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

I find it amusing how Zack goes around sneering at other YouTubers and calling them things like yokels like he's some kind of sophisticated gentleman of learning and culture.

 

[Mr Processor]

Has he actually looked at Concord? Why doesn't HE make videos talking about why HE doesn't think Concord is woke? That's the least he could do if he's going to so adamantly take a side to dunk on other content creators for having a bad take.

Also, I suspect he's trying to appeal to authority by invoking the names of such large channels on the topic.

I've seen a very small amount of videogame commentary from Zack. It's not his wheelhouse and not something he's particularly interested in from what I can tell. He's done more on TV shows, movies and even manga than videogames.

Concord crashed and burned so hard that it basically ceased to exist after Sony spend some ungodly amount of money on it. (The exact amount is disputed but I think it approaches half a billion.) It was indeed woke, and Sony intended for it to become a multi-media property not just a game.

So, Zack's only commentary would be "Concord didn't crash and burn because of DEI, but for other reasons." It's possible, but it isn't possible to prove that. So, it's just his opinion. Because he doesn't know anything about games, he won't be able to intelligently comment on the other reasons why it was such a catastrophic disaster.

Old Man Meyers better stick with his funny books.
He wouldn't make it 10 minutes in a COD lobby.

"The reaction is longer than the clip."
Well fuckin' duh! That's the point of doing that at all. To have a conversation about the clip.
What the hell do you think John Madden got famous for Meyers? His athelete's foot spray??

Concord is another example of why the 80's were better than today. A movie of "Concord Quality" was an outlier in the 80's ("Smokey and the Bandit part 3" comes to mind). But in today's (sad) cinematic landscape, Concord is much closer to par for the course.

Everything about Concord was aggressively woke. The player character designs are some of the ugliest, genderqueer weirdos on purpose. The female characters were made to look as unattractive as possible. (Fat or old.) The costumes are all ugly and garish.

Concord absolutely failed because of the DEI mandate that was baked into this project's very bones. When you are competing for players in a market full of better-liked hero shooter games filled with attractive characters, any game that goes out of it's way to be filled with unappealing character designs is destined to fail.

(I saw a video of a guy who took the character designs of characters in Concord and improved them to make the characters look attractive with attractive-looking costumes. It's not hard to do. But ugliness, especially female ugliness is essential to the woke dream of re-engineering society, so it's no mystery why the Concord characters look the way they do.)

Also if the characters are cool looking or otherwise attractive, you can use them in other media. Uncool characters aren't going to be popular as keychains or figurines later.

This happened forever ago, but did anyone ever get a refund for the Ribbit Coin shit from five years back?

I don't know who Act Man or Asmongold are. Well, I should explain this more. I am aware there are some Youtube people with these names. I've seen a few random, out of context clips of Asmongold, enough to make me think he has a fanbase.

This is a far cry from comic books though, and not a subject (Videogames) that I think Ya Boi Zack has anything knowledgeable to say anything about. Not that I think he has anything useful to say about TV or Movies, but Zack doesn't really play videogames or he plays them far less than most men.

"Longer AND the video itself"

Do you believe that if Concord was anti-woke and a super fucking based game, it would somehow be good, even if the gameplay is still trash?

No. Like I said, the hero shooter market is very competitive. Games like Fortnite already have a dominant hold on the market. It's an uphill battle for any game to find it's own place. What I'm saying is that if you create a game with ugly, unappealing characters with ugly, unappealing costumes, you've just made a difficult task that much harder. And the only reason why you would fill a game with ugly character designs that flies in the face of all business sense is if you had an ideological mandate to do so.

 

[Train Operator]

"they're making videos longer than the video they're covering!" yeah, retard, they're adding commentary so it's transformative. are they suppose to just straight up reupload act mans' video? does he want him to play the video straight through and talk over him as it plays to follow the arbitrary rules set out by simple king richie?

i don't even like G&G but this disingenuous faggot is one of the most braindead dumb fucks I've ever seen.

he won't be able to intelligently comment

that's never stopped him before.

I agree ugly characters and ugly art style did not help it, but the main problem with Concord is still that the game play was shit.

Take something like Cruelty Squad, that game is ugly as shit. I would say it is directly painful to watch as time passes. However, it is fun.

Most people are normies. Most normies are attracted to attractive things. Most people are turned off by ugly things. Sure, a hardcore gamer will like games with ugly, or at least not very attractive graphics, but hardcore gamers are the minority of the paying public out there. There's a reason why I've never heard of Cruelty Squad, but most people out there have probably heard of Fortnite.

Supposedly the people who worked on Concord believed their game was going to be a mega hit on par with the top AAA shooters. There's no way in hell they could ever reach that kind of success with aggressively ugly character designs. If you're going for the largest percent of casuals out there, ugliness will not sell.

Whenever a woke game fails, pro-woke people want you to think about what did not happen but could have happened. Concord was undeniably woke and it failed. We have no idea what would have happened if it hadn't been woke. For example, instead of being such a huge failure that it imploded like a dying star, Sony may have recouped some of their 1/2 billion even if it still underperformed. Or some character in it may have become popular and boosted the game into profitability. It's not answerable. What we can say is that the woke characters in the game were not appealing to most of the people who are interested in playing videogames.

Also, it's important to not fall into the rhetorical trap of thinking "not woke" is the same as "anti-woke" or explicitly right wing. No, not woke means simple that a game (or other media) is not pushing woke propaganda. It is true that to woke activists, this means that the game is right wing. Because to them if something is not pushing the revolution it must be collaborating with the enemy. I've seen woke activists recently say the Django Unchained is right wing propaganda, which I thought was... interesting. (Interesting as in, retarded.)

 

[Tepes Thot]

Yeah, Concord was the definition of woke. Everything existed to serve the various critical theories that make up woke ideology.

There was nothing in service of gaming, innovation, or even approaching the idea of fun. It was entirely by committee, nothing creative unless you’ve never seen a Netflix “original”.

Zack is just saying the opposite of whatever the “BPCs” say. There’s utterly no thought to his ramblings atp.

 

[Gee Willows Wilson!]

In his own retarded way Zack is right.

You really are just holding on to anything that won't ruin your image of Zack aren't you?


also to throw my hat into this. This nigger made 10+ minute videos talking about single floppy issues of comics. So again, one more time for the retards in the back who still think Zack has a good point : ZACK SHOULD NOT BE THE ONE MAKING THESE FUCKING VIDEOS

He goes into more detail in subsequent posts and its impossibly gayer that I could have imagined:

The Fonz did not “take girls into the bathroom to make out”, Richard. The bathroom was his “office“. You’re such a Potsie, Richard!

This post reminds me of when a leftoid tries to do a quirky "conversion thread" on Twitter to cancel someone. Actors playing teens happens to this very day, even Andrew Garfield was in 28 when he played Spiderman and 30 for the sequel.
