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

I have a theory about this situation with Preston trying to obtain the rights to the name of Comicsgate.

It never made sense to me why Preston wanted the name other than to simply spite EVS for not promoting him.

I think it might be deeper and darker than this...

I think Preston is being used or manipulated like a tool by a more cunning force working behind the scenes using him as a catspaw.

This force working behind the scenes has it out for CG and wants to see it destroyed and this force knows that one scenario that will ultimately spell CG's destruction would be for Preston Poulter to attain the rights to the name.

After that, CG will be so tainted that no other creator will want to join the movement, and the big creators already associated with the name will abandon it and simply continue to cultivate the fanbase they already created through the Comicsgate movement.

The movement would wither on the vine and ultimately die.

The main objective of this unseen force working behind the scenes is to trick EVS into abandoning Comicsgate, because since Ya Boi left, EVS is basically the heart and soul of Comicsgate, and if you separate him from the movement, it will eventually die.

Who is this hidden, cunning force working behind the scenes using or manipulating Preston as a catspaw to ultimately destroy CG? It's obvious to me.

The true Sith Lord is Doug. Yup, Doug.

Ever since he left the movement and incurred all those refunds, he's had it out for CG ever since then and wants to see the movement destroyed.

He's good friends with Preston, they play Dungeons & Dragons together. If he's not the one quarterbacking this behind-the-scenes he's at the very least encouraging him and giving him advice.

Doug is no fool, a Machiavellian scheme like this is right up his wheelhouse. Bottom line is I wouldn't be in the least bit surprised to find out that Doug TenNaple was The Mastermind behind this whole scheme for Preston to obtain the Comicsgate name just to trick EVS into leaving the movement, and thus, ultimately kill it, leaving his revenge complete.

He may even be helping to bankroll Preston's legal fees too, I wouldn't put it past him.


*SUMMARY* Doug is using, manipulating, or at the very least advising Preston to obtain the Comicsgate name for the ultimately goal of destroying the movement.
Not impossible, but veeeerrrryyyy gay. I miss these ridiculous illuminati conspiracy that used to fill the thread. More than anything because once in a while, crazy as they were, the reality reflected them.

Doug's hateboner for Ethan and vice versa is so ridiculous I can't exclude him doing something so ridiculous. It's so dumb, yet somehow plausible given how much both sides hate each other. The truth could simply be Preston is an autistic, petty asshole and Doug's simply encouraging him because he's a petty asshole.

I hope Disney makes another Star Wars movie. When Section 230 is wiped out and Josh shuts this down you're going to need a new outlet for your creative theories.

You bastard. Don't go putting that evil on the fandom!:mad:

People in this thread tend to perpetuate the myth that Ethan's art is ok. You should stop doing that.

Looks like he's sliding into the Liefeldian school of proportions. Still better than the average CG fare, but we're never going to see his best work on his own like this. Unless you are the next Frank Miller or Alan Moore, you have to be able to collaborate. Ethan has found a way to be financially successful, but we all know this will never compare to the A+ stuff he did at DC. One of the main things I've noticed is while he has alot of artist connections, he has a lack of them when it comes to good writers and at this point he might never seek one out to do his books. It's all about control and now that he effectively has all of it, he's getting pretty lazy.

You can definitely tell he's losing respect for his audience if this is any indication of what is to come.
 
The movement would wither on the vine and ultimately die.
The "movement" died some time ago. Whatever it is now it's not a movement. It's more of an un-owned brand. It's absolutely zero surprise that people would fight for a known brand up for grabs.

That's all Preston's doing. He's trying to scoop the brand out from under his enemies and TenNapel thinks it's amusing because Preston is fucking with the people who hate him and regularly attack him. (some on this thread)

That's not Machiavellian. That's just typical infighting and people allying themselves against a common enemy.

Here's a theory: Ethan is operating Preston as, in fact, a double agent working against Doug on behalf of the @FROG.

It's ridiculous but no more ridiculous than your theory.

Doug is no fool, a Machiavellian scheme like this is right up his wheelhouse.

Doug spends about 10-12 hrs a day drawing BFB and EWJ comics while maintaining what looks to be a somewhat functional family life.

I don't think he has time to spend hatching labyrinthine plots so he can be Palpatine to Van Sciver's Skywalker.

It's possible but it's about as likely as Mitch delivering Red Rooster next week.
 
It would appear that Kyle Ritter and Google images did the lions share of the labor on this rainbow hunchback anyway.
tf, is that real? If true, do they think they can just pop a photo found from Google Images in there if they include the Google Images logo in the corner? That's… not how anything works, but who knows anymore.

To be fair, this is supposed to be a gnome or something, so it's not quite fair to judge it against the proportions of a normal human.

I think it's real. It was sent to me by someone.

I can't be bothered to search Ethan's Twitter to verify it but I'm pretty sure I've seen both images there or elsewhere (minus the cheeky credit to Google Images for the assist)

Edit: Either way, Ethan is using that "photo realistic" background as a graphic for his latest campaign.

The signature and Google attribution aren't real, but rather it seems to be someone making a point about Ethan's lack of background drawing with that portion of the work being handed to Kyle who is using photos found on Goggle to fill in the blanks.

Here's how they appeared on Ethan's Twitter.

To be fair, @PocketJacks is a cuck and him "getting the sandwiches" for someone he hates is not out of the realm of possibility.
Just saying.

I think he does. Doug streams every week and is seen as the leader of the anti cg movement. Who is to say that he is not gaslighting people in exchange for promoting their book? I wouldn't put it past and it doesn't take that much time out of his day to do a Zoom call while he is drawing.

