Interrupting to crosspost from Vaedo thread. I would have replied there, but my commentary has nothing to do with the Pedo directly.

I just find it interesting that Richard doesn't seem to go after negative nellies such as Vaedo right now (obviously due to the alliance with the Frogpire) despite him making almost exactly the same "BPC" slop. Which just gives credence to the fact that he only talks shit about people who he doesn't like directly, and isn't about the greater "save the art" bullshit crusade he goes on.

To keep it on recent topic - It's amazing to me how absolutely brain dead this 40 year old man has to be to shit on someone when they do positive review of new thing, and also bad review of new thing. Drinker has always put out reviews of things randomly if they aren't currently in the social mainstream. So why doesn't Richard just put on his big boy diapers and cry about all the "late" Happy Hours that Drinker makes of older movies. I would normally refuse to believe Richard is so pants shitting retarded that he honestly believes Drinker is getting paid by a small games studio to positively review their Robocop game when Drinker (to my knowledge) never streamed himself playing, or even really talking about the game.

And not that maybe it took Drinker longer to play Robocop than watch a 2 hour movie or something.

I never mentioned Iconic, don't know where that came from. I think there are two ways people define indie. One which I think you believe is simply they aren't Marvel or DC. I have seen people refer to Dark Horse and Valiant as indie, I disagree with that. The second would be more like having indie cred. Comicsgate doesn't have much of it. They are a cartel dependent on Ethan. They aren't a lone wolf out there doing what they want, it's a group with a hierarchy. Some of the ones bringing their books to cons may be building their real world cred up, or maybe it's just a few local youtube fans meeting them there I don't know. But to say comicsgate or rippaverse is a big part of the indie comics scene is overhyping it. Or rather pushing an agenda the type you see in Bounding into Comics etc.
Again, Rippaverse is a indie product. And I know people want to believe only his fans from his original channel are supporting him, but I have seen way too many new people getting into it that NEVER watched his stuff enjoy it to even pretend that to be the case at this point. I really don't understand why people can't accept that at this point ESPECIALLY now, but that's how it is and that isn't changing. I also brought up Iconic because it's the same thing just a different brand. Comicsgate was a movement it was never a company. Rippaverse and Iconic are BOTH brands and companies. Now again I can look up what an indie comic company is for you if you want, because of you have a company and you make comics and SELL them....you're part of the industry. As for Rippaverse and Iconic, their success is more than just hype, but I already know hype is a narrative some people want to go by and I'm done trying to convince them otherwise. Right now Iconic and Rippaverse are the biggest selling Indie comics that don't rely on mainstream ways of selling so far and regardless of what you think of either of them, that's the truth. I see new people not only getting into it but liking it as well.

I'm surprised that retard is STILL obsessing over it. He's never going to keep people who like it from enjoying it, nor is he going to chase anyone new away with the way these people are acting. If Stan Lee and Jack Kirby were alive today, and Marvel Comics came out in this day of age they will be doing the same exact thing AND going by the same exact talking points. It's so obvious even non-fans are seeing it now. Hell I'm even seeing them say they don't get to decide who the fans are nor do they get to decide what quality is. And they are right....these nutcases don't.

So I may not like it but I guess the most common definition is not the big two, so Image is indie comics. That makes it even more absurd when Comicsgate and/or Rippaverse is supposedly the whole of indie comics. Image has a bigger market share than all of the rest of small publishers combined.

Personally I thought of indie as the type of stuff that would be in this sort of shop https://www.desertislandbrooklyn.com/ but maybe that is more "underground"
Rippaverse never even MADE the claim that it's trying to take over anything. In fact they said profusely they're just trying to do their own thing, same with Iconic. So why people still say that is beyond me. And I brought up Iconic because that and the Rippaverse are pretty much the same when it comes to the way they run their business. And since people have a hard time understanding the Rippaverse is an Independent comic brand, I guess I'll just Google it for you. AND I'll Google if the Rippaverse has any intention on taking over ANYTHING in the industry.....I did, and the answers are exactly what I thought they would be. Again I don't care if people don't find it interesting or even like it, but the claims that come out of nowhere need to stop.

Ain't reading that Ai slop.
You bring up Iconic every post when nobody is asking.
It has less to do with what the Rippaverse company themselves are claiming or not and more to do with the fact the term "Indie Comics" is being used more often by fans and promoters in the Comicsgate/Rippaverse sektur. Example one of many: Is this a win for Indie comics? By definition Spawn is an indie comic and McFarlane made hundreds of figures related to that comic. So this is nonsense and fake hype. Just say it's a win for Eric it's not like he shares the profits with every other indie creator.

I probably agree more with what EJ himself said here:
1748626040429.webp

Headlines like above and others seem to be against what he's saying there. I still see videos and tweets asserting indie comics as one big singular thing when they are talking about just Eric or CG. He's also taking a shot at Comicsgate I agree with, they follow certain rules from up high like don't use Kickstarter - that's not really independent.

Finally it will never be not funny to see you buttmunch Eric July and correct people at any mention of him.
Eric July. Rippaverse.

