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

[jspit2.0]

I watched a 24 hour period where 80 of my followers got suspended or banned.

Banned from Twitter. The agony.

As I am 100% for Trump crossing the Rubicon,

So...fuck democracy? Neat

ComicCucks thinks Marvel should abandon one of their most badass characters, because his soy-filled ass says so.

They aren't going to do it. Besides, why is this bad? "Oh no, Marvel. Please don't stop letting Antifa supporting, cop hating losers write the Punisher. Don't sit on the character for awhile until things die down. How will we survive..."

 

[Absurdity]

Even if Russia had an army of Soviet era comic book commies bred from birth to spew propaganda 24/7, they'd still look like amateurs next to these people. I blame frog DNA.

It's bad, because this soyboy demands dropping the character as an option, just to shove it up some mental conservacucks who use his insignia. Maybe it's indeed better if Punisher is put to rest, before Marvel will turn him into complete shit, but there is still a potential for good Punisher comics in the future, as long as Garth Ennis is onboard. His Punisher: Soviet was pretty awesome.

I see @Mecha is still checking this thread, which I'm glad about because I found a primary source historical document to slap him across the face with:

How do you like that Mecha!
Read it and weep.

Charlie Chaplin was headlining comics in 1915 - while the world was busy knocking seven shades of shit out of itself in the Great War, Chaplin's Tramp was the hero they needed.

Note also, that 1915 is decades before America supposedly "invented" comics by filling every page with near-naked muscle men.

I backed Charlie's London. Can't wait to read it!

Most twitter commies would be super triggered if they ever read what Leftists wrote about Communism back in the 60's and 70's. Just telling them that 1984 is a take on Communism would shock them. Actually reading it would have them accuse Orwell of being an alt right natcheee that was opposed to their ideal red anarchist consumerist society. If only that evil man Orwell ever fought fascists like they do...

PS: Yes, I do know what the Spanish Civil War was and I am being sarcastic

I'm just tired of idiots trying to ban everything or declare it forever tainted because a guy they don't like happens to like it. These types of people should never be entertained

Can anyone who follows these crowdfunding things explain why Rainbow Brute is doing so much worse than Cyberfrog?

It is a new franchise that doesn't have a history like Cyber Frog has and a less clear future.

It probably has to do with being a brand new untested IP, focusing more on comedy than 90s nostalgic action. Not to mention the campaign was launched during December, which historically has been a bad time to crowdfund given it's proximity to Christmas and the holidays.

While Reignbow Brute isn't doing as well as Rekt Planet, it is performing almost as well as Bloodhoney monetarily.

Track Ethan Van Sciver's REIGNBOW THE BRUTE's Indiegogo campaign on BackerTracker

by Ethan Van Sciver A FAIRYTALE satire for REAL MEN.

www.backerkit.com

So far it has $337,488 from 2,632 backers with 17 days remaining on the campaign before it goes in-demand. Bloodhoney and Rekt Planet were in-demand for months, so once the holidays pass we might witness a surge of backers spread out over the coming months.

Keep cowing it up Mecha. You came to this board running down the Charlie's London hard, got your shit pushed in by Kiwi's capable of independent thought and folded like a steel chair after a 12 step get together at the local church.

Grow a spine.

I guess leeches are invertebrates though. So far you've latched on to the space fairing Aussie con man, the cuck porn soopa star, the faggot larping legion of spurned lovers to a comic book cult leader robot frog artist ... and Mike.

Do you even have any opinions of your own?

Launching a new property over X-mas / New Years in a pandemic.

Parodying 80's properties designed for pre-teen girls that have been forgotten by almost everyone and no one has really cared about since those pre-teen girls turned 13.

The art seen so far looks like it lacks the hyper rendered art style so many EVS fans love about his work.

Smug's numbers seem to indicate that revenues are holding relatively steady while backer numbers have weakened. This could be Ethan's schtick fatiguing while his model for squeezing paypigs has been optimized.

While Reignbow Brute isn't doing as well as Rekt Planet, it is performing almost as well as Bloodhoney monetarily.

Yep.

Pledge size and backer numbers look to have inversely risen and fallen from BloodHoney to Brute. The loss of backers has been almost perfectly replaced by more efficient exploitation of the remaining audience.

It will be interesting to see if this model is sustainable.

Squeezing a shrinking customer base for more sheckles per head hasn't been a winning formula for the xirs at Marvel, DC and Image though it has kept their heads above water despite the loss of audience.

Welcome back, farmers.

Reignbow Brute is doing fine. Prior campaign hasn't fulfilled yet and it was over Christmas timing-wise when all crowdfunds dip. It'll pick up. I've seen no indication Ethan has declining numbers of backers. Everyone wishes they could have a campaign this successful, myself included.

