If a tree falls in the woods and nobody is there to hear it they won't listen to Micah either.

Sometimes Mike says stupid shit, like when he said everyone should rally behind Mitch Breitweiser's years belated afterthought of fulfilling his backers a few months ago. It happens. Now "Blacklist Universe" is saying he wasn't really blacklisted by SJW gatekeepers, not compared to Comicsgate. This begs the question of why then did Mike originally name his channel that? Was he ever blacklisted? I'll let Mike answer:

I guess "Low Pagerate Universe" wasn't as catchy.


Hm yes, influential people didn't like it when you were carrying water for a messianic cult that was claiming they were a cabal of pedophilic vampires who stole the 2020 election, and your calls that they be treated as normal patriots weren't received well. I too wonder why this happened.

Putting that aside, I'll just go ahead and ask where is the ideological coherence coming from the Doug TenNapel/Ro Kabir/Preston Poulter friend circle? So far it's just listening to a QAnon grifter, that has been repeatedly banned from Youtube for peddling seditious disinfo explicitly for personal profit, yammer about "integrity" and how other people are involved in a cult. The only way there could be ideological substance to such a group at all is if the whole ideology is opposition to some fat guy in New Jersey.

If Mike wasn't initially blacklisted, he certainly was once he threw in with CG.

QAnon led a bunch of otherwise rational people on and I don't necessarily blame anyone for having been interested in them at one point. Though when multiple predictions never come to pass, it's time to abandon ship. While there is plenty of wonderfully valid reasons to hate politicians, you still have to look before you leap. Truth is always in the mix, there's just a ton of assembly required. Those who sacrifice their time to pour over these comparatively useless CG streams, I salute you, but if you want to start talking political conspiracy theories I hope there's more to it than a casual write-off. If anything deserves that, it's CG.

There's so much going on in this country with so much riding on it, I'm thankful for people who are willing to put their necks out for a decent cause even if they're wrong from time to time. I'm obviously biased, but I think it's extremely important not to get swept away with the promise of carrots no matter how short the string may be. Just watch for glowing setups and the barium meals. Edwin was willing to fight for something he knew he might not win and he paid the price. I personally don't think you need Q to tell you that most of the political elites are pedo nutjobs especially after Savile and Epstein. It was not a reliable source you could take to court though. Considering what was at stake I appreciate the effort that was made.

Comic Books could hardly be more unimportant in comparison. Ethan and many of his fellow pros are surviving, some thriving and some scraping by in this climate, but it's a sick joke to say most of these intellectual giants are fighting any kind of ideological war. Zack was the closest one to it and now that he raised the white flag, CG has no right to claim anything other than mere small scale crowdfunded publishing like everyone else. Tim and Mike put in their dues but if you don't grift up or plug into someone else's popular movement, the idea has to be more important than the money you may or may not bring in.

Guys sorry to Liam!!! up the thread, but there's some fresh and curious Liam droppings on Youtube, that simply demand closer inspection:

Here Liam is trotting out his old story about meeting with the Postmaster-General of Australia, who flew down specifically to meet with Liam and was so impressed he gave Liam 'the Amazon deal'.

It's very exciting! Liam is positioning himself to become the number one comic publisher in Australia.
All the Australian CGers will come to him to be published, because of this special deal he charmed out of the Postmaster-General!

Now I know what you're thinking - but Liam is full of shit isn't he?
Well, it depends. Did he have an aneurysm? Did he drink a bottle of vodka? Did he and the FBI bust the Comicsgate pedo ring? (Apart from that slippery little nonce Nasser, who remains a nonce-at-large?)

I can't comment - it's not for me to interfere with other people and their beliefs about Liam.

But I do find it odd that Liam met with the Postmaster-General, when Australia hasn't had a Postmaster-General since 1975:

Postmaster-General's Department - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

It seems Australia Post was corporatized, with a non-executive board of directors and a chairman, and then an executive team, none of whom are called Postmaster-General as you can see from this link:

Executive Team

Now as to which one of these fine corporate-government executive types flew down to meet with Liam, I wish I knew. But the clues dry up here, all I know is it was a man, according to Liam, and he was the Postmaster-General of Australia, which Australia hasn't had since 1975. So until we receive further information, it must remain another Mystery of Liam.

these guys are so desperate that they will go seek help from SJW types if it means that they can get one over on CG. I’ve seen Edwin attempt this several times on twitter only to get laughed at by said SJW. And of course we know Preston is pretty left leaning And often employs sjws.

On a stream I caught briefly last night he let slip that due to COVID he didn't get that amazing shipping deal for Xenotype after all and had to pay an extra $12k out of his own pocket. To my knowledge thats the first time he's contradicted his long-standing claims of having the best shipping rates ever seen in AUS.

No, this isn't a joke. Zach opened a new channel called "Sound Financial Decisions"

Having thousands of people willingly send you hundreds of thousands of dollars for a pamphlet they're OK with getting years late if at all is a pretty fucking sound financial decision!

 

[GranDuke]

Yeah I'm in agreement. His MO is to put so much worldbuilding that's unnecessary into the story it looks like he's done a ton of research and there's a lot of wordy info-dumping which is not conducive to comics, but gives the impression he sounds smart. It ends up pretentious navel-gazing. It's the kind of stuff that's uplifted by comic book critics from CBR all day long.

There is a general idea that if you did lots of research for your work then automatically it is going to be better. To me his info-dumps always felt like a signal - look at how much I read about this, its not just random shit!

This sounds super dumb, but then again he was doing a lot of business related videos in his early days, plus he has an audience to monetize that channel fast and business channels have some amazing CPM ad rates.

This is the most recent update (https://archive.is/2wasc) Zach did on Indiegogo to Jawbreakers: Grand Bizarre. What the hell am I even reading here? Sounds like somebody who's gone off their meds. WITH random CAPITALIZATION and bolding or EVEN BOLD CAPITALIZATION. I'm so convinced now. I thought Indiegogo updates were just for the status of the project, not for random sperging? Hell, he has a YouTube community page for that, why not post this nonsense there? Is it because nobody's paying attention to Jawbreakers any more?




Also, I thought this kind of thing was a very dangerous game to play? Or in Zach-speak, A VERY DANGEROUS GAME TO PLAY, in the sense that you might be able to use Batman, but God forbid you have him driving around in anything that looks like a Batmobile, even if you don't call it that, etc., before that enters the public domain as well.

Yeah but when he joined he claimed he was already blacklisted. He told me on a stream once he was blacklisted twice. He was blacklisted from DC but they bought Wildstorm where he was working at that time, and therefore became "unblacklisted" I guess, because he got work at DC after that. Now that I think about that, that doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I can't remember the details--something something being Christian something something they didn't like him because of it.

But back to D10. What mystifies me is how Doug has been putting out great product but keeps getting involved in this garbage when he doesn't have to. And now he's walking around holding Preston's filthy hands... and we all know he won't wash his own. It's a terrible embarrassment that will only get worse and maybe even threaten his customer base at some point. Absolutely radioactive. I'm all about making whatever your IP is and doing it well, but the gayops and the gay alliances haven't helped anyone make better comic books. And that should be sobering for someone like Doug or Ethan who have the lionshare of talent with almost nothing to show for it next to their volumes of YouTube grifting.

Doug seems to be chimping out, and it's a real shame to see because he's the top tier talent of the crowdfunding comics scene. The mentally ill element of CG (Not an insignificant percentage) has cost him tens of thousands using dirty mass refund tactics and TRIED to cost him millions by trying to get him cancelled, and he clearly wants some blood in revenge. It's so pointless though and will only hurt himself. It's lead him to hanging out with anyone who is anti-Frog, no matter how retarded they are.

I'd love him to stop doing boomer gay-ops and grifts and just go back to doing crowdfunding, he's one of the only people making comics that are actually worth buying, unlike 99% of CG Rob Liefeld-tier garbage.

Truly, Ya Boi is going all in on comics.

Zack rambles a lot. He has made comments both saying he will only do comics until he gets bored (I think we're past that point) and saying he will stick to it. I think he's staying in until he finds something else successful.

I think the attacks by Michelle Perez, Mark Waid and others really got to him. He even went off on a tangent on bisexual lighting(?) in one of his car comic reviews. Whatever happened to Michelle? I know the artist of that comic Perez did for Image, Remy Boydell, got in twitter trouble for some comics he liked or drew, but seems to have gotten over that.

It's a "reverse entropy financial discussion channel". But I did learn that wealthy people are lonely and can tell when you are making enough money to qualify you for basic financial advice such as how to pay off your credit card correctly.

Maybe my brain is mush from listening to Zack talk for a couple of years, but wasn't this public domain stuff sort of a minor obsession of his a while back? I could have sworn he talked about it and the ideas he had for some sort of Conan story he was just dying to write when the character finally went into public domain. If I recall correctly, he did the Zack thing and backed off of it once he realized there were certain concepts and aspects of the characters that didn't go into public domain with the actual character or something like that. He stopped talking about it after a short while.

In any case, Zack is a dumbass if he actually thinks he'll be able to do anything with any of the Big Two characters on that list of his. If he thinks the pulp characters have so much to work with, what's the point of waiting for years until they fall into public domain? Do what literally every comic writer does in situations like this: make up a similar but distinct character. Maybe that's too much heavy lifting for Ya Boi.

I'd forgotten about this, but I think I do remember this as well, I think around the time Zorro and maybe Buck Rogers entered the public domain, maybe? He rambled, coughed and did little half laughs in a couple of videos and then whined about it and finally stopped talking about it. Probably all those videos are privated now, though.
