#Comicsgate - The Culture Wars Hit The Funny Books!

Ethan offered them a get out of jail free card and they refused it? Only to sit on the sidelines and watch Ethan get off scott free while they are on the hook for what could be potentially hundred of thousands of dollars? No wonder she’s sour grapes about the whole thing,
Well, not quite free. They would have had to hire a Lionel Hutz type (very cheap in a relative sense) to sign off on a joint motion, but FROG would have done most of the heavy lifting by having his lawyers draft the motion that would have gotten them off. This is as opposed to them having their lawyers engage in a duplication of effort, and having to pay accordingly. He specifically asked his lawyers to help their broke asses, and that is what was offered. So, not quite free, but DEEPLY discounted.

To my mind, @FROG should get credit for at least trying to help. I mean, we know in this instance his help would have been really good. Why? Because his lawyers got the case dismissed with the very motion that he offered D&V to join. At least for the time being.

And hoping to get CG flagged off of IGG is just plain childish. Not to mention where would we be if we didn't have crazy-ass super-late IGG campaigns to laugh at? I dunno about you, but I don't want to see a depressed @Mister Dongs because his spreadsheets dry up. I love reading his reports.

Remember, you don't get milk if you kill the cows. While this is definitely a thread to laugh at CG, nobody should want to destroy CG. Destroying the cow is antithetical to the purposes of any KF thread.
 
The reaction to Vikki's tweet seems pretty gay, imo. All she ever does is talk about late books. That's literally her thing. You weirdos are seeing ghosts if you think that's a call for cancellation.

Nah, a campaign is flagged down because of a TOS violation and then shes vagueposting about 35 other Comics Gate campaigns that are in violation of the TOS. Hey guise look there are 35 other campaigns that could be taken down, don't flag them!

The real crazy thing in all this is that Spectre actually did the right thing.

It'd be simply unsatisfying Manning. It'd be like if I broke into DarkGift Comics' house and broke his hands and fingers instead of letting his art speak for itself. If Comicsgate fails, it should be because of the shortsighted, lazy, selfish and flat out incorrect actions of the figures within it. A late creator getting deplatformed because they angered an Indiegogo janny instead is just fucking gay, and robs all of us of years of alibis, blaming friends and excusemaking drenched in flop sweat as they drown in the problems of their own making.

I frankly can't tell by VikkiVerse's tweet given its vagueness whether it was intended as a concern troll about the insecure state of various CG campaigns, a complaint about IGG's perceived favoritism towards Comicsgate campaigns and the rules (both of which are points of contention she has raised in the past) or, as wide swaths of CG are spreading, taunts of a wave of stochastic terror against Comicsgate campaigns in the form of flagging. What's isn't in dispute is which of the three that people are choosing to interpret it.

Simple Zack shared this passive aggressive jab on his community wall presumably in response to the comment Nerdrotic left on his page (thank you @Miniluv ) and TUG I guess as a bonus too. Very cool Richard, very cool. The target of this commentary does not seem to have registered to the remaining dregs of his audience though, who responded by sperging a lot of taking points about Amber Heard.

Finally, lost in all the noise over this was this lovely depiction of Jon del Arroz and Liam Gray in flagrante delicio as illustrated by Meyer's artist Matt Bahr. Jon, rather than being flattered by this depiction of his weiner in Liam's mouth, was instead disgusted by it and demanded the offending art be removed. Bahr protested by saying that #comicsgate was founded around being anti-cancel culture and pushing the envelope, to which del Arroz responded that the real way you be edgy and counterculture in today's world is to be virulently intolerant towards all forms of homosexuality followed by calling Meyer's artist 'anti-CG' as well as 'Vikkicampaign' for good measure. This went on for a while with both parties dropping private correspondence until Meyer, presumably noticing as part of his main occupation of lurking twitter for 12 hours a day, evidently contacted Bahr with orders to get off twitter (like he did), which resulted in the purging of the dispute between both parties.

It had to be the fingers INTERLINKED that pushed JDA over the edge. That's just too much.

Imagine crying about funny parody images of you (especially when you asked for them) and then rushing off to snitch on the big meanie mocking you. It's just jokes bro. If you can't handle it you should just get off the Internet.

Roight?
 
I'm going to take JDA's side on that image because it is fucking gay as shit. CG is already full of barely closeted homoeroticism - these are superhero fans after all. CG doesn't need to be MORE gay than it already is.

JDA getting upset at a parody that was drawn specifically to get under his skin is rich. Irony is completely lost on these idiots.

I'm not sure where this came from, but you need to stop getting bad info from Vikki simps, Dongs. Last email I sent to Meyer was 2/4/2021 where I asked him if he'd be up for coming on a stream and he declined. I've corresponded with him like 3 or 4 times ever and barely know the guy. Why would I bother him over something that's not his business?

Smart of Matt to purge it, though. It's a bad look for him.

