All I'm saying is that I wouldn't be going to fucking conventions if I had a quarter fucking million dollar book nearly two fucking years late. That's all I'm saying. I did not back this book because I saw this coming light years away.

In Cecil’s defense, he did tell the customers that they weren’t getting their book on the first day of the Cash Grab campaign. They just didn’t know he wasn‘t joking.

Shouldn't he be fulfilling orders or something? Dude seems to have an awful lot of free time for someone with financial obligations.

Cash Grab update: Apparently Cecil tore his achilles tendon on a cement staircase during a drunken pubcrawl at Anime Matsuri, as well as there being some undisclosed legal trouble (his sister/landlord is getting divorced and presumably liquidating the house he intended to fulfill from). Experts project that these setbacks will increase the projected date of Cash Grab's fulfillment by the man Frog described as 'shockingly competent if we only knew who he was'' from "never" to "never + 6 months".

Cecil should just pay frog to fulfill it and be done.
 
When it comes to Cecil, the mainstream CG crowd have been groomed throughout the years to not care about how late books are, or even if they're delivered at all for that matter. It's all about the "crowd fund" experience afterall...

But let's just say Cecil becomes such a pariah that he is eventually railroaded out of the movement. What would happen is he would find a nice, cushy little landing spot over there in what's left of the Fandom Menace griftsphere. He would make the rounds and be a regular on all the usual shows chucklefucking it up, occasionally taking shots at the hapless cucks over in CG dumb enough to give a worthless alcoholic a quarter of a million dollars..

I think Cecil should have been given the Adam Post treatment awhile ago.

I have thought about Post recently since Frog tried to get him on a stream a week or 2 ago(not sure which). I think Post is an idiot, but there have been others who have done much worse things to warrant ostracization from the inner circle and most of CG as a whole. Oh, and Post has fulfilled all his campaigns, its a shame that isnt an important part and qualification of being apart of the "movement". The more time passes, the more I think Post was done a touch dirty by the Frog-Father and his CG family.

Post is a nice enough guy but he obtained all the creative work and left the inference that this was his own idea and project. That's borderline fraudulent and violates the entire spirit of what CG is supposed to represent. So no, he wasn't done dirty. He was shady as fuck. On the other hand, he could probably do very well simply as a crowdfund manager.

Yeah he should have just come up with some crazy joke book, made a bunch of promises, collected a bunch of money and then not fulfilled anything all while making numerus excuses for why he couldnt fulfil. Oh and latch on to an E-Thot and creepily lust after said E-Thot on multiple hours long youtube streams and fly hundreds of miles to see her IRL at cons and on vacations instead of fulfilling said book. Or he could have over the course of months, turned the tables and started shitting on the fans of CG the same way the mainstream creators were doing. Things that were part of the reason CG supposedly came into being in the first place. Or he should have just befriended Vito, had him on his show and even talked about making a comic with him.

On a serious note, what Post did was shady as shit, but he didnt steal the IPs, he payed the creators for it. He misrepresented his role in his campaigns and that was messed up, but he did at least fulfil those campaigns. The campaigns in question looked like shit and the market should have taken care of it from the start. His first campaign only raised about $10,000, the second was about $34,000 and last only about $14,000. He only did better on his second campaign because Smiller talked shit about it on a stream. Then Frog used Smiller talking shit about it to get a bump in funding from the CG idiots faithful, resulting in Post making more money and Frog being able to "dunk" on Smiller(it is just one of the numerus examples of how retarded a lot of the CG faithful are).

Im not saying Post should be welcomed back with open arms and that he didnt do anything wrong. Im saying that in hindsight, I think Post might have been treated a touch too harshly when compared to other things that happened later. Things like Cecil and Cashgrab, Zack who got multiple chances from the CG faithful even after he kept shitting on them(until he shit on Frog, then he was cooked) or @TheCosmicWarrior trying to court Vito. I do agree that Post should manage campaigns, he never seemed shy about putting in the work when it came to promoting his campaigns.

Yeah like I said, already, not a fan of Cecil's behavior. At all.

i think the fact that he actually delivered on his on his books makes him a tad more palatable than Cecil. Just a tad.

@TheCosmicWarrior has Vito on his show regularly and he did promote his upcoming book even though JDA’s chat pretty much despises the dude so, yeah there’s that…

The first thing noticeable in the video is the incredibly poor audio quality coming from Anna TSWG's phone.

No you're right, it's just that "I don't want rigid leftist ideologues having a stranglehold on this thing I'm a fan of" and "all comics should be apolitical so they can appeal to everyone" are two radically different concepts when taken to their logical conclusions. It doesn't help that both statements were often thrown around hand-in-hand by the same people back in early CG.

The "no politics" line is such an unformed normie take. The problem isn't politics, it's extremists making garbage. I think it comes from the normie belief that if they reject ALL politics, they are somehow being fair, which is just the grade-school thinking I would expect from comic nerds. A truly nuanced Boogie-level take.

Cecil is truth in advertising. The people who backed his book got what they were promised - a clown stealing their money - and I think we should consider his campaign officially fulfilled.
 
I can believe she's autistic.

Which one is the blond one?Is that other one cosplaying as Renfamous?
 
Speaking of Cecil...

I might catch shit from some corners for daring to even think this, but... I gotta be honest...

This Warcampaign video ain't half bad:



I've always been a sucker for Adagio in G Minor, but it probably has more to do with the fact Ro and Pan ain't exactly wrong here either.

Fuck you Cecil for making me say something nice about Ro and Pan.

In fairness to the rest of CG, they seem to want nothing to do with him either. Vito seems to be a uniquely JDA retardation. I don't get it either.
 
Tim Lim and Nerkish both warned us all.

If you believe in any way you have been scammed by Cecil and want to get revenge you can find him any time at

I will never understand how the people who attend these things maintain any self respect whatsoever. It's just baffling to me. I could kinda get it if these were gold-medal olympians or nobel prize winners you could meet and talk to but none of these people have accomplished anything in their lives. Its embarrassing.
