JDA never antagonized the fans. He slagged Ethan for throwing him under a bus for his association to Vox Day. The fans turned on JDA, not the other way around.
Nah Nasser, I'm good. Watching you and JDA debase yourselves for a few thousand bucks in IGG support is rather entertaining.
2 books funded in 5 months. I've spent the last couple weeks writing scripts for GREAT artists. We're going nowhere but up.
How does it taste though?
Cringy yes, also kind of sad. Comicsgate and Anti-Comicsgate has its share of protagonists and antagonists (depending on your POV), "heroes and villains" if you will. But somehow PP and his handful of followers exude nothing but pathos.
Wasn't @Mecha part of that whole Preston Knights faggotry?
Yep, he was part of PK v1.0. His job was the distribution of meme's
I've said it before but I'll say it again. @Mecha is beyond retarded.
If you search on here, I posted all the screenshots from their "RULES & REGULATIONS" meeting they had in a discord. It is beyond cringe to read
Yep. When other creators praise books like College of the Dead or Magic Cop/The Lost Pages, my immediate reaction is "You either didn't read them or you're lying to protect someone's feelings." I understand not wanting to be overtly critical of others' work in CG, especially newer creators who are finding their footing. But coddling them doesn't help anyone. It makes me trust your word less and it's a disservice to the creators who should be receiving honest feedback so they can improve (or try to). It also spits in the face of this concept of "merit."
Simple Zack going from 10,000 backers for Jawbreakers: Lost Souls to struggling to hit 1000 in 2021 may not be the big "going solo" success you say it is. Although I'm willing to concede there might be other reasons for this. Have you checked out this latest cover?
To attract real talent you need to prove that the audience/potential customers are there, and to attract (or at least retain) potential customers you need real talent. One problem is that the people who proved an ability to get an audience instead of going to the effort and the risk of creating a crowdfund project went for the much easier youtube revenue and proceeded to be systematically domesticated by the youtube algorithm.
Is Ethan promoting 499 on his streams at all?
I'm actually low-key, cautiously excited for Zack's potential rebirth/renaissance as an Ooropean-style bande dessinée author.
I mean, why use the shambling corpse of American comics that only isn't bankrupt because all aspects are subsidized when you could use the Euro scene that has notably more success nowadays as your example?
He did at first when it launched in December but between refusing to appear, and launching Rock N Roll Ninja in the middle of the night while telling no one, Frog's shilling became tinged with increasing exasperation with Zack. With the sacred cow not quite so sacred, the audience is growing considerably more hostile with Zack, what with the refusal to interact to what were fans along with the approaching year long delay with multiple crowdfunds. And it's not like there's a shortage of other things that could be promoted instead of this:
