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

I still can't get over the fact the online leftist autismo crowd has become so shut in and self-masturbatory that they think that insulting a large portion of their fanbase is not only okay, but actually the morally right thing to do. Like these people literally hop on Twitter every day to talk shit about the few people that actually still care about comic books, it's the most self-defeating thing I've ever seen

Sure, Scott. We can talk, but only after you disavow and call out the bad actors in Anti-CG for the threats (passive-aggressive, or otherwise) and harassment they handed out. Then I will know that you want a dialogue in good faith, but I know that will never happen. Why? Because your side never act in good faith because you hold CG to a standard you never attempt to hold yourselves to. If I am to hold YOU personally to the same standards you hold CG to, your silence on the threats your student, Mags, issued on Twitter is tacit approval. Don't bother trying to make excuses for her. She is an adult and she knew what she was doing. Rationalizing her actions is akin to rationalizing the actions of a toddler throwing a temper tantrum.

Same with Robbie Rodriguez. What he did was sexual harassment. FULL. STOP. Rational people do not tweet pictures of their hairy anuses to people they dislike on Twitter. Again, your silence is tacit approval of his actions and usage of harassment against enemies of your "community." Do I need do bring up what's-her-face and her musings about what amounts to genocide? You disgust me on so many levels, Scott Snyder. You may try to present yourself as an amicable fellow, but you are a coward and a hypocrite. I have no tolerance for the the latter. Unlike your ilk, I can separate the art from the artist, so I will buy your works if I deem them worthy of purchase. Don't believe for a second that means that I am obligated to kiss your ass or defer to you on ethics. Especially when your personal ethics are worth as much as a gallon of sludge from the sewage treatment plant.

Fix your goddamn community before you presume to lecture us, the customers, on proper behavior. These people you defend are malignant personalities whose narcissism and emotional fragility are accelerating the collapse of your livelihoods. It's our money to spend and we'll spend it on people who will not throw slurs ending in "-ist" or "-phobe" (which have lost all meaning) because you're too sensitive to accept criticism. Richard C. Meyer was a nobody recording reviews in his living room on his phone, until you made him goddamn Voldemort. Your constant panicking and attempts to suppress him have made him more influential while he didn't have to do a damn thing. You know what the funny part of all this is? I would sooner associate with Meyer because he's more genuine than you smarmy blockheads. None of you are worth respecting and the only thing you are worthy of is mockery and contempt.

In short: fuck off, Scott, you disingenuous prick.

I need a drink.

EDIT: If they accuse me of being a Nazi, I will tell them that Mel Brooks recruited me.

Say that to him on Twitter. I want to see how he'll react.

It's almost as insane as 99.9% of them promoting an economic system that has proven time and time again to lead to nothing but misery.

98% of “geek” news websites, SJWs always have those in lockstep. I’m sure there’s some autism to be found on Tumblr or Wordpress sites. I know for sure on Facebook in private groups or otherwise.

EDIT:
I just remembered this sped buying a domain:

Hey CG lurkers, don’t let this chance pass. Turn it on them.

Are you seriously encouraging him to link his Twitter account to his KF one?

Also, no trolling plans.. etc

Well, that convinced me to put on the brakes. The one question I would have to ask myself is: what difference would it make? Snyder is just the latest in a long line of creators who are reading from the exact same script. They see themselves as a community and will circle the wagons rather than try to empathize with their increasingly-dissatisfied customers who likewise see themselves under attack for expressing their opinions. Perhaps the one piece of solace I can find in this is that their accusations of bigotry ring hollow because they overplayed that hand.

It's because they don't love comics.

Not the medium, not the art, not the characters, not the history, not the fans, nothing about it makes them happy.

They only like the idea of being comic gatekeepers and excluding those from the fandom/industry that don't pass their personal moral purity checks and punishing the wrong-thinkers.

They didn't get into the industry to produce anything and attract fans, they joined up to specifically exclude and chastise those who don't deserve to have any hobby to call their own because they're on the wrong side of history and must suffer for it. They don't like cake, but they love holding a slice of cake in front of a person they dislike while saying "See this? Well, YOU CAN'T HAVE IT!" and tossing it on the ground to spite the "Nazi".

It's why titles that sell like shit are seen as such a positive thing, it means the comics fans are getting exactly what they deserve for being immoral..... strife and misery! That is their goal, not happy fans, unhappy fans.

If they woke up one morning and they were the only comic fan left, they'd orgasm as to them it'd mean they were the only one worthy of the honor, and that the title "fan" had finally been cleansed of all it's shame, not stand in mute shock that they'd destroyed the whole institution.

I get that but I mean the sycophants who defend this shit?
Why don't they understand that they have no fucking issue with non-white/female characters, they just hate how boring and PC it's gotten and want it to go back to the glory days.

Either they actually believe the lies they've been told, being ignorant or gullible enough to not know they are being lied to. Or the fans aren't fans of comics, but are fans of far-left politics and social justice. Defending comics is "free virtue" (I heard that on this forum when talking about Elon Musk and not buying a Tesla).

This is so fucking stupid, "leave CG and say that" its a fucking hashtag Scott, not a secret society. People are still gonna hold the same opinions.

Reminds me of the whole "leave GG and stand for ethics on your own" argument that ultimately anyone who tried was labelled as a gamergater.

I think you misunderstand what their motivation actually is.

The whole thing is money making for them, because the current situation of the big 2 used as character mills for movies/tv shows..etc enables them to do no-effort work, get paid and get no criticism, and they see someone trying to disrupt that. What other industry would hire people like Gail Simone or Mark Waid or Mags Visaggio? None. Even the projects they may get outside comics are mostly on comics adaptations, and usually adaptations of their own stories.

So you get those hacks, and you also get a mix of social climbers that are trying to curry favor with the "in-clique" so they can get free promotion and possibly small gigs in the mainstream.

Add the two groups together and you get anti-CG.

Oh and Renfamous, who I actually still don't understand why she's into this shit at all, I assume it's because she has connections to the conventions or something like that.

Literally a desperation ploy to join the woke crowd and get attention; it's that simple man.

As for more 'pros' reeeing as of late, it just makes the hypothesis that they're scared about the upcoming success and promises being met by those guys they decided to Streisand to hell and back more and more valid in my eyes. Probably because it really shows that at best maybe 1k of like the 10k they force to hobby stores are sold and thus they have no value to the industry.

None of those three would be able to hold a job at their local Burger King. I will disagree insofar as I believe some anti-CG critics like Snyder see themselves as part of a community and will defend the hacks and social climbers that infest the industry out of (often willful) ignorance. They aren't as malignant an influence as those you listed, but they are freaking enablers.

I've been hearing that the end of the year reports aren't looking so good for Marvel.
