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

[Captain Manning]

Clippaverse is the Masterson/Riley "parody" company btw.

EDIT: Someone mentioned in the Juju thread that the disgusting pigman in the picture is actually Riley.

It is. The parody was invented by Riley. I think he actually sells the shirts.

Also, it gets funnier...

Now, July could be talking out his ass here, but I kinda believe it. It fits the stereotype, at least.

Both Riley and his retarded furry pet thot Mint also happen to be JDA's new besties.
They've been hanging out in his chat the last couple of weeks and he's been kissing their asses.

But seeing as this is the CG thread, and not the site at-large, am I still expected to dislike the black comic book guy the most?

I must tell you, I'm finding that exceedingly difficult to do. People like Masterson, Vito, and their orbiters are just so despicable.

 

[That Other Dude's Persona]

It fits the stereotype, at least.

He looks like a mix between Digibro and Vito, it's uncanny.

 

[Mecha II]

Rippa earned this kind of autistic attention. It all started when he called on his fans to gatekeep the "Rippaverse". This is what he wanted, and he's for sure going to clean up on Superchats while this fat autistic retard goes around smelling up the Funkopop shops waiting around on the attention he ordered. Also Rippa mentioned he's got armed security. For what? Theft? No one is going to steal Isom #1 and sell it on the street. He's not Jim Jones yet.

I can only guess the "Armed Security" is one of his homies he's hookin' up with a "Job".

Do not put him in a self-defense situation.

Why can't I dislike both and enjoy their retarded antics as they fight each other?


Back in page 777 of this thread, I more or less said the same thing to Geekthulu when the above now little remembered event happened. This was when some insane leftist comic shop owner named Mike Wellman was sending unhinged threats along the lines of him fistfucking's Frog mouth to death, which was met with elite CG sperg Panboy plastering printouts of the DMs all over Wellman's comic shop. Geekthulu did some handwringing that this opened the door to a new, dangerous level of escalation. My position that was that while this conduct would be considered unthinkable from the youtube skeptic community, this was fairly run of the mill stuff for the much more storied, decades-long world of comic book fan group autism from which Warcampaign hails. That pushing back on a deranged sped that could not be reasoned with was actually Panboy doing his job for once. This regrettably puts you in the position of Geekthulu.

As for Rippa and his 'Rippatards' (the increasingly accepted term for his conditioned audience), far from his gay and ignoble goal of defending him and his product from criticism, Rippa's fans seem to serve to escalate every conflict he gets into, fueled by an unflappable belief in his ability to deliver the final and conclusory "find out" part of the "Fuck around, find out" mantra they bleat endlessly when flagging critics' channels Jarbo-style, despite July having everything to lose and nothing to gain from tangling with Dick Masterson's B-team of obese retards. The ISOM ministry came off as willing to settle the TM suit amicably at first, but that was before Rippa's fans started review-bombing every mention of the bible school that they could. Before, you and I were talking about how stupid it would be to pursue lawfare against Vito and co. instead of just continuing to make millions on his comics. Now that Riley's actually shown up at his super secret warehouse with his logo on the front, the only way to escalate from here is to kill Riley.

I ask, does it really serve July's best interests when his supporters start encouraging him to get into a premeditated murder case instead of making millions of dollars? Or flagging down and trying to dogpile everyone who disagrees with him? I get the hate Vito and Masterson receive, but glossing over that this is all a result of July and his fandom's policy of antagonism and "monetizing da haters" to all forms of criticism their way (after half a decade of criticizing the mainstream themselves) is just herd thinking to be honest. Now they're talking about smuggling the Gunt himself underneath the border fence to fuck with July as well.

 

[Captain Manning]

Why can't I dislike both and enjoy their retarded antics as they fight each other?

You can. In fact, that's probably the most reasonable position of all. I'm specifically speaking to my own unwillingness to see July as the ultimate bad guy here. IOW, the position that Masterson's side espouses. I'm not a fan of any of them, but I'm especially not a fan of the prom king and his pet fat pedo fuck.

Put another way, I'm with Null on this one. He's said several times now that Dick and Vito should just let the black guy make his crappy comic. If he fails due to his own retardation and incompetence, that's on him.

Also, since you mention that you are a big fan of retards slap fighting each other, be sure to hop on over to the Rekieta thread first thing tomorrow when you log in and read this.

Trust me, you are in for a treat. Something nobody saw coming until it happened:

Null will almost certainly be covering this on MATI tomorrow.

I ask, does it really serve July's best interests when his supporters start encouraging him to get into a premeditated murder case instead of making millions of dollars?

No, but I don't think that's what Flash is advocating for in the above tweet. In fact, dare I say, Flash actually has something of a point here. At least on a hypothetical level.

