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

Not to white knight for Charlie's London, but I feel I have to object here - it's incredibly cruel to liken her to Biggons. In no way is she that bad.

I really couldn't stand Biggons, he was an embodiment of the perils of Frog's business model in my mind. A tedious, dunderheaded, droning bore who makes Micah Curtis seem like Woody Allen - and you have to be nice to him, because he's pouring money into CG. But at what cost?

He gives you lots of money but then you have to endure him stinking out your livestream with his repellent monotone, for what feels like hours on end even if it only lasts a few minutes.

I would honestly rather listen to a sponsored product being openly shilled at me, than listen to that bloated idiot, patron Piggons, and his dull-witted drawling.

I mean even the ads on television, at least those have good looking women in them right? At least they used to, I don't watch it any more so I don't know. But I actually get nostalgic for the old-style television model, when Frog subjects me to the aural torture that is patron Piggons.
Biggons was a paypig of legendary proportions. He's a turbofaggot and I'm glad he's gone. Fuck him.

Wenger's a Covid=hoax person. Ethan said no, Covid is real and Wenger got butthurt. he did a stream about gatekeepers and taking side swipes at Ethan.
I decided to see what our resident tard Wenger is up to these days. His twitter is full of politsperging about Trump with videos of him marching with the proud boys in DC and watching Alex Jones speak. I'm not going to bother archiving and screen shotting that shit, suffice it to say it's highly autistic. Wenger is also chimping about how Biden stole the election. Ethan had to dump that idiot.

It's a joke alright Wenger but we're not laughing with you we're laughing at you.

There is no Killing the "were-sjw" (Im really getting beat up over this haha)

I think I pointed out in one of my first post that @FROG's declaration of victory of the SJWs is by providing a way for people to crowdfund comics without being cancelled. Which I agree with him is something worth celebrating. Cancel Culture being a clear and identifiable problem in mainstream comics. One which includes a lawsuit featuring Ya Boi and Mark Waid. https://www.gofundme.com/f/back-ya-boi-zack

I guess my question to @FROG is Do you want to just be able to produce books? Or do you want to make a better comic? Im fine With stuff like Donny Cate's Venom run for example. It features a character I like and its held my interest for 30+ issues. Eddie Brock is back in the suit and that was more than enough for me to pick it up. Bonus that it features Eddie struggling with becoming a father, a theme not typically touched on in SJW comic offerings. Is it great? No but its just enough. The art is pretty cool. Again in my subjective point of view this is much more interesting than the Chaplin book.

So again I ask Frog, Do you just want a place to make comics? You got it, I backed Cyberfrog myself and thought it was pretty fantastic for what I paid. Or do you want to replace the mainstream comic offerings with better comics? "Im only buying CG Comics" was a pretty popular sentiment in youtubechats after all, and WC used to Claim CG ONLY View attachment 1782524

Is it just enough for you to exist? Or do you want Comicsgate to have a standard of making better comics?

If its the latter, Comicsgate outside of a few standouts (Cyberfrog, Lonestar, Starlight Cats, GraveyardShift) is in my opinion is not making better comics, and in fact is making pretty bad ones (Dragoon Knight Alldrake, Englewood, Wart the Wizard)

There is no saving the SJW Comics industry, we have to be ok with what we got if we want the legacy characters like Eddie Brock, Peter Parker, Bruce Wayne etc... but Comicsgate and anyone making indie comics could save the Comics Artform. Thats what being able to crowdfund stuff like Cyberfrog and Lonestar means.
Donny Cates is a massive fag. I don't care if he wrote the next Anna Karenina I wouldn't read it because Cates is a piece of shit. There are few people in the comics business that I dislike on a personal level but he's at the top of that list. You're not going to find many people who actually like the human equivalent of dirty crapped briefs.