You won't read it because it destroys your sad narrative. If Google itself destroys your narrative, than the only person looking bad right here is you. I'm not going to debate on what qualifies as an independent comic company with ANYONE least of all with you, but I will say this..... Just because you don't like the answer doesn't mean it isn't the answer. Also as far as that post you showed with what he said about Indie comics yeah.... I have a feeling there's more to it than that and you're just misinterpreting him. I don't CARE what you call me, because 1. It just shows that you don't like the fact that I'm proving you wrong and 2. You look like a fool when I do. However regardless of what you go by, they are an Independent comic company, and that's not changing no matter how you put it. The fact this is even a debate in the first place is just.... well Insanity to say the least. Also what's even more insane is people are obsessed with what he does or does not spend his money on like it actually affects them in any way....THAT is insane. And what's even more insane you're still going by that hype narrative KNOWING that people are getting into it and enjoying it, but you are so DESPERATE to make it look more than it actually is at this point..... it's REALLY not that big of a deal, you don't have to like it but don't lie ... it's as simple as that. Lying is what EVS and YBZ do....not anyone here, or at least that was my interpretation. Also...it's 2025, ALOT has changed. If it was run solely on hype, it wouldn't be making or selling as much as it is right now. TRY to accept that truth at least. 👍

Sorry to do a second separate post but I have to say this.....I will NEVER understand the mindset of people who hate the Rippaverse...ever. The things they come up with, the conspiracy theories they repeat, the body language they think they read, the expectations they hold it to AND the claims they make of it. Hell Google itself was able to debunk 1 narrative that I shouldn't have even HAD to do in the first place. You don't have to like the company, but the confirmation bias and cognitive dissonance as when was the tribalism really needs to stop. Seriously like it or not it's here to stay, and that's the Rock bottom truth.

To you and other superfans of rippaverse, any mention of it is hate unless it's explicit praise. I can't even say I agree with him without you saying I'm a hater etc. All i'm doing is pointing out there is a concerted effort to brand this as the "indie space" or similar for a little over a year now.

Buddy, I'm not going to debate this with you to. I already said what I had to say about me not caring if you like it or if you don't but just don't lie about it, but apparently you suffer from confirmation bias just like all the other crazies that complain about it. 🙄 Seriously can you at least pretend to look more credible than this? That talking point has gotten old after almost 3 years straight. Also I never said you were a hater, I just said I don't understand the hate for it...... someone is being a little sensitive here and it ain't me. In fact I'll say it again: "YOU DON'T..... HAVE TO LIKE IT.....I DON'T CARE IF YOU DON'T.....BUT DON'T LIE ABOUT IT". If that's not clear enough, then I don't know what to tell you. Seriously, I'll never understand why people accuse me of being a... whatever sexual perversion people go by just because I disagree with them or prove them wrong somehow. Btw that's not going to do anything for you in winning any arguments. I can accuse you of meat riding me because you want to continue the cognitive dissonance and confirmation bias you clearly are showing.

Whatever straw manning you do won't change the fact people in this space have been trying really hard to call it "Indie Comics" because the word Comicsgate is an embarrassment. While not paying attention to actual independents beyond their youtube friends.

I wil lsay this, I like that Eric not only shouted out a comic he isn't directly involved with, and also a show that he wasn't even featured on. I may just be optimistic but it seems like Eric cares about his group and likes spreading the word even if it seems transactional (MIllar shouting him out first, and being friends with Gary)

Try not to look too deep into this, I'm just saying it's nice to see, as opposed to EVS and Richard and Shane shitting on anything anyone they don't like does and barely shouting out people they do like.

Ok buddy if that's what you want to believe. Like I said I'm not debating something like this with anyone, least of all you. If you want to believe Rippaverse isn't an indie brand, go for it. It's not going to make it any less true, nor is it going to do anything in your favor but whatever.

Yeah there is that.
 

Has anyone from FNT talked about Hamill in the past few months?
Screenshot_20250530-154144_YouTube.webp

Zack is embarrassed that Mark Millar shouted out rippahverse and he needs a famous person to delegitimize his betters.
It dosen't matter that Mark Hamil is a piece of shit.
It dosen't matter that Mark Hamil would hate him personally.
It dosen't matter that Mark Hamil is old, sad, pathetic and irrelevant.
What matters is that he can attack the BRUF DAY QWAWNS with him.
nobody has mentioned Hamill since he lost his pants at an award show. but why is Richard white knighting for a multi-millionaire who'd call him a nazi POS if he ever learned of his existence? this retard feels some bizarre parasocial kinship with lolcow celebrities.
Because he can use him to attack them. It's petty butt hurt nonsense.
Edit:
STOP MAKING VARIATIONS OF TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME!
IT'S NOT FUNNY! IT'S NOT CLEAVER! IT'S NOT FUN!
Your a faggot Zack and your brain is broken

Zack and Mark Hamill would get along just fine if they ever met. They both are POS's and have deranged hate of someone we all know about.