Yeah, this seems obvious to me, and not controversial at all so I'm surprised there's a few people who are pushing about it (makes me think they're all gay). No one wants to look at people's homosexual fantasies. I can't believe Matt Bahr called me a homophobe twice because of this. I remember when faggots just wanted to be "left alone in the bedroom" now they demand you actively endorse their gross sex acts and join in.

Some brief Liam Grey info:

- I've heard from a couple different places that the address Liam Grey claims to have been doxed at was an address he used for the Xenotype fulfillment. I can't personally verify this, but it would be interesting if anyone has the original outer box that Xentype shipped in with the label information to verify this.

- Liam claimed in a recent tweet that his wife is a Veterinarian. LINK
I think that is highly unlikely. But it is somewhat possible that she is a "Veterinary technician". The email address of the first weird email from someone claiming to be Liam's wife to EVS had 'vetch" in the email address. That word is a plant and also a sometimes used abbreviation for "Veterinary technician".

Both JDA and Liam would better remember the mandra that makes RL different to the internet: "Talk Shit, Get Hit".
 

As an addendum to yesterday's total conjecture and baseless opinion-filled expose by yours truly regarding Eric July's impending "Rippaverse", I'd like to submit a video of his from yesterday that seemingly is meant as a response to specific individuals within CG such as @FROG and Jon Malin who are mentioned by name and who have apparently aired less than "HOLY SHIT I'M ALL IN I WANT TO BELIEVE MAD RESPECT TAKE MY MONEY" views, but which also touches on broader concerns regarding what exactly is going on here. A man with a dream on a mission who we should all swoon and swell with pride for? A delusional fool to be bullied back into his locker? A cynical money grabber? A loathsome grifter? The video is brief and thankfully to the point. It's calm and well-measured. However, it doesn't really get to why he won't shut up about it in general at this juncture and why he's talking out of both sides of his mouth re: the need to hype this thing now while apparently unwilling to come correct with any deets. Not even his influences.

Rippa claims the reason he's not showing it off or giving details is because his "business model" is such that customers need to be able to buy it the moment they encounter it. It's apparently that powerful, like a Juicero or an Apple product that speaks to your soul. However, it sounds a lot like this guy is or wants to court money from third party investors a la the alt-conservative media space where he comes from (in the wake of Fox News and The Drudge Report going center-left and Rush Limbaugh going room temperature, this has become quite a startup culture). In other words, the whole "my own money" and "I can afford", while perfectly reasonable "risk" as it pertains to publishing a single comic once or twice a year, is less plausible when he starts talking about building a studio with employees and programmers and warehouses and pushing out a book a month plus merch so it becomes "my money" with an asterisk. Thus, this entire somewhat strange GET HYPENNING could be him using us, the prospective customer base, as props in a sizzle reel shown to cigar-chomping Texas oil men donors who want to "take the culture back from the libtards" and are willing to sprinkle a $1M each across numerous different vetted and approved upstarts knowing that nearly all will fail but at least one will hit. A student of Glen Beck entering the genre entertainment / nerd culture space would fit that bill and might be advised in more that direction as opposed to slumming it with e-begging plebs in the crowdfunding space hoping to pull themselves up by their bootstraps over the better part of a decade or longer.

Again, it's pure tinfoil conjecture. Maybe he's not a disruption-minded interloper with an agenda. Maybe he's just naive and delusional. fwiw I enjoyed the copious low-key negging in the video, all you scum with "different aspirations" who can't take over DC. This kid's got moxie.

Quickly checking @TheCosmicWarrior 's twitter reveals a number of feuds.

Firstly with low level slum town CG contributor Billy Bacsko, in relation to a now obscure deleted artwork tweet to which I assume you already posted.

Then again with Rock N Roll Ninja artist Matt 6 Bahr, the originator of the image in question.

Picking a fight with @NasserRabadi13 cohost and fellow kiwi @Stupendus over some trivial matter that I'm sure most of us are unaware of.

Quote tweeting Critical Blast, a Comicsgate Youtube channel so far on the periphery that I'm sure no one here has ever heard of them.

@TheCosmicWarrior arguing with what appears to be an alt of Matt 6 Bahr about the parody image reported by @Mister Dongs above.

This thread has become rather uninteresting in the past few months, however with recent revelations it's picking up steam. Who knew Liam Gray wouldn't be the savior of comics, but the savior of this dying thread?

Ahh, pardon. Bahr accused me of this directly in DM and I thought you were copy pastaing that. Carry on.

Not sure where you got I'm fighting with Nasser. We're always on the same page. Stu has been going at me a few times over the last couple weeks. Not sure what his deal is.

How exactly did you come to this conclusion? Do you think Mister Dongs is omnipotent or are you just stupid? How exactly is he supposed to know what's going on in your DMs?

Jon seems to have lost the ability to read properly today.

Careful there. Any negativity towards Jon may get you labeled as a WasCampaignVikkiSimpLiamOzHennycuckInfiltrator anti-CGsjw..
