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

[FROG]

That's not the reason they don't use KS. They don't use it because Richard and Lost Souls were rejected. To be fair, the rejection was a political act. Due to that gatekeeping, Frog and others swore off KS and chose IndieGoGo as it was very good to Ethan and those who had his ear.

I don't use Kickstarter in solidarity with Zack and Malin, who were denied a platform there for political reasons. That's correct. But also, part of successfully navigating cancel culture is to choose platforms that are the least likely to respond to SJW interference. We need as few weak points of attack as possible. It's never 100% certain that they won't successfully get us booted from IndieGoGo or YouTube or Twitter, but we know for sure that they can get us booted from Kickstarter, so we avoid using them. So far, most of us have been fairly treated by IGG and YT.

It's also the same reason we're not in comic shops, and the same reason we don't use the Direct Market. They're just another target for SJWs to swarm and pressure, and then declare victory.

Dale Keown is quickly become a good pal. He sent me a metal song with lyrics that said, "If you don't want to be denied, be undeniable" and that's the plan going forward. CYBERFROG, STARBLADES, and all of the books that ALL CAPS COMICS publish need to become so hot that no SJW pressure could stop us from being wherever we want to be. Once there's a demand that we be in bookstores and whatever comic shops survive, we'll enter the Direct Market, the newstands at Wal-Mart and Barnes and Noble.

IGG did ban my main cover for NDD for SJW-esque reasons. But in their defence they were very helpful in getting the issue resolved. There's a strong case that on KS the campaign would never have been approved in the first place.

Writing up the Dan Shahin video to wash it out of my mouth.

Walking into the pig slop that is the American comic industry, mainstream bitch pig Dan Shahin hosted the return of expert PayPiggie rangler Ethan 'Suwee" Van Sciver.

* Dan is a good example of the bitch pig. He's obsessed with framing everything through the lens of politics. Dan immediately lobs some slop, the situation in the Mid East, at Ethan. Like a good pig wrangler, Ethan ignores the grotesque gunk and replies he doesn't have an opinion. Showing his lack of basic human understanding of decency, Ethan talks about how upsetting the mainstream's pressure on Noah is to him. Dan then acts as if either Ethan or Noah is lying, only to back peddle as he realizes what a stupid thing to say that was.

* Finally, Dan falls back to a very old CG point on race swap characters. Frog is not the best person to have the discussion with, but he's game; stating that his opposition is that it should be about story. Dan pounces, pointing out that Sam Jackson is great as Nick Fury. Frog completely whiffs, agreeing but stating that that was the result of the incredible writing of Mark Millar.

At this point I would interject that Sam Jackson is an actor. Black facing Nick Fury added nothing of value and in fact hurt as when they did it in the main MCU, it meant erasing after disrespecting the OG Fury of Jim Steranko and Jack Kirby.

* At this point, Frog is forced to sit there as Dan sings how wonderful Joe Quesada was as an Editor at Marvel. Really, only second to Jack Kirby and Stan Lee.

* Frog largely let's this pass. Then shit hits the fan. Dan decides to start a ridiculous slap fight over the Capitol. Or as he calls it insurrection. He asks Ethan if his opinion finally shifted after the riot on January 6th. Ethan tries to liven things up, joking along the lines that being a Trump supporter means constant apologizing or whatever. Dan doesn't take the hint and continues, revealing that being the bitch piggy he is, he oinked at his Trump supporting family member. They, of course, told him that they were done with Trump. That they did that to stop his squeals probably never occurred to him. Ethan points out communists are bad, insurrection is bad. Dan retorts that he never heard of a communist insurrection, though later acknowledges giving nuclear secrets was a bad thing.

At this point I was asphyxiating from laughter. FYI, for half a century American socialists led revolts designed to depose the US government. The green corn riots of Oklahoma and the attempted 1920 bombing of Wall Street in New York are two examples. it was only after the Red Scare and Socialists facing the death penalty that they subsided somewhat. Ethan also fails to point out that the 'insurrection' was rioters vandalizing a government building. So, by that logic, say attacking a police station is insurrection.

* Ethan calls with all his might to drag Danpig back to fucking comics. It somewhat succeeds and Dan reveals that he received emails from former colleagues of Ethan with tons of 'dirt' on him. Including his ex-wife. Ethan relates that this is evil, and marvels that Dan would reveal this as it hurts his side. Dan immediately backpedals like with Noah, explaining he's not on their side but the truths and the writers only sent him stuff about him being a lazy asshole!

* The chat at this point is savagely pro Ethan.

* Dan wants Ethan to repeat his exodus from DC. Meh. The only interesting thing to come of this is Dan admits that he 'knows' Zach and that they've emailed. Boiling down, it appears his attempted argument is Ethan was an asshole. That, not his politics is the reason he was fired. For reference he uses Frank Miller, who last I checked was a Trump bashing lefty.

* Dan is now forced to face comments, with Dan revealing his pro Palestine and asking Ethan to name his gay shields.

Over all a pathetic effort by a man who has yet to learn he is the least interesting thing in the room.

- Who else can tell this guy hasn't done physical labor in his life?

Has Liam said he hired a crew to build this shit or is he trying to act like this is something he's been doing himself?

Has Liam said he hired a crew to build this shit or is he trying to act like this is something he's been doing himself?

I'm pretty sure he's said that he's doing it all 100% by himself.

 

[Miniluv]

I'm pretty sure he's said that he's doing it all 100% by himself.

Which is why we always see Liam showing us every stage of construction after it's completed and there's no footage of Liam cutting beams or hanging drywall or doing anything remotely physical other than poorly sweeping a floor he didn't build.

Out of self respect, I've not watched every Liam treehouse video. I was just curious if he's ever mentioned a crew and if he's flat out said he was doing all of the construction labor himself.

What a little turd.

I haven't watched the last couple but I think I remember him saying "all me" a few times in an earlier aussiepisode.

 

[YesNoMaybe]

I listened to the interview with Dan. The only thing I would agree with him with is there is still sexy women in comics. But that's besides the point of SJW agenda. They can't control every comic published and they are attempting to alter IP that has long lasting appeal. My response is the same to Frog's about She-Hulk, you shouldn't alter something to lesser results following a fantasy buyer and/or social agenda (and was done much better in the past by real legends, such as John Bryne mentioned).

Frog handled him well. All the points boil down to, Frog responding, who cares, so what, and... ? Also, Frog definitely was uncomfortable talking about his daughter and I think bringing up hypotheticals about her future reading habits is another pointless rabbit hole.

You’ll never know until you try, however from a quick bit of research related to the subject, I’d more expect approval than not.

While it expectedly has quite the opposite tone, another comic about fighting the Klan just got funded a month or two ago, and from just looking it up J am seeing a couple campaigns that openly have Nazi imagery (even with unedited swastikas) on their thumbnails and were approved just fine.

 

[TESTEFY-HD]

He is trying to get people to think he is doing all the work when it is very apparent it is a habitat for humanity project.

I believe the people who were gatekeeping projects were laid off last year.

That might be why Ethan is sore at KS, but he HAS brought up the BLM thing several times now as a reason why other people in CG don't like KS. He's done it even in this thread.

SPOILER: Both platforms have issued pro-BLM messages. You're just gonna have to live with it.

IGG literally just donated $17K to Stop AAPL Hate, an organization that is partly run by, and I am not even exaggerating here, “Chinese for Affirmative Action”.

Exactly. And that's chump change.

My bank, that I've had a checking account with since I got my first job as a teenager, donated 400 MILLION DOLLARS to BLM.

Should I go through the hassle of switching banks?

They let me deposit my money. They let me withdraw my money. Basically the main functions of a bank.

KS takes my money, gives it to Tim, and I get a faux-manga book with lots of tits and ass that Liam says doesn't sell.

You're not changing the world by refusing to do business with a middleman like KS and IGG, people. You're really not. They don't care.

Sigh. What did you do now?

Ethan, they are ALL susceptible to "SJW interference." Even the payment processers like Stripe, which handles a lot of payments over the Internet. Even Visa, MC, and Discover. Even the banks. The entire backbone of our financial system is now susceptible to SJW interference.

Welcome to the new normal. You just have to take your chances. Don't "purity spiral" to the point where you one day end up swearing off fiat currency in some grand but fruitless gesture.

I don't mind you doing this in solidarity with Zack and Malin, but the BLM thing is silly.

 

[COMMI3 MARK]

We've done the KS vs IGG debate plenty of times. The reality is we know the audience have IGG accounts and we suspect a fraction of them also have KS accounts. Convincing me your comic is the tits and an absolute must have is hard enough without asking me to also register on a new website to get it. That's effort.

I was merely relaying the stated reasons which he reiterated. I think it's smart to offer yourself as an exclusive. IGG has more incentive not to buckle if its getting all the cash.

My bank, that I've had a checking account with since I got my first job as a teenager, donated 400 MILLION DOLLARS to BLM.

No. Only if your bank regularly denies you basic service. Then yes you go to the bank with stones that doesn't kick paying customers out
.

They let me deposit my money. They let me withdraw my money. Basically the main functions of a bank.

KS, on the other hand, did not. It kicked Richard and it kicked Mike Miller. It has an arbitrary policy.

KS takes my money, gives it to Tim, and I get a faux-manga book with lots of tits and ass that Liam says doesn't sell.

Tim Lim? Again. For whatever reason SJWs don't mind Tim. He's never gotten the level of heat others have.

I'm not even sure why Ethan is complaining about a company donation or saying they support BLM at this point, I mean what major company hasn't made a statement or donated to them at this point? Besides, financial services are more likely to be pure lip service anyway.

Then again, have you seen some of the stupid shit there's coins for?

I want the bonus NFT for buying Cyberfrog number 5 with CAPS coin. And I don't even know what an NFT is.
