It's just standard operating procedure for dramacow youtubers.
I love a good Frog "My channel is under attack" stream. It's when he does his best rewriting of history and pulling the whole "I didn't like him to start with, but didn't want drama" work.
Those tweets van Sciver did the other day about running comics like a business left me completely nonplussed. I'd say I was amused, but I was probably more confused, considering who was saying this.
..so.. that didn't happen
There is a whole industry of Eric July ball washer channels also. Like RenownedZ3r0 and Lawrence "LG" Gilmer plus turbo sped Luke Korolowicz Art. Channels like Drunken Peasants, Hannibal & Monty, and Geek Getaway are covering these guys as lolcows and they are convincing. It would be some kind of tard shielding to deny it just because they are pro-Eric. Weeb wars had it's ISWV cows along with the Kick Vic ones after all and this is no different.
I have seen anti-Eric July chatter on twitter from some Warcampaign people but they are so irrelevant at this point. I think if they were full sped like 2019 WC Rippa Goalposts would be clipping them, and Eric July would be making vague comments about how they are fruity weirdos.
I dunno, a team of guys posting Eric's face photoshopped on gay porn while cycling through a bunch of sock accounts as they get flagged and blocked? Also, they liked the protection of plausible deniability.
Now this is the sort of incoherent, autistic rambling we expected from Zach back in the day. A return to form?
Nah, he needs to record it on a cellphone, sitting in his car, talking manically, while eating a Quarter Pounder, in McDonlad's parking lot. That's classic Zach.
Old Zack would have taken the allegations tweeted by Ben Templesmith that an IDW executive was embezzling funds to squander on thots as total vindication of cumdumpster-gate.
he could just find a link online to read it... Also, $100 for that is one of the biggest scams ever... I read both issues, just to see whats all this shit about, and no surprise, it ain't that good. Same could be said for most of the CG books. The story and the characters just don't grab me and I give zero fucks about everyone in the book. Art is also pretty mediocre, especially during fights... So, i guess my favorite part of Isom is that its pretty short. I am sure that this new book, Alphacore, or whatever its called, is gonna be better, as it does have a pro writer in Dixon. But the problem is, that I haven't seen Dixon write anything great in like 20 years, but still, it can't be worse than the first 2 books.
It's still no less funny though. Dick is seething. Count on it.
He's doing it specifically because it's a drama on his site spread across several different threads. It's what he does. Discuss things the KF is discussing. His off-site content is largely driven by on-site content. My guess is he'll also make the $100 back easily, and then some, because the ISOM review will be on Gumroad for a week or so before releasing it to the broader public.
Those 20 minute rants when somebody would park next to him...ah, the good ol days.
when 40 years old people with arrested development can't accept the fact that the medium they enjoyed back then is shit now and unable to move on with their lives or move on to superior manga.
For crowdfunding? It started with Zack making his own Book "Jawbreakers" but his publishing deal with antarctic press (who publishes Tim Lims My Hero magademia) got canceled after Mark Waid (Known for daredevil Kingdom Come) blew up their voice-mail threatening to go after them which resulted in the failed lawsuit that evs was the creator of in some protoweeb wars "warchest" to help with legal aid for Zack. This inspired antisjw creators to make their own projects with old ips they had before joining the big 2 of the entertainment industry (Cyberfrog for Ethan and Earthworm Jim for Tenapal). About 3 months into it Ethan caused the first dismissals of Tim Lim due to trump books and Nerkish for his humor threatening a dox which canceled Nerkish, Tim Lim's & Cecil's (a 40 year old dude who got kicked out of his sister's house of either streaming naked outside or wore a creepy mask that the sister's nanny or neighbor reported) Book "CashGrab." Also he had issues with Voxday trying to take comicsgate ip.
Pretty fucking spot on retelling of cg in a nut shell. Also the endless livestreams instead of working on the books themselves of the creators (with the exception of zach) due to the money just flowing in.
