I'm saying this for the benefit of people who simply read the thread.

I'm sure we're gonna get even more view traffic after the show last night.

EDIT: So everybody needs to put up their best Nazi avatars and shit. We need to make them feel triggered right at home.

Okay, I'm on pg. 725 and though I've fought valiantly, there's no logical way I can catch up to this thread. But I feel like I've missed so much funny shit if I skip...

Regardless, this is the most clownshoe thing I think I've been witness to. It's like GG all over again but somehow even dumber and more lolcowish, which I never thought possible.

I love it.

He may have a bit of a point. I missed some parts of this thread, but I seem to recall Amber's only real crime was a conversation with Monica and an "I stand with victims" statement that wasn't particularly inflamatory. Adding her to the Doxedex wasn't the best choice for optics as it essentially makes a martyr of her over something pretty trivial, unless I missed something more that she was accused of.

Speaking of Funi scamming weebs... The Broly movie is coming out on Blu-Ray/DVD next week. All the bonus features feature footage of the voice actors... will Vic be cut out or will he still appear due it being filmed before this whole nonsense occurred?

Unless you're named Shane Holmberg, all signs point to yes.

Good question because they are advertising one of the bonus features as being just about Vic:

Nick reading the tweet of a upset fan of Sabat's last second cancellation really tells me something
They aren't just fucking with the Con anymore, they are fucking over fans just so they can fuck over the con
I'm sure this will end up great and not at all make even more people who weren't apart of this hate their dumb little protest

I thought they pulled the tour details from the kamehacon website too? Nick is acting like it's just this one tweet about it.

So, do we even know if this James Campbell's tweet is for real and not some op?
We need some corroboration from others who are/were going to the tour!

Related to that, Tokyopop continued the 90s anime market notion of buying anything and everything thinking it all sold either way, than turning their efforts on selling the hottest and best thing in Japan, and also tried to start up an Original English Language Manga production program that licensed any creators inspired to make their own manga.

Even for a 90s styled anime fan like me, times change and business requires adapation and recognizing trends and current events. Tokyopop did not adapt to the next needed step as the US anime and manga market eventually caught up with the hottest thing in Japan, and killed that with a glut of unfocused marketing and loose spending. Secondly, their OEL Manga partnership program was horrendously flawed, with one sided contracts, a massive pay dividend, and with all and any properties of authors to be under the ownership of Tokyopop. Tokyopop also had very poor PR and advertising their OEL line, and as I heard, Tokyopop was very loose on the QA and talent screening. So right when they were forced to throw up their hands into bankruptcy, every author was denied the rights to their titles. So if you ever hear the phrase "Fuck Stu Levy", someone's speaking the truth. Also Fuck Stu Levy.

As for Megatokyo.... wow.

I just stumbled upon a massive shitstorm in US manga history regarding the first publisher of Fred Gallhager. And I'll clarify that Tokyopop wasn't the publisher of Megatokyo when they got big. I'll try to make it short, but I'll start with the name of their first publisher: Studio Ironcat.

You thought Marvel and DC was eating the dirt hard by the time 1996 came? Studio Ironcat could had been the States' first successful hybrid importer and authoring publisher of manga in the States, but they immediately fucked up by 1999. By that year, Ironcat was beginning to become rife with embezzlement, in house authors and co workers were divided into high school drama bullshit cliques, and many authors were soon beginning to not get paid. On two conflicting accounts, rep Brian said Fred was claimed to have demanded more money for the license, while the other says many who preordered for Volume 1 did not get their copies, and they were still pushing for Volume 2 preorders despite shortchanging their customers. Either way, Fred left for Dark Horse after this, and the rest of his series is tumultous history.

And fuck me, either it's my lack of sleep or me coming further and further to the truth, because I'm getting more and more depressed about all of the shortcomings of the US manga and anime creative industry as I learn more and more about it.

Interesting... interesting.

Here's another name I'm starting to remember now that I'm thinking about all this...

Sokora Refugees.

Didn't some Tokyopop exec basically give his girlfriend or daughter or somesuch a free win at some Tokyopop contest that lead to the thing being published professionally... Only to have it flash and burn and then die out like, immediately? Maybe that's what I'm getting mixed up with Megatokyo in my head.

The only thing I remember ever seeing that StudioIroncat published was some utterly horrid Ranma 1/2 ripoff trannyporn shit. I can't remember the name of it, but everything about it was just fucking awful.

Futaba-kun Change! I actually rather enjoyed it, but it was silly fanservice and I enjoy silly fanservice.

I also just realized, if Sabat comes to Monica's little get together it's pretty much solid evidence his excuse is bullshit and proves that they are just spiting KamehaCon
Their shitty little excuses won't really justify any of this if Sabat goes to her little nobody event
