And then you have to look that the "affidavits" were given by a very interconnected, basically incestuous crowd. Several of those people have been outed as prolific liars, power abusers and sex pests (like Faisal, Manjawlo) or simply bitter exes. What kind of attourney would even file that garbage without authenticating it. Apart from corrupt people or someone who basically got physically and mentally ill after getting bitten by a mosquito?

An attorney that's being told "Put all this in or we won't pay you."

Well there is also blatant fan bashing (customer bashing) in it which is more of what I wanted to draw attention to. More evidence of certain parties' (in this case Marchi's) snide disdain for the base which contributes to her salary.

She should've had some actual talent to escape fap bait trash (Mount Lady is less important than Froppy). That said Hajimete no Gal is still kinda...not relevant despite Jamie using it to project her assmad. Maidragon's "DUDE PATRIARCHY LMOA!" had more relevance because it was the hyped SoL of the season.

Actually, someone found a (presumably short-run) box with Vic being top-billed at the bottom corner in small font, so there's merit to that statement.

Of course, the other issue is then that this is reportedly the part of the anime where her character has nearly zero spoken lines.

That box design is either a fan of Vic's dumping his name there because "it's a recognisable name" or because they really didn't know how to market this thing.


Considering how small the UK Anime Market is too, hardly the most damning thing or the main release.

So Rial is so fucking petty a DVD which probably sold under 5,000 copies makes her ass mad in deposition years later

But seriously, nothing gets me pissed more than people who's entire lives depend on the goodwill of people and shitting on them. No one has to buy your slop and you can be living in a rusty dumpster filled with rancid garbage while you bleed out of some incurable disease.

Didn't the SJWs still win GG based on all the western companies bending the knee to their insanity? Hell, as much as I like remake Tifa's design, Square Enix admitted its a thing because neo-feminism is being dumb.

The Gaming Press is at or near extinction levels. The consumers moved on to more reliable Youtubers simply showing them gameplay, and not lecturing them on how awful they are. Game Publishers are starting to feel the consumer disdain and apathy brought on by years of treating their customers like shit. Activision lost $18 Billion in valuation this week alone. There was never any possible lose state for GG or Gamers in Gamergate, for the simple fact that it is Gamers who are the only source of all the money in the system. When you piss them off they stop spending. It isn’t an overnight thing. The impacts of things like GG and CG are long term. But at the end of the day the long term result is the producers and publishers have slowly driven off a portion of their consumer base that exceeds their fairly narrow profit margins. All on the basis of being told there is a newer better SJW customer out there just waiting. There never is.

Because that worked so well for Marvel and DC. And IDW. And comics in general.



Some judges don't even care about that, although it's more common near the end of their careers.

I think Chupp’s most underlying principal is or will be “I never want to see any of these assholes again”.

I dunno. I still feel that some companies would rather die on the hill of wokeness than admit they were wrong, purely because they believe all their core consumers are Sargon and Homer levels of insane. I agree the consumer will win the war, but some of these companies are too big to truly fail.

Marvel and DC are too big to fail. The rest will likely die in a hole for their wokeness.

There's Marvel Entertainment and then there's Marvel Comics. From what I know latter is at death's doorstep. Marvel movies make the money, not comic books.
I've heard some damning stuff regarding Marvel Comics working conditions and organizational culture, but I don't know how legitimate that info is.

Tell that to Atari.

End of the day, Actiblizzard, EA and the like are massive, soulless corporations. They'll do what's necessary to make money, and if they don't, the board will put people in who will. Or, you know, the company will die and get bought out by another corporation that will. The video games industry is full of those stories.

Shouldn't that read "Bare" the weight of it? Because maybe its just me but nothing screams "Victim of sex fiend" more than a chick in a bikini posting fap pix.

Oh wait...

You’re actually getting the breakdown wrong. There is Marvel Entertainment, the wholly owned subsidiary of Disney, which contains Marvel Comics, Television Programing and Merchandising. It is one business unit, and the Comics aren’t even a rounding error in the bookkeeping. All the money comes from Merchandusing. This is run by Ike Perlmutter.

And there is Marvel Studios. Which was moved directly under Disney Studios a few years back, and reports to Alan Ladd. All of the Marvel Movie profits show up under Disney Studios books and do not flow through Marvel Entertainment (save the indirect boost they get in related merchandising).

Marvel Comics are the way they are because nobody gives a shit. The sole function of Marvel Comics is to keep the IP’s refreshed by frequent use in new publications, at the lowest cost possible. Disney doesn’t care if anybody reads the shit. Just so long as it is properly published. Disney never wanted to be a traditional publisher. It’s a corporate goal to avoid being a print media publisher. They only tolerate Marvel because they need it for IP library maintenance.

Die they will. EA is already making wheezing noises, and I don't see Uncle Sam running in with a big pile of money to bail out their non-existent union buddies/donors.

Not that I intended to go balls deep into it, but thanks for breaking it down for me! This certainly explains the sad state of Marvel comics. How tragic.

They never truly recovered from the near death experience in the 90s if you think about it. The fact that Marvel Studios is adapting Lady Thor spells darker times ahead.

 

[Reverend]

. Maybe Vic raped her phone while he was at it and that's why she couldn't call anyone.

Is there literally nothing Vic will not stick his penis into? How has this man gotten away with it for so long. I bet when he shows up to conventions the entire con staff ,from ticket takers to booth assembly, is literally raped when he walks in, he gives them all numbers and stands in a line. The stamina on this man is insane I tell ya. He needs to be a spokesman for Viagra, put his face on the bottle and you will literally be able to have sex with someone by your DREAMS.

Billion dollar idea here...

Here's hoping the Guilemont Family has the cash available to snap up the majority of the studios.

At least Ubisoft, as one of the giants, lets their studios actually do shit.

Pretty much. There are many contributing factors and Ethan Van Scyver covers them all pretty well on his channel from a pro who lived through it perspective.

From my POV as a regular reader who gave up comics after the crash, it had a lot to do with the quality of both art and story cratering HARD. Marvel stopped giving people quality of any degree and began the descent into 3rd and lower tier creatives who they could pay less, combined with more 'corporate' involvement in editorial/creative.

Just look at any Marc Silvestri or Chris Claremont from pre 95 to anything modern. Even Liefeld's no feet era is worlds better than Squirrel Girl.
