agree with you but for the fact I bet you $5 he'll STILL complain about "Korean Mangr." You are absolutely never allowed to make any sort of joke at Liam's expense, however obscure, without him flagging you, or threatening to go to "the Crown," or some stupid-ass shit like that. Fuck Liam. I'm shocked anybody even wants to debate this point.

Also, Liam kills puppies. maybe.

This.

It could also be TOS violation, I suppose. Which wouldn't necessarily have anything to do with the law. Given CDA 230, that's the more likely explanation.

What's interesting is I've long held that IGG isn't any better or worse than KS, and this kind of demonstrates a point in favor of that. CG still insists KS is the anti-Christ though.

We came to an agreement and signed a contract. I think things will work out better this time. We both want to give the fans the sequel they deserve and asked for.

Again, I like this move where you put aside differences in an effort to please fans. I didn't buy the first one but I'm considering backing this one out of respect for this reunion (my finances went to absolute shit a few months ago and I'm just now able to consider backing projects again).

Thanks very much man. I finished up draft 2 this morning. It's coming along well.

Yeah, but @Mister Dongs is 100% right. In today's market, manga über alles. Just apply the Ricky Bobby aphorism: "If you're not first..." They're not fire selling that shit to make room for Cyberfrog and whatnot.

SJWs and anti-SJWs fling shit at each other on the Internet, and some based ninja, who just does not give a single solitary fuck about any of this... rushes in the room, lops everybody's head off, and then steals the keys to the kingdom. I dunno why I find that funny, but I do. It probably has to do with the fact it really makes both sides look like idiots. Twice as many factions to poke fun at.

It's cathartic because the based ninja in question represents a honest creative paradigm and his overwhelming success stands as a testament to the idea that condescendingly masquerading ones personal ideals as entertainment will never surpass...genuinely just trying to entertain people. Go figure. It's something we were already fairly certain about around here, but the ninja provided sweeping statistical confirmation.
Granted, manga has it's own issues to tackle. There's definitely a problem when your average mangaka is a manic ball of stress with three hours of spare time per week and the posture of a jumbo shrimp. But these are the results of societal issues that are frankly way above my paygrade to resolve.

It's even better once you know that there were people like Adam Warren in the early 90s saying that manga will be the next big thing that could take over the market, but they were ignored or treated as loons. A decade later, Marvel crawled back to them to have mangaverse and other manga inspired books made, trying to cash in on what they saw as a fad. And now here we are two decades later, where once tiny manga importers are growing, make good money off comics, and have better future prospects than Marvel's and DC's comic book divisions. The big two meanwhile are loss leaders among companies subsidized by two media conglomerates, and will be put on bare-bone life support when the superhero film popularity will wane.

Things will get even funnier if European comics succeed in similar way, and American comics will become the number three not only worldwide, but domestically too. Right now European books are in similar situation manga was in early 2000s. French appear to be more serious about expanding their market than Japanese, so I think it's likely to happen in about a decade or two. There are already some entertaining cases, like "Cimmerian." It's Ablaze's translation of European Conan comics, and it sells about the same as or better than Marvel's "Conan" books. That's in spite of Ablaze being handicapped by inability to put "Conan" on the cover and next to no marketing efforts.

That said, it bears repeating that CG kinda has the opposite problem. So many of them are lazy fucks. They don't need to be nearly as extreme as Japan, but damn people... stop watching skanks pee on livestreams. Even Japan doesn't spend that much time being unproductively degenerate, and they're notorious for making the weirdest pr0n you've ever seen.

To most big names in comicsgate comics are little more than youtuber merch. Many comicsgate followers were cape comic fans who would buy comics regardless of quality only because there was Batman or whatever else on the cover. Now they are Ethan or Malin fans, who will buy comics regardless of quality only because their favorite streamer sells or promotes them.

To some Texas Autism news, it seems like years of YBZ recording videos in the parking lot of mcdonalds around the country had caught up to him and he will be ordered by doctor to clean up his eating, because his acid reflux coughs are getting over 9000...

I'll save peepo here 10 minutes:

  • Simple Zack is worried that his upcoming doctor visit will result in a diagnosis to stop living off reheated salt and gristle from Walmart.
  • He has stopped watching comics youtube and moved on to "comics tiktok", presumably a much better fit for his crippling ADHD.
  • He is mad that Comics Drake is criticizing the new woke LOTR spin-offs and Bendis' Naomi for being dogshit and not getting cancelled for it like Comicsgate, himself, Clownfish and Perch(?) did. He complains that Comics Drake's scathing critiques of Naomi are 1 for 1 identical with his criticisms of Riri Williams. I don't recall Comics Drake calling anyone a cumdumpster but whatever the case, Meyer is baffled in why they're being treated differently. Maybe the war against cancel culture has finally been won?
  • Generic America Chavez rant from 2018 followed by unsolicited, unqualified advice towards Comics Drake.

EDIT: HOT UPDATE


Simple Zack, after years of proclaiming that nobody wants digital comics and refusing to offer a digital option to his customers to this day, has entered day two of deranged malding over Comixology making changes to their user interface.

It's been previously mentioned in the thread about the dramatic resurgence of Warcampaign, with perhaps the most amazing redemption arc in internet history. If you're unaware Ro Kabir Kumar of the Warcampaign has been hitting the streets of the trucker protest in Ottawa Canada and producing hours of footage of himself walking the streets of the protests.

LIVE RAW FOOTAGE Feb 18 2022 WC Ottawa Canada Trucker Freedom Convoy 2022

​

This new focus of content has led to tens of thousands of new subscribers and over two million views, with an explosion of channel growth not seen since Doug Tennapel began covering Trumpian politics. This new content has led to the former Comicsgate group receiving a swathe of new fans and some in the most unlikely of places.

WAR CAMPAIGN covering OTTAWA CANADA TRUCKER FREEDOM CONVOY 2022

​

The peoples champion, The Comic Book Hut, is clearly impressed with what he see's in this video from several days ago. Describing Warcampaign as "redeeming themselves" and doing great work covering the trucker protests. Hut further goes on to praise Ro for being "personable" and speaking to a variety of individuals on the streets and expresses his sympathies to Ro for losing his job during the coverage.

CHASING CLOUT: WAR CAMPAIGN OTTAWA CANADA TRUCKER FREEDOM CONVOY 2022

​

In a second and more recent video the Hut continues his adulation for the Warcampaign crew and continues to note the explosion of growth the channel is experiencing. Taking two simple screenshots from each of the Hut's videos shows just how fast Warcampaign is growing in a mere few days.

wc1.PNG

The Hut's first video, Warcampaign 26.4K subs

wc2.PNG

The Hut's second video, Warcampaign 38.2K subscribers​

The Hut claims in his second video that Warcampaign's success has become so unignorably obvious that FROG himself was spotted in a recent live chat attempting to offer an olive branch to the group, hence the title of the video "CHASING CLOUT" and comments on that Ro and the Warcampaign now have a larger viewing audience and influence on YouTube than FROG and Comicsgate (at least for now.)

Truly 2022 is signaling the end of times as we bear witness to one of the most stalwart critics of Warcampaign, The Peoples's Champion, turn around and become one of their biggest fans and heap praise upon the group.

We can only wonder what further madness we might see in Comicsgate 2022: The Year of Forgiveness. (coined by Mister Dongs.)

I'm sure that almost all of the viewers of these videos don't know the context and history of the channel name, and that it may not be a great name for a channel covering a protest desperate to maintain the image that they are entirely peaceful. There's a word for that, bad… obstetrics? Something like that.
