TBF William Moulton Marston was in fact a fucking weirdo. To the point he's probably the prototype of the feminist male/abuser of woman trope so common today.
That was kind of impressive, but if they're only collecting 22k I'm not sure how they're making anything above minimum wage, at best.
I'm just being a dick. Being more jaded with comics and Comicsgate in particular than most, the bar is set so low in my eyes that simply delivering what was promised in a timely manner is a big victory in of itself. The goal was to produce "good comics" that could compete with the mainstream and so prevent creators from being blacklisted; "good" is ultimately subjective, but producing a comic is not. The people who backed the giant fetish comic got what they wanted, the people left waiting for years for what they paid for can't really say the same. You find the concept of the comic is ridiculous. I find your taunting Frog about it on KiwiFarms resulting in him endorsing a comic book that actually fulfilled in under six months for what feels like the first time ever even more ridiculous. Damegang 2 or even Damegang 3 might be in backers' sweaty, hairy palms before we see Jon Malin's Godlike or Art Thibert's Black and White 2.
This always struck me as something that's been around since the beginning of Comicsgate; that it was composed of, in part, a large number of staunch moral conservatives but also a great number of middle aged men who remember things like the Marvel Swimsuit Specials and other such things from the 90s, who rail how cheesecake specialist artists like Frank Cho and J Scott Campbell are now branded as "problematic" by da SJWs. Both found the current state of the comic industry very objectionable and found common ground on that, at least for a time.
Now to me the decline of cheesecake comic art, or "ass ass titty" as Dan Fraga calls it, directly correlates with the ubiquity of free porn on the internet, drawn or otherwise. The days of paying top dollar to hold a few well placed circles on a piece of paper representing some superheroine tits in a string bikini are over. Unless of course, that is your fetish. As the years have gone on by, with Frog favoring content that leans towards his own shock jock predilections, the boring moral conservatives have moved on and left the weird coomer fetishist holdouts to try and fill both roles with limited success. But as long as this target demo exists, things like Shane Davis' variant cover of some chick's ass, Jon Malin's $25 Visions consisting of swimsuit pin-ups of various CG characters and, of course, DAMEGANG will always have a receptive audience.
Which leads us to, inevitably, the subject of Dan Plegel or "BoobDan" as he normally goes by, and his debut Comicsgate crowdfund, The Goblin Girl, currently out now.
Now, BoobDan's breast fetish comic is delivered in a way that makes previous efforts like Pirate Queen and Damegang looks subtle and nuanced in comparison, and I'd argue is the ongoing logical conclusion. What's next from here? Manning, will you throw the gauntlet down on The Goblin Girl next? In conclusion, I would like to leave the following thoughts by Comicsgate "#Crackpack" hypeman Darren Waggoner, aka "DWAGG" these days:

If your take of that was that goblins were being fetishized and not breasts I don't know what to tell you man, but if you want a closer look I did link the campaign in the post. In any case, the superhero genre and accusations of fetish material have gone hand in hand since the days of Frederick Wertham in 1952 showing Congress panels of Wonder Woman tying up and spanking her defeated enemies. Hell, in what is regularly considered one of the most impactful comics of the past 50 years, Watchmen, has a whole plotline where the protagonist Nite Owl can only achieve an erection when he accepts his superhero fetish. And this bit of commentary on the genre was put out there in 1986.
Okay, what about about Arachna, a Comicsgate title that launched in February and has also fulfilled without issue within 9 months of launch? (lmfao) Would you accept this as an example of catering to a superhero fetish?
Nasser is young, no wife, no kids, lives with parents, is probably autistic and goes into fights as a publicity stunt to get attention to his projects.
Dude, the CG Jesus himself has put his dickie in so many ethnic women he has three brown kids from different mothers. You are talking anti-SJW edgelords, not good God Fearing Christian conservatives here. And anti-SJWs are not necessarily republicans, more likely there are 85% of the general population that has yet to catch on.
Yeah, people ask me how I do it quick. The part of the answer is I have no wife or kids. I have a part time job and live at home. It's a lot easier with all my spare time. Plus since I'm not drawing it, I only have to do the promotion, instead of drawing AND promotion.
Commonality? Yes. Per the dictionary definition. Not mine.
If that's true, I can't help but point out this autism is of immense benefit to the customer. We should probably be kinder to autism in the context of CG. Maybe kinder to Nasser himself. It seems preferable to whatever malady or issue is affecting most other CG branded creators.
My artist for Stardust and Trixie has only ever been on 2 streams total. Vic didn't have a channel during Asyl. Jason's streams were all of him drawing Secret Comics Presents. My artist for Creepsters isn't on YouTube at all (Dillard is drawing the Creepsters ashcan and is on YouTube but I wouldn't say that much).
I think he may have found enough people who are in the rendering > deadlines camp that he's just leaning into it at this point.
You are not necessarily wrong, but I think the issue here was that having gigantic women with normal sized men shoved up their asses caters to a very peculiar and particular demographic. You look at that guy's artwork and you begin to realize he has a very particular "taste." Fetish, if you will. There's the blatant macrophilla, but also hints of vore.
All true, but I think Richard either has ADHD, "super autism," or both.
It's shapely women fighting in one piece swimwear. I saw shit like that all the time in Marvel comics in the 90s. Only major distinction seems to be that Lim is a weeb and integrated that aesthetic.
I get the impression YBZ is pretty neurotypical or functioning with ADHD.
The "Comicsgate Kings" show looks to be doing some good as, while serving mostly an oratorical boot camp for a bunch of comic book artists, at least seems to be serving the purpose of re-establishing a connection between the state of mainstream comics and Comicsgate. Railing on against da SJWs is hardly scintillating fare for myself, but if CG streamers are ceding the "disaffected with mainstream comics" audience to more generic reactionary outrage peddlers like the Friday Night Tights bunch and Yellowflash, what and where exactly does that leave Comicsgate? And I can't deny that the more normal content and behavior is getting people who otherwise avoided Frog's circle like Aaron Lopresti (who is certainly finding his voice as an armchair crank), Gabe Eltaeb and Mike Baron (who's inclusion has certainly earned a lot of favor with otherwise disaffected people). Finally, at the very least Frog isn't more interested watching the Poz Show then participating in Comicsgate Kings.
"Not cool d00d, you just ruined this poor girls life, you fuck. What sick pervert records this kind of degeneracy...
For reals?
Yeah, that seems like a case of being there just because everybody else is. But hey, Anna is allowed to have an interest in current events too. So maybe that's too harsh.
When she's not hammered.
