Wild. I wonder what has the guy so spooked - Could it really be that Ren has something on him?

It looks like he's using the blog section on his website to replace his twitter feed.

Like most threads on the farm, I’m just here for the sanity check.

Waid is a ghoul, and his bullying has finally caught up with him.

Zaid is wildly unprofessional, and I’m surprised his social media antics haven’t caught him professional issues.

The woke crowd needs to do an examination of their life choices that lead them to post hundreds of gross tweets a day in support of fucking Disney of all things. Go on a diet, volunteer more and shut your arrogant hypocritical mouths....

Anti- CG is not fucking around anymore. They've been hitting these guys hard for the past week. Even I'm like DAMN!!

I doubt Nerkish leaving is anything too shady. He is very protective of his kid (not surprising when you think of how uncaring this parents were of him). Plus he has MS, which is triggered by stress. It really was better for him to leave, I think. Which is a damn shame. I miss cancercast and his old videos.

Hmm. I'm betting a lot of the family stuff is schtick. Him, Cecil and Nasser are mostly internet characters, IMO, so I don't really put much stock into their back stories.

That being said, right now, we have zero evidence that Ren doxxed or has anything on Nerkish, and only the flimsiest of evidence that she doxxed TUG. I think both us and the pro-CG twittersphere would do well to back off the accusations and speculation until more facts come out. So far we have no proof that Ren is involved with anything more than being your average USI-laden attention whore on Twitter.

Ren seems to get off on people thinking she actually has the power to do anything other than flail around autistically screeching, so people need to quit giving her credit.

I get the feeling Perlmutter doesn't give a shit about his company, myself. When you're buddies with Trump who gives a shit about some dumb costumed heroes?

Perlmutter gives a shit about his money. He gives no shits about the funny books or the bizarre morlocks he actively avoids paying to create them. I think somebody once actually tried to get him to read one of his products and the idea appalled him. And that was way back in the good years.
 
Edit: Does anyone consider themselves a CG supporter?
Only in the sense that I support multiple viewpoints and prefer opposite politics for artist and writer on works, like one is left and the other right. I find that the best work always turns out that way when you have two people who can spot what the other is overlooking. I also support alternative means of production such as IndieGoGo or similar, I dislike that there's pretty much a monopoly on distribution and really hope such things can put one hell of a dent in that. I dislike people being blacklisted solely based on politics and not behavior -- as is the case with Aubrey or Waid and even then Aubrey got shitcanned for their bullshit. I also wish people would look up the word subtlety in the dictionary and find out it does in fact exist.

I'm really only a supporter in that fashion, otherwise comics haven't interested me since I was a kid and the only reason I backed Doug TenNapel's Bigfoot is because I genuinely enjoy his work and really enjoyed Ratfist. I also backed Patriotika because I like spins on mythos and that one wasn't terrible, but I'm likely not to continue backing it as finances aren't as keen as they once were and there are other things that largely won over my attention. It's really not a bad comic, though, it's pretty old school from what I remember of said school.

As others have said here, Ike was never a comics guy. He came from the toy industry and has always been more focused on Marvel's licensing potential. As long as the stupid fucks running his funny book production don't run up a $1,000,000+ loss, then he's not getting into it.
 
I'm convinced some of these larger anonymous donations are comics/entertainment industry people who've had run-ins with Waid before and just want to see him get stomped.

or/and people who work in comics, film, entertainment, etc.. Industry who are tired of these far leftist SJW type and are afraid to give their opinion without getting some backlash and eventually losing their job.

And I really hate the far lefts bullshit fantasy ideology. such as white privilege, systemic racism, all cops are evil, fuck white people, BLM, Pink Tax, Wage Gap, forced diversity, Censorship, MSM lying, attack anybody a inch from the far left, Antifa/Bam, Hate Facts, etc..etc..etc.

so, I support CG, or I support common sense or reality
 
Edit: Does anyone consider themselves a CG supporter?

Ehhhh... yes and no. I do think anti-CG do make some decent points, but at the same time, I feel like they're stupid for not acknowledging any genre or series that isn't capeshit. Like I've said several times before, there's series out there like 'Love and Rockets' or any of Fantagraphics' library that they conveniently ignore for one reason or another; or graphic novels like 'Persepolis' or 'Fun Home'. Plus, a lot of this grief could have been avoided had they just ignored Zack and his ilk, but some people just love spooling for a fight. Like Mark Waid, whose temper may or may not have landed in him the hot water to end all hot water scenarios. It also doesn't help that some downright bad, if not illegal behavior from them goes unpunished and at times, rewarded. It's disgusting.

Likewise, I think pro-CG make decent points (i.e. shoehorning politics and forced tokenism where it doesn't feel appropriate, and forsaking a good story for socjus brownie points), but I don't think they realize that some of their tactics are not much different from those of anti-CG. Some of their numbers see, say, a black character in a Marvel or DC comic or a new female character in a licensed comic, and they automatically start sperging out. But to their credit: at least they're putting up instead of shutting up, and actually making the comics they want to see. But I don't think spergy lolcows like EVS (whose obsession with mutilating Rose Tico could land him in huge trouble if the wrong people rightfully misinterpret it as him wanting to kill Kelly Marie Tran, since it does come off that way sometimes) really help in the long run, but that's just my disdain of EVS speaking.

But both sides are so set in their beliefs, that trying to reason with either of them is hard. That in turn drives people like me to think they're just a bunch of idiots who should be locked in a cage and allowed to duke it out until the last man is standing.
