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

[motts337]

I won't be home for a couple days but when I do I'll dig out the headsketches he did for the books I have. There's a reason you don't see many, he spent about 90 seconds on them. I kinda get it considering how many of them he had to do (at first) but still, don't charge that amount if you won't put in at least a little effort.

Profit is what's left after you've already paid yourself (if you even do pay yourself at first, most small-business owners don't). You're supposed to put your profits back into the business if you want to build it.

But he said he hasn't made a profit

 

[huckbeine]

I'm not defending cg or Ethan but Eric put out a video saying he hasn't even made a profit and I think he has too many employees to pay. You're supposed to pay yourself first when you own a business

tell me you have no idea about business by telling me how you think a business should be run

the last person to always get paid is the owner of the business. everything goes first to the employees, utilities, bills, loans, etc etc, then the reinvestment to the company.

 

[SaidNoOneEver]

But he said he hasn't made a profit

And that doesn't mean he hasn't paid himself, not that that would matter anyway. Again, so what? What business is that of ours?

Is the EVS model of paying yourself ALL of the money up front, even the money needed to deliver your product five years later preferable to you?

Everybody is wondering where the money went, when the answer seems pretty obvious to me:
EVS already spent it.

Ethan seems like the kind of guy who lives beyond his means and that when he has money its just burning a hole in his pocket. My narcissist father was the same way. Also keep in mind the fact that EVS makes frequent trips to Atlantic City, a hell-scape of urban blight you only go to if you're looking to gamble. Does Ethan have a gambling problem? I'm guessing he does (but that's just a guess).

 

[That Other Dude's Persona]

"His book sucks, he tells & doesn't show, he doesn't explain Isom's powers, he pays his employees and doesn't pay himself."

I don't get it.

If you think he's producing shit, why are you even concerned about the health of his business?

What if he can no longer afford to run a company and shuts everything down next year? What's the worst you could say looking back at his business? That a bunch of employees got decent salaries for a couple of years?

Exactly, its a Ponzi scheme that works as long as your putting up new crowd funds all the time. My question is when a 3 year late book gets shipped out, how much of the profit, or green ink is losses, or red ink ...... Think about inflation of the last 3 years, mailing price increases, also getting product printed at todays prices compared to 3+ year ago prices ...... The whole EVS business model looks like its built on quick sand ......

 

[Yosha]

Ethan should be the last person to even bitch about someones art, or storytelling, as the fat fuck was promoting that god awful Mandy Summers dwarf book, that looked like anyone from here could draw.

When he goes to a concert, he's close to the stage. When he goes to a baseball game, he's close enough for the players to hear him heckle. He talks fairly regularly about going to the casino.

EVS very much gives off the impression that he's the type of guy who likes to look like a big shot by throwing his money around in the flashiest ways possible, as often as possible, mobster style.

He doesn't understand that most mobsters threw cash around because it wasn't worth much to them. If they had to launder it, they only got a fraction back, so it made more sense to throw it around their neighborhoods to buy loyalty.

When EVS shows off on twitter how much he's spending going out and having fun, a portion of his audience thinks "How come he's not spending the money to hire more people to help with fulfillment?".

He still hasn't completed fulfillment of CF2, at least, not the "second chance" campaign.

 

[SaidNoOneEver]

also getting product printed at todays prices compared to 3+ year ago prices

I've also been thinking about that. A few years ago I asked EVS here about unexpected inflated costs due to the supply-chain crisis at the time. I had read an article about paper prices doubling or something. It didn't seem to matter to him. I wouldn't be surprised if prices have doubled again since then.

I'm half-expecting him to announce the Houthi's sunk the latest CyberFrog ship off the coast of Yemen.

Is it normal for the panels to be so large? The only panels that would warrant such a size would be the one where LGBT Brock Lesnar gets the drink slapped out of his hand and the group shot of the bears corralling around him. One instigates the conflict and the other illustrates the scope of the threat. The panels of him ordering and downing his drink didn't have to be as large as they were.

I think its both in service to Ethan's laziness and his desire to draw greebles. Small panels leave less room for meandering and or worthless detailing -- so the composition itself has to be top tier to compensate. Precision and a keen eye are also necessary if you want to add detail to smaller panels.

For this reason(but not solely this reason) I suspect Ethan's sight is fading and he doesn't want to admit it to others, but more importantly himself. He is likely losing mental acuity due to poor sleep, over-indulgence of vices, lack of exercise, and possibly malnutrition. its also possible his manual dexterity is decreasing, as he is advanced in age, in apparent poor health and lazy.

Then there's the fact he moronically listened to others and got the lance of coofinus. We still don't know the long-term effects from that batch of sewage shots. Given they were causing people to stroke out/develop bells palsy/etc however... whew lad. I don't envy any one that got them.

Ultimately Ethan seems to need a task master. Otherwise he devolves into what is easy and familiar. Narcissists hate being told how to do any thing though so... his ego will never allow for that sort of thing.

I don't know how many times I've told people to get their physical products out in a timely fashion. Inflation will happen and sap large amounts of money from their coffers. I get ignored every time. They drag their feet, then cry about RiSiNg CoStS!1one!

How in the world do they not understand this?

EDIT: Added context.

Is it all youtubers or just birds of a flock thing, considering evs and rekieta orbits diddler dax herrera? How is diddler dax's work ethic anyway? I don't watch his content.

