EVS has started a gofundme for Ya Boi, already almost at 20k in 40 min, 1/2 has come from one donation

Current Live-stream

Prep for salt

Edit: >20k in less than 1h
EVS should have toned down that description. He sounds like hes going on a righteous crusade just like Mark Waid says in his GoFundMe description. It should also say that Yaboi Zack isnt affiliated with the GoFundMe in any way

Defamation you can sue over.
That helps thanks. Seriously what qualifies as defamation you can sue over?
 
  • Agree
Reactions: Marvin
Here's a quick tl;dw of Zack's video. Important (IMO) or new stuff italicized.

  • Hadn’t planned to do video, decided to do so after Ethan started IGG
  • “I wanted lawsuit to go differently and they’re steering into a way I didn’t like”
  • Waid lies about me being a white nationalist, doxxing comics employees
  • Had to learn what AP learned over 30 years, no trial-and-error
  • AP dumping happened on May 11, suit filed in late September
  • Thinks if he had initiated suit earlier, maybe Simeti backlash wouldn’t have happened
  • Reiterates AP guy cried on phone call, still don't blame him, he was bullied
  • We didn’t get to the lawsuit right after AP event, busy moving, etc.
  • Peter Simeti/Alterna’s “no block” policy controversy happens
  • Waid comes back to Twitter to target Simeti, large backlash, some Alterna creators/ex-creators turn on him
  • Night letters analogy
  • “My friends, family, fans, the characters I create are more diverse than the lunch room at the United Nations”
  • Simeti’s claim of being suicidal
  • Waid & Co tried to get suicide charity to reject money
  • Simeti targeting “changed how I look at all this”
  • “Off-the-ranch, unhinged bully”
  • Comics are a business
  • People supported Simeti, but that doesn’t undo mental anguish
  • “One person, at the back, directing people”
  • Waid lives in Santa Monica, very expensive, but still fundraising
  • Amanda & Pierce-Outlaw
  • Waid’s “Come find me” if Meyer attends convention
  • Meyer’s stalkers
  • Doyle doxxing arrest record, lying about child support debt
  • “One of things I wanted… return the idea of seriousness,” but Waid’s GFM & Zaid’s antics
  • Waid’s antics “affected me, but that’s probably the smallest thing,” Semeti & others have had it worse
  • “Shot across the bow,” “you can’t do this,” somebody needs to fight back
  • Lawyers think Waid will settle
  • Desired settlement terms: Admission of guilt, apology to AP, damages, “gentleman’s agreement to stay out of each other’s business”
  • Waid has “savior complex,” protector of women/POC, but that lets him feel more powerful & attack them
  • “He’s very proud of this temper and anger”
  • There’s no good faith on the other side
  • Delay blacklisted for not hating Zack enough
  • Back-channel coordination has to stop, anti-biz, anti-customer
  • Supporter of LCS, but stores have been cut out
  • Told AP he will stop IGG campaign so book will only be available in stores
  • Bullying only benefits Waid’s ego; doubt it’s helped him sell books
  • “He does not protect the weak”
  • Protected Braganza but calls me a serial harasser of women
  • “I didn’t want to do a GFM” but this is a proxy war in the culture war, like Vietnam
  • I don’t have support network like Waid
  • 100% will go to my lawyers
  • “This lawsuit didn’t need to happen,” Waid could have just stuck to verbal insults, he went too far
  • Economy’s great, but comics sales down, stores closing, it should be the opposite
  • I no longer think he’ll settle
  • This is a serious matter, but Zaid is clowning, it’s not funny
  • Starts getting salty but then his phone dies
  • I’m not going to talk about it anymore until it’s over
  • “We need to establish some ground rules”
  • “I don’t know how long this video’s gonna be up”
  • Thank you very much for supporting me & others who have been attacked
ETA: Apparently Meyer has just taken this video down pending review by his attorneys as per the current ComicsGate Live stream. If nobody backed it up and he doesn't put it back up, YOU'RE WELCOME plz send to my kickfundme

I have it cached on my phone. No idea how to extract it.
 
Whats with all the photos that just appeared on the GFM?

Which GFM? Just checked both and nothing looks abnormal.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwH6O45Fpt4 but it's down now.

This is for the anti-Waid fund.
I assume they're talking about the snarky comments on Waid's GFM. But I assume it's not necessary to actually donate to a campaign to be able to comment on its page. (But if it is, yes, shame on these people.)

ETA: @neural shared a rip of the video in the #Comicsgate thread: https://my.mixtape.moe/xxjupj.mp4
 
WHAT!? You agree with my politics but still side with Meyer!?:

Well, that guy restored a tiny sliver of my faith in humanity.

I remember a time when if someone got revenge on someone because he didn't like their politics, and in response simply tried to destroy the man's livelihood and get his publishing contract revoked to censor his book, opinion would have been unanimous that whoever did that was the villain and a garbage person.

I have been absolutely disgusted to see people line up and support Mark Waid's infantile, vindictive temper tantrum. They should be ashamed of themselves.
 
Possibly more fitting for the Comicsgate thread but I'm reading Ren freak out about the Pro-Meyer GoFundMe and my brain hurts reading some of these tweets. They...uh....don't really know how this works and I know a neutral explanation might just cause them to get block happy.

has anyone considered that this entire charade was inducted in the first place in order to prevent a jury trial?

Shenanigans by defendants does not help to cause mistrials or avoid the court proceeding as normally. They just cause them to lose faster. So yeah, I guess if that's the goal they can "prevent a jury trial". Not the best way to go about it though.
 
Absolutely not. It's the method i'd expect a lolcow to take.

I sincerely hope someone is getting a thread on zackie boi ready. I think he's more than deserved it.

Please make that thread on Meyer. I'd like to see it.