CG Only was retarded as fuck. Basically a giant circle jerk where WC tried to set themselves up as gatekeepers and only people who sucked Ro's microdick and got their approval would be promoted. Its the same reason those morons tried to start CG Jumpstart. Just a gay way of picking and choosing winners and losers.

The great thing about crowdfunding is the market has a pretty good track record of stabilizing and the shitty books don't get funded. There are tons of great comics that are relatively obscure and even better art books that most people have never heard of. The Mouse Guard guy makes fucking bank drawing those mideval mice and he's not exactly the most famous of creators. There's a comic for everyone but finding it can be difficult. Capeshit is boring as fuck and completely dominated by troons, fags, and lazy fat fucks like Dan Slott.

Honestly I'm waiting for the release of Sonichu #17 before I ever buy another Marvel or DC book.

I'm fortunate that I never cared for Donny's stuff and loathed Tom King from day one.

Three Jokers had such potential. But between Johns throwing some bones to SJWs and being tied to Tom King's abortion of a run, I just couldn't get into it.

I don't know what monkey paw 4chan/co used to get Bendis off of Superman, but it backfired. This is the first time in my life when I can't name a single comic book at any major American publisher that is worth picking up.
 
It's Friday night and all the tubers in the CG sphere are streaming.

Nassar streamed.


Ethan appeared around 2:11:00. Invites Mike, don't think he invited Jon of the rice.

Mike doesn't know who Matt is. Mike is fascinated by Vortex, which Ethan describes as Christian Spawn.

Ethan has his shill stream/artauction up. This is a big night for him as he's launching an old indie bro Matt Martin.


I'm not that invested in the stream much beyond the reunion of Matt and Van Sciver, but I did notice something. I saw Nassar was on stream and got curious. I ducked into the chat. There is a dedicated group of people that are punching hard at Nassar. What's interesting is most looked like ex WCers or those who were complicit with the core WC groups tism, but never made it inside.

Make of it what you will. Meanwhile, CG Adjacent Gary Nerdrotic with fat, British Cecil (Az), and Comix Division.


They mostly stuck on Star Wars, only talking about comics if it was a show or game. Almost meta narrative levels there.

Around the last week

Doug Tennaple has gone full political on his channel, uploading a bunch of short vids on Trump/Texas USC appeal. (He lost)


He provides his analysis of the Supreme Court. Analysis his Holiness is certainly qualified to provide with his lifetime spent drawing cartoons.

Richard is reaching the end of his self imposed deadline. He reviewed Tom King's Strange Adventures and couldn't have sounded more done.

Thats what being able to crowdfund stuff like Cyberfrog and Lonestar means.

I feel like I explain this over and over and over again, and I keep getting met with the same concerns. I'll try again. Meet me where I'm coming from, understanding what I'm trying to do, and THEN ask me your questions.

--I am not interested in "replacing the mainstream." Not in the sense that I want to outdo it, and then overtake it or defeat it. If the mainstream goes away, it'll be in the natural course of business, and I'll have had nothing to do with it. I just want to still be making comics when they're gone.

--Making a traditional comic book company out of the blacklisted pros that make up ComicsGate is pointless:

*None of us agree on anything much
*All of us have different goals
*We're fairly mismatched in the types of comics we make
*Producing more comic books is less profitable than producing fewer comics in my opinion
*Comic companies are usually formed to utilize the Direct Market, which is unstable, and a thing of the past in my opinion

--The point of my version of ComicsGate isn't necessarily to create superior comics. The entire point was to create a substitute mechanism to market, fund and produce comic books. Whether or not they're "good" or "better" depends on the quality of creator who eventually finds our system advantageous to themselves, and therefore, making excellent comic books might take some time. We'll see who else wanders over.

--I, personally, don't care if ComicsGate's books are "good" or "better." I only care that MY books are good and better, and are worthy of my energy. ComicsGate doesn't exist to set me up as a gatekeeper of a movement. I work to build it so that I can make comic books. People who want to help me do so, or who are good for the mechanism that helps market, fund and produce comic books, are invited to join me on my channel, which exists to help me make MY comic books. I like helping talented creators, but it isn't my main purpose.

--I recognize that there are customers who only want to buy product from ComicsGate creators, and that a catalogue or website would be helpful to them. I am not interested in doing this, because I don't actually care if customers only buy ComicsGate created product. Anyone who can find a way to make money by offering this service is the right person for the job, but it isn't going to be me. On the one hand, I will only promote fellow ComicsGaters, but on the other hand, I'm not trying to change anyone's buying habits, and recommend that people buy whatever makes them happy.

The "artform" of Comic Books is never going away. It's the business of comic books that is of concern. That's what we're trying to build.
 
--Making a traditional comic book company out of the blacklisted pros that make up ComicsGate is pointless:
I agree that wouldn't work. Comicsgate as a brand doesn't fit everyone. Hating SJWs is not enough of a reason to go into business with anyone else. Nor is it a compelling reason to buy a comic.

Agreed. There's a good opportunity and a tremendous amount of talent involved in CG whether they fly the banner or hang out on the periphery. I'm not worried about pledging loyalty based on who is a mainstream SJW or not. SJWs can occasionally produce a good comic. Being ANTI-SJW is about as tired as videooo00o0o0oos on The Last Jedi.

I'm backing as many good comics as I can afford. I don't care if a book is SJW or CG, If I think a book looks cool I'm not checking their twitter history to see if they've respected the customer; Taco Bell has Open kitchens, but I make damn sure not to watch them make my burritos. I just want to shit on bad comics occasionally. Marvel, DC, or Comicsgate.

Good luck on building CG! Can't wait to read Rekt Planet and Snowman looks great, looking forward to seeing the promo on that!

Snowman didn’t launch as well as I thought it would. More hype should have been built around that book before it launched.
 
Richard is reaching the end of his self imposed deadline. He reviewed Tom King's Strange Adventures and couldn't have sounded more done.
I really hope he reneges on that deadline. I still enjoy his reviews and he's really the only CGer whose videos will always get a click when they show up in my YT feed. And besides, what kinds of videos will he make without them? He almost never does a video that isn't a review anymore. Zack sans reviews is wasted talent.
 
It'll hit $250,000. It's off to a great start, it's almost at $26k and it's hardly been 12 hours.
It honestly looks pretty bad ass. I have never heard of Matt Martin but his art is incredible. I can see why EVS is running the campaign.
asdshb9smfzreou9tllj.jpg
Horses are notoriously a pain in the dick to draw and he pulls it off flawlessly. I was at first a bit skeptical about a comic called "Snowman" and thought it was some gay Christmas comic about Frosty or something similar.
The colorist is going to have to be good to do justice to this kind of hyper detailed inking. Lots of sweet looking guns, violence, a beastly looking ice monster. My only gripe is that the campaign is light on details as to what this comic is actually about or what time period this is supposed to be. Based on the coonskin caps and pioneer garb I'm assuming the later 1700's/early 1800's.

This looks way better than the 90's version of the comic. Clearly Matt has improved in his decades of relative obscurity.

This is definitely a top notch offering from the CG sphere.
cpx1pk381vtntnecdmkv.jpg
I'm sure the funding will increase as more people are exposed to it. The book shouldn't have a problem cracking 100k in sales.

Will this be published under the all caps banner?

It's a top notch offering regardless and something im sure a lot of people will be talking about. It's refreshing to see a book that doesn't suffer from the rampant tism so prevalent in newcomer books.

The reason to go into business together wouldn't be out of a mutual hatred of SJWs. We'd be going into business together because we don't want our business fucked with and threatened by SJWs. A creative professional's stake in comics is his livelihood.

The fact that SJWs not only gatekeep and mobilize to cancel professionals is made easier to fight because their comics are usually terrible and weird. And that is our argument to customers, i.e. "You should reconsider how you buy comics and what you buy, because these comics are obviously insulting political propaganda. Ours aren't, but they require crowdfunding and preordering."