The way Texas law has been explained to me over the years by people from there is that, in TEXAS, you can legally shoot somebody who comes onto your private property, at night, if you believe they are there to commit "criminal mischief." Apparently this is an old law dating back to the cattle rustling days. Texas, IIRC, is the singular state in the union where lethal force in defense of private property is permitted. I'm pretty sure that's what Flash is making reference to here. Not that July should murder Riley in cold blood.

Dick is from California and his reply reflects that.

Could Eric have legally shot Riley? I dunno (and likely neither does Rekieta despite what he'll try and drunkenly tell people). Am I advocating Riley be shot? No. Is Riley a complete dumbass for pulling this stunt in Texas? Yes. Is Riley a childish faggot for pulling this stunt in general and anywhere? Also yes.

So Comicsgate is showing a lot of cracks, but at this point I wonder: which is less unhealthy at this point, CG or the Big Two? The absurd drama from CG shows that fans are at least engaged. And while most CG creators are just doing it as a part-time hobby job, the same is true for the Big Two. It seems like there might actually be a better chance to make a living wage in CG than in Marvel or DC. CG creators have also been able to make money working on their own new IPs, how likely is that in the "real" industry? The only thing I ever hear about US comics anymore is that the industry is all but dead and that it's 1% the size of the manga industry.

 

[That Other Dude's Persona]

I understand people not liking July because he's a pompous asshole with a huge ego. But I think we've seen enough internet autism to know that he could have been the meekest guy in the world, with an audience of nuns, and the reaction to him would have been just as unhinged. Especially once the multi-million dollar campaign hit.

Vito's obsession with him started before the gatekeeping comments and goes all the way back to him trying to neg Friday Night Tights into giving him attention, his usual method for worming into spaces.

Thankfully for Vito the Pedo, Comicsgate welcomes pedophiles like him with open arms. DarkGift did a whole exposé on Puma Fist, but somehow keeps forgetting about Vito's tweets every single time and brings him on his show. Good guy Christians JDA and Mike S. Miller can't leave Vito's balls out of their mouths.
Even Riley is hanging out with CG now, I'm half expecting him to crowdfund a comic book at this point.

Rekieta, of Rittenhouse trial fame, suddenly doesn't believe in private property and self-defense laws.

This is some contagious brain rot going around. If you see anyone from the sektur coming to your property at night and the local self-defense laws allow it, you absolutely, definitely have the responsibility to "AIM! AIM! AIM!" and take the shot.

I guess. I suspect Null assigns much greater import to Masterson and his ability to affect things than I do. To me, at the end of the day July has sold 6 million dollars worth of comics in under a year while Dick is an internet troll that lives in a jumped up trailer in Compton. That July's announcement that he signed on Mike Baron to his publishing (which also happened yesterday) was overshadowed by him going on Nick's show to defend his right to gun down a fat broke retard that allegedly smells like shit milling around his warehouse parking lot taking selfies just strikes me as counterproductive to his overall goals. So is going hard in the paint defending Isom and its flaws instead of pointing attention towards his upcoming release of Alphacore by Chuck Dixon and A-list talent Joe Bennett, which will almost certainly have none of the art or writing problems Isom had.

It's not really a question of who is the 'ultimate bad guy' as much as a relevant figure who's stances and positions are going to have a deep impact with the Comicsgate-scene for the forseeable future (both good and bad), getting mired with Dick's traveling freak show.

Yeah, I get what you saying here.

You're acknowledging that Dick, Vito and Riley are all faggots but, because of that, they shouldn't be able to cause too much damage to July.

I agree, and I opined early on that Vito going after July would largely benefit July if he played his cards right. Vito is already widely reviled. July should probably dial back the outrage a bit and cool his jets lest he screw everything up. He can be his own worst enemy here, and that's not the best way to deal with trolls.

I think he could probably get away with jokes and the occasional dig though. I'm sure you'd agree "use promo code PULL UP" was legit pretty funny. I'm sure Nick was seething over that one.

 

[Arkenas Einbrecht]

Eric should ignore these belligerent retards and continue with his business. I still maintain Eric taking down Riley's parody products was stupid. He should have created his own parody products of Riley, Juju and TorPedo(what my little crew of Internet friends calls Vito).

Eric continues to exhibit Leem behavior and it won't end the way he wants it to. I find it disconcerting that so many creators seem to be in desperate need of tard wranglers. Why are they like this?

Stop fighting with critics. Make more comics and money. The more he succeeds the more Riley will seethe and escalate. Riley is a moron. He will, at some point, do something so stupid it will result in his arrest. Then we can all laugh at the bodycam footage together!

Null basically just said the same thing over in the Rekieta thread.

Will July take the advice? I dunno, but he probably should. Most of the chucklefucks attacking him are either has-beens or never-weres.

