#Comicsgate - The Culture Wars Hit The Funny Books!

[Captain Manning]

Is JDA Catholic?

Yes. So was Testefy. Technically, so am I.

It's only fair after all those pedophiles promoted Jesus' book.

Okay, Just Some Guy.

@COMMI3 MARK may be a smartass, but he's on to something here. When I was a kid, my parents yanked me out of Church because of all the pedo shit that started to be exposed in the late 80s/early 90s. Overall, that scandal badly affected Church attendance, Church income, and overall the reputation of the Church. For decades. It's a point even the Church concedes.

If JDA knows all that as well as I do, it seems bizarre he'd want to throw in with Vito. Not all attention is good attention.

Just Some Guy has said that someone close to him was molested as a child. I believe by a priest.
And that somebody was a boy.
(Could be himself? Maybe but probably not)

This is why he gets so touchy about pedophilia stuff.

And, being the argumentative asshole that TFG/CG attracts he won't back down when conservatives call all gay men pedophiles.

 

[TheCosmicWarrior]

That's the kind of come back that you would expect from a top tier writer.

It's a pretty savage takedown, tbh.

 

[Milwaukee Macho Man]

Zack said he only wanted to do comics for like 5 years, and lo and behold, he only did it for like 5 years.

To say it's cause of tik tok or whatever is so fucking pathetic though. He might as well ditch the channel while he's at it.

 

[MoffAlbert]

Did Zack just crash into slumber because his topical pet project books didn't make enough money?

 

[Mister Dongs]

At a time when literally everyone with a brain and who is able to is fleeing New York City Zack decides that place is where his future is.

I'm sure this move to New York life change will definitely stick and not just be a 2-3 year phase Meyer will dabble in until he's no longer able to sustain motivation and quit, like he has everything else so far in his life. Can a guy who couldn't handle managing a youtube channel consisting of sperging at tweets by Vita Ayala hack it in NYC? Why did he announce the end of his channel before figuring out how he's going to sell the comics he's already paying to be made out of pocket? And how in demand are the skills of a supposed Cisco Certified Internet Engineer who doesn't know how to install an adblock on his browser anyway? These and many other interesting questions are going to be answered as we transition from the Simple Zack to the Punished Richard story arc.

Remember all the fun CG had at SMiller's expense when word leaked out that his campaign money was seized due to back taxes or whatever and he had to borrow from friends to actually fulfill that book? I wonder if something similar happened to the Cash Grab money. How do you blow a quarter-million dollars in a year?

From what I've been able to gather, Cecil had no backup plan when Dynamite Comics terminated their original plans to publish Cash Grab on his behalf when Mark Waid, Gail Simone and other employees Comicsgate has issue with gave them an ultimatum. This seems to have been a "later" problem in Cecil's mind, but then Donal finished drawing the comic and the colorist finished as well at around March of last year. At this point Cecil evidently felt more comfortable flying out to get friendzoned in person by low-grade egirls like Witten and Anna than deal with the problems on his plate; only when Cecil felt his position as Frog's jester being threatened by random Etsies does he seems to have been finally motivated to action, finally closing out Cash Grab by drunkenly screaming about Wiggle Wiggle for hours.

Unfortunately, the problems for Cash Grab don't end there, as Cecil failed to procure a fulfillment service over the past year and will be (according to the latest episodes of the JACK show) managing the ~4500 orders himself. Let's say it takes a minute to bag, board and place a single copy of Cash Grab.. I estimate Cecil, being unused to any form of productive work as a middle aged trust fund kid, will be able to get through a maximum of bagging and boarding ~20-30 of these before being unable to continue for the rest of the day before frittering the rest of his time texting Anna TSWG or whatever it is he does. Working at a modest 3 out of 7 days work week (optimistic, I know), Cecil will still need another 347 days to get the 4427 orders of Cash Grab ready for shipment and we may be looking at (ideally) an August 2023 completion date.

So do I. So do a lot of other people. I've ended friendships and relationships over this shit. I think being a pedo is the worst thing in the world anybody can be.

What bugs me is the reasons why some people make hay over pedos. It should be because pedos are a blight on society. Poulter is anti-CG, so it's open season to hammer him on the Lamont shit. Right response, but for the wrong reasons. Vito toes the line on CG (albeit badly) and kisses JDA's ass on FROG's show, so JDA can just ignore the obvious issues with Vito.

The popular refrain here seems to be that JDA does things for attention. He undoubtedly does. He seems to even admit it. The thing is, I always felt it was in furtherance of attention that would get him sales, or some sort of other net positive. That, to me, is what distinguishes this Vito shit from almost everything that came before. I think it's gonna backfire badly in this instance.

It's a pretty savage takedown, tbh.

Nah.

For one thing, Mark's was actually funny, and there's a lesson you should learn from it but for some reason won't.

