Diseased #Comicsgate - The Culture Wars Hit The Funny Books!

3rd Quarter Review of the Nerdette vs. @FROG debate:

Your half time show is a concert by the female "shrewcore" group Rent Free. They will be performing a mercifully abridged version of their new single "Ethan is dumb (Reeeeeeee)."

Thank you ladies. That was absolutely unlistenable. On to the show:

- EVS and Nerdette get into an argument about Nerdette claiming the Punisher is a hate symbol while taking money from a company making Punisher wallets and saying they're cool. EVS calls that hypocritical. Nerdette retorts that she would have gotten the Punisher wallet regardless, but she got to pick another, and picked Batman. She also says she only claimed that the Punisher symbol has been co-opted by hate groups, and that she doesn't actually think it's a hate symbol.

- Quick cut back to Ernst: Somebody in chat points out that Ernst admitted to gay opping with Hut. Nerdette says she'll believe it if she sees that Doug admitted to it.

- And now we're back to the wallet: EVS claims that the manufacture did not "notice" Nerdette. and sponsors thousands of people, and then she lost her sponsorship because her video views are far out of wack with her 63k subscriber count. This leads to Nerdette whining about how she actually has great engagement. EVS says that unless she's copying Johnny Depp content, her videos usually get less than 1K views. Apparently, at some point after pulling their sponsorship, Nerdette went off on the wallet manufacturer.

- Somebody points out in chat the TUG got a huge boost in subs from Johnny Depp content. Both EVS and Nerdette agree on this, but EVS notes that the wallet manufacture doesn't care about Johnny Depp content and that's why she lost a comic book themed wallet sponsorship.

- More about EVS saying D.C. was going to go out of business in June 2021. EVS states that the sale in June of 2021 to Discovery is evidence of their dire financial situation and that his predictions aren't always 100% spot on. Basically, I think he's saying that instead of going tits up, it turned out there was a divestiture by AT&T, and sale of the entire WB division.

- Massive dead air as Nerdette tries to go look for a "gotcha" on Ethan. She pulls up an article concerning "female underlings" at D.C.. Ethan claims that a lot of low level female employees at D.C. got to stay while many other people were fired. Apparently, Nerdette takes issue with Ethan saying females are now in more positions of power at D.C.. She doesn't articulate her point very well here, so I'm not 100% sure WTF is going on. It doesn't seem to go anywhere anyways.

- Nerdette claims that Ethan cites his inside sources every six months and is wrong.
- Nerdette: "How many times do you have to be wrong?"
- EVS: "How many times do you have to be inconsistent?"

1660849822850.png


- EVS claims that Nerdette hangs out with Force Adversity and other SJWs. Nerdette says no, and she "hates that dude." EVS also brings up Justsomepedo, and claims that he's abandoned Nerdette. Nerdette says that she just hasn't had him on for a while. Admittedly, EVS doesn't do a very good job naming names, but she does seem to tacitly admit she likes JSG.

- Nerdette: "You're always wrong." EVS: "I'm never wrong."

- Nerdette claims that EVS made Mike S. Miller take down his "Pride is a sin" anti-gay thing back in 2019. EVS says he never did that. Nerdette says she "was there." Some quick Twitter research shows that EVS "chastised" Mike for that, but I dunno if that's the same thing as making him take it down. Presumably Ethan would say there's a distinction.

1660850577190.png


- Discussion about ESG. Nerdette does not believe wanting to combat climate change is left-wing. EVS argues that some of the proposed solutions are.

- In a somewhat spicy take, EVS straight up says climate change isn't happening. He mocks Nerdette for thinking "Jim Lee will never be fired from D.C., but California will be under ten feet of water in three weeks." That could very well be a strawman, but I LOL'd just the same.

- Nerdette says she never said that, and she doesn't know enough about climate change, but doesn't think it's bullshit. Says FROG is anti-Science.

