its getting really had using the "separate the man from his art" defense for these types of people. Don't get me wrong, Gail is a horrible writer from the get go but what about good writers like Tom King? or Scott Snyder?
Tom King, as far as I recall, never explicitly mentioned ComicsGate in his phoned-in “denouncement”. Apart from occasional unwelcome political sperging (though I’ve never seen him call for doxxing or violence or anything like that) he stays pretty friendly on social media and regularly has friendly back-and-forths with his collaborators Mitch Gerads (also an incredibly nice guy) and Clay Mann. His general hit-or-miss writing keeps him off the comic pro cult’s radar usually but, at the same time, his lukewarm rebuttal to CG prompts them to occasionally kick him in the nuts for being “problematic” (i.e. the Heroes In Crisis Poison Ivy controversy).
Tom King a good writer? I'm sorry but have you read the Joker vs. Riddler story arc he did?

She admits (16:15) she didn't buy the book, meaning she's reviewing the pirated version Anti-CG spread around. She then starts to moralize at YaBoi about how much better she is than him as a person. Lmao, you read the pirated version, get off your high horse. We all know YaBoi is autistic in his own boomer way but at least he pays for and has the physical copies to review.What jokes? Did she make any? (Serious question)
I tried to watch it, but, ugh, this is a child. I don't really care what someone a third of my age has to say about comics, even if to roast her dumb opinion. But, yes, I'm sure Ren and friends will celebrate her as the future of comics when in reality she's just yet another sped who agrees with them.
Eh. I'm willing to mark it up to a child not knowing how to choose words diplomatically. That being said, children are clearly not the intended audience for a book like this, so I hope Zack doesn't give too much weight to whatever she had to say.Does her reply look condescending to anyone else or is it just me?
Honestly her reply reminds me of how I might act at her age. She assumed her criticisms of Meyer would go totally under the radar, but now he’s in her comments and she feels kind of embarrassed. It’s like your teacher in HS catching you talking shit about them; even if they’re cool about it, it’s still kind of awkward.>Anti-Gamergate

I can see why Ren likes her.
I'll give her credit she did read the book. She's pretty bizarre, at some points in the video she looks like she's about to keel over. She say this is the quality CG speds want, when Iron Sights was at best a trial run. She brings up the Blacklist from nearly 2 years ago, ya know the one only one sped tried and got shit for. She can't enjoy Frank Miller because CG condemns Dave Gibbion? I don't get it. "It has Cartel members doing bad things therefore its not apolitical", what?

Her tweet replies are salty af. She doesn’t get the harassment tweets she was fishing for and then turns extremely butthurt and antagonistic lmfao.
Rich is an utter prick, at least Alterna is trying to sell comics https://twitter.com/petersimeti/status/1079573668215296000 http://archive.li/4MGER
I find it funny that the “Real future of the industry” uses pirated copies.
I know a guy who just got a “job” reviewing comics, and he hasn’t actually bought one in 3 years. The future of the industry is a bunch of people who don’t even think the product is worth the price.
The girl even mentions that she works at a comic shop. I bet its one of those WOKE Comic shops, we'll see her shilling a GFM for her shop soon enough and blaming CG spergs for not buying the crap books.
It's funny in a sad way that Alterna is trying to make a truly diverse selection of comics available to the widest possible audience, but the hipster woke indie crowd has to shit all over it because they are also corporate cocksuckers. Social Justice in a nutshell.
