Holy fuck, Nick Rekieta, the guy who made the legal analysis video of the situation, has been arguing with that idiot Jamal Igle on twitter all day

LOL Igle ended up blocking him. I wish I could show the whole thing, but the replies are all over the place in this thread. I recommend just scrolling through Rekieta's twitter to experience all the :autism:: https://twitter.com/NickRekieta/with_replies
 
>There's nothing stopping him from finding another publisher

Are we doing that thing again where something isn't "banned"/whatever word you want to use but any attempt to bring it anywhere will be shut down? Chances are whatever publisher picked it up next would have the same song & dance and end up blacklisted if they actually publish it making that doubtful anyone would work with him on their part.

I don't see the difference.

He isn't finding another publisher, though. He's just making his own.

Isn't this clown the new meme account of a group of people who can't even mention a certain person's name without flying into sputtering, all-encompassing pants-shitting rage where every other word is "nazi", "deadbeat", "bigot", or "harasser"?

With a name like "Diversity and Comics is a deadbeat dad in transition", it would no doubt be the account of someone or a group of people who are very salty that they can no doubt have pants-shitting rage. A name like that really gives one that there's an individual with a very rusty axe to grind.

Yes, :autism: has no bounds whatsoever. Looking at what this guy says, it's all autistic screeching and admitting he's angry in bashing D&C unlike the "hypocrites" who gaslight. Beyond angry screeching and some terms like gaslight, it's funny to see angry tism.

I know about Splatto Comics. I'm more confused at the logic of "We're not saying you can't do something but we'll shut it down if you think about it". That doesn't give a choice in the matter and sounds cartoony.

It's ironic that these comics "professionals" are themselves acting so cartoonishly that they sound like the cartoon villains they write.

If they were to see themselves as comic book characters, they'd think they're more like the heroes that are manic pixie or whatever the term is they'd use despite sounding like cartoon villains and spergs.

I guess Disney could settle but they’re also the company that controls copyright law and will force daycares to paint over unauthorized paintings of their characters. I wouldn’t put much faith in a lawsuit.
I don’t think they even apologize when their mistakes get people killed.

You have to remember, the whole Daycare thing was during that dark time of 2000-2005 when Eisner's brain apparently broke. ABC or Disney couldn't release a damn thing without it being a commercial flop, and they were not bothering with, arguably, their most interactive medium the Theme Parks. They were slowly losing ground to UK-Based Tussards and various rivals in terms of global leisure share (Tussard's successor, Merlin holds the #2 spot and is still gunning to beat Disney eventually). Stocks were plummeting, revenues were down and things were starting to look bleak.

Roy C Disney helped steady the ship and put Disney back on track (mostly by getting shot of Eisner) and acquiring Pixar, Marvel etc. Thing is, the IPs of Marvel have proven far more profitable than the comics lines themselves, the end result of the rot is that the films are multi-billion cash cows while the comics most certainly are not.

It doesn't help that the talent they currently have are all seemingly tone deaf morons who desperately try and blame "White males" despite the fact good minorities comic books sell well compared to their stablemates.

To be honest, the best thing Marvel could, and should, have done, is go back to basics by launching an MCU-related series of titles focusing on other heros (and villains) that have only gotten tiny screen time, and the wider world of Marvel's Earth. Also go back to ultra ultra basics and start selling from newstands/newsagents again. Because piracy and scans might still be a problem, launch a crunchyroll style subscription service for people to be able to read shit on their mobiles and tablets. You'd probably pick up new customers by the thousands.

Heck, this plan could still be done now as we're only just in the middle of Phase 3.

What's interesting/one huge difference from Goobergate is that anti-ComicsGater-s seem to have overrun the #ComicsGate tag on Twitter. I think only one or two of the "Top" tweets under the tag is pro- at this point. It was completely the other way around with GamerGate, with every hashtag I remember that the opposition tried to start getting smashed by pro- forces.

Possible chicanery from Twitter HQ or legit activity is what I'm wondering. I'd have dismissed such things as paranoia in the past, but, eh, there seems to be no level Jack & Co. won't sink to at this point.
 
I'm generally pretty pro-CG, on the grounds that many of CG's opponents have backing from the usual suspects on Twitter and if you're willing to play the "hey, I remember that assclown from earlier" game, you'll find a lot of old Anti-GG mainstays entwined with the Anti-CG crowd. For example, Gabby Rivera is IRL friends with Kiva Bay, and Michelle Perez is unquestionably a Rat King component with all the idiocy that implies.

But I gotta give this warning in advance: Zack's videos are kinda boring at best and quantifiable as sleep aids at worst. He seems a decent enough sort, soft-spoken and usually pretty clever, but he takes forever to get to a point and meanders constantly. If you're willing to soldier past this he makes good points, can even be somewhat enjoyable, and is usually fairly straightforward with his findings, but good god does this provide a stumbling block to the uninitiated, and I cannot blame fucking anyone for wandering off if their first exposure is D&C.
 
I wonder if it's ever occured to the comics industry that they might want to lower their prices if they're trying to market to impoverished african-american and mexicans? 3-5 bucks per comic on a regular basis is quite the investment if you're dirt poor.

I agree on this. He just rambles and constantly coughs and it's like wtf is this guy even talking about. If the sijwuhs hadn't completely freaked out about him, he might just be some weird dude who had a short thread about himself here.

However, that just really makes it even more insane that the woke vigilantes chose this guy to stalk, harass, and basically lynch just because he said "hey your shit stinks just like everyone else's does." He did nothing but disagree with them.

This doesn't make him some huge hero, but it certainly makes the people who are obviously persecuting him for no fucking reason at all look like enormous cocksuckers.
