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

[Stupor Mario]

View attachment 6564110
Do I watch this or do I watch Peter Cushing's version of Frankenstein for the hundredth time? Decisions, decisions... (It's going to be Frankenstein. Possibly a Frankenstein marathon. I might even throw Frankenstein Unbound in there for variety.)

Enjoy Frankenstein, I'll take the hit so you don't have to.

In this video, clueless Simple Zack is egomaxxxing without even realizing it.

Zack is at a birthday party with friends and attended a concert. (Zack has friends?! Zack leaves his house?!)

Zack has a tradition of going to this one "overpriced McDonald's" in Corpus. (Very high class of you, Zack. You are not at all a white trash hillbilly, unlike those BPC hicks.) Apparently, he likes this McDonald's, because a bunch of "oldsters" used to hang out in the parking lot in their lawn chairs. (Ok, buddy.)

Now that "we've won" (the culture war, I guess he means?), things are going to get very dark, because when the rebels win a revolution, there are always purges and grabs for power. (Have "we won"? Are you part of the "we"? Are you now calling yourself an anti-SJW again?)

For Zack, everything is comics. He's constantly thinking about comics and YouTube. So, when he was at his concert, he had another one of his brilliant, sweeping revelations.

The concert is "the perfect model". There is a clear demarcation between audience and stage. Everyone has their role. The audience's roll is to enjoy and to validate the performers.

The only thing that matters in comics are whether or not your comics are good, and Zack, in his own not so humble opinion, always produces great comics, even with his "challenges of production." (I.e., Zack not actually getting his product to paying customers.)

Zack is catching heat for being what he's always been. He then says that if one guy stands alone, it's impossible for people, even people who don't like that person to not admire them.

Zack tells us that he has a bachelor's degree in history. (Obviously this makes him an expert on everything.)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------​

What this video demonstrates to me is Zack's simpleminded egotism. EVS knows he's a narcissist, but I don't think Zack is even aware of how self-serving his basic understanding of the world is. Zack talks as if he has a divine calling to be The Comic Book Artiste. He views his divinely appointed role as a given. It's also a given that the audience, the paying customers out there, exists just to pay him money and, in Zack's own words, to validate him.

The only thing Zack cares about is fulfilling his own creative desires, whatever the customer wants be damned. The audience (i.e., the paying customers and fans) shouldn't have any opinions or criticism, they should just lift Zack up and allow him to do whatever the fuck he wants to do all the time. Because everything he creates is so great, so he deserves it. When people complain and don't like what Zack says and does, that upsets this perfect harmony of the universe. There is no gratitude for customers choosing to buy his comics. There is only a sense of entitlement.

It's funny to me that not too long ago Zack was banging on about what a serious publisher he was with a legit vet-owned business, because he seems to have the most simplistic, childish, and unrealistic understanding of how business and publishing work. Why do you think businesses advertise? Why do you think they do market research? You have to know what the customer wants and then you have to try and attract them by offering them something they would potentially buy.

In Zack's magical, childlike business model, all he has to do is produce his comics (which are always awesome) and then the customers will magically show up and reward him with sales. There's no consideration of a competitive market where thousands of people are trying to get the business of the same pools of customers. A situation where legit talented artists cannot make ends meet, because the competition to get customers is tough, and people with inferior comics who possess superior means and marketing strategies are able to capture more of the potential market share.

Whatever happened to that hot dog vendor attitude about selling comics?

Will it dawn on Zack that the world does not revolve around him? I guess we'll find out.

The retardation of Richard Myers is so funny it hurts, we shouldn't even be Irritated at this point we should be impressed. It's like watching Michael Jordan dominate on the Cort, like God designed him to have the most embarrassing, lacking in self awareness take.

I thought it was pretty hilarious when he was talking about that. Not to sound like Tim Pool over here but it reminded me of that episode of South Park when Cartman got beat up by a girl, then mistakenly thought that the other kids were trying to make him feel better so they must think he is cool.