 

[jspit2.0]

I decided, while the forums were down, to take a look at how the terrible duo of Ethan and Doug were doing.

Doug has continued to make videos oblivious to the fact that he is endangering his YouTube channel and that if they decide to Alex Jones him, he's done. This further raises questions. One of his justifications for leaving CG was how controversial it was. Yet his current actions aren't? It makes you wonder how the EWJ rights holders feel about his activities?

Over on Ethan's channel, he's decided to go full Tug/YF. He's casting about making videos on all things pop culture. Most of it is clickbait garbage and worthless outside of algorithm games.

I say most because He did a very interesting video on DC comics!

Van Sciver chides his audience for cheering Dan Didio. He cites an article by Ritch Johnson, who himself cites Jason Fabok, that DC is a shit show now and before this it ran like a well oiled machine. Van Sciver's defense of his old enabler is...difficult to swear.

I had previously raised Robservations and Rob Liefeld's enduring grudge against Dan Didio. The podcast on Dan is here

the-dc-dilemma

The truth is in the middle

Rob remains butt hurt against Dan for not treating him like a superstar. Ethan loves Dan because Didio was good to him. But the truth?

The truth is, Dan Didio enabled SJWs to infiltrate DC and he actively elevated them. It was Dan Didio that kept hiring Gail Simone and Greg Rucka. It was Dan that fostered Batlesbian and identity politics. It was Dan that ran the chaos of the Nu52 (some titles having up to three creative teams in a year). It was Dan who, when the Portland mafia called DC for not having 'enough' women, chose to bend over for them. This despite Joe Queseda a few years earlier successfully defenestrating a site for challenging Marvel.

The truth is also that Didio protected those he saw as DC's top talent. He insulated Capullo, Fabok, and others from the rampant dysfunction at DC comics and sought to keep DC alive, even as the forces he created and appeased ravaged it.

Dan deserved to get fired and no, firing him would not and did not fix the problems of his leadership.

You clearly haven't bothered to look then. ( Or you're full of shit. )

Doug has continued to make videos oblivious to the fact that he is endangering his YouTube channel and that if they decide to Alex Jones him, he's done. This further raises questions. One of his justifications for leaving CG was how controversial it was. Yet his current actions aren't? It makes you wonder how the EWJ rights holders feel about his activities?

Not all hills are created equal.

Doug left CG because he didn't want to be associated with WarCampaign given that WC was heartily supported in it's gay ops, harassment campaigns and degeneracy by a very tacit CG. I don't think that was the hill TenNaple wanted to make a stand on.

Sharing ones opinions on politics during an Orwellian purge of conservatism across social media seems like a different hill completely.

I think the owners of EWJ are less squeamish about someone talking about politics than someone being in a group that thinks photo shopping their "enemies" into bestiality porn is cool.

But I could be wrong.

So, I know we're all here for the shitposting and debauchery, but if I can just take a moment to say something positive and uplifting:

I ordered Kamen America Vol. 1, after hearing about it on Dean and @VIkkiVerse's show. I am very happy with it, and will be backing the campaign for Vol 3 this month. As I understand it, this isn't really a "Comicsgate comic," but just a comic that thumbs its nose at SJW nonsense, and has a good time doing it. This is... no joke... the first comic I have purchased since 1993-94. Being a weeb, I was drawn to the artwork.

I suppose as it applies to this thread, it's interesting to point out that Tim and Mark clearly have their shit together. They are doing one issue a month, so far, and putting out a high quality product that ships on time. Even the fucking shipping material from Iconic Comics was first rate, and I got a patch and $5 off coupon that I didn't expect.

It makes me wonder if this should be held out as a poster child on how to do crowdfunded comics?


(I misspelled definitely in my haste. Sue me).

 

[A nameless trool]

I believe the most comicbook drama today happened in the most innoquous place, Comics, by Perch's channel.

He did a video hinting at a rumor about a high up executive at marvel that "will bubble up at some point" and later on makes a hypothetical comment about an executive sleeping with a number of interns which may mean that soon we will learn who let the fake geek girls in (and who let the fake geek girls in them)
(rumor bit timestamped here)

Then SGM comes in the comments and drops this comment and then a cryptic answer.

Towards the end, Perch rambles some more about two Marvel scandals and says that, once more people go to the chopping block, rumors might come out in droves.

2021 will be a FUN year...

Maybe WC fallout? Isn't this the first big post split fundie?

I know Cecil lost a good deal of shine on that. I've never found him funny on his own, so I can't assess whether substantively his stick has worn out.

Any Cecil whisperers here?

When Ethan launched the campaign he announced on the launch stream that Cecil wouldn't be attached to the book. He simply hasn't bothered to remove Cecil's name from the cover. Why bother updating the campaign page so people don't think that's what they are buying?
