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

I think by now a lawsuit would not be beneficial to either of them.

Because Mark Wiad is on his way down because of a dying mainstream industry and Rich is on his way up as a fully established comic book publisher. Neither of them can really afford to push through with a lawsuit that has pretty much become pointless due to the Comic Book crowd on both sides not really giving a damn about the outcome anymore.

Basically, Rich got what he wanted and became a part of the comic book industry and Waid got exposed as the villain he really is but, still got away with keeping Rich away from being published by a mainstream publisher.
So at the end this was kind of a draw.

After a fortune of other peoples money....

I guess it would be more of a win on Ward’s part, but the lawsuit did benefit Rich a lot more than it did Waid. The lawsuit might have went away but Ward’s reputation is damaged

Yeah, that gofundme with a whos who of industry giants donating showed how injured he was. He was so hurt he got his dream job of writing Superman. :lit:

he did not prevent Rich from becoming a force in the industry.

Richard is nothing in 'the industry.' It's a tiny clubhouse at this point. But 'the industry' is the direct market, which CG isn't apart of. It isn't sold in stores, doesn't reach more than four or five thousand people at most. Brian Visagio has a larger readership than Richard does.

Okay. First, yes if he ever actually believed the lawsuit was genuine. Waid would eventually have to pay attorney fees and there would be an award.

Second, If he wanted to settle, he should have gotten something. Even the Quarterpounder got that faggot that sucker punched him to do something. Unless he didn't actually have as good a case. In that case, allot of fools got separated from their cash for a lolsuit.

Originally Meyer was going to do this with his own money. He said all the right things about not letting this happen to someone else, holding Waid accountable and so on.

If he managed to get a public apology out of Waid for his supporters who financed the LoLsuit that would have been something. But this is less than nothing.

Waid is not held accountable, no apology, no restitution we know of and the next asshole who decides to cancel a creator who liked Trump or thought there are only 2 genders won't think twice because Waid 'got away with it'. Whether Waid had to shell out to Meyer (I doubt it) or not we'll never know but if Meyer negotiated a cash settlement without an admission of guilt then he fucked over his supporters taking their money and then selling out their interests in return for Mark's money. Leaving them holding the bag.

This result is gayer than two guys fucking.

So Richard should have just taken Mark Waid’s interference with his Antarctic Press deal on the chin and not set a precedence by suing Mark Waid? Let’s not forget that Mark Waid also had a gofundme for his defense so he wouldn’t have had to pay as much in legal fees himself.

Rich was fighting a losing battle from the start because he was going up against big business, but it was good that he didn’t let that slide because it helpEd other creators who’s views that don’t align with the mainstream’s get publishing deals. Like Tim Lim’s Black Hops books being published by Antarctic Press. I’m also willing to bet that if for some reason Rich wanted to publish a book under Antarctic Press or another publisher there would be no one to stop him this time.

He should've seen the suit through but I guess the money ran out. Did Biggon's doxing here play a part in that? He hasn't been seen since.

That’s what I’m thinking too. I figured Bigguns would keep his head low and out of site after it was revealed how hard he simped for Anna.

I don't understand it really. On the CGtard scale he doesn't even register for me. I only disliked him because he bid on a few things I was interested in and there's no point bidding against him, so jealousy really. He hasn't done anything wrong - the amounts he was throwing around might make us shudder but can probably be found in his couch cushions.

Not what I said. I provided two courses of actions. You provide a third.

Missing the point. The cost would have been recoverable. Frankly, if the case is that strong, I don't know why it wasn' contingency based.

Lim was already being published by them. He was the one that introduced Richard to Antarctic.

Well that lolsuit is a waste, damn it seems our counter culture lolsuits are doomed to fail. The sjws won the political culture war. Yeah we can fund 6 figure war chest but it doesn't mean anything if the sjws can win.

I've long suspected Richard was sick of all of it.

He's wanted to rebrand himself for awhile. It's frustrating because he got into a fight and quit before it was finished.

That's what's so irritating to me. No one forced him into it. He could have dipped out before it got to this point. He can't even pull the Null defense that this has been a massive burden. He makes good money of Youtube and his comics, which is his dream job.