One thing about crazy people is that movies have always taught us that they are very intelligent. I was watching Dressed to Kill the other day (great movie, 5 stars). And the killer in that is portrayed as fairly intelligent despite being insane. (They'd never allow a movie like that today. The theaters would get death threats. I won't spoil it but I encourage everyone to watch it.)

Actually, though, a lot of insane people are actually morons.

Nobody is "confused". I've clarified literally DOZENS of times. I've been utterly consistent over the last 7.5 years. Shitheads who break things that they didn't build and don't have the ability to repair are always going to be my targets. In 2017, that was mostly SJWs. In 2024, that is mostly Anti-SJWs. Now, if you'll excuse me, an insider just informed me that the cast members at Disneyland who portray Cinderella are now using IMITATION TAFFETA on their costumes, which expressly goes against Walt Disney's wishes. Join me in a 500-hour livestream about this, fellow Alpha Males.

Here's a follow up comment to that video you suffered through. Here Richard acts like he is passionately defending movies against the Critical Drinker and the rest. However, in the same post he is mocking anyone who would give a damn about the same movies he's defending here. So, why is he passionately defending movies he not only doesn't care about, but that he thinks no one but little girls should care about? Oh, it's because he's crazy and jealous of people who are better at Youtube than he is. Also, I guess his so called hiatus was just a lie.

Well, more content for this thread, I suppose.

 

[Gee Willows Wilson!]

Yeah or yanno... pop culture and a relevant event in Hollywood right now... But sure "Emily in Paris" "tik tok" "sex and the city" faggot, it's actually because they like wands and shiz.

Wizard of Oz is something everyone knows, its a cultural touchstone and drinker isn't even talking about the content of wicked in that video he's just talking about some shit the one actress said.

Don't bother, he didn't watch the video, he just saw the headline and image and his little square peg tried to shove itself into the round hole.

Those old epic Disney cartoons like Sleeping Beauty weren't supposed to be for a female only audience, they had dragons and action in them. It's just that Disney figured out they could market the princesses to girls, but that's a modern thing. I think Zack has some kind of complex about women.

His complex is that he wants to be one. Desperately, and he wants Drinker to fuck him when he is one. Although, maybe Ryan is the new beau?

Will it dawn on Zack that the world does not revolve around him? I guess we'll find out.

I wish I could add more, but honestly, there's not much more to say in this particular video, you covered it perfectly, thanks for taking the fucking bullet on this shit.

 

[MisterCH 86]

Yep, if you still trust SFO and his "Centrism" @Edgeymcedgename & @MisterCH 86, I got some comics to sell you...

Just follow this crowdfunder link-

I don't even know him because I don't keep up with him. But don't you worry from what I learned I don't trust him about nothing. As far narcissism goes according to Stupor Mario...EVS would know all about that, after all he is one. The guy is also lazy as fuck.

Great win for whoever this is. I don't even care about the money being raised, I'm fixated on that 'books sold' compared to 'backers'.

Ethan has how many live viewers per show? They can't drop him one purchase once and get this amazing book? But I'm supposed to believe some random no-name on YouTube community tab saying that Eric July's business is dying?

Oh is THAT what they are saying? Yeah, usually when a company is dying, it ends up doing less not more. Someone should make a discussion post about Eric July's haters. I guarantee everyone will get good laughs out of them here, they are worse and more delusional than the SJWs now. They can call it "Rippa derangement syndrome" or RDS.

He's a fascinating kind of weirdo to study. He seems to create ideas based on superficial bits of information and then fixate on these ideas absolutely. Zack comes up with a premise and then runs with it regardless of the facts. He seems to imagine that his private revelations are absolute truths. Zack the Prophet, peace be upon him.

For example, his talking point that the BPCs are obsessed with Disney princesses. There has been virtually no talk about Disney princesses by the BPCs for quite awhile now. But that's because it hasn't been part of the current news cycle. The BPCs do not constantly talk about Disney princesses, they talk about whatever is current and topical from day to day and from week to week. But Zack doesn't tune into these guys' live streams, so he wouldn't know.

(Also, since we're on the subject, I find it amusing that Zack tries to attack the maturity of the BPCs by saying they're obsessed with Disney Princesses. Dude, in your latest video you're at a birthday party rock concert trying to wax philosophical about how the stage jam is like the perfect harmony of how things should be for you. You sound like some kind of stoned teenager.)

I thought it was pretty hilarious when he was talking about that. Not to sound like Tim Pool over here but it reminded me of that episode of South Park when Cartman got beat up by a girl, then mistakenly thought that the other kids were trying to make him feel better so they must think he is cool.

Ha - the video is perfect. Cartman and Zack are both equally delusional in how they misinterpret reality around them.

I wish I could add more, but honestly, there's not much more to say in this particular video, you covered it perfectly, thanks for taking the fucking bullet on this shit.

Sometimes Zack videos are mind-numbingly boring and repetitive. The video before this one was just Zack in traffic repeating the same talking points he always does. But some of these videos (like this one) are fun to review, because you never know what dumb revelation is going to pop into Zacks mind.

If you let people talk, a lot of times they'll reveal more about themselves than they even realize they're doing. It's funny to listen to how Zack thinks he's at the center of the universe, something he'll tell you in total candor as if it's just a fact. He has little to no self-awareness. (That trait that makes lolcows lolcows.)

I don't even know what taffeta is, let alone imitation taffeta. Seems like something only women and faggots would know about. Maybe Zack needs to try couch surfing at Joe Glass's house.

Wait... so Zack's saying that we haven't even seen the worst shithead version of himself yet?

But Zack doesn't tune into these guys' live streams, so he wouldn't know.

If I explained to him that the Wizard of Oz wasn't a Disney Princess movie, would he say, "Only a homo would know that, homo." In fact, Disney has somewhat poisoned the well for Wicked by doing Maleficent and Cruella, which are similar premises but not musicals as far as I know. I honestly don't really care for the underlying premise, "Let's give the completely evil villainess a stupid, sympathetic backstory." If I were Cruella De Ville, I'd sue Disney and use the money to build a Dalmatian farm.

The Critical Drinker, in a video that I think had a few dings at Zack in it, said he saw it with his girlfriend on the stage and that he enjoyed it. Zack probably finds the sentence, "Saw it with his girlfriend" baffling. Possibly even finds the word "girlfriend" baffling given his pump and dump lifestyle. My late wife used to pick the movies too, that's how I ended up seeing Catwoman in the theater. You do these things when you are in a relationship with a woman, just as you see kids movies when you have kids.

Zack's insults are a like a spazzy reflex of a guy lashing out wildly. Most of them don't make any sense. Apparently he doesn't realize that they only end up making him look ridiculous.

 

[Mr Processor]

Didn't Zack used to have a lot more shorts than this:

These are mostly about him obsessing about a woman who works at Marvel whose job he wants.

Anyway, the reason I checked is because I believe that Zack at least used to care about growing his channel and was creating shorts for that reason. However, I think his bizarre behavior lately is going to lead to a total channel collapse eventually. I mean we'll still watch him for the laughs, but normal people will just be horrified.

I'm not sure why a dude who's behind on books that are customer backed thinks its a good idea to brag about their consoomer spending. It's not like he has a job, this is money meant to fund books. No wonder why cg can't deliver books because they buying shit with backer money.

So he’s doing it again. He already did this with that arcade cabinet he admitted he wouldn’t actually play.

He 100% is just one of the pros he’s obsessed over now. Imagine Vita bragging about buying some expensive junk after e-begging for rent or work. He’d have 20 community meltdowns by noon.

Zack is an Artiste who deserves whatever he wants, because he produces fucking awesome comic books. Your role is to pay him and to validate him. Just give him money and don't ask questions. (And remember, on-time books are all garbage, so don't be expecting your comic any time soon.) He is also a very mature and serious businessman who would never waste time playing VR games (or rocking out at birthday concerts) when he has outstanding customer obligations that haven't been met.

(He's probably trying to desperately unorder this like he says he does all the time with his other stupid impulse buys.)

 

[BlankSpaceBaby]

Wait, he has no job as well as no home?

Oh my. He must be giving up the ass to whoever that is rooming him because I doubt there are many people that would take him in for free.
