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

[zyclonPD]

I just think EVS has the ego issues of Ralph and the pie filled belly of Lowtax.

Every youtuber has the ego issues of Ralph. It takes a narcissistic personality to want to broadcast yourself and hear yourself talk for hours. Fat people exist everywhere, its America and sugar is cheaper than most every food and people have poor impulse control. Its just grabbing the lowest common denominator and forcing the comparison.

While true, I think EVS and EOR have the same kind of general ego issue, and Lowtax specifically liked pie, so much so he blew his entire fortune on it. I don't think EVS is exactly the same as either, he's his own unique brand of fuck up, but I think it's funny to compare them anyway.

Hours after EVS' call to action and only a handful more votes later... EVS' stunt has backfired.

Not that long ago at least 1000 people would've immediately dog-piled that poll for him.

Poll update! It's an even worse showing for EVS now.

GOOD thing I archived it! LMAO

Time for some positivity!
Despite the comics industry being turned into a mouthpieces of judeo-bolshevism and associated nonsense, we would never have gotten these nice drawings if it never happened.

BTW, this guy has more videos so if you like the art here, feel free to go and give it a watch.

Yet another struggle session tonight by EVS. This is selective highlights I took from randomly jumping around and watching parts of the stream. Watching any one of these as whole is just impossible.

He was outright lying about things Alex Stein said yesterday. You see, no matter what Alex Stein actually said, Ethan KNOWS that Alex really supports EVS's position on Eric July entirely and that Alex was told by Glenn Beck (presumably personally) to leave Eric July alone. Tinfoil hat stuff not supported by anything. But he is saying it. And anything Stein would say now will be reversed by Ethan to be proof that he is being abused and controlled by Glenn Beck.

He seems to be alone again ranting into the void and laughing in a deranged way. It doesn't seem like he can even get people to come on with him for this stuff anymore. Not even weak punching bags like Shane to say "thats right Ethan" for three hours as he watches yet another clip of Eric July.

He is ranting about how comicsgate was always about creating "great stories" above everything and that was always the most important thing. Just like the nine other things he has previously said were the most important thing were.

Ethan reminds us that its not easy for victims like him "to rise above this" meaning the complaints of assorted slaves of his not going along with his narrative on July. However many hours total into the Eric July insanity, he is talking about how he is somehow rising above "it".

And EVS isn't shitting on the fans when he shits on them all day long on twitter because that would be against the spirit of comicsgate and thats just impossible. Ethan just loves the fans.

He also goes into an SJW bit about how "white conservatives" want to hear "black conservatives" talk. It helps the (implied to be racist) white conservatives to cope about how they are not racists. The longer this war goes on, the more SJW Ethan & his arguments get. And given who he is fighting with, he doesn't have much choice other than to go SJW. Its the same as when he became the great friend to all the gays and the troons in 2019 when he had to purge people to his right in comicsgate.

Watching him stream, he looks old, very tired and defeated. But he has reached some kind of cow state where he isn't going to give this up no matter what.

 

[huckbeine]

jesus, he couldn't just take an L for this instance with July.
the wisest move was simply walk away and he couldn't do that, now he is burning down his own empire of dirt and nothing to gain from that.

I dont think EVS or Graham Nolan have any idea how boomer they sound in rejecting all digital tools and assets from comic work. Its the end work that matters. There is no glory in doing art in an antique way that requires maximum effort on things that usually don't matter to the story. Yeah. You can spend several days trying to do a drawing of a car or a helicopter in a background without modeling, without references and strictly I guess based on looking out the window. But what does all that time spent on a background detail in a story contribute to the work as a whole? When you free up time from background detail, you can spend more time getting things like composition or key character art better. Or you can create more art by being more productive.

Comic art in the old days was drawn on bristol board and then inked over because the comics were being printed on four-color letterpress printing equipment mostly used to print newspapers. The world has long ago moved on.

We live in a world of full color printing and digital tools today. Every great artist takes advantage of the technology available to them. They had things like zipatone and lightboxes. They would do polaroid photographs for anatomy references. They maintained massive personal libraries of art reference material to be used in different ways.

There is no difference between using a file cabinet of illustrations and photos for reference then and using 3D assets for reference now. They both serve the same purpose. All that changes is that the technology becomes better and more efficient allowing the artist to do more.

There is also the hypocrisy of Nolan and EVS being such reactionaries on drawing while having no problem hiring colorists who use a full suite of modern digital tools on their art.

Comicsgate had spawned alot of dumb ideas, but EVS's ideas that comic art today has be done with the same technology it was done with 50 years ago is one of the worst.