You've posted me trash-talking the mainstream with a fan art image of Superman and Batman as homosexual voyeurs, while my own stuff looks like a rock and roll good time. A fairly accurate caricature of what Marvel and DC are doing. Or at least, that's how fans FEEL about what they're doing. They're unhappy. And that's our opportunity to try to win them.

And once again, "ComicsGate" is the lure. This is a new way to do business. Do others want to peel away and try it? When you put a label on what we're doing, it terrifies them. ComicsGate takes power away from SJW gatekeepers, and also demonstrates to those working for big corporations that they might do better on their own.

Sorry you're tired. Have a nap.

SJWs don't produce good comics, they produce propaganda. Being anti-SJW should be everyone's default position, unless you enjoy having the things you love shit on while being called a bigot and told you're "Toxic" for complaining. They have far too much power and influence, they ruin art, fun and commerce, and they're cruel and mentally ill.

Worst of all, they're anti-capitalist and thus, anti-consumer. The thing I thought you cared about.

It's possible that you just disagree with ComicsGate, and believe that pandering identity politics have a place in your comic books, Mecha.

It'll hit $250,000. It's off to a great start, it's almost at $26k and it's hardly been 12 hours.

It'll hit $100K. We'll be at $32,000 tonight at 8PM.

First, Matt doesn't have his own YouTube or Twitter following. He definitely has old fans, and they'll find him, but he's mostly going to rely on ALL CAPS customers, who have never been asked to back something I wasn't directly responsible for before.

Fortunately, this book looks GREAT. Everyone thinks so.

The second thing is that the campaign is built small. I put it together for the maximum amount of profit to go into Matt's pocket. We're only selling comics, and we're keeping the gimmicks to a minimum.

If we get to $100K, we're paying a top notch colorist, we're getting it lettered and designed, and then producing a beautiful foil etched series of covers. Printing is inexpensive. Biggest cost will be fulfillment, which we will do in house.

ALL CAPS is getting a single digit percentage of the profits for that, and I'm hoping to have $50K leftover to pour into Matt's bank account, so he can work on the sequel while taking care of his family. He's been getting fucked over in comics for the last 15 years. He needs a good pay day.

Hell yeah, can't wait for Matt to get a giant payday.

Have you thought about doing a black and white version of the book too, even after hitting the colorist stretch goal?

we’ve all been around long enough to know that the first day is usually approximate to 1/3 of what the campaign will make. I think it will make over 100k. 250k is stretching it a bit for this campaign.

EDIT: Ninja’d by FROG
 
The "movement" died some time ago. Whatever it is now it's not a movement.

It's a bowel movement. Blaming it on the dog, indeed.

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.

Are gnomes known for having one leg shorter than the other? No, it's not perspective.

The takeaway from Sciverfrog and his crew is that you can't take their word at face value. He can go one minute mocking Nasser and encouraging Delay for the lols to making another circus out of him. He's only the latest of those who have been scapegoated when the optics called for it. I don't doubt if Donal Cuck weren't so utterly dependent on Ethan's approval he'd follow the rest of former associates Liam, TUG, Ro & WC in making a public scene. The only reason I think E went for Nasser when he did is it was becoming clear to the IGG patrons that Brutas was being unnecessarily delayed.

The price for running the show like a rainbow circus will be a continued rotation of dysfunctional characters. Even in the best of times EVS will be snapping at his fellow hyenas over the virtual corpse of a new recent enemy. That's how he works the room. Eventually it's going to start sticking to his rep. "CG" or not, big money or not.

Airbrushes haven't seen this much use since the early USSR.

All you simps and A loggers. This is a quality post.

Taking notes?

keep on delivering your books on time and get better artists to draw your stuff and you’ll get there.

I would have added "stop livestreaming so much and learn how to write" too. So about the same as I'd say to Frog or any other CG creator.