Who the hell sees him as the leader of "the anti cg movement"?

What even is the "anti cg movement" because it seems to consist of Vikki and DA Talks laughing at Liam for a few hours a week and Preston being a cuck while trying to legally become comicsgate. Perhaps Dynamite comics is behind it all again. It felt bad about creating such a retard monger the first time and is trying to destroy it with a counter "movement".

IT ALL MAKES SENSE GAIZ.

Doug is the mega villain behind all the retardation dragging down Comicsgate! The Ethan vs Doug shit, Preston getting the rights, AND NOW?! Doug offering his hand to Liam?! If Liam joins Anti-CG, his autistic legion of doom will be complete. None will be spared.

Give the fuck up, Ethan. Game Over man, game over.

"Anti-ComicsGate" doesn't exist as a movement. You know who sees Doug TenNapel as the "Leader of Anti-CG"? Ethan simps and insane mongoloids like Micah Curtis and Liam Gray.
 
This is all great stuff.
This is some of the most autistic tinfoil hat retard conspiracy shit I've ever read on this site and I've talked to actual schizos that think we're part of a movement against them.

Your faggot butt buddy TUG is once again inserting himself into CG drama, presumably so Ashley Lewis can catfish more dudes while Mailbox Matt (780 Mt Zion Rd, McMinnville, TN 37110) furiously wanks off in the corner to her dick pic collection.

And just in case that fat fuck claims that isn't his address and that its really a sheriff or some other bullshit here is his copyright application for the name "that umbrella guy" the autist actually tried to copyright his ridiculous derivative screen name for his sonichu tier OC.

More to the point why does Cridious claim that EVS told him to defend comicsgate by trying to trademark the name? Why would anyone trust a guy that stole his backers money any more than the dude who made gay porno and literally got cucked by Leroy?

Doug streams every week and is seen as the leader of the anti cg movement.

The "anti-CG movement" consists of every creator Ethan ever fucked over and fans who were cycled through Ethan's War Campaign meat grinder for CG wrong think.

There is no "movement" or "leader" despite Preston's attempts to get organised. There is only the small group of people who walked away from the CG dumpster fire who still feel like saying Ethan's a twat.

Because Ethan has proven himself to be that several times over. anti-CG having a leader is like a herd of cats having a leader.

If you think Doug's leading anything loosen up your tin foil fedora.


And more photo realistic backgrounds. I'm not gonna hate on Kyle's short cuts to clean up after his boss but it is funny.

Look, Ethan was the first to use Comicsgate fulltime in reference to the SJWs in comics, particularly after Waid went nuts on Zack. He first tried to gatekeep when Vox Day entered the fray and this solidified "Comicsgate" as something specifically led by Ethan. If memory serves, it was sometime after Edwin's falling out with WC's social media actions that Sciverfrog first announced he was leaving Comicsgate.

He's gone back and forth and back and forth on his public stances and that means no one is safe in his orbit. Doug running gayops is always possible, but if he is, he's only trying out EVS's own tactics against him. It won't work but if he really has an Ahab complex, the white whale will outmaneuver him. He's way too boomer for this kind of garbage.

The more likely situation is that Ethan is trying to concoct a narrative that is the equivalent of blaming his own farts on the dog. He will never be able to separate himself from that lingering cloud of his obvious orchestration of the CG shitshow for his paypiggies. They eat it up like pigs to the trough and he's making a mint, but for those of us who have seen his play-by-play, there's nothing he could say or do besides owning up to his past behavior and dropping the social media destroyer model... including all of his proxies... and focus on comics.

But that won't happen and all of these observations will be lost like tears in rain of the 230 repeal. Thanks Kiwis for keeping us all up to sped with the goings on in CG. It's been very educational and it's saved me a lot of money I might have otherwise thrown away.
 
The moment I was nominated for one, they meant something. Then they stopped meaning anything forever when I lost.


The pros who join me don't even see Wenger or Liam. They see CYBERFROG.


There was a Jawbreakers book before LOST SOULS. It's very rare. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/863672719/jawbreakers-book-one-sketch-reward-at-every-tier





Yes Zigzag. I think I mentioned that.

You do get that I beat his 60 day Kickstarter campaign in 6 days? And now I'm going to beat his IGG campaign too in the same single campaign.
I never said you weren’t doing great now did I. You’re doing good . I said what I said because cg ignores Kickstarter and thinks only igg total count and I don’t think you mentioned it so I did. I also wish you success in one of my posts. It’s hard to cheer for you when you go after other creators over and over it’s not a competition it’s about doing good work for customers. You should be hoping Doug and Tim and everyone succeeds because if you’re about the customers you want them to have a great product
There's no anti cg movement yet it's always the same core group of people that keep hoping that CG fails and trash talk the movement all day on Twitter, YouTube and on the farms. Am I getting this right?
pretty much some of us have become internet friends but it’s all just smack talking. That’s why it’s funny you guys think something big is going on. If laughing at you all day is some secret club ok. There are NO plans no gayops. How do you believe me tell me 1 gayops that any of them have done. I guess there where some reporting but again it was like 1 or 2 reporting something most are jokes. But keep on it’s is amusing to watch.

so Thomas Roiloop’s mayonnaise video on the Ribbit coin wasn’t a gayop?

Nope it wasn’t from what I know it was done as a joke and to watch you guys freak out and most of us do call anti had no clue or even cared about it. But it was just a gag that’s it.
