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

Taking MONTHS to fulfill one shitty book and its pointless tchotchkes. #winning
So no improvement from the first book then. I had a feeling Fat's talk of learning and improving was grifter nonsense, I jumped ship after the 1st campaign mess. Turns out the only real entertainment from CG is the e-drama aspect, and that's 100% free.
 
You guys really should stop doubting me.

You're only going to be sad.
not doubting, not sad. I charged back long ago. Now it's just a case of watching an infection go through the stages of sepsis.

  • Doomcock just making shit up has been openly talked about for years. If you're still looking at his videos as industry scoop it's your fault.
  • Sitting through a YellowFlash video is really hard. I think the only full stream I've watched was the one with EVS and Lofti the retard, with QuarterPounder shitting up the chat and then showing up drunk. 🌽
  • Drunk 3P0 seems to be targeting webcomics readers and parents. Still an easy sell given the FNT audience size.
  • People fighting over the "ethics" of not appreciating the 3rd season of a show called "Picard", while the main character Picard has been dead and replaced by a robot since the 1st season is very 2023.
Simple Zack has been sperging about Picard and Doomcock in his hugbox youtube community.


Right? They're picking fights all over the place. I think the angle they're going for is that they're the right-wing rebels fighting the right-wing establishment. How does Posobiec fit into this?
:stress:
I'm expecting great things from the GrifterVerse this year.
I watched Picard season 3. It's just more Nu-Trek. It is still the same shitty fucking series. All the people saying it's good are shills. And the fact people like Zack and Yellowflash are closing ranks whilst using the "don't ask questions, just consume product" falacy is very telling.

Zack, "at least they tried" isn't good enough when the result is still shit you shellshocked shitter. It's bad. If Picard were good I'd be more forgiving but I can't for the life of me understand why you, Drinker, Computing Forever, and more are defending what is in actuality more of the same shit as before, whilst lying and saying it 's an improvement which is blatantly false, unless your group had some kind of financial incentive to do so. Either way, you're being more retarded than normal.
 
First time comic creator, Fandom Menace good guy Drunk 3P0's Achromatic Chronicles is tracking to do better than Frog's latest comic book offering PLUS hardcover reprints of other books of his.
IIRC it was originally supposed to be a children's book or novel or some shit that he adapted into a graphic novel. And by "he" I mean blaccented nice guy Drunk3p0 and his "creative consultant". I've inquired once or twice if he actually wrote the original book or if a "creative consultant" did that too and never got a response. Of course, I didn't pay to ask the question, so maybe I was doing it wrong.

And the fact people like Zack and Yellowflash are closing ranks
I'm not sure if it's "closing ranks" or just different online personalities with their own reasons to try and effect a face-turn towards the media establishment. The CriticalDrinkers and the Nerdrotics are breathing very different air in 2023 than the Doomcocks and I'm sure they like it an awful lot and want more of it. I'm sure they do not want to be selling plushies to overweight white dudes and having humble bar meetups 4 times a year for the next 10-20 years. But something is definitely going on in this space with a split or pivot of some sort with the simp-bait females and the upper-echelon shilling mainstream content with special access. Despite the FNT/G+G cliques best efforts to extinct every sentinel species, a good canary in the coal mine is YellowFlash, and that dude has definitely been behaving lately like his blood oxygen level is dropping.

EDIT:
Something else to ponder before it slips, the recent dalliance between Sheila Aliens and one of the FNT orbiters, begun on last week's post-Kangz, let slip that their "Legion of Memers" is actually pure astroturf. It's not a legion and they're not "making memes", strictly speaking (maybe this is common knowledge amongst their "fans" but it's news to me). Legion of Memers is a 30-member volunteer street team doing show prep for FNT, essentially, that FNT then pretend are these wiley fans goofing on them. This makes sense as being something Gary might do since he was a big fan of the old O&A radio show and they're somewhat famous for having a core fan group that notoriously turned on them. Better to keep it under control and just fake it, I guess.

I thought that was all Pierry Chan? I dunno, I haven't watched any of that stuff in over a year.

I guess the adage is true. Never trust a junkie.

Also this drama is all gay and feels like high school. Granted, it's all about who can gift the most money from fans.

I will also grant that at least comicsgate produces an actual product.* That's better than paying to have your message read on air ad while Gary is tweaking.


*At the pace of a moving glacier.
 
So Richard Meyer/Yaboizack has spent the day sperging out about Scott Addams. Kinda funny, does he still live in small town texas where there are 40 beaners to every nignog?
Last i listened he went to New Yawk to get a tech Jawb. I am as curious as you, he might be doing more cuck porn under a pseudonym.

"Legion of Memers" are the Nerdrotic/G+G lobotomized and neutered answer to Warcampaign or the small Fandom Menace people before the TFM Griftlords ditched them on the side of the road like a bag of trash - a participatory outlet for fans of the show to engage with the media they're consuming. The textbook academic definition of a fan. Gary though learned from Frog's terrible and frankly stupid example - instead of exercising insufficient control over a group behind the scenes while publicly undersigning them because it makes you feel like a like a big shot or something, Gary and "the Fellowship" do the opposite and exercise strong control over the retarded meme group while officially distancing themselves from everything they do. The end effect does not seem to attract the best, they're kind of lifeless chuckling dollotrons compared to CG or even Rippaverse fans. They are the sort happy photoshopping googly eyes on a picture of their parasocial idoru in the thin hope of an asspat and are completely harmless, which I'm sure suits Gary just fine.

