Two videos back-to-back about the same damn thing. This must be the beginning of the excuses campaign. He either won't deliver or he didn't make anywhere near what was advertised and this is the cover.

I despise his smug soy visage thumbnails.

Deliver the fucking product you promised & read the terms & conditions first!

negative. This is standard SJW nonsense. They can act like shitheads for as long as they want, and then turn it into victim status ('scared') because victim status is the highest status he can achieve. There were no threats, as far as I can tell. He showed up at his public booth at comic con.

Possibly July is a grifter to end all grifters OR some commissar of goodthinkfulness in the employ of PayPal is in fact fucking with his campaign.

The frustrating thing is that I can see either case as being correct at this point. The whole crowdfunding of comics business reeks of scuminess (both inside and outside CG), but some of the people Big Tech employs -- and what they're allowed to do -- just takes my breath away.

How could somebody be fucking with his campaign? They're holding the funds of a presale until product is shipped or delivered. This is standard for them. Why does July expect or deserve special treatment?

This problem shouldn't even be worthy of public complaint. Paypal sales only account for 1/3 of his claimed total sales so far so if the numbers are correct he should have way more than enough money available to do the second printing needed to fulfill it all.

When PayPal has a history of fucking with people and companies like this seem to apply their TOS randomly at best and maliciously at worst, I can see getting pissed off at them and assuming the worst, especially if they've screwed around with you previously. Lessons about them should have been learned ages ago and everyone should be prepared for this kind of thing rather than being blindsided by it.

That said, this tantrum over it is equally overblown and is not the good look he seems to think it is. As you pointed out, they straight up say "We can fuck with your money if we feel like it and here's a way we justified it" so, yes, he should stop acting surprised. If he felt the need to make a statement at all it should have been "This happened, I have a legal team ensuring that everything will be fine and the funds will be released properly pertaining to their TOS" instead of whatever this shit show he's starting up is. Quietly resolve the issue, go off on them AFTER you have the money and they can't dig through their TOS to find further ways to fuck with you, and then stop using them.

There's a saying "Don't shit where you eat" - He may not be planning to use PayPal again, but he should at least finish his meal, as it were, before flipping the table and storming out.

This. He's not being honest with his fanboys about why he's in this current mess to begin with (as well as not doing the research beforehand since he's still a bit of a virgin with this whole Paypal thing).

And right on cue, black youtubers are trying to spin this into an 'us vs them' narrative.

If you don't complain then you don't get lawsuit donations and fuck paypal superchats.
 
Funny it is "identity politics bad" until the bank account is involved. Or was it always just the gays Eric July hated not black power identitarians? Anyway this PAYPAL posturing is all just an exercise in training his paypig narc fans. They give him the money direct from now on and don't go expecting a timeframe for delivery or refunds without being put on blast. Report all haters and express your discontent with Rippaverse skeptics by charging credit card to buy Rippaverse products.

Chuck has work on that site but it was created by Theodore "Teddy" Beale / Vox Day / Vox Popoli / Teddy Spaghetti - pretentious self-imporant Ultra-Right Science Fiction writer and publisher So this is just a goddamn shill thread now for promoting your garbage?

And? I've previously documented that as well as pointing out that Rob Liefeld has one; drink and draw; and others. What is your purpose? I hope it's not to simply shill his crap...

You should chill out there, little fella.
 
Grifter runs away with money and spins it into a ''woe is me'' circus. Who could have seen this coming? Donate more to him, to own the libs and those ebul corporations.
 
I don't understand how people keep falling for the same scams.
Rippa and his 3 million dollar comicbook is going to change the Marvel/DC monopoly. Rippa who has never written a comic before and has no experience running a comicbook company is going to be the answer to defeat the Woke.

Oh oops! Banned from paypal.

Give me more money for my lawsuit against paypal!!