- Back to the D.C. thing: Nerdette says that she absolutely thinks D.C. wanted to abandon their own digs, and move in with Crunchyroll. As near as I can tell, Nerdette is trying to hammer home the point that EVS was wrong in that D.C. didn't go out of business, while EVS is emphasizing the major downgrade they endured last year, so he wasn't completely wrong. Is this moving the goalposts? Maybe a little, sure. I think where Nerdette might be screwing up here is in implying, if not outright saying, that D.C. isn't experiencing financial hardship. As if to say that because they didn't go completely tits up as EVS said, their situation must be diametrically opposed to EVS's prediction. That doesn't logically track though. They could be both alive, and in trouble.

- EVS points out that D.C. does not have autonomy over at WB, and do not get to pick where they stay (I believe this). Says if Nerdette believes that D.C. made the call to move from a beautiful three story office, to hotdesking, and not WB, she's stupid.

- Nerdette says "nobody said they chose it." EVS said "You just did!" He's right.

- Nerdette takes issue with the fact that EVS says D.C. was "evicted" from their previous space. Says eviction only occurs when you can't pay. That's actually wrong, but more importantly she doesn't seem to grasp that EVS is saying that WB made the call and this has nothing to do with the property owner because D.C. is basically insulated from dealing with property holder as a subsidiary of WB. D.C. had to GTFO, ostensibly against their wishes, on WB's orders. EVS goes on to say that the money D.C. is bringing in can't justify that space anymore in WB's eyes.

This part made my head hurt, because instead of just saying EVS was wrong in predicting D.C.'s demise in 2021,, she overextends her hand by trying really hard to depict D.C. in a good financial light. EVS also mentions that two-thirds of their staff is gone, but Nerdette never offers any reply to this.

- Nerdette tries to claim "hot desking" is more expensive than having a three story building to oneself. Without evidence. EVS basically just scoffs.

- Vikkiverse is chimping in chat throughout all this and tries to throw Nerdette a lifeline by saying the move is just because of COVID. Nerdette willingly takes up said lifeline. EVS says that's a cope. Vikki also parrots that a planned move isn't an eviction, but also doesn't get EVS' point that D.C. had no choice in the matter. They didn't plan it. WB did. One could argue EVS shouldn't have used the term eviction, but it's pretty fucking close in terms of practical outcome.

- Nerdette: "Everybody is wrong except Ethan." Actually, I would argue that everybody claiming D.C.'s publishing arm is doing just fine is absolutely delusional compared to Ethan. He's undoubtedly right on this one. D.C. comic sales are shit. Where is the revenue?

- EVS asks Nerdette if D.C. told WB that they wanted to stay at their old office, could they have done so. Nerdette initially says "I'm sure," but then quickly changes that to "I have no idea, I'd have to check." (PROTIP: they couldn't).

- Nerdette asks if CG isn't a hate group, why do they not have problems with big names in their community "hating on queer people." She then plays a video of JDA saying "Homosexuality is a sin." Of all the stupid shit that JDA has said over the years that she could have brought up, she goes with this. I barely have the words. Yes, Tristen, some people believe homosexuality is a sin. It's considered such by the official books in all three abrahamic religions. That's positively miquetoast by JDA standards. Or any standards.

1660857189490.png


Also, JDA is not a "big name in CG." . Hell, people in this thread give him shit for thinking he is all the time. @robo6 would probably slap the shit out Nerdette for this shamefur dispray.

In any event, EVS notes the inconsistently with her giving him shit over what happened with SMiller, and now bringing this up. Says he's still not going to give his own personal views on homosexuality, and points out that JDA's view is a legitimate Christian view (fair).

Vikki tries to salvage this clusterfuck by Nerdette:
1660858194917.png


- Nerdette: "Why do you make fun of people with pronouns?" EVS: "Pronouns are stupid."
1660858111232.png


- With 30 minutes left, they're apparently going back to Spiderman being gay. I'm gonna save that for tomorrow.

TL;DR: EVS won this quarter, hands down. Nerdette doesn't seem to understand how large corporations with multiple subdivisions work very well. She's dumb, and her voice was somehow even more obnoxious than usual. Also, I can't help but notice she did come across as awfully SJW-like near the end. Instead of critiquing EVS like we would, she started to critique him like a Tumblrette would.

