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

Skimmed through the dungeoner files it was a whole lot of nothing. Vedo appeared on panel on dark gift’s latest livestream. Ethan defends his “it’s none of my business” comment about vedo on Cecil’s recent livestream. A super chatter brought it up. EVS mentions he knows people have been bringing that comment up.
 
You can imagine my disapointment when I document two prominent CGers committing battery on a total stranger in public and streamed live on YouTube and it generates precisely zero discussion in the thread. I don't think I even bothered posting the rest of it, which features Cecil returning and literally kicking the guy as he lay on that bench. Days later, during a follow-up stream, Dave "Cecil" Volz is shown the video and reacts in horror that he abused someone and streamed it to the world.

I think it may have been during a particular unstable period for the site, perhaps only accessible via Tor and/or right after an extended outage. The thread had zero activity for five days before I posted that.
It's really a testament to how dead CG discussion was in general before they decided to sperg out about Eric. "CG harasses a homeless man live on stream while Ethan encourages it" would have been an incredibly easy blow for Anti-CG twitter to deal to them and spam it out forever. Hell, they wouldn't even have to take things out of context. Pretty hard to deny the harassment movement claims when the faces of it are actively recording themselves harassing random people on the street for laughs.
 
Is this board no longer diseased?
The "disease" referred to the cows involved running loose on the thread. At the height of it we had EVS, JDA, Nasser, Eric July, Martina Markota, Vikki Verse, and other youtubers and creators. Now we only have 2 of the retarded Etsy Boys from the slums and whoever @ExGater is (they claimed to be someone cryptically but no specifics). Oh and our comrade @COMMI3 MARK made a few books and is on youtube with CG UK. But lately more impartial discussion thread = less diseased.

I think the problem was that the streams that Ethan and his hangers-on are on are usually so fucking BORING, and a lot of people were simply burnt out on CG at the time.

People probably glossed over Ike's post because they might have though it was more of the old man fart huffing like he usually does

Actually @Ike Aim, if you ever come across a gem like that again, I strongly recommend submitting it to the Community Driven Happenings thread. You're not guaranteed to be featured, but that is a high traffic thread and it would have surely gotten people in here talking about it. Simply make a post here, and link to it there.

Depraved idiots abusing some homeless guy is an accessible enough concept for people who don't follow CG to be interested in. Just like Preston's pegging porn was. When I shared Ethan's comments about Vito (who is infamous site wide), and Biggons bitching about the AoC, people seemed to appreciate that too.

Just a thought.
 
To be fair, a lot of people probably bounced during the outages / Tor period. for my part, I'm documenting literal violence committed by CG out in these streets and watching it go practically unnoticed as a notable event in CG history.
It wasn't just the TOR times, it was the extremely slow TOR times. Even leaving a sticker was a pain, but your documentation of the retardation was appreciated.

F DarkGift. Just bring Puma Fist back at this point, you hypocrite faggot.

Sorry I've had to be so cryptic and non=specific, but I have to hide behind a mask of anonymity because Ethan and his goons can do serious damage to my business. Eric July is running $3 million dollar campaigns, but little guys like me are lucky if we hit double-digits. We lower-to-mid comic creators don't make a lot on our campaigns once you factor in printing and shipping, and what little we have left-over goes into the next book. How do we fight back? All we can do is keep those DMs and wait patiently for the day to drop them.

Luckily, it appears that the day is fast approaching when I and all of the many other small creators who have been cancelled by EVS and Malin will be able to unmask and prove what scumbag #CANCELPIGS they truly are. Holy shit that's going to be amazing.
 
My first impression, besides accidentally reading right to left occasionally, is that it's very generic and... boring.
That was basically my view of #1, I didn't bother getting 2. I have this feeling that isom was expected to be a one off based on the inclusion of his wifes jewelry ad in the middle of the book. Him ramping up everything after that just feels like striking while the iron is hot. While people are buying it in droves might as well spin up #2 and expand. Props on making money I guess.

Ever since I've heard about the Rippaverse EJ always touted it as him wanting to make his own universe, hence the hamfisted inclusion of Yaira and Alphacore to show Isom is just a small part of a larger world, even if at the very beginning EJ just wanted to make a one off he's been talking about the Rippaverse as a big thing long enough where he could have ironed the groundwork for the whole thing out.

I gave you a rainbow because of how gay those pictures are. Makes perfect sense "ComicsGate" is some sort of homosexual movement where homosexuals like Ethan Van Schiver groom young guys to have gay sex with them. The Bryan Singer of the comics industry. Hope he ends up in jail.
 
F DarkGift. Just bring Puma Fist back at this point, you hypocrite faggot.
I skimmed through that shitshow.

Vito employing his "poor me" routine for the billionth time. DarkGift running defense for Vito again, essentially begging him to say "it's just jokes" so he can rehabilitate him. B.A. Turner was on too, I was surprised he was able to speak with Vito's dick in his mouth, great job there.

Things are looking dire for the CG Slums "brand".

EDIT: Anyone got details on this Cider vs Vito thing? Should I be buying Cider stocks?

Way bigger people than DarkGrift have tried that, multiple times. People like Dick Masterson and Nick Rekieta.

Nobody buys it. DarkGrift is a dumb-dumb if he thinks that will work.

It's true that an unfunny joke can still be a joke, but there's nothing in Vito's infamous "we" tweet that would suggest he was joking. There's also ample supporting evidence he's into sick shit. Evidence that would be even harder to try and explain away.

What's more likely is Vito stuck his toe in the water thinking that society had "progressed" to the point where people were more accepting of "MAPs" and he'd be called stunning and brave.

Fortunately, that did not happen.

Meanwhile Ethan appears to be taking a somewhat different tact here. He's not necessarily trying to get people to believe Vito is joking, but rather claiming that it doesn't matter if Vito is a pedo.

Vito is an albatross around CG's neck, and the only smart thing for any of them to do would be to completely cast him off.

LMAO I wasn't expecting this. Guy is literally a stereotype. He hates the gays because he is one. There's the chance it's all made up, but the reaction seems too visceral. Most people would just say, "lolno they're retarded for believing that." I wonder if there's some resentment toward Eric July because he wants to get fucked by him?

It's complicated. CiderHype and DarkGift have to show solidarity with JDA so he will help forward fellow etsies/slum people to YellowFlash in the thin hope of escaping the charred desert of glass that was the CG community; JDA in turn must show solidarity with YF because he (among others) are helping get Jon's BiC-competitor content mill Fandom Pulse off the ground, and Yellowflash must in turn must show solidarity with Nerdrotic against Dick and Vito to get his upcoming comic promoted.

As far as Cider's first IGG Colossals campaign goes, unlike what Grift and Cider are saying now, it did get funded, but Cider set the funding goal at something like $500 to 'game the IGG promotion algorithm' as per ancient CG marketing dogma. The total funds raised (~$1500 iirc) though were far short of what was needed to break even and Cider did not have the funds on hand to even fulfill the project, buttloving his whole business venture out of the gate. After a few months of manic shilling, Cider eventually faced reality and announced the campaign cancelled on account of 'a tsunami hitting his filipino artist' and offered a full refund, which no one really believed, but in the end everyone let it slide on account of no harm being done. Cider went on to try again (successfully). Grift and Cider could explain this, but don't due to a combination of poor communication skills, the waste of time it would be trying to explain this to Dick Masterson, drug-related questionable memory but most importantly signal their allegiances and farm whatever controversy there is of going back and forth with Vito.
