How much seething has JDA done about this?
Click to expand...
My guess is not much. JDA is probably as happy as I am with the possible Leem return to CG or just outside of CG because 1) He just plain loves drama trolling exceptional people and drama trolling Leem has definitely given him the most milk and 2) The last time he fucked around with Leem, JDA made more money from fucking with him and JDA's audience grew more afterwards. Those who have been around here the past year or 2 know I think JDA is a pretty shit human being but, (and I hate to admit this)his drama trolling of Leem was pretty damn funny. I personally think the JDA vs Leem on TUG's channel is one of the funnier things to ever come out of CG(hell I still rewatch it every so often).

Unwatchable is worse than unreadable, I can skim your unreadable nonsense but CG slum streams are pure pain and it is you white knighting for their honor.

Can confirm. The slums can be fun, but is generally a total shit-show. We're all deeply retarded, deeply troubled and retarded. Don't let any one tell you otherwise!

Also looks like Liam is back in the fold for a redemption arc as long as that lasts.
https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/dinoking-edge-of-extinction#/ Liam's DinoKing picked up 17 backers from this stream.

It will last as long as it can. Liam will be in the good graces of EVS until he causes the Froglord measurable damage. Then EVS will return to trolling the orange koaler instead of using him as his court jester.

I'm excited to watch this bizarre arc. I'm not sure CG can get worse, but as I've learned from being alive this long: never say never -- the universe will not hesitate to make a liar of you.

Pretty cool seeing July getting the "rub" from Mark Millar.
Click to expand...
The only explanation for me is that Millar wants a piece of the Rippaverse pie. I noticed in his tweet its praise, but elusive on any particular point on the book itself.

I read ISOM #1 getting it on the $5 pull up deal.
It's boring and unremarkable. Nothing in the art stands out. Fight scenes don't make sense. isom2.PNG
(Nice Stretch idiot)

Isom is barely developed as a character. He doesn't like disrespect and he quit his job (lol). Credit for not revealing his eventual electricity based powers I guess.

The world building which some hailed as a feature is basically throwing a new character into the mix at whatever ADHD point. Isom Man gets thrown out of a building and hits a blonde woman who he immediately starts fighting with. Introduction of this character wasn't foreshadowed or set up, Isom man just literally flies out of a fight looney tunes style and immediately starts fighting a white woman. AlphaCore shows up also. They are introduced in the book and dropped immediately.

Rippa is riding a wave of popularity and the fans got exactly what they want. Worst part of the book by far is the Dialogue. You can tell he never said what he wrote out loud.

(Page is immediately boring)

It's some sort of communal madness infecting Rippaverse fans. So desperate for "Anti-Woke" that it is literally all it took to propel the book to $3.7 Million dollars worth of success. With the latest episode of South Park featuring the "Panderstone" Rippa should bounce back from the million dollar drop on issue two.
This audience wants other people to have opinions for them. Rippa and South Park has them covered all the way to the bank.

Here is one more piece of evidence there's some sort of mental illness in the community. Why would you draw this? Who is letting the Energy Drink addicted British fat guy get away with calling himself a "Silverback" ?

Mark Millar sold his Millarworld publishing line for $40 million years ago; he doesn't need a page rate from Eric July lol. The reason he's shouting out the Rippaverse is more along the lines of that he can and knows the SJWs in comics can't do anything to him.

Not that it matters. Sort of like Todd MacFarlane, Millar's 'legendary' status stems far more from his personal business success in comics of all things than his skill as a writer. Getting Chuck Dixon and Mike Baron actually on board is far more legitimizing than a tweet from Mark Millar imo. Narwhal gets shout outs from Mark Millar regularly. Narwhal. Dan Didio, a man who was President of DC Comics until a few years ago, agreed to interviews from JDA and even Nerdette's top chat janny and simp Robert Willing.

I guess the difference in reaction is the deepset worship of mainstream celebrity and desire for legitimacy from an establishment (that they claim is dying) that is held by FNT and Eric July. Comicsgate by contrast is the extreme opposite of this and exists in a weird hugbox where if you don't have clout in the CG ecosystem then it doesn't really matter how many Eisners you've won or comics you've made and sold. Sort of like the scene in mainstream comics and how they get by by pretending manga doesn't exist. Without intercession by Frog, Mark Millar would be expected to crawl his way up from the Stankstream, livestreaming from his castle in Scotland alcohol-fueled IBS with Ryzie and TJ until, if he's lucky, he gets the chance to earn his bones for a few years as Camel Moon's cohost and from there springboard himself onto a spot on Jon Malin's "Post Kangz" panel show where a now wetbrained Millar could then shuck and jive in front of an audience in the hopes of building a following and selling a few hundred bucks worth of comics that way.

Well, Frog is doing a eflap stream on HvB. Making the point that Vito and Dick are doing the same thing with Rippaverse as HvB does with Batwoman and whatever else. Mining content, making fun of it to grift on YouTube. HvB of all of Nerd's minions definitely has the most upside as a lowcow after the Starfield meltdown.

Ah, this would explain why crazy AZ is going extra hard on the Eric July dickriding.

They've always been friendly and Az despises both Vito and EVS. The only real new development in the group dynamics is Rekieta becoming a Rippaverse detractor (Az, Sargon and Rekieta used to stream together).

I missed the part where FNT fans are pissing on people's graves.

They're E-grifters who grift together sometimes

He despises Frog because he called Az a loser (True).

You don't address the substance, that Az is a grifter going for culture warz off Batlesbo while Vitto and Dax are trying to create e-drama.

They're both grifters, and it's worth pointing out July has fed Dax and Vitto's trolling by responding to it.

Racket's was on those FNT channels. So was Frog. So was allot of people. It's shocking, when FNT is so cliquish.

It makes the calculus of how does this profit me? Well, if Bottles has exiled you from the Fandom Grifter sphere you default to the opposite end, don't you?

That doesn't have anything to do with az being a worthless fat cunt.

I'm glad you had the revelation in 2023 that they're all grifters.
Proud of you, buddy.

While you skim over the IRL "visits", just like EVS does.🤔

True, but why did he say that now? His motive is Frog insulted him while high. He's a petty, amoral grifter.

No idea. I don't follow comics or much of what these people are up to. I had his Robocop playthrough on for background noise. I think he was responding to a super chat or something. Figured I'd drop what I heard here.

Are you a South Park Canadian?

I don't know how that's relevant to Frog (hasn't done that) and Az.

I get it, Team Sports. The forum hates Dax and Rackets, so now that Frog is on their side their are people who view this as some good guys bad guys shit.

I'm saying fuck that, I can laugh at both equally stupid camps.

Az is a fatter version of Frog. Well Frog has actual talent at something...unlike Az....

No, I was pointing out this isn't some high moral stance. Az is hurt because many superchats ago, Frog called him a loser while high on a stream. And Az has been hurting like a bitch ever since.

I forgot the fat-ass coomer was friends with the alcoholic coomer, maybe because for once in his life, he's pussyfooting around instead of opening his fat fucking mouth. It's confusing to keep up with all of this interwoven high-school girl "I'm friends with Stacey, but not her bitch friend Erika" bullshit. It puts it into perspective how all these fucks are making some pedantic argument that their "friend" is a "real-one" that's a cool bro that's got their back, while turning their back around to whine about some other dumbass whose friends with said real-one, is getting too retarded to decipher and understand. They need to sort out who is and isn't part of their gay orgy before they start dick-riding each other to climax.
