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

[Pilule Noire]

The article shows it's really a shit situation when you have the microaggression side canceling from one end and the puritan no degeneracy people canceling from the other side. The students in the article aren't learning anything except how to rat on people and backstab their way to the top.. too bad they are woke, or they would be perfect CG'ers!

Agreed, makes you wonder how much talent is out there who would like to stand up against the Fartoo Leftards, but also don't want to be bracketed in with ComicsGate, because of how gay and lame ComicsGate is. Like they might be thinking OMG yuck, no way I would ever be caught dead in public with those decaying lumps of repellent, corporate excreta.

Take Mark Millar for example, he came down onto Youtube "like Jesus" (in his own words) to chat with Critical Drinker in July, the very same month that Young 'Eric July' Rippa let one rip right on CG's head. Let a massive one rip! And wafted the aromatic $3.7M output right up CG's nose.

Now @FROG is always boasting about how he's friends with Mark Millar and talks to Mark Millar in private and Mark Millar is 'with him' and Mark Millar is his friend.

But then why didn't Mark Millar want to be seen dead with Frog in public? Hmm!

And here's the kicker, Mark Millar ALSO went on PERCH, of all people! And even that idiot from Thinking Critical[ly] (sic)

That's how you know it wasn't just a Scottish fraternal thing, him coming on Critical 'Will Jordan' Drinker to Scotch up the internet. He also went on Perch, and that other dunce!

That's a snub! Someone break it to Frog, it's a snub. That's Mark Millar saying, YES I DO want to come on the net and talk to folks, but NO I do NOT want to talk to the Gay Frog Gang.

Frog to Mark Millar is like that girl who wants to bang you, but you don't really want to be seen with her, so you're like okay but only on the downlow. Frog is only on the downlow with his internet boyfriend Mark Millar.

So I'm thinking Frog, or any CGer, shouldn't get their hopes up about appearing on Millar's brand new, very own Youtube channel, Millar Time!

Only the true legends of comics, like Rob Liefeld, are allowed on there.

Meanwhile, Frog's brother is online chatting with Mister Pulitzer, Art Spiegelman! Mister I Won A Pulitzer for a Fuckin Comic, LMFAO.

But incredibly, this Van Sciver/Spiegelman interview is doing Well Read-like numbers, CG slumtown numbers. It has barely a few thousand views after more than a year, while Frog's nine billionth droning old man stream just hit like 7k viewers right out of the gate.

Shameful! But just goes to show, these Youtube viewers are all totally dumb idiots. There's no shame in being small on Youtube, and no pride in being big on it! It's largely populated by degenerate apelike subhumans, with no literacy, that's who it's made for.

Take Mark Millar for example,

Seems like Mark Millar would talk to almost anybody. He sold his Millarworld to Netflix for big money, and probably gets royalties from Old Man Logan and Civil War and their movie counterparts so has little to worry about losing income due to a certain degree of associations. He even appeared on some tiny 150 subs channel called "The Gamma Dames" a while back (hurr durr gamma, says somebody known to post here). However comics youtube outside the outrage mob after all is a small market where channels like Nerdette's #1 simp Robert Willing can pull Mark Waid and Dan Didio. Almost anybody though doesn't include FROG. It's a zero scum game. Doubt Millar would go full YE and go on EVS show, but who knows.

Is Mecha a lesbian? She is obessed with Brie Larson and now this...? Very suspicious.

She's obsessed over Larson because she legitimately thinks she's better looking than her, and Larson is always good clickbait. I think it has more to do with her being an mentally insane attention whore than her wanting to fuck Brie.



As to her sexuality, there shouldn't be enough alcohol in the universe for anyone to want to go there... regardless of orientation.

On the subject of babes, from the mouth of one came later some great insight into a topic near and dear to the CG community as of late: Adolf Hitler. Carmaxia - some dumb slut whose screen name is derived either from the planet she believes she's spiritually aligned with or the used car dealership chain where her dad bought the flood-damaged Ford Crew Cab pickup she was conceived in - gave a marble-mouthed, barely-comprehensible (but not wholly inaccurate) assessment of the Nazi leader's failures in prosecuting Germany's war in Europe whilst also contrasting it with America's own ambitions to empire-build.

If/when she gets doxed, do we call said dox a Carfax report?

How many miles and major accidents do you think she has?

Tbh the whole “younger than Brie Larson” thing never seemed that controversial to me. Fatties generally look younger than their real age because their faces stay big and puffy. (Until, yknow, eventually the kidneys fail and the weight comes off for good, forever. But that’s of no concern to us now.)

. Plus if they ever acknowledged the underground such as Crumb and his compatriots then comicsgate would have to acknowledge everyone has been able to make their own comics themselves since at least the late 1960's and without crowdfunding and multi year waits.

In the interest of fairness, it should be pointed out that fundraisers were not unheard of in the underground comix era. There were of course some differences, like Crumb's fans knowingly buying a sketchbook towards the end of making it so they could send their coomer hero to an idyllic French pre-industrial village whereas Comicsgaters, uh, less wittingly made it so Frog could achieve his dream of moving to a big house in New Jersey so he can smoke cigars by the pool and pretend he's Tony Soprano.

Even the expansion into toy lines was presaged when Harvey Pekar started shilling dolls made out of shit from the thrift store on David Letterman.


In other news,



@NasserRabadi13 and @Fathead have put their very public differences aside to launch Brutas the Badass 2; however the Nasser hype machine, such as it is, does not seem to have not come through for this momentous outing.

And while that may be bad, it at least is going better than Ro's effort to tap into his politicized regular 1,700 liveviewer WC streams with Crash the System #1, which includes a cover with Justin Trudeau trampling an old woman to death on horse.

Neither campaign is blacklisted.

 

[The Coon]

Looks like Frog G's campaign was closed automatically by IGG. Anybody can forget to tick a box, and that goes double for some of the smooth brains in CG. If it is true IGG purposely did this and continues to do this, I think CG as a whole is fucked. The big campaigns won't get that bump for when they(finally) go to print. The smaller/untested creators will suffer because they won't be able to sell their over runs on IGG like a web store. Also, I can't tell you how many times I have waited until a smaller/untested creator was shipping before I decided to back their campaign.

Fucking hell. S0meone get @FROG some ointment.

You've been fucking passed over for Rob Liefeld! Man. Learn to draw feet, Ethan!

Holy shit I haven't laughed that hard at CG in awhile.

Much needed, if true. No more forever campaigns. Finish your campaign, make the book. Hope they also prevent subsequent funders until prior campaigns get fulfilled.

I bet Kickstarter is starting to look pretty good to EVSCG right about now.

Either that or they can do like Mandy Summers and copy Rippa’s method of selling books.

I really wonder what the effects of having a movement's flag-bearer and friends being several years late on million-dollar campaigns while running multiple new campaigns has had on ICG's attitude towards the whole thing? It certainly didn't make them look good.

I dont think IGG cared at first, because the multiple other campaigns were still making them money. Fast forward to now, some of those multiple campaigns are late as fuck and they are prob getting bombarded by complaints from backers and maybe from twitter activist saying "see they are bad people and they are scam artist". Also, some of the campaigns arent making as much money as the ones in the past(I think due to backer base dwindling and the shit economy that is only getting worse). IGG maybe weighing the whole "profit vs appeasing woke twitter" and warming up more to the latter(my guess is they think they will overtake Kickstarter by doing this, but that is pure speculation).

CG had better hope all it is is IGG sick of EVSCG flagrantly violating the rules. If it's a payment processor than they're fucked.

I doubt it is, EVSCG hasn't spit in the right kindof peoples faces.

Processing refunds costs IGG money and goodwill. It's considered a financial loss for them too. Then there's the damage to their brand only strengthening their competitors who (right or wrong) look correct now in their blocking these same campaigns altogether years ago.

So I havent checked out this thread in like years.

What was IVS doing that annoyed IGG?

What was IVS doing that annoyed IGG?

We're just speculating that it may have something to do with blatantly violating IGG's rules about running multiple campaigns while still having unfulfilled older campaigns up and being several years late multiple times after swearing up and down that wouldn't happen again.

It seems very odd for IGG to suddenly reverse course now after years of thumbing their nose at the woke mob who tried to cancel them before.

Thank you.

Is the woke mob still a thing? I figured with twitter melting down and the general decline of comic sales, with the rise of manga I d think the heat would die down.

Definitely not dead yet. Near-death maybe but that's when they'll become most dangerous as the desperation to remain relevant kicks in. They were soooooo close after all.

Has any campaign other than @FROG's been shut down?

Frog’s campaign wasn’t shut down. It was a book called Frog G that didn’t go into inDemand because Indiegogo closed the campaign down after it ran its course.

My mistake, but the question stands (although given it's not even Van Sciver himself the issue seems more irrelevant); has any other campaign been cut short?

 

[northstar747]

I m thinking more along the meta "culture war" aspect. I think it was Ya boi zack talking about how it was a series of SJW's getting their friends in.

Then using the twitter mob tatics to flex and avoid all criticism.

The issue is the Woke ideas dont sell. So if frog and zack can sell stupid ideas about gaint monkeys and space frogs how hard is it.