I didn't read those Graham Nolan comments as against the 3D assets, rather as use whatever tool is out there with some discretion. But is he another guy who does not offer his comic digitally? Rippa is in this camp too of print only. This to me is worse than being a stick in the mud about using old school tools in part of the process. They are leaving money on the table while not being relevant in today's world where more people read off a screen than paper.

"white conservatives" want to hear "black conservatives" talk. It helps the (implied to be racist) white conservatives to cope about how they are not racists.

I didn't hear how fat EVS phrased this but in general it is a phenomenon that exists:

coup'd etat brewing in comicsgate empire?

Remember when synthesizers came along and ruined real music? That's why nobody likes any "music" made after 1970. Technology completely destroyed a whole art form.

Didn't Zack say he was against offering digital because it would make piracy easier? I thought that was the main reason the other CG boomers followed suit. I was under the impression that "no digital books" was a tenet of CG, right alongside "Only use IGG" and "Books should be late and gay".

Like a general on the cusp of a major defeat, EVS realizes that his army has abandoned him, his remaining allies are degenerates and reprobates, the enemy is about to win but he refuses to admit defeat. It is like an autistic version of The Battle of Waterloo with him. He just can't take the L and move on.

They have said that. But ironically the greatest protection CG has had against piracy is that their audience is old and nobody in the broader world knows or cares about their books. Even the pirate sites that pirate and scan nearly everything ever done don't pay any attention to comicsgate. You can find scans of every old issue of cyberfrog. But not comicsgate cyberfrog. You can also find Isom easily which also says something about comicsgate.

The lack of any interest on the part of the pirate sites in their books is a sign of how very marginal they all are.

It's dumb. These people are making themselves culturally irrelevant because of the possibility that maybe they lose a couple sales to piracy. Are they that afraid of reviews? They would rather have a small amount of collectors have multiple copies of their books sealed up in plastic than have a wider audience read them? Also if you want to order from these people you are forced to give them your address, where as digital is more anonymous for people who care about that. Digital has no overhead you just send the file you already have to the buyers, it can be automated. Or give it away to build your fan base of readers. Also half of these guys have major trouble getting their print only books printed and shipped. Dumb all around to not offer digital.

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.

I pointed out the OP didn't even have FUCK THEM HOE ASS ROADS! Or any mention of his shit metalcore music or examples of cringe rapping. Total garbage. If he is a cow he always was, not starting when Vito debated him. If OP had documented other feuds he's had like Jody's Corner or Angry Joe and established a pattern of behavior it might be more convincing. Eric July is kind of like our own Liam Gray in that he reacts to fucking everything and over shares in his streams (although in vague evasive negroid form).

Practically every party in these fights is detestable.

Baron is in better shape physically than all of them too. He's really a wealth of experience. If I were Rippa I would have Baron script years of books in advance while I had him instead of spending millions on warehouse nonsense.

The idiot gave him "Goodyng" of all characters to write instead of just letting him do his thing. Baron is great but I don't think that character will garner much interest

CG has developed the best anti-priacy mechanism yet: don't deliver the book and keep the money. Can't pirate something that doesn't exist! Checkmate!

"I'm hOnEst bro, gimme a chance bra." Day 13 or 14 of Ethan sperg out. Man oh man. Waiting on Playboard to update his latest livestream, @Captain Manning he seems to have grifted another $1700 (before YT .30) currently.



Edit: In other news I saw this. The only response I have is...

Graham Nolan used to offer digital copies back when he was using Kickstarter. Ominous Press also used to sell a lot of his work in digital format on their site.

But becoming CG apparently means adopting whatever retarded cope came to RCM, EVS and Malin's head back in 2017.

Which is why Tucci just ignoring every retarded CG doctrine and doing his own thing, using Kickstarter, selling digital copies and being beloved by pros regardless of political leanings, is hilarious to me.

CG has developed the best anti-priacy mechanism yet: don't deliver the book and keep the money. Can't pirate something that doesn't exist! Checkmate!

People don't even care enough about their books to just photograph them and share them. And they look at this level of apathy towards their "art" and view it as an anti-piracy victory.

Short term this has been very profitable, but the damage Ethan has caused to the Brand Comicsgate, and his all crap comics is going to be devastatingly laughable. At least 1/3 of Ethan's viewers are FNT Rippa fans seeth watching.

Looks like viewers on last nights show are down a few thousand, people get tired of a 50 year old retired comic artist sperg about youtubers for 5 hours every night.

Strange thought, but hear me out please.
Comics are slowly becoming obsolete as a whole. As in they are facing extinction.
How many Gen Alfa have the focus and mental capability necessary to read a comic?
Why would they spend money on some pictures when they can get videos on social media and interactive content in the form of video games for free (mostly)?

I would theoretically agree with you, but webtoons seem to be doing fine.
Some of the biggest crowdfunders are for printed collected editions of webtoon content.
