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

[Maggots on a Train v2]

And not to put too fine a point on this, but the guy is a comic book writer.



Boo fucking hoo. A comic book is 20 pages long and when you're writing for Marvel book all you're really doing is some basic plotting and dialogue.

Here's an example from a Valiant comic, but Marvel's not much different:

Its something you can shit out over an afternoon, two to three days if you actually care about the finished product. Slott isn't working at the docks. He's not a surgeon or an air traffic controller. He's a guy who can literally do his job from bed with a laptop. Give me a fucking break with that crybaby shit.

It really sounds like, as easy as his job is, he had a four day crunch while sick because he fucked off until the deadline was looming. Everybody has done it once. You think you have two weeks, then you get sick, and if you "take it easy" you end up right at the due date with nothing finished.

I was wondering what Ya Boi, being a GI Joe fanboy, would have to say about that dollar store coloring book IDW is passing off as GI Joe: Sierra Madre for $4.99. And now I know.

tl;dw: He went in with a lot of context about the creators and tried to like it, but could not.

Jawbreakers is being shipped and people are already receiving it:

I can’t wait to see the usual spergs pulling the hair out of their wigs about it. Anyone mind checking if Pace, Clay Moore, Kwanzer, etc. have finished shipping their books.

Okay, sure, why not.

• Pace (Midnight Harvest: Sensual Nightmares): Apparently not (last update is private); due May 2014 (4 years, 9 months overdue)
• Moore (Great Big Hawaiian Dick): Apparently not (last update is private); due December 2015 (3 years, 2 months overdue)
• Kwanza: Black and Black: Remastered both shipped within a couple months of the due date.
• Quinn (Kickstarted in the Butt: A Chuck Tingle Digital Adventure): Due February 2017 (two years overdue)

So there's a voice actor called Vic Mignogna that has voiced a lot of anime characters, including one in that theatrical Dragonball Z movie which must be making like 50 times its budget back in America alone. He's a handsome guy and apparently quite popular with teenage girl anime fans and able to pull a big audience at the anime cons he appears at. However, recently there's been allegations that he's been creeping on people and making sexual advances to underage fans and that sort of thing, and he's been fired from a couple of his gigs and disinvited from cons (he probably makes much more money from the latter than the former). One of the companies that fired him claimed that they did an "investigation," so presuming they really did and found enough evidence to fire him, did they take that evidence to the police? Ten bucks says no. Mignogna fans are saying this is a coordinated sinking of his career of a man guilty of no more than being a highly successful voice actor in a competitive field while being an unapologetic Christian. Rackets did a stream about this last night.

Some people are calling this the beginning of AnimeGate along the lines of ComicsGate and GamerGate, but I don't think it's quite the same - it so far hasn't turned against the consumer like those two. But as it involves so far unfounded accusations of sexual impropriety, and as I'm a comedic genius, I've come up with a better name for it: #aniMeToo.

Also you're :late:, twitter already coined that term.

Seeing comic book "professionals" acting like this by being rude to fans and to people in general for petty reasons to the point where it is encouraged by others to do it even it is well deserved makes me even question why are people are even buying from them in the first place when they get called *insert ist/phobic here* or general insults coming from people who have a mentally of high schoolers. Again these are """professionals""" comparing them to other industries of other media like Manga for example there is strong contrast.

When you're interacting with your consumers online and one of them says something mean or attacks you there are two options:

1) Ignore them. You're the creator, and chances are nobody cares about their dumbass opinion.

2) Respond with a tactful sales pitch. How hard is it to type "Hey weedlordbonerhitler420, when I started at Marvel X years ago I had one dream; to write for Spiderman. When I wrote X,Y and Z I was begging for Spiderman and now I have my dream! As a writer, this series means more than 'just a paycheck' to me, and I hope my scripts help make it more than 'just a comic' for you. Happy reading!"

That might take an ounce of professionalism and self control, though.

tl;dr on it (although we have a thread) is he apparently does have a reputation as being a little touchy-feely, so there might be some fire behind the smoke, but the main people pimping the accusations are hardcore SJWs and have even been caught literally colluding to get their stories straight together and even manufacture claims, and some of the pictures used to show him supposedly creeping were of people who say they weren't creeped on and what happened in the pic was consensual and stop using my pic please.

Also he's a Christian and they want to get him for that, too.

Regardless of what one thinks of EVS I do take him at his word when he talks about his fellow comic pros still in the industry as being, for the most part, absolute basket cases. Gigantic weirdos who can barely function in normal society (away from Twitter). It does make me wonder though why he was ever friends with someone like Richard Pace.

Ethan seems, for the most part, honest when it really counts. You only need look to his semi-regular Cyberfrog updates and posting the receipts for charity donations.

Him ripping Mike S. Miller for his forging spergery while essentially saying afterwards "yes he's a dummy, but he's our dummy" sort of proves that. He made no excuses for Mike but he also put it in some perspective.

Oh, thank you. I searched for "mignogna" to see if a thread existed yet before posting in this one, but nothing relevant showed up. But I've found the search tool on this thing to be pretty sketchy before.

EVS got his copy of Jawbreakers (with his own cover) and reviews it in a familiar manner. "It was much better than Iron Sights. Much better than Iron Sights." Some spoilers - I'd recommend avoiding this video if you're waiting for your copy to come.

They’re all years old (except Anthony, he’s almost a year old) so I’m pretty sure they arent just socks.

Did... did they all forget Ethan has a second channel?

 

[Stock Image Photographer]

They’re all years old (except Anthony, he’s almost a year old) so I’m pretty sure they aren't just socks.

I was going to say, if the pics didn't say "Joined in 2010" I'd assume this was either a sock or a false flag.

Someone decided to SWAT Simeti.

Guess his wrong think is becoming intolerable.

 

[Love Soze]

Shit. This was during a live stream? Did anyone get it?

[Detrogen]

The anti-CG crowd is now willing to risk a man getting killed over not telling his customers to go fuck themselves. No matter how exceptional any one CG sperg is, they’re not actually hurting anyone.

 

[Crabbo]

Any bets on who?
Or how long until the swatter starts bragging to get backpats?

 

[Least Concern]

It should be noted that Simeti does not self-identify as a ComicsGater, but he gets lumped in with them because he won't denounce them loudly enough for some peoples' tastes and also he doesn't like blockbots, so that warrants attempted murder via cop, apparently.

Fuck. I hope whoever did that was stupid enough to do it in a way that will get them caught.