Elapsed time: 1:20:00.

I hope you get the gay conversion therapy you need.
A personal attack with no basis in reality, how droll Johnny boy. It's time to grow up and realize people are allowed differing opinions. No one needs you to shove your beliefs in our face. Stop acting like the rainbow retards you hate.

Corinthians 13:11 — King James Version (KJV 1900)​

Being a resident JDA hater here, I agree, Nerdettes argument here is completely retarded, very easy low hanging SJW fruit. JDA can be criticized for a lot more things than his(and many many others) beliefs when it comes to the fags. Such as his history of switching sides at the drop of a hat, or even better the fact that he is the most delusional arrogant asshole in CG. Also, speaking of delusions, I dont even think JDA is delusional enough to truly believe that he is one of the "big names" in CG. I will say(if begrudgingly) that he is also not in the CG slums either, but more of the CG middle class.
That JDA guy sounds super based. Glad he's a big name in CG.
Case in point in regard to my delusional arrogant asshole claim.

Will Fraga try to rap for Wesley Snipes? Will Jon Malin be brought on to provided much needed, ahem, color commentary?
These and other questions will be answered on August 23rd.
Does this mean Black Flag is finished, or has Dan and his weed resin caked brain forgotten that he has one of the most over due campaigns in CG again? Didnt he say something about not streaming until the book was finished? The lateness on Black Flag is approaching Cecil levels of ridiculousness. I think one of the reasons there isnt as much backlash towards Dan as there is towards Cecil is that Dan does seem to be a genuinely nice guy, but if he keeps dragging ass, even that good grace will start to wear thin.
 
Two things:
1. Anna has actually been helping out at Vic's table whenever he is at signings in California since last year. So, she has that going for her.
As for Venti and Blaise, your point is valid.
2. I am also critical of having these ComicsGate-adjacent YouTubers at an anime convention when their primary content has NOTHING to do with anime and/or manga. They should just make their own convention instead of hijaking one unrelated to them. At least Geeks & Gamers created a new subdivision on their website and a new YouTube channel called "Weebs + Waifus" that will cover anime and manga now. If Jeremy was smarter, he would have had that crew cover the convention top to bottom (interview some of the guests, vendors, The Leighs, and record the panels instead of just a convention floor tour). As much of a sperg that he is, having Cody Baier and Anime Outsiders there would have been more on point.
How in the nine hell's is Jeremy going to talk about with anime. He seems to be the kind of normie that watches Akira, Ghost I'm The Shell, Cowboy Bebop or that nerve insulting Alita Battle Angel. Stick to your capeshit and go masturbate to your orange Waifu Assoka. Leave the real weeb stuff to the real fans either that team up with the #AnimeRight.
 
The Ballers Side Show, which is made up of 4 comic creators, is currently streaming and telling stories from the past. Are they telling stories that involve comics? Nope, Mandy is sharing a story about catching someone fucking a chicken. "Back Gemshock!" :cryblood:

He's not. It is mostly that Mexican guy Ivan with the occasional guest. Pretty sure Jeremy hasn't even appeared in a single video. The channel also seems to be pretty much ignored by everyone, at least to this point. There's no video on the channel with five thousand views and most are below 1000 views. Maybe it'll take off at some point, maybe not. I think the original channel was demonetized, that might account for some of the lack of visibility.

For whatever reason the Sports War channel is in fact doing quite well, but not so much this one, at least yet.
 
Comics are not saved. The SJWs have won. Good Job Rippa, you loser.

Anytime Shane puts on a costume or a silly hat it's unbearable.

Does this mean Black Flag is finished, or has Dan and his weed resin caked brain forgotten that he has one of the most over due campaigns in CG again?
Did Fraga draw this while sitting on over $200k? Or is he just promoting it? Either way it's weird and Im curious if he was involved with this project if it influenced the delays for Pineapple Perception.

I'd definitely tune in to see Wesley Snipes sitting on a CG related livestream. Maybe he'll start hitting on Mandy Summers or something. Maybe Anna will go work the next booth he sets up at an Anime convention. Will he end up debating Nerdette Newsstand?