CG definitely. Marvel and DC are always going to be around as they are big movie and cartoon properties With big companies backing them. CG doesn’t have that luxury. Aside from Rippa, their audience is getting much smaller as people are tuning out and their campaigns are earning less and less money. I cant even watch the streams anymore because its sad to watch them go over the same Points that were relevant in 2017 over and over again.

 

[Captain Manning]

For the benefit of those of you that normally don't give a shit about what Rekieta is up to, and don't follow that thread, I should point out that Null talked about the Rippa vs. Riley thing rather extensively today. So you might find that worth a listen.

Skip to 1:19 if you don't want to endure Rekieta acting drunk and/or drugged off his ass in a hottub, and wanna get to the actual meat of the matter.

Quick summary:

Dick, Vito, and Riley are all faggots. Null goes over the history of why he hates all of them (plus Mint Salad). Null implies Riley should have been shot (based). Rekieta is being a disingenuous nigger over what happened, and in defending Riley. Null is sympathic to Rippa and suggests he should focus on his business and "ice" (ignore) all of them. Null also theorizes that Nick is trying to position himself to make comics stuff his next big grift, given that the weeb stuff has largely petered out for him.

That last theory, in particular, might be fun for some of you here to chew on.

The problem with Null's theory is that Rekieta was already a Comicsgate regular around 2017-2018 when he was covering the Meyer v. Waid trial. Then that petered out for him, which was when he (and YellowFlash and TUG) moved on to the weeb scene since a cancelled anime voice actor got 4x the traffic of CG at its peak. What he's describing already happened long ago. I think he means hopping on to the wider anti-woke pop culture scene, but going after Eric July is possibly the worst way to go about doing that imaginable barring going after Nerdrotic himself.

If Rekeita is being emotionally dishonest with his refusal to call-out / deal with Dick/Vito/Riley (and he is) then Rippa's "detractors" are justified in pointing out all his bullshit including that Rippa making a big stink over this jilted autismal superchatter was out of concern for Rippa's "50 employees and their families" and not just Rippa servicing his own ego and persona in showing how "real" he is. Punches should not expect to be pulled. Critics are not "ankle biters" anymore. They're just people calling out bullshit where they see it according to how Rippa has established the game should be played. Something tells me Rippa's ego is too mighty and the enabling around him is too powerful for this fair play to ever become a thing, though. Guys a personality cult. Imagine getting turned on to his comic endeavors through his work at the Blaze or some other conservative platform and this video is the first thing you see. What the ever-loving fuck is this monkey-mouth retard babbling about here?:

We should move differently because everything has changed and now you know what's at stake. I'm actually jealous of how incoherent he is here and with such brevity. He could start a cult with this thought-stopping sloganeering.

At least Eric picked a side of the fence (his side). Unlike wetbrain Rekieta who is trying to ride both sides and failing miserably at it. If you're worried about a cult starting over this, it most likely has already.

It should perhaps be noted that Null doesn't really seem to know much about CG and a lot of the silliness that goes on within it, so it shouldn't be terribly surprising he doesn't go into any of that. What I posted is his opinion over the specific issue going on right now concerning Riley, because I thought some of you would find it interesting and I know there's a few of you that don't post and/or read much outside this thread. It's become clear to me there's the "CG thread view" and then there's what I guess we can term the "rest of KF view" (for lack of a better term).

(Fun fact: I found out a while back that EVS is somewhat well-liked in the Patrick Tomlinson thread).

Null did have a fairly close relationship with Masterson. He's also very familiar with Riley and Vito. He goes over all this at the beginning of the clip. In contrast to all that, Eric July is to him a "black guy who makes comic books" and is being harassed by Masterson's goon squad (which is a fair point even if July has his own set of issues).

Recall that the last time Null graced this thread with his presence, it was to ban TiC, but before that, it was to opine JDA would be a stupid niggerfaggot if he propped up Vito (advice JDA clearly is not inclided to follow). He REALLY does not like Masterson, or Vito, or any of Dick's other orbiters. At all.

Opinions are often driven by different perspectives and level of knowledge. This thread knows a lot about this sektur, and I was keenly aware people here might see things a little differently than Null. I wanted to give you and others a chance to give your own opinions.

CG in general seems to be very favorable towards Rekieta. A lot of people don't really follow his streams and are stuck in the Johnny Depp area. I think there's also the aspect of clout sharing. Unless you're already a comic pro, you're not getting any clout from July. Rekieta on the other hand shares his streams with literal whores, easier platform to reach.

With Rekieta saying someone in CG is blacklisted by Eric July (Rekieta said it as if it's a bad thing ), what's the speculation?
Mike S. Miller and JDA are definitely on the list now, after spending several streams shitting on July. But who was the original one? EVS maybe? Rekieta called that person wonderful and neutral, but he is brain damaged, so I don't know if he actually meant that.

sometimes Simple Zack can actually make good points.

Wow, that guy has some good ideas. If only he was around when Comicsgate started.