 

[Absurdity]

Jon is pretty savage at lowering the talent level though.

It's a gay sonichu comic author self insert BS typical of PLing web comics like those about pizza cuckolding. If you insert yourself as a comic character or use real people you're making a mistake.

Cecil is too stupid to manage 4k+ orders how much do you want to bet he blames media mail at some point?

Whatever happened to Malin's CG fulfillment company? Wasn't that supposed to exist for this specific reason? As I remember Malin's co would just charge the creator the shipping fee and do everything else.

Didn't he claim that he was making comics for life because he'd been so villified on Twitter him getting a normal job was out of the question? A prospective employer would Google his name and that would be that. I swear I remember hearing him claim that, mostly because it didn't make a lot of sense to me. Maybe I'm wrong.

TL: DW
Zack watched some tik tok and the evil Chinese brainwashed him to quit comics and plans to return to New York and get a tech job.
Still will make youtube videos and publish books but will hire somebody to do this for him.
@NasserRabadi13 this is your opportunity to pounce and form the voltron of benevolent CG autism along with Zack and Narwal.

Which makes sense with Zack, he has been losing his mind while exiled in Bordertown

I couldn't even finish watching the video. Watching Tik Tok to learn about Maslow? Lost interest in his content months ago, hadn't realized it had degenerated (at least this far) into this incoherent slop. Dude certainly seems to still have a coterie of simps in his comment section, though. Must give him that.

I seriously doubt his IT credentials after watching that latest video. During the video he shows his web browser on-screen to a CompTIA Security+ training site where it shows he's logged a full three hours of coursework. Any CCNE would be able to pass the Security+ exam blind, first-try. It's been close to 15 years since I took it and I went in blind. It was a multiple-choice vocabulary test. Security+ (and everything else CompTIA) is an f'ing joke meant for high-schoolers. It's possible they tightened up the standards because it was seen as such a joke for so long but still won't be anything like the Cisco certs that people claim he has.

People say Simple Zack has a CCIE? HAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAA

AAAAAAHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA

Yeah, that's bullshit.

No idea. Malin never gave any details beyond a gmail address, which I guess since this wasn't a service to the public is his right. Maybe Malin did the numbers and concluded it wasn't a profitable use of time. Maybe the person he was going to have actually do the job got something better to do or was picked up by ICE or whatever.

Dude certainly seems to still have a coterie of simps in his comment section, though. Must give him that.

Speaking of, I got the chance to talk to Meyer's all-time biggest simp, Paypiggons, earlier today via his wife's alt he uses. I wanted to know how he felt about Meyer's retirement after the tens of thousands of dollars of GFM donations he gave as well as purchasing tons of original art for da "Comicsgate Museum" .

This does lend credence to @ProblematicUser420 's theory that this was always Meyer's "plan" and that him deciding to move across the country because of TikTok was merely a dumb story concocted by an idiot.
Still, as you can see, me and paypiggons now have common ground in finding that Zack is a faggot
and with that, the healing can begin

No kidding. He's supposedly moving to New York City to work in IT and while he's announcing this he has a CompTIA Security+ training site open in his browser. How old is he again? Imagine being entry-level at that age, in NYC.

It's hard to believe he's actually going to step away, but it's really for the best if he follows through. Hopefully it starts another trend.

I agree, but what isn't bullshit is Zack's pre-CG work history as an "internet security engineer" for Paypal (and a number of other NY firms) when he was doxed, which I always found boggling because of his clear lack of knowledge of consumer level IT.

At this point I don't know what to believe. Richard stated that he would only do it for like 5 years, but at the same time I kind of think he was delusional enough to think he could get into the "mainstream" between Expendables: Go To Hell and his weird plans for public domain characters. I honestly think something happened with Expendables: Go to Hell that started this whole thing. I think he realized pretty quick he was going to make jack shit off of it between Stallone, Dillon and Graham and it probably made him realize how pointless the whole endeavor was which is why everything seemed to shift there. He did absolutely no marketing for it, and then he starts pushing these weird ripped from the headlines cheap cash grabs, and ends up settling the lawsuit all within like 10 months. Isn't that also when he finally learned public domain didn't work the way he thought it did?

It's a weird situation because the idea of him pushing these low effort books and going completely 180 on his views to get his fanbase to abandon him before he decides to just quit due to a tiktok is both stupid enough for him to do but also feels like way too much fucking effort for him to do.

(Or maybe all this is just to get out of that nice dinner he said he'd take EVS and his family out for one day.)

My guess is he pulled cables and plugged shit in where he was told to. Ten years ago "internet security engineer" meant whatever you wanted it to mean.

A lot of IT jobs sound super complex and hyper-impressive because the word "engineer" is slapped on to them. He could have been resetting passwords for morons for all we know.