Ive seen this advertised on twitter and it looks like Snipes getting a chance to do Blade without getting sued. He must really be hurt not being asked to be part of the MCU Blade coming in the next year or two. Be curious to see if he gets asked about following Keanu's lead and if that was a factor.

He's not just blaming the unexpected volume of sales for delaying shipment but more importantly it was his website failing on launch day that created an "unfair advantage" for some buyers.

If only someone could have forseen Day 1 failures of a bespoke e-commerce site and tried to warn him that it could be fatal to the credibility of a startup... I tried.

Edit: I'm still watching but there's some fuckery with his timelines already. He just said that even without the unprecedented demand that this was always going to be a 75-day pre-order and they're only halfway through that. If he was always going to ship to everyone at once instead of on a first-come basis that means late-September was always going to be best-case for beginning fulfillment and he's been lying all along about August.

Oh hell now he's blaming the paper shortage. I'm NostraSaidNoOneEverDamous.

wow he can't even give an ETA now. That means indefinite.

I watched some of that JDA guys videos and he sounds less based and more of a Christian SJW.
I watched some of that JDA guys videos, and there was this fat greasy Italian faggot on that kept talking about wanting to fuck children.

Suffice it to say, I didn't find it very appealing and I decided to watch something else instead.

I heartedly recommend this 10 hour video of paint drying over having to listen to any Youtube show or video involving Vito.


When you finish that, here's 10 hours of grass growing.


JDA can be criticized for a lot more things than his(and many many others) beliefs when it comes to the fags.
"Homosexuality is a sin" is something that little old ladies that meet at IHOP after church on Sundays would say without so much as a second thought. It's so benign, that Nerdette is the most basic of bitches for even thinking this is an own against @TheCosmicWarrior, @FROG, or CG at large. The only people that would resonate with is lefties and militant atheists who are already predisposed to hate CG anyways. Debates are generally designed to sway opinion one way or the other, and this pretty clearly didn't and won't.

I know "everybody I don't like is an SJW" is a meme CG critics like to use against CG, and there's a lot of times it's apt, but Nerdette didn't do them any favors here with this sorry ass display. Indeed, as FROG insinuates, she might actually be an SJW. Trying to shame him for making fun of Twitter pronouns was also dumb AF, and likely just further reinforced that perception in people's minds.

I'd like to believe that when Nerdette gave her examples of why CG is a "hate group," Vikki got up from her computer and started banging her gigantic fivehead against her empty broken refrigerator out of sheer frustration with Tristen. Vikki would have at least gone straight for the holocaust denial thing, and that would have forced FROG to point out that was indeed a thing, and that he publicly gave JDA shit over it. Having a holocaust denier as a member is far more deleterious to CG because, inter alia, there's a exists strong intersectionality between support for Israel, and American conservatives who are tired of political correctness (i.e. AIPAC). I have to imagine FROG isn't oblivious to this.

Instead, Nerdette handed CG a W by turning into the very embodiment of a left-wing CG critic, and not a conservative, centrist, or apolitical one.

TL;DR: Tristen is dumb, has heavily filtered selfies (read: probably fat), and I would not have sex with her. 0/10. GB2 Tumblr and/or the kitchen. Tits or GTFO. Etc, Etc, Etc.

God bless you @Captain Manning. Writing up that behemoth was more than I could bear.
You're welcome. I still gotta finish out the final quarter (last 30 minutes) sometime over the weekend. I got sidetracked with the Mignogna and Keffals shit.

BTW, I'm not in hurry to do that again. I've never tried it, but I think writing a summary of a Liam Grey stream might be considerably less painful.

For fuck's sake @FROG, please pick a less obnoxious opponent for your next debate. This was ear rape.

I didn't choose her, she insisted multiple times that I "debate" her because she knows a lot about comics, rather than the dummies (her friends) that I usually agree to talk to.

Seemed like good content for the day I was closing out the first 30 days of REKT PLANET, and it sure was. The campaign earned $35K while efapping it. :heart-full:
