I think Frog is going to give her the Adam Post treatment if she gets sued. The bad thing about is that he will most likely lose Dale in the process but, stuff like this is most definitely going to hurt his brand if he rallies the troops to her defense.
I doubt very much FROG is gonna unperson Mandy over this. Nor am I expecting him to.
I
kinda see how Gemshock might have ripped off the Diamond character from Jailbait, but I also know
just enough about IP law to know it tends to get really autistic whenever its moved into a courtroom. Remember when a federal jury ruled that Katy Perry's
Dark Horse was a rip off of
Joyful Noise, but then an appeals court stepped in and completely reversed said verdict based on prior case law? IP law can get pretty complex. It's
never as simple as it first seems.
Ultimately, the similarity of the characters is not what makes Mandy gross here. I could really GAS if Mandy's crappy super hero is a rip off of another crappy superhero. There's already little originality in comics.
What's grossing me out is that I'm starting to get PTSD flashbacks to Testefy vs. Stu. Remember
that mess? That was a stupid shit show that
never should have happened.
STOP accusing people of being pedos with absolutely no fucking evidence whatsoever. It only hurts
your credibility. Christ almighty.
You think Frog's chat and customers are going to be all up in arms demanding justice for TidalWave Studios?
No, but FROG should probably step in and caution CG members against calling their enemies pedophiles whenever the fuck they feel like it. He doesn't need that shit right now. CG doesn't need that shit right now. It would be more to
his benefit, and the greater benefit of CG, than TidalWave. He could say that TidalWave guys are soyboy SJW faggots, but that it's wrong to accuse their book of being pedophiliac in nature when it's demonstrably not.
That's fair, is it not? Take the high road. He HAS dressed down CG members when they've said something monumentally stupid that would reflect badly on CG. Remember Jon's holocaust denial? He stepped in for that.
Also, call me a moralfag if you want, but I think it's the right thing to do in general. That said, I'm under no illusions that any of this crap is driven by morality. I can afford to feel that way because I've never really had a "side" here, and I'm definitely not in the grift game. I just call things like I see 'em. Regardless of who it pisses off.
If FROG glosses over the crap Mandy is pulling, it would only demonstrate to his enemies that he doesn't care what intellectually dishonest vile shit is said in the name of CG.
My point being they have a stronger case for defamation.
I concur. At least on the surface.