I thought this was the whole effin' point of ComicsGate.

We're going to have to explain the concepts of hypocrisy and doublespeak to you, Jonny.

Ethan very wisely doesn't gate keep the Comicsgate movement from anyone, however does control which projects he promotes on his youtube channel. Ultimately the people backing these comic books in the free market will decide which project should succeed and which should fail.

Dongs - I think - said something about newly indie-ized creators coming in and crowdfunding outside of CG, raising the bar and forcing CG to up it's game. And so this is the right and true way of the free market.

I agree. What I might question is how the free market works within comicsgate. Better-looking books get the most money, but there's still that cult of personality and a certain amount of bending the knee at work.

Better-written books don't get a look-in. That's a disadvantage of crowdfunding books compared to something that can be completely laid at the feet of CG, but is it also a sign of how the free market is kind of hamstrung in this game?

But Comicsgate and anyone making indie comics could save the Comics Artform.

I won't deny CG has traction, but I think you could easily snip out 'comicsgate and' from that statement and it'd be true. Even indie comics could die off as an industry and the artform would still be there. Japan and Europe will see to that. In the US, even someone posting a crude webcomic on twitter will keep it ticking over.

And besides, what kinds of videos will he make without them? He almost never does a video that isn't a review anymore. Zack sans reviews is wasted talent.

He keeps saying he wants to be like Cartoonist Kayfabe. Who the fuck are Cartoonist Kayfabe? If I wanted to watch them, I wouldn't still be subscribed to Zack.
 
Being ANTI-SJW is about as tired as videooo00o0o0oos on The Last Jedi.

Is it really tired though? Or are you repeating SJW propaganda that has secreted into your brain from reading too many SJW things?

By way of illustration, let's take a look at Fandom Menacer channel Overlord DVD (222K subs):

"Star Wars Leaks Reveal Exactly How the Sequel Trilogy Will Be ERASED" - This is his biggest video, from June, with 574K views - about erasing the entire Sequel Trilogy timeline.

"Disney Investor Day REVELATION | Star Wars Sequel Films To Be ERASED" - This is a video he put out 22 hours ago which currently stands at 89K views.

That puts it higher than all of Frog's videos this entire year, with the sole exception of his recent video, "DISNEY + releases BRUTAL HIT PIECE on SJW MARVEL writer DAN SLOTT! LMFAO Why would they DO this?!" from two weeks ago, which currently stand at 91K.

They're likely both being throttled too, at the start of typing this post the Overlord DVD video was over 89K, now it's magically gone down to 88.77ish - it's been 'unviewed' over 200 times, heh. And now it's back up to 88.95, isn't maths funny. On Google anyway. And now 89K again.

Throttled numbers or not, though, I think he's well on course to running over @FROG's top video of the year in under 24 hours.

Two hours to go, 2K views needed to pwn Frog's whole Youtube year in 24 hours, with a Fandom Menace videoooooo.

It's exciting right Frog? It's like Wacky Races.

89.2K now... 89.3...

There's zero control to be had over YouTube videos getting views. It's not the subject matter, though, it's how it's presented.

Certain phrases attract attention. Yellow Flash came up with "Twitter Puritans" and ran that into the ground, but not before it got him a ton of view and subscribers.

Obviously, Doomcock found another term, "ERASED", that intrigues people to click on it. The idea that something is going to be gotten rid of is lurid enough to get people curious.

My best term is "Humiliation" or "Humiliated". Yellow Flash started borrowing that from me as well and did well with it. I got it from Simon Cowell, when he appeared on Howard Stern. They asked him why American Idol was so successful, and he said, "Humiliation." Americans pretended to like watching talented people sing, but secretly, they were all watching to see him tear down a delusional and untalented retard. Kiwi Farms operates from this premise too.

Anyhow, anytime I put that word in a thumbnail or in a title, it gets triple the views. It could be about ANYTHING.

