I was more referring to his point about "if you don't like it, don't support it." He was asked in the same stream whether he was going to review New Warriors (Safespace and Snowflake) or Gotham High and he said he wouldn't unless they were incredibly good or incredibly bad. If you watch his Comic Trope video's he usually showcases comics that he really enjoys or comics that are so terrible they are interesting to talk about, similar to Comicsgate itself. As for Comicsgate and politics it began with them being against "identity politics in comics" to them denouncing any politics in comics at all, the scrutiny Tim Lim faced is proof of that despite his books being political satire.
In other Comicsgate news, Dan Fraga appeared on Dan Shahin's channel as a stand in for EVS who missed the interview due to a scheduling issue. Having Dan Fraga in lieu of Ethan probably worked out in Comicsgate's favor since Dan actually did a pretty good job at making CG seem less exceptional than it actually is.
Comicsgate should probably put Fraga in charge of all public appearances from now on, he handled himself quite well.
TUG since leaving Comicsgate, quickly remembered he actually needs them to fund his crappy sequel to The Littlest Umbrella so has since rejoined and offered to host smaller creators to spotlight their books. This is clearly typical TUG laying the groundwork for his own promotion by others when he launches his book. Taking TUG up on his offer of "ANY creator" was twitter troll and perpetual black sheep Jon Del Arroz, who I think was just trolling TUG about his offer to host "ANY creator."

In a turnabout way TUG rather magnanimously actually ended up hosting Jon for his five minutes, surprising me and probably everyone else who was paying attention. JDA clipped and uploaded his segment to his channel and described the interview as "cordial."
This cordial relationship was quickly cut short as TUG later became aware that Jon was apart of the Simeti Swatting Truther movement along with Capn Cummings and The Comicbook Hut.

“If you are part of the GOTCHA bullshit aimed at Peter Simeti, STOP. Because what we're looking at isn't some quest for truth. Its dragging up an event over a year old, one that caused an ocean of mental duress and tried to drive a man to suicide, and was VERY PUBLIC https://t.co/pshVDbLUaq”twitter.com
Jon Del Arroz fresh from biting the hand that fed him uploaded a video describing the "harassment" he has faced since TUG called him out and uploaded a video where he was stream sniping TUG looking for nasty comments to prove his victimhood. Kiwifarms @Mister Dongs makes a guest appearance!
That is about everything, there has been no further developments with the Simeti Swatting theory and its been relatively quiet.
Jawbreakers Grand Bizarre seems to be lagging behind previous campaigns as backerkit has it trending for a reasonable (yet paltry by comparison) $127.880. Whether the virus has closed wallets or everybody blew their cash on Ethans $200 four comics and a cardboard box perk, it seems like the campaign is struggling a little.
EDIT: Added archives of the tweets, the archive provides JDA's initial tweet which he deleted.

I always assumed Chris had mildly SJW leanings or was slightly left of center but he keeps it out of his content and his videos are absolutely fantastic to watch. For months now when I've watched his streams I constantly see CG asking him "when is he going to review Cyberfrog" or "what does he think of Comicsgate" and his always ignored them, which I agree is wise because his clearly focusing on producing content that anyone can enjoy.
Jon Del Arroz flip flops on Comicsgate more than a fish out of water. I've watched him patch things up with EVS twice now and both times they've had another falling out within days. One minute Comicsgate has been "harassing" him for years, the next minute his patching things up with them and trying to get his foot back in the door.
I'm not really familar with Teddy Spaghetti's platform, is it shrinking? Last I heard he was making his own streaming service with that other cow Owen Benjamin and trying to make an Alt Hero movie, I might have to visit the Vox thread and catch up on his latest shenanigans.
TUG is a grifting, lying piece of shit and Jon Del Arroz is an amateur troll who pokes others online and then curls up into a ball when his poked back.
I doubt it, his already made his feelings known his not really interested in following Comicsgate. I personally doubt CG has the fortitude to last another 12 months let alone another 5-10 years. I'm guessing most of the larger creators will break off at some point and still produce under their respective labels, but if you search the #comicsgate on twitter its nothing but self promotion now with very little engagement. Compared to 2017 and 2018 there was a much larger audience using it and it was actual conversation as opposed to every tom, dick and harry advertising their crappy $25 comicbook with Sonichu tier art.
I've been watching Chris for as long as I've been watching Zack. They are the polar opposites of the comicbook youtube: Zack is calling shit out in barely researched videos, Chris is doing a lot of research and is pretty neutral. He clearly knows about comicbooks and loves the art form. He knows comics way better than CG-ers. I mean, those dumbasses were about to bring in misrepresented Dave Sim to write Cyberfrog because the damn liberals cancelled him, while Dave Sim was a lolcow of epic levels back in the 90's who burned every bridge to the comicbook industry AND the guy who, in some weird fashion, created the SJW comics in the mainstream.
JDA is fucking troll, a liar and a big Vox Day advocate. Strange that he can't get along with Ethan Van Sciver.
14 words and pretending they weren't aware of how controversial Vox is when being controversial is the only reason Vox is relevant.The numbers for backers keep dropping and dropping but the CG faithful are shoring it up by each spending more.
Strange that Gail isn't aware of who ComicsTropes, one of the biggest comics YouTubers going, is but she seems to be very aware of the CG YouTube universe.

Ethan and JDA both feigned ignorance of Vox's white nationalist politics while they promoted him. These "culture warriors" were both praising a guy who advocates for the ultra scary
Vox is a liar and a troll.
JDA is a liar and a troll.
EVS is a liar and a troll.
What's funny is when each of them plays victim and calls the other a liar and a troll.
Anyone who was promoting Vox Day in 2018 and wasn't aware that he's a notorious white nationalist is a complete and utter moron.
The numbers for backers keep dropping and dropping but the CG faithful are shoring it up by each spending more.
It will be interesting to see how long that will last. The writings on the wall but it appears that most of them can't actually read.
Ironic.
Strange that Gail isn't aware of who ComicsTropes, one of the biggest comics YouTubers going, is but she seems to be very aware of the CG YouTube universe.
I guess she doesn't give a fuck about comics on YouTube unless it's outrage fueled leftwing SJWs or outrage fueled CG SJWs.
If the numbers are still dropping despite supporters backing multiple times individually I'd say you can make a judgement on that.
Time to farm some negative reactions here, but....I kind of like Gail. She's annoying with all that femninist BS, but she seems to genuinely care for the fans and from personal experience can be quite 'mumsy' with people. Also she's a fun and competant writer.
Fire away folks
No, I meant the opposite. A tier of a 2nd campaign may contain items that required backing multiple tiers of a 1st campaign. More people could end up backing that 2nd campaign than the 1st but the 1st will show more "backers".
