It may registered to him that people only care about JB.
It would be closer to the truth, but still kind of inaccurate. It's not that people only want him to stick to Jawbreakers. People obviously liked Impossible Stars and the Iron Sights books enough to support them to the tune of almost a quarter of a million dollars. People are willing to buy his work but he's stepped on his own dick by spending two years promoting shit nobody wants instead of fulfilling his late campaigns. That's to say nothing of his weird shifts in attitude about everything from customer service to using comics as a personal soapbox for whatever social/political bugaboo a writer has up his ass. Dropping the suit, deleting his old YT content, and talking to his backers like they're assholes have done more to harm his business than just not doing Jawbreakers books. Hell, Knife-Hand is a Jawbreakers book and that didn't get six figures. He's significantly damaged his brand and people are kind of tired of him.
Say what you will about Ethan, but he will absolutely help out his friends when they need it. EVS is largely responsible for making Zack a relatively wealthy man and Ethan has acknowledged Zack's role in showing him the crowdfunding ropes, so he doesn't mind helping him. The problem is that it became sort of a one way street. He wants Ethan's help but won't come on the show, even for a short segment. He agrees to come on and then he bails, which is rather awkward after your appearance has been announced more than once. He's done everything to embarrass Ethan short of publicly disavowing him (and CG as a whole). I'm fully convinced the only reason it hasn't happened yet is because Zack knows it would hurt his business so badly he'd probably never recover.

I think YBZ thinks that if he can collect five figures without any marketing, or six figures livestreaming and talking to people, five figures is a good deal. For all he continues to make videos, YBZ only talks about things in places people can't reply or contradict him. He needs a safe space, and EVS' channel is too risky. Who knows what people will say to/about him?
I think you're right about all of the above except I don't think the whole 'civilians' thing is real except in YBZ's head. It's his internal excuse as to why he can't form and maintain relationships, and a way to excuse that deep character flaw and his actions that come from it that he knows is stupid but he can't resist. Plenty of marines are capable of forming friendships and relationships with non-military people - its YBZ who can't.
Did Doomcock do something especially egregious or is he just shunned now for his dubiously-sourced "scoops" never coming true?Happened to tune into the Friday grift show and happened to catch the right time that they bring up MechaRandom. I am too lazy to clip it out sorry, but it starts at 2:26:45 and goes till about 2:29:00.
They literally refuse to even say her name lol. Also, they claim 'they want to associate her with us, and we were never associated.' Really, that's a very interesting statement, considering all of you were definitely associated until you decided you weren't. For example, this video from a few years ago:Alex Jones RETURNS! - Friday Night Tights #200!

Also in that video a Doomcock shoutout, another guy who has been unpersoned. Lets not forget Nerdrotic used to do a show with Doomcock every week (The Inquisition)
Yeah, I have no doubt it's something Zack uses as a shield for his own retarded behavior towards others. IIRC, he read an interview with Larry Hama in which Hama related that as a combat vet he found civilian friendships lacking when compared to the friendships he had with men who he'd been to combat with since those men put their lives on the line for him.
I think it was Ryan Kinnel that called out Doomcock for his Years long prophecy of Kathleen Kennedy getting fired never coming true.
They technically do have a thread, just rarely ever gets posted to. And the OP needs to be completely redone.
Yea, I am not defending doomcock, mecha, Jessi Milestone, or any of those other clowns that got unpersoned. Mecha especially, total psycho that was visible even when she first appeared. Its just funny primarily because quite a few of these people are very similar. As much as Comicsgate is a clown show as well full of near-cows, at least they technically produce something (comics), even if they are late and don't come out for years. GnG and the FNT crew produce nothing at all, as stated many times they are the archetypical consoomer.

He has disavowed CG as a whole countless times. But I do get the impression he is on more of a friendly roasting relationship with EVS (with some annoyance on both sides) rather than a rift.
I would argue that CG doesn't even exist any more. What's left of it besides "Friends, Former Friends and A-logs of EVS"?
@FROG is so fat two internet movements revolve around him
The Zack/CG/Ethan thing is really strange to me.
The Kenobi thing pretty much exemplifies what TFM has become. I had intentionally avoided all the spoiler talk, woke worries and reviews - luckily none of that shit even appears in my recommendeds any more. Last week watched the first three episodes in a single sitting and thought it was pretty good all things considered. Not perfect but serviceable. Then I checked Youtube and was taken aback by the hyperbolic disaster reviews from the usual suspects. It's not that bad and its only the thrid episode for crying out loud. The black chick over-acts and isn't very good overall but that isn't so much a diversity-hire thing as much as a casting swing-and-miss.