July's accomplishment with his payment processing is even more impressive when you look at those first day's sales blowing away anybody's expectations by an order of magnitude. Nobody saw that volume coming. If his system had crashed and burned for a few days it could've done long-term damage to his efforts and I didn't think that risk was worth it given everything else he was attempting simultaneously for the very first time.

There's always going to be the transaction fees from the credit cards themselves but I think IGG hits you with those too on top of the percentage they take for themselves. Bottom line is that extra pile of money that July is able to keep that CG'er aren't is likely paying for the employees, warehouse and fulfillment process that EVS mocks him for even having!

July didn't make a payment processor, he just used a boxed solution like Stripe, Bolt, or one of the many bank options. In fact, you can go to his site and find out it's Stripe, the same processor IGG uses:

If Stripe failed from that amount of transactions that would be a huge blow to them as they're designed for that level of transactions and more. The one thing I'd give July is he bought enough bandwidth from whoever he's hosting with to keep his site up during it.

You are correct, that's 5% + 3% or whatever for processing via Stripe at the minimum on IGG. Doesn't sound like a lot, but on a million dollars of sales that's $50k which is enough to pay an employee to pack and ship books on time.

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO

Too fake, EVS isn't being a miserable cunt in it.

How is diddler dax's work ethic anyway?

His former partner and current mortal enemy, Maddox, has talked about how he would go disappearing for days at a time, "partying".

More drama farming as Ethan continues his now 2 week sperging. Mind you his profile states "Drama-Free" and was not on his profile 5 months ago via Waybackmachine Archive.

His tone is a bit different today.
Did he start taking some medication again or did he adjust his dosage?

 

[motts337]

What's the point of having all those employees and overhead if you can't make any money for yourself. It defeats the purpose of starting a business.

 

[motts337]

lol. lmao even

What's so funny?

 

[PaladinBoo]

No, it is the realization that he got in the ring with faggots, pedophiles, wiggers and whores and that he can't ever use his "le'Based Trad Christian Conservative" card anymore to own detractors like he used to. Remember that EVS would loved to pay the "blacklisted Christian conservative " who was blacklisted out of the industry due to his based Christian conservative beliefs. His friendship with Juju and Vito proves that is all a lie. Juju is a self proclaimed "anti-anti SJW" who spends most of his dead air show complaining about and ridiculing conservative counter culture movements in the hopes that it pleases some Jewish pedophile producer that he offers him a Hollywood contract. Then there is Vito the Pedo who is a self proclaimed "proud SJW" who (when not jerking off to CSAM) spends every week trying to false flag and deplatform Gary of Nerdrotic's podcast off YouTube and also tried to false flag his episode when he had Alex Jones on.

As the saying goes; "You are who the company you keep", and people are now realizing who the real EVS is. Just like with Nick, the mask slipped and EVS is now trying desperately to put the mask back on.

Sounds as though your birds of a feather notion may be correct.

His former parner and current mortal enemy, Maddox, has talked about how he would go disappearing for days at a time, "partying".

I was going to autisticly trawl Daxipad's streaming activities, chronicle them in a document and do the math on his consistency to answer KB's question.

Thank you for sparing me this exceptional and non-hetero task.

The EVS "I'm a victim" thing is more based on being a Republican. The le based trad Christian (Catholic) thing is more of Jon Del Arroz's larp. Ethan split with the explicitly Christian faction of comicsgate in 2019 (Mike S Miller, Edwin Boyette, Doug Tenapel) and mercilessly made fun of them for years much like he's doing with Eric July now. He sided instead with camwhore Mandy Summers, dildo memeing Warcampaign (since exiled) and Cecil, a gross coomer. The mask you say is slipping came off a long time ago.

@motts337 welcome to the farms, where currently Dick Masterson, Vito Gesualdi and Nick Rekieta are the most hated men on the internet and Ethan Van Sciver is trying his best to be added to this list. All are beefing with or fixated on Eric July so some people are seeing criticism of Eric as support for the others. It sucks because while i'm not a fan of any of the former, I too think Eric is full of shit and his comics suck. That opinion is becoming synonymous with Ethan Van Sciver in the last few weeks. For example recently a channel called Geek Getaway had become bigger by featuring Eric July hater content. At first it was a neutral show where Airrick Debunks from the SJW side, Ethan Van Sciver and other comicsgate supporters, Molby of the Peggy Preston Knights, and even Rippa supporters could all go on and talk. It has slid so far into a comicsgate show now that they have CG slum regulars on the panel and are crowdfunding a frog comic book. Ethan does this maddening thing where he infiltrates, then emulates and skin walks way less successful slum type channels. What he's doing right now is basically that Geek Getaway channel. So careful with the Rippa hate @motts337 or you may find yourself CG pozzed.

 

[PaladinBoo]

The reason why a lot of people are on Eric July's and the Fandom Menace side, despite them having their share of fuck ups (like MauLer and Rags) is because Juju, Vito and EVS are engaging in life ruination. Metokur said it best when he says that good old fashion trolling is fine but when you step into life ruination then you become fucking scum. These are men in their 40's and 50's engaging in the life ruination tactics of millennial white women and troons. The same types of people who Juju, Vito and EVS bemoan and make fun of. Goes to show that it is all just projection. They are no better then the fat feminist Karen's and troons they make fun.

 

[FluffyJackal]

Has Ethan's CF3 funding picked up at all since this brouhaha with July et al. started?