How about this: "OMFG I can't believe I just got HUMILIATED by Doomcock?!"

It's funny that you mention Simon Cowell and those talent shows, I was just thinking the other day that this is exactly what CG is like, except the problem with CG is that nobody calls anybody else out for being shit. So it's like the ___ Idol shows but without the best part, which is the public humiliation.

I actually would describe those shows as deeper and darker than humiliation, it's about the public execution of someone's inner child, their deepest lifelong hopes and dreams.

It's much like how humans used to enjoy public executions (and indeed Saudis still do), but in modern societies we don't get to hurt the body, so we hurt their insides instead.

The big problem with CG is there's no Simon Cowell. So it leans on the hugboxy side, holding hands and shit. Not stepping on toes.

Smiller would make an excellent Simon Cowell imo. When he was critiquing Big Daddy, Nasser asked him how much would it cost to illustrate Big Daddy's script, and Smiller replied "My soul."

Very good Cowellish retort!

Ha ha, Doomcock never stopped plugging away at STAR WARS videos and has nearly twice my sub count. The fact that some of my videos are getting commensurate views as his is pretty encouraging. I've only been back at it for a month now.

That thing about hurting someone's insides since public executions are no longer a source of entertainment was pretty Zack-esque.

ComicsGate doesn't need a Simon Cowell. The big platforms do.

When Smiller was spamming Nerdrotic's livestream with links for his LONESTAR comic, and Gary HUMILIATED him in front of 5000 viewers, that was pretty close to Simon Cowell.

And I guess I've had the same thing happen with Micah Curtis and Wenger. Varying levels of HUMILIATION required for each of those guys.
 
And once again, "ComicsGate" is the lure. This is a new way to do business. Do others want to peel away and try it? When you put a label on what we're doing, it terrifies them. ComicsGate takes power away from SJW gatekeepers, and also demonstrates to those working for big corporations that they might do better on their own.

SJWs don't produce good comics, they produce propaganda. Being anti-SJW should be everyone's default position, unless you enjoy having the things you love shit on while being called a bigot and told you're "Toxic" for complaining. They have far too much power and influence, they ruin art, fun and commerce, and they're cruel and mentally ill.

Worst of all, they're anti-capitalist and thus, anti-consumer. The thing I thought you cared about.

It's possible that you just disagree with ComicsGate, and believe that pandering identity politics have a place in your comic books, Mecha.
Dragoon Knight Alldrake was Comicsgate or at least Wenger was. Promoted on your channel (against your wishes or not) I'm pretty sure the only person "terrified" by a comicsgate label at that point was you.

SJWs don't produce good comics
is subjective That's not an argument, That's an opinion.

As for your second point, ANTI-SJW talking points are propaganda. If your trying to sell me on a comic by virtue of anything other than the quality of the book, that's propaganda. Not calling me a bigot and being called Toxic does not make your book special. Its a baseline standard for business. Not something you slap on the cover.
You've posted me trash-talking the mainstream with a fan art image of Superman and Batman as homosexual voyeurs, while my own stuff looks like a rock and roll good time. A fairly accurate caricature of what Marvel and DC are doing. Or at least, that's how fans FEEL about what they're doing. They're unhappy. And that's our opportunity to try to win them.
You set yourself for a My product is better than DC argument, which again is subjective. I can't change your mind, and Im not really trying to. I'll just leave it at producing one book a year you have a different business model than DC so an US for Them doesn't work if you admit to having a different business model and aren't really competing with them in the first place.

DC selling books in exchange for money is capitalism, even if some of their employees being idiots on twitter.

I disagree with comicsgate because most of the books are fun to laugh at; I need a little more than something else sucks to buy a comic book. That's just like my opinion man I could be wrong. I do appreciate you trying to change my mind and answering my questions. Happy to back the mainline Cyberfrog series based on the excellent art alone. Snowman looks good, and when does Creed launch?
