Truth be told, I think it's very nice that Frog gives other creators a leg up. I suspect Frog is a mostly kind person. I just think maybe he should be a bit more discriminating from here on out, and be careful NOT to do it to spite people. It would give his endorsements more an air of legitimacy.
As fun as it is to give Frog shit over misplaced support, like rallying his fanbase to support Adam Post and his questionable "business model" of incompetently printing free webcomics to be sold to Frog's audience at $25 a pop (and it is fun), even the disastrous attempts at Comicsgate philanthropy puts him a step above those who achieved similar success off -gate movements that, when it was time to put actions behind their words, proved to be completely self serving. It's a known risk one runs when putting one's own reputation behind small, unestablished creators. What you're saying is good advice, but it's advice he's already been slowly implementing for the past year with the Comicsgate Kings assemblage of boomer industry vets that, if nothing else, have shown that they can make comics (and also Dan Fraga).
Speaking of sponsorship:
Lightbringer, the Iron Liz/Vic King/DarkGift co-op of ChannelAwesome alumni
Linkara's infamously bad
webcomic, just had a 40 minute feature on Dick Masterson's show. Between this and two dedicated streams from both Nick Rekeita and
Frog spotlighting the project, the last time I've seen all three come together to promote something was when Doug TenNapel was touring for
Bigfoot Bill in 2019. That a
Vic King project would be the next comic to receive such a bump is something I don't think anyone expected.
Whether it will reach the humble $5000 crowdfunding goal despite this in many ways unprecedented effort for a small-time CG project though is anyone's guess.
Finally, in other good news:

Faced with
@A nameless trool's framing of the conflict over
Perch (if such a thing even exists) with a thesis of "keeping it about the comics" on one side and "retard CG drama" criticism as its antithesis, Hegel's model of dialectical change proved itself once again as Perch achieved
true synthesis of these dipolar opposites, taking some time to angrily ree
exclusively at everyone he feels is giving him crap at the moment. Not quite 'drama free', not quite going full Liamstream, but somewhere in the middle. As is the Perch Comics way.
Put on blast (all unnamed except for Warren Ellis) are individuals in his comments section posting things he doesn't like, the Marvel editors in his DMs trying to police his comment section, Warren Ellis defenders, Frog for trying to efap a Perch video to dunk on how boring it was only to be foiled when co-panelists Cecil, Malin and Anna were too bored watching Perch to follow along with what he was saying, threatening to use his self-appointed "neutral" position to pee pee on Frog like Witten on a livestream (which sounds like the disingenuous framing of personal opinions and arguments as dialectic conclusions but hey
), a shout out to Simple Zack and, finally a call for me to fuck off and stop my spreading of retard mind virus; he's just a guy making videos in his car here and he'd really appreciate it if I got off his ass. Fair enough Perch, fair enough.
