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

Blocking 50k potential customers and buyers in an industry where 100k is considered doing gangbusters is like intentionally running a pork barbecue restaurant while banning every one but muslims and jews while wondering why this magical audience you hope for doesn't come in ever as you go homeless and gibber in the once great building.

It's committing career suicide and it just makes me glad I don't give a shit about comics anymore beyond the indie stuff from the '70s - '00s period that I'm slowly catching up on.

I've said it before but blocking only works if used sparingly. Mass blocking doesn't keep people OUT, it keeps you IN as you limit your interactions with outsiders. Besides, if you believe you have "enemies" than it'd be a good idea to see what they're saying so you aren't reduced to a stuttering moron if their criticisms come up.

Looks like some of the retailers and Indie nobodies are being naughty and trying set up blockchains against paying customers. Pretty stupid to block people raking in that Indiegogo money when the market is shrinking. And wow, these cucks are really assblasted if they added Nick to the list.

It's like McCarthyism. I don't mean the McCarthyism where you successfully blacklist people you don't like out of an industry.

I mean the kind of McCarthyism where your brand of politics fails, you get terminally butthurt, and drink yourself to death and die of liver failure.

Hey, Malin launched his sequel, Graveyard Shit Vol II
FireShot Capture 140 - GRAVEYARD SHIFT VOL II Graphic Novel - Indiegogo - www.indiegogo.com.png


It looks like CG is figuring out the logistics issue as well. I'm not getting hit with a shipping fee on this or Ya Boi's book. Pretty happy about that

Ok, this is just plain ridiculous. The hell are they doing?

Wait, are you saying Mags? You don't earn enough to sustain yourself on comics and you hope to make it up with sweet Netflix money? Wait? Are you writing a book? I'm confused.

Wasn't this idiot hyping up the amount of books they wrote as some sort of accomplishment like a week or 2 ago? What happened to all that confidence, Mags?

JSG reviews the final issue of Female Furies. If Jack Kirby’s body wasn’t rolling in it’s grave already thanks to Always Punch Nazis 2, it sure as hell is now:

James Bond is getting both a gender and race swap, so let’s bring in the woke sistahs to write his still white and male comic series:

At this point I’m just glad none of the turtles are transitioning. That’s how low my expectations are now.

And remember guys, this is canon now... Everything. Thanks Didio.

And you really have to appreciate how little these people don't even stick to their own rules of writing whatever stupid surface quality the character has. I wish I could infiltrate MARVEL and start writing about Black Panther's dealings as a white boy from central Florida and the struggles he'd have to go through.

I think the problem with that “learn out loud” comment is that usually requires these people actually, you know, learn things. More often I see these hipster artists making a hierarchy of what kinds of artists and art styles are fair game to rip apart for any number of flimsy reasons (the real reason being sour grapes) and then throwing a fit when the same standards are applied to them.

The real wall they’re hitting is that when you demand the bar be lowered so that you can claim that your garbage is “industry standard,” you’re also lowering the bar for every Tom, Dick, and Henrietta that’s on the same level as you and flood the market. Just look at how bloated the indie/self-published comic and artist alleys have gotten at conventions to see this on the ground level.

It’s also why it’s kinda funny that a lot of these same people are demanding that comic book jobs be unionized. They realize that unions for creative endeavors don’t actually eliminate contract work and it makes those payroll creative positions hyper-competitive, right?

Expecting tumblr artists to grasp basic economic concepts is white supremacy.

They also don't realize the only reason they haven't been shitcanned en masse for being failures is a willingness to work for circus peanuts.