February count is in. Frog remains financially speaking the only relevant actor in CG for a second month in a row, constituting 39.7% of all funds raised across 80 active campaigns.
February 2023 brought in $292,006 in funding, which is less than the $342,958 of February 2022 or the $389,053 of February 2021. That said, this month was a slightly better month than January was, with Phil Diaz, SierraWhiskey, Billy Tucci, Nolan and Meyer (again) cracking five-digits in sales.

  • @Brother Maynard actually underestimated the FNT bump Nolan got - GoMK took in $10,139 over this month.
  • SierraWhiskey's Jon Malin-fanfic No Cover and Phil Diaz's Lost Pages 3 actually outperformed Billy Tucci's Zombie-Sama, Jimmy Reyes' Dragonborn and Rob Hunter's DETH RAIDER. A very concerning statement on the value of the "CG King" brand despite receiving heavy pushes from the Kings.

Nolan's ability to get on 'outside' shows like FNT, Shad, AZ, whoever else outside of CG has brought him more than that. That was his second FNT appearance, IIRC.


Which makes me wonder if genuine comic book pros with an actual resumé like Nolan, Tucci, Lopresti, Rocafort, etc... are making more money for their efforts now in their current CG state than if they had stayed toiling over at the mainstream.

Yeah 40 years in as a high level creative professional can open doors.

Meanwhile, Simple Zack notices his campaign actually performing and has no idea who is marketing it. It certainly isn't him. He turns to his community page hugbox like his personal Alexa:

edit: video is taken down now - Az and Nerdrotic had a stream with Chuck Dixon. They talked about Batman's dick then played some 10 year old Auralnauts Bane dubs.

lol looks like that Doomcock callout paid off. Coincidentally Yellowflash will be on Nerdrotic's show next week.

yep. With just this one account, I'm here to read your retard posts.
You're here. You're queer. We're used to it.

The fact that I have no idea who 90% or so of the people in that graphic are kinda drives home the thought that I've just lost interest in this whole business. Oh, well. I can only assume the CG pie will continue to shrink and @FROG will constitute an increasingly larger share of it.
Out of all of them, Art Thibert is the closest to an actual all time pro who still has something of a work ethic. Fulfilling in less than 1.5 years? Bless him!

He WAS a pro who inked practically everything in the 90s. But in the 2020s... 1.5+ years to remaster or reprint some old shit you could still buy for peanuts.

The majority of Comicsgate is some old reprinted shit or some old idea or failed property the creators have had for years. Just one of many reasons it's a joke.

They have definitely benefitted from the CG promotion. They're all fantastic artists, but $100.000+ campaigns aren't all that common in comics crowdfunding.
In Kickstarter for example, unless it's Brian Pulido or smut/porn, making around $40.000 in the comics section is considered a massive success.
That doesn't mean they will continue to be this successful. This is why most of them are either trying or will try to expand, without pissing off the autists within CG, obviously. No benefit to that.
All the people you mentioned, plus Shane Davis, have been pumping out quality work consistently, it would be a shame if they just faded out. I would imagine it's still better than working for DC/Marvel crumbs.

Dixon is a pimp. His promotion on Rippa saved his FENOM book on KS, of course he's out there hustling.
Do your own work for once, Zack. Don't just sit there and stare. :coom:

Things were running along quite well during 2022, with a long streak of growth compared to 2021. Then September hit and each and every "CG King" opted to launch their campaigns within a six week span all on Frog's show. The people who got on early like Lopresti, Strychalski and Andy Smith did very well, in some cases doubling their previous campaigns with Frog's support. Things seemed like a triumph. Then mid-way in something began to happen and support started to waver as campaign after campaign rolled out. By around mid-October the promotion machine began sputtering as it was clear Frog's audience had limits. Narwhal squeezed out something called "Narwhal Sharts" or whatever and it didnt do very good. Malin especially fucked around and especially found out. A lot of blame for this was placed on the IGG shadowbanning at the time, but the issue looks to be across the board ban or no ban. At first I figured this might be a temporary thing until the Comicsgate backers replenished their disposable income, but it's nearing half a year now and new people being introduced like Jimmy Reyes and Rob Hunter are not having an easy go of it.

Whatever the case, the high profile campaigns aren't due to be fulfilled until late this year and it begs the question of what is there for 'the movement' to do or talk about between then and now.

In other news, after sending his friend Organized Chaos to go take on Eric July, Forced Adversity/Actual Fandom has decided he will do his part in the war against "anti-fans" by dealing with Smiller (Dane you are a such a piece of shit for this lmao). One of Forced Adversity's fans has sent a warning to Smike that if the Injustice creator does not leave FA or Mark Brooks alone, he will hold him down with his powerful NFL quarterback body and (implied) force his penis in Mike's asshole. After the (implied) violent rape of Mike, this SJW then explicitly states he will then cover Smiller's face with his cum. The SJW also threatened to take CiderHype's 'backhole' as well, but those who know realize this is an empty threat.

1677638219509.png1677638442599.png
This brings a whole new definition to "Hey Mike"

Smike called out Forced Adversity and asked if he should be held accountable for this fan's conduct the way he holds people accountable for the actions of fans. In rebuttal, Forced Adversity blocked him. Not one to lose in a battle of self-immolation, Smiller then taunted his would-be rapist by comparing him to the dearly departed Uche, the FNT's own Harambe. Why Mike would do this I have no idea. Isn't Mike dependent on their good will?
