If anybody wants to see some great pearl clutching read the responses to the NPR tweet
Gosh, I... I wonder what's the underlying theme here... what's the one thing they all have in common that set this off...? It couldn't be moral busybodies bothering hobbies and demanding they conform to their whim. I mean, surely people learned that no one likes a moral busybody from what happened in the 80's and 90's, right? Surely...
 
Looks like Cash Grab is dead. People are saying it is the fault of the WarCampaign. I'm not too surprised. I figured that it was cancelled after Nerkish nuked all his shit. What sucks is that, apparently, Nerkish and Tim never even talked to Cecil and he found out on Twitter. I knew Tim was slimy, but I'm surprised at Nerkish.

Please post archives/caps next time.

This is the one I’m really really bummed about. Wtf did the War Campaign do? That may be the closest we get on the CG side to the level of spergery we routinely see from the Anti-side.
We've already reached the autism singularity way before that. When we started a thread about grown men and women debating the ethics and politics of a dying art form. Even fucking Gamergate at least had spergs fighting to save the soul of a billion-dollar-industry. Not some dying husk of a formerly-great-industry.

Think about it, we've seen people lose their jobs, people filing lawsuits against one another, stalkers, faildoxing, and various forms of assorted faggotry, all over colored drawings of superpeople in spandex.

The problem with Comics is primarily a business model/value proposition problem, not a cultural one. The market already knows what it wants, and what it wants is not American Comics as they are published now, as you can see from the huge erosion in total comics sales. If anything could have saved comics, it would have been the Capeshit boom, but it didn't. This tells you that even though superhero stories are definitely in, Superhero comics are no longer a core part of the collective zeitgeist.

Anyone who thinks that SJWs or Alt-Righters are a problem that should be dealt with ahead of that is just an autist who needs therapy.

Maybe I don't get the rules here, and I mean no disrespect, @emspex, but if it's LNC, who is a doxxer, a liar, and a turncoat, then feel free to ban us right now for smack-talking that jerk if you're so obliged.
LOL you basically described the entire site here, where exactly do you think you are? :story:

From what you've described, he would be a far-better-than-expected fit here.

You huge, ginormous autist, exactly why should he come here if he has you and others act as his personal secretaries and post everything he wants to say to us anyways?

If he's an attention seeker, then he found your attention, and if he's a troll, then you're sure as fuck taking his bait. Stop doing that.

He can come in and make the thread himself if he wants, so does Renfamous and @Death Ray. If the threads are funny and well-researched, they will be instated just fine, even if people here chimp out about it. Again, there's no need to be these people's secretaries, they have internet connections too, and can come here just fine and post what they've got.

We're gonna need more popcorn in this thread.
Amen to THAT. :popcorn::popcorn::popcorn:

Im his personal secretary? I already refused direct contact with him.

And who knows? Maybe he has something of substance to report.

Im increasingly doubtful however, as he seems reluctant to present his evidence.

Yeah no shit hes starved for attention, i can see the lack of activity in the wake of his twitter posts.

And i figure i may as well take the time to respond to him since he took the time to post messages for me.

This isn't even to the quality of video game Jack Thompson. This is in the style of a younger, starry-eyed, 2 Live Crew attacking Jack Thompson. He didn't win then, either. (Technically still the 90s, though, since he sent his letter to Janet Reno asking her to destroy them on Jan 1, 1990.)

Edit: God damn, I forgot how much shit Jack Thompson pulled. Imagine being such a sperg about cracking down on the 1st Amendment that you get Eazy-E invited to a good sized Republican fundraiser. The democrats were really horrible on free speech then, even worse than now.

Do you see how those two statements contradict? By posting his pleas for Kiwi contact and replying to them, you are in effect being his secretary, he doesn't need to register here while he's got you relaying his messages, my friend.

And who knows? Maybe he has something of substance to report.

If he has something, he should just nut up and post it, you don't have to be his speech therapist and coax words out of him.

And here I was, thinking about 'Banned in the U.S.A.'.

Has that whole Nerkish/EVS drama been covered somewhere in this thread? I just found out about it last night when he announced they were walking away from the CashGrab book. Weird that they threw Cecil under the bus because he wouldn't disown EVS. And did so publicly on Twitter, and that it was Lim doing the disowning, not Nerkish.



Personally, never really cared for Nerkish. One of those mildly entertaining YouTubers that is nowhere near as funny as he seems to think he is. Still didn't see this coming. And, yeah, I do kind of wonder what was going on on Nerkish's Discord that was so bad. Or at any rate bad enough to wind up EVS.

A whole stream of CG mi.lk I never saw coming.
 
Fresh breaking drama.

Lauren looked up the name from one of the larger donations to Zack's GFM, and reported it as being "fraudulent" even though she had no proof. She also posted the work information and picture of the lady she found, and got called out.

Welp, turns out the donation was totally legit and people are already calling up this lady's work. She's going to be talking to EVS tonight about it.

They've become pro-doxing and I love it.

:cunningpepe:
 

Look at that Hodco moron.

"found it was a fake donation". Um, EVS just confirmed that she is real and so was her money.

Also, this might not be doxing, but this sure as shit was Ren attempting to direct a hate mob against a woman, and she was willing to do it to a woman that she never even verified beforehand of actually having anything to do with comicsgate.
 
Well, it was a matter of time before they raised the stakes yet again. Lauren needed to stay relevant since everyone is starting to just block her.

The Anti-side has taken quite a few losses & are foreseeing a number more in the near future (Waid in court, more books being delivered, more projects being developed, etc) while the industry continues to slowly crumble around them, they’re throwing a temper tantrum. It’s not like they’ve shown themselves capable of accepting defeat gracefully.
 
Maybe I've been a Kiwi too long, but why would you donate a good chunk of change to someone and not do it anonymously? Did she somehow not know about the CG dumpster fire?
A lot of people don't grasp how the rules have changed, and why anonymity might be the better part of valor. Doxing? Harassment? Over comics or vidya? Even people nominally in our corner are surprised by this. But that's progressivism for you; always treat any opposition as the devil.

She probably used her gfm account that she also donates cash to other causes. All I can honestly say is fucking lol that Ren claimed it was a fake donation and spergs began harassing her immediately only for it to be true. Hope boy talk about the one Target not to hit.

It's not progressivism really, it's spergs who think their ridiculous sperg war over children's books are worth going over and beyond in this manner.. Remember that some pro-CG sperg was already threatening Renfamous with her dox before we dropped it here.

You can kinda tell that this kind of sperg war is not really her forte. I bet she thought she was hot shit when she found that woman's number. :story:
