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

[WhimsicalTrolli]

JAWBREAKERS 5 is where I'm going to come in. The story is 50% mine, from a conversation we had. It is a comic book fan's dream comic. I've already got top talent lined up to do the art. I have plans to make the action figures with tons of weapons and accessories. I'm very, very excited about it.

For the figures Will, the articulation be like a Kenner? Hasbro mold like the star wars black/Marvel legends? Or it'll just be the PVC line.

For the figures, I highly recommend checking out the Power Rangers lightning collection Articulation/mold or...use a rose tico as an rough idea.

To summarize[...]

I intentionally avoiding giving details because I wanted them to be saved for D&V's stream (happening now). Vikki commented on Nasser's stream the other day that she is always disappointed when a Dumping Ground show has the same info as a Mr. Dongs KF info dump. Lol.

To put this show into context:

From Deal Frenzy to Decoupling: Is the China-Hollywood Romance Officially Over?

Five years after an unprecedented era of frenzied East-West dealmaking, cash flow has stopped, Donald Trump's trade war lingers, censorship is on the rise and human rights abuses in the Middle Kingdom have upended business prospects for the U.S. film industry: "It's hard to know what's going to...

Disney Studios have been under fire by the rest of the Hollywood establishment for their cozy attitude with the Chinese state. As most people already know, China's totalitarian control over its state media means it controls the terms of which multinational media companies are allowed to reach Chinese viewers, and their pro-nationalist, anti-LGBT, anti-identity politics and anti-Muslim policies that Disney is complying to in exchange for accesst are turning out to be a real thorn in the side of Hollywood's globohomo agenda to have those values permeate all of global culture. Marvel's Shang-Chi for example was deemed by China's media committee as being too pro-Muslim and actors like "Awkwafina" failing to meet the standards of being conventionally attractive.

Naturally, the anti-SJW, anti-cancel culture crowd we know and love as the Friday Night Tights team rally... behind Hollywood against Disney for deferring to China.

Riled into a furor by the guest peddler of yellow peril Keri Smith, armed with plenty of photos of Biden talking to Xi Jinping, the paypig supremes of Nerdrotic's channel empty their wallets for the privilege of sharing their completely backwards grasp of the situation.

When MechaRandom was ranting about how some people in the Fandom Menace (RIP) were controlled opposition, I took it as the sperging of an insane lolcow. But after skimming through this latest Friday Nights Tights stream, now I'm not so sure.

That George Molho guy is always throwing close to 1000 dollars at those streams. That's a lot of money to waste on the brief dopamine hit you get from having a boomer hit his soundboard and agree with any hot take you have.

Great minds think alike and all that. Anything that may have been taken as a complaint was purely said tongue in cheek.

700 dollars? Wtf...

Edit 800, fucking crazy

Bitcoin is at 35k now. Smiller has got to be feeling suicidal now.

I don't understand why people lose their shit over Bitcoin. I own a pissant amount just for shits and giggles. I often forget I even have it. I think the people that treat it as a major investment are probably more than a little crazy.

It's like stock, right? You don't actually lose anything unless you sell at a loss? It'll probably go back up. It might even be a good time to buy more if it's in a bust cycle.

Great minds think alike and all that. Anything that may have been taken as a complaint was purely said tongue in cheek.

I figured as much but, just in case, let the record reflect I was a good boy for keeping my trap shut. LOL.

Great stream tonight, BTW.

I was thinking anyone that throws a grand at Gary on a regular basis must be severely damaged. I was right!

Yes. Buy the dip if things are going bearish.

I guess my question is why is Miller losing his shit unless Bitcoin is going to turn into the equivalent of a junk bond and no longer be traded (which won't happen)? Was he looking to cash out right before the dip?

It's gonna rebound. Just sit on it. Silly people.

EDIT: Also, @FROG, I sent your a PM here on KF. I don't think I am in a Discord server with you.

Marvel's Shang-Chi for example was deemed by China's media committee as being too pro-Muslim and actors like "Awkwafina" failing to meet the standards of being conventionally attractive.

Many online commenters have slammed Liu and Awkwafina for not meeting the typical thin-chinned, high-nosed, pale-skinned, double eye-lidded standards of ideal Chinese beauty. In one of the most toxic arguments of all, many say Marvel cast them in lead roles because the studio “discriminates against Chinese people’s appearance.”

“Foreigners just love to deliberately cast Asian actors with squinty eyes! There are many actors in China and Asia with big eyes and prominent features,” one wrote.

These people are r.etarded.

 

[A nameless trool]

To trot out a cliche...just because Saruman was a bad guy that doesn't necessarily make Sauron a good one. This is so surface level it should require no nuance. Yet apparently the Friday Night Twats crew lined up as part of Team Sauron. This is an extremely weird take, assuming that's what happened. (Used to be able to get through that four hours of wankery, not so much anymore. In sum, I'll take your word for it.)

Spoiler: irrelevant observation

And fucking hell. These two fools dropped a combined $700 of their autism bux to Mr. "Owned a comic book shop for ten years" for a very brief Notice Me Senpai moment. This sort of shit challenges my (small "l") libertarian instincts almost as much as Twitch thottery does.

As I get older I'm starting to think some people may in fact need to be protected from themselves.

CG and FM are thots for boomers who are more into SW and comics than women.

Mike is probably just overreacting because he put all or most of his extra fiat into one basket and since his financial situation has never been exactly great, he thinks he's going to lose everything. Diversify your bonds, Miller.

 

[Captain Manning]

Doug is continuing with his Trump videos. He's ostensibly in DC

Speaking of not being able to let shit go...

Christ almighty. It's a good thing Doug is a good artist, because he'd be in trouble if he weren't.

People, lose their shit over bitcoin because they are too stupid to scalp it when it gets high like it did at 60k. They also don't keep an eye on the news that could affect the prices. For example, whenever Elon tweets the price of crypto moves. Whenever Biden opens his mouth, the price of moves(usually down).

Personally, I think Bitcoin is a little too high to get in now if you don't have a lot of money like that. The time to get in Bitcoin was back in 2009-2012. I prefer to get into smaller crypto, where if they break out I find that I can make a lot more money than if I had invested in Bitcoin.

That's just me of course. Everyone has their own way of investing.

Should've cashed out and invest in a reliable stock.

I pressed play on Finatras song, watched the "never give up" slide show for a few seconds and carried on scrolling. When I got the end of the page and closed the window and noticed the music stop I realised it had been playing that whole time and I hadn't turned it off.

I mean it's not the greatest endorsement from me (3 hammers and sickles out of 5) but it wasn't the mega cringy own the Etsys thought.

I've heard much worse music out of CG personalities.

I have never had an issue with Finatra's music. It's... okay... I guess.

However, Finatra himself went completely cuckoo-bonkers-crazy a couple of months ago, and this is another flare-up. His MO seems to be accusing people of some grand conspiracy against him, and then getting blown the fuck out when it's pointed out how he has completely missed the plot. Literally nobody gave a shit about his Soundcloud account, but if he keeps up this nonsense, they might.

Also, an 11 hour stream of him mostly ranting is crazy. I've seen people do long streams for special occasions, on a dare, etc., but come on.

I think he's on... something. @TESTEFY-HD unironically suggested crack.

>China is an actual patriarchy that murdered millions of baby girls
Jesus fucking Christ. The one kid system was put in place to try and slow down the massive population boom and boys are preferred because it's expected of them to take care of parents when they get too old, not because they hate women.

I would like to hear Gary scream "ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS" with the soundboard clapping while he reads this and everyone else on the panel, hopefully, sit in silent horror but this thing is 5 hours long.

Because that makes it okay? Wow. Fucking wow. I mean. Did you think about what you were posting when you were typing that? Holy shit.

 

[The Bovinian Derivative]

Because that makes it okay? Wow. Fucking wow. I mean. Did you think about what you were posting when you were typing that? Holy shit.

No it's not okay, it's fucking horrible, but the Chinese were never one who gave too much shit about human rights and life in general so they went with something practical even with something like that so there you go.
But I don't want to further derail this thread with sociopolitical spergery so lets just go back to watching the comics industry eat itself alive.

For the figures Will, the articulation be like a Kenner? Hasbro mold like the star wars black/Marvel legends? Or it'll just be the PVC line.

I picture everything as Marvel Legends right now, scaled and articulated to compete with those toys. They seem to be the most popular.

But there's a vocal group of customers that seems to want 3 and 3/4 classic GI JOE, with the holes in the feet so that JAWBREAKERS can use the old vehicles and playsets. That's cool too.

The good thing is that once we get a workable digital sculpt of a character, we can reuse them for statues, busts and action figures at any scale. I'll start with the 6 inch Marvel Legends, and then later on, since they'll undoubtedly be far less expensive to produce, make GI Joe scale versions too.

I don't know if Mike legitimately put all his grift money into E-currency. If so that's fucking stupid.

Is it an emissions thing?

Beats me. Not in any one I'm in (Pangea, etc.). So I sent him a PM here. I don't know how else to contact him.

Diversify with any investment strategy. Unless it's just a small amount of money. Which I'm guessing, in Mike's case, it's not.
