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

[Buck Mullet]

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.

Just more examples of the cosplay hag being mentally unstable.

Ren is a great name for her, and that's how I see her, as a yapping, psychotic chihuahua.

Ren's not above pimping out a child for gotcha's now. Throwing her out there to face hate or creepiness and pitching a fit when none of that materialized.

Given her relentless obsession with CG in lieu of a worthier pastime, i've thought the married shrew's moniker was short for "barren".

I was sad to see Robbi 'Literal Asshole' Rodriguez's name in the credits for the new Spiderman movie. I think it was just some of his artwork was used as fake comic covers in the film, though.

That and designing Spider-Gwen's (admittedly cool) costume...which he hilariously thinks means Gwen Stacy is his 'daughter' in that spat he had with Frank Cho a couple of years ago. To this day, I can't look at her without imagining her yelling "OUTRAGE!" at something.

 

[Done]

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).

Even Donny Cates strikes me as a nice guy who just buckled under pressure. He probably didn’t really think about CG beforehand, and probably wouldn’t have thought about it after if the WarCampaign autists didn’t keep tagging him in shit.

Keep in mind that comics creators are far less insulated from this autism storm than developers were during Gamergate. Unlike video games, which are typically made by larger teams under the umbrella of a corporate entity, and whose names typically show up in a credits scroll that no one ever reads, any given comic tends to be made by 3 people whose names are directly printed in the comic's cover.

This means that the average comics creator tends to get more public questions from Pro/Anti-CG autists than any random dev staff member did during GG, and as a result, get pushed into corners much easier.

What jokes? Did she make any? (Serious question)
EDIT:
Does her reply look condescending to anyone else or is it just me?

She was being kinda condescending with it, but IMO, this is far less than the expected vitriol you typically get from those types.

If you actually click on the hashtag on Twitter, and delete your memories of who you know have done bad things, the whole thing just looks to the uninitiated like an elevated playground argument with little substance. "You're a meanie" "You called me a name" "NU-UH!" Yes, even from usually level-headed and monotone people like Ethan. It's just easier to call the anti side out on things because they're the ones claiming tolerance while letting all their rules go the minute push comes to shove.

I'm not a comics fan, and I'm not sure most people under the age of 35 who fit in a specific interest niche are. Most of the interest does come from fans, but some of it from people who were either involved in the broader culture war or are casual fans of the movies who are curious as to why the comics that the properties are based on during a golden age of superhero movies/TV aren't that popular. And it does fall on the creators to address these things and improve them rather than get defensive and hurl accusations of bigotry and namecall when all the pro side is doing is at worst monotone griping about how they would like better products.

 

[Crabbo]

It's pretty obviously that Ren is putting a spotlight on that girl because she was hoping that Meyer would take the bait.....


Come on, Ren - you've got to try harder than that.

She has been going after EVS too long.
She forgets that Meyers doesn't take bait so easily, and was the more diplomatic of the two in responses.

Kinda, but I'm willing to give her the benefit of the doubt along the lines of awkward and doesn't know what to say. She's a young girl with a small channel that doesn't get many views, indoctrinated into SoJus talking points, 'blasts' the creators and a supposed 'ally' attempted to throw her to the evil/racist/homophobic wolves. Now the other party turns up and doesn't act like wolves, but are instead polite and respectful and she doesn't know what to say.

I find it funny that the “Real future of the industry” uses pirated copies.

Frankly it could be a smart move if Ya Boi sent her a copy of Jawbreakers just to take a shit all over Ren for being a vindictive cunt. I could see it causing massive REEEs on the anti side and the CG side would probably get a laugh out of it, a drawback of course would be 'REEE trying to doxxxxxxxxxxxx' accusations.

I'm Christian and this is kind of cringe. Yeah, its bad but you don't have to read it or even acknowledge it. From a religious point of view, the people who made that comic will pay their dues with god, so why bother with this spectacle?

I feel like this is a good time to drop a link to Neal Adams' "Son-O-God" comic.

Japan already did it better tho.

Interesting to see that Sunman, a character from a cancelled NES game, is finally being brought into the mainstream.

What a weird way to remake

There would be very little outrage. Muslims would just kill them and everyone would carry on with their lives in a "boys will be boys" manner. It would have "shocking" news coverage for a few days.

What the hell is this all about? It reads like a bad joke or something.

Well the South Park Muhammad censorship / controversy is well documented even Wikipedia has to acknowledge it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Park_controversies#Censorship_of_the_depiction_of_Muhammad

I still believe one of the best SP episodes is the 'super best friends' in which religious figures are depicted as the super friends / justice league. too bad the network cucks caved to pressure and it's never shown in syndication (along with ep 200-201 due to Muhammad).

But DC is owned by Time Warner, which is now part of/owned by AT&T. An awful lot of those 100,000 butt hurt Christians are likely AT&T stockholders, not to mention customers. AT&T is not the deeply penetrated bastion of Social Justice that Warner Brothers is. They will ask questions about this with regard to brand damage.

So they think Rob’s new and original character “Post-AvX Cyclops” is secretly Squirrel Girl in a mask? Why? And if it’s a top-secret trojan horse why tweet about it?
