It always bear repeating that the impossible mountain that Ethan had to climb to fulfill his campaigns was draw four goddamn books over the last six years.

For comparison, Jack Kirby drew 1158 pages in 1962. One thousand, one hundred and fifty eight pages in one year. @FROG struggles with one hundred pages over six years.

You guys are skipping over the laborious process that Sciverfrog submits himself to over and over again. He uses his own bile mixed with premium reincarnated bullshit imported from India for ink. That's why he needs 5 hour long streams: he needs to stir up the bile supply and the money to pay the Hindus. Now that his wife is too sick to extract it, it takes even longer for him to suck it out of a custom catheter.

I could watch birth of a nation if I want to watch or read about virtuous Lynch mobs. And it would be more entertaining and they made the movie in a matter of months (they started filming of June 1914 and was in theaters in February of 1915)
It's ashame that the sjws are right about the "anti-sjw" movements were legitimately racist, if only they weren't soyfilled fags about it.

I don't know what's worse...... The fact that YBZ is still obsessed with Eric July, or the fact that they actually think the brand bashing is actually working with anyone smart almost 4 years later. And I also noticed he lost more subscribers and is below 90K subscribers on his YouTube channel now. I'm also willing to bet that guy who thanked YBZ was never going to apply to Rippaverse, but I am curious how anyone can believe it's this terrible brand when the fan base continues to grow and more people continue to say what they like in it.....but YBZ is crazy so.... I can't expect any straight answer from him. I also like how he used AI to make Eric look bad, that's how pathetic he is. I use search engine AI to look up answers that are available WITHOUT any bias, but I never use AI to think for me or make other people look bad based on my words and opinions alone..... that's what losers do. You don't have to like Rippaverse, but brand bashing is just a low blow, and pocket watching is what losers do. Not to mention it's a sign of jealousy and envy. YBZ needs to find better things to do, like get therapy.

Moron Meyer rambles about how conservatives can't make art/culture and other things. Also conservatives can make culture and have had an impact this past decade. You want proof of this Meyer you out of touch depressed middle aged man? (Seriously, the way you describe the birthday party clown's audience is pure projection on your part.)

Scott Cawthon. Creator of Five Nights At Freddy's.

Forget the furry appeal completely, the Five Nights At Freddy's series regardless of what you may think of it is not only a popular hit but it introduced a whole new generation of kids to these restaurant animatronic bands from the 80s/90s like Chuck E Cheese's and Showbiz Pizza Place and their histories. Chuck E Cheese's specifically were planning to phase out all the animatronic bands in their stores this decade but in response to an outcry from fans they agreed to allow 6 locations (5 in America, 1 in Canada) to retain the animatronic band. I guarantee you that fan outcry would have been very small and fallen on deaf ears had it not been for Five Nights at Freddy's and its fandom. It also launched Markiplier's Youtube career.

Meyer and people like him (shitlibs) hyper-focuses on people like Eric July, Daily Wire and others that affirm their beliefs about conservatives can't make art/culture but proceed to ignore actual successes like Scott Cawthon.

I'm surprised he's STILL obsessed with him at this point. How much does he need to lose before he realizes he's only damaging himself now? The brand bashing has been done almost the entire time it's been out, and it's STILL here and doing more. Iconic Comics also is a victim of it, but Rippaverse seems to be getting the most.
 
Indiegogo just announced their new policies for creators (or at least I just got the email)

Verification and Risk Assessment

Indiegogo may also decline Projects based on internal risk assessment. This assessment may consider, among other factors:
  • your prior performance and history of Reward delivery,
  • unresolved obligations to Backers from delayed or undelivered Rewards,
  • signs of fraudulent or deceptive behavior (e.g., discrepancies in Project information or suspicious funding patterns),
  • risks of money laundering or unfair transactional activity,
  • material deterioration of your financial standing to a level that reasonably threatens your ability to perform contractual obligations or deliver Rewards to Backers;
  • direct or indirect connections with individuals or entities previously involved in non-compliant, misleading, or banned campaigns, where such association raises reasonable concerns.
Risk assessments may be carried out not only during onboarding but throughout the entire lifecycle of your Project (campaign, Late Pledge, and Pledge Manager).

If the risk assessment is negative, Indiegogo may, at its sole discretion:
  • deny or suspend onboarding at any stage,
  • suspend or terminate an active campaign if risk indicators emerge after launch,
  • cancel a Project during the Late Pledge or Pledge Manager phase.

I can see EVS having problems with five of those first six bullet-points.

Also interesting:

5. Indiegogo’s Right to withhold or delay payouts

Indiegogo reserves the right to withhold, delay, or conditionally release funds collected during a crowdfunding campaign, Late Pledge, and Pledge Manager if there is a reasonable suspicion that:

  • you are engaging in fraudulent, deceptive, or misleading conduct;
  • you are unlikely to deliver the promised reward or service to Backers, for example due to material deterioration of Creator’s financial standing;
  • there is a risk that the funds will need to be refunded to Backers, particularly where a high volume of refund requests is likely or reasonably foreseeable;
  • there is a reasonable suspicion that the funds are subject to investigation, seizure, inclusion in bankruptcy estate, insolvency proceedings, restructuring proceedings, or any similar legal process, or that you are at risk of insolvency or bankruptcy, which may result in the funds being subject to such proceedings or in the inability to deliver products or services to Backers;
  • you violate Indiegogo’s Terms of Use, these Guidelines, or applicable laws.
When Indiegogo identifies elevated risk factors, it may, at its sole discretion:

  • require you to provide additional documentation, such as production agreements, fulfillment timelines, or manufacturing estimates;
  • require permits or other authorizations issued by relevant authorities or regulatory bodies;
  • hold a portion of the funds in escrow or release them on a milestone-based schedule;
  • request personal or company guarantees to ensure reward delivery;
  • restrict withdrawals or temporarily suspend some account functionalities.
Indiegogo will notify you via email and without undue delay of any decision to withhold funds, restrict account access, or apply additional safeguards, and will provide the reasons for such action. Depending on the nature of your Project, your track record, or the level of identified risk, Indiegogo may, at its sole discretion, require you to provide additional guarantees or security for potential refund or chargeback liabilities. Such security may take the form of authorizing Indiegogo to charge your credit card, a cash deposit, or any other form acceptable to Indiegogo.

You may submit a written explanation, objection, or request for review through Indiegogo’s internal dispute resolution mechanism by contacting the legal department (details available on the platform). Indiegogo will review such submissions and respond within a reasonable timeframe. Following the review, Indiegogo may uphold, amend, or revoke its original decision based on the outcome of the legal assessment.

Suspended funds will remain with the payment processor until the circumstances requiring the suspension cease to exist, or, where appropriate, be returned to Backers. Under no circumstances will Indiegogo transfer such funds to its own bank account.

Indiegogo shall not be liable for any loss, damage, or missed payment arising from the application of these risk-based measures, provided such actions are taken in good faith and for the purpose of protecting Users, preventing you from violating applicable laws, and safeguarding the integrity of the platform.

7. Prohibited Practices

Any form of manipulation, fraudulent or deceptive activity, dissemination of false or misleading information, or any other action artificially influencing the perceived success, funding level, Reward value, or additional benefits of the Project at any stage of its lifecycle is strictly prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to:
  • creating or arranging false or self-pledges (e.g., pledges made by you or by third parties acting on your behalf solely to inflate funding);
  • misrepresenting the actual support for the campaign;
  • using bots or other automated systems to simulate activity;
  • coordinating with Backers to cancel or manipulate pledges after reaching the goal;
  • misleading marketing, deceptive communications, or any other forms of disinformation at any stage of the campaign, including during the crowdfunding phase, Project execution, or delivery of Rewards, where the purpose or effect of such conduct is to create a false impression of the actual status of the campaign or the degree of fulfillment of obligations towards Backers;
  • lowering the funding goal or Reward value, or engaging in other similar manipulation of Rewards to reach the funding goal, followed by redirecting traffic to another platform to avoid paying the Platform fee, or otherwise redirecting Backers to external platforms or channels in a manner that undermines the structure or transparency of the crowdfunding process on the Platform.
Such activities may result in the suspension or termination of your campaign, Pledge Manager, Late Pledge, or account, withholding of funds, and/or legal action. Indiegogo reserves the right to investigate any suspicious behavior and take appropriate measures to protect Backers and preserve the integrity of the Platform.

8. Communication & Transparency

You are obliged to act in a transparent, reliable, and honest manner towards both Backers and Indiegogo, providing true, current, and complete information about the Project, its progress, and any changes that may affect the delivery of Rewards. You must respond to inquiries, messages, and requests for information from Backers and Indiegogo in a timely and substantive manner. You must promptly inform Indiegogo and Backers of any significant issues or circumstances that may affect the timely and proper delivery of Rewards.

You are required to regularly publish updates on the Project’s page, covering in particular:

  • progress in execution;
  • encountered difficulties;
  • planned changes to the schedule and revised expected delivery dates.
In the event of non-compliance with the above obligations, Indiegogo may take measures it deems appropriate to address the situation, which may include actions affecting your access to or ability to use certain Platform services, delaying or withholding disbursement of funds, or other steps aimed at ensuring compliance with these Guidelines and protecting the integrity of the Platform. The scope, nature, and timing of any such measures shall be determined solely by Indiegogo at its discretion.

I mean, Clint Eastwood made a few good movies, and he was a featured speaker at a Republican convention. Even though Richard C. Myer is an out of touch weirdo, I'm sure he's heard of him.

I'm sure that to Richard since he's never heard of 5 Nights at Freddy's so it isn't important.

Conservatives frequently aren't allowed to make things under the banner of established corporate media. Anyone that tries nowadays faces an uphill battle.

FFS, you would think that the founder of Comicsgate would understand this. That's the part that everybody agreed with. Why the whole thing started.

And John Milius was once the Director of the National Rifle Association.

But those are outliers. When Mel Gibson made The Passion of the Christ, he had to self fund the whole thing himself, because no Hollywood studio would touch the subject.

To me the surprising thing is that Meyer gives a crap about Eric July AT ALL.

I mean, I sort of get the pathetic hatred July inspires in Ethan, what with Eric behaving like a responsible adult and stuff regarding production and timely delivery of his (not so) funny books exposing @FROG for the incompetent grifter he is just by raising more money than him and then just doing doing the bare freaking minimum by delivering product in a reasonable amount of time and refusing to be taken under Uncle E's wing and be a pliant member of his flock.

But YaWiggerZack? What's it to him? AFAIK Zack never interacted significantly with Eric unlike, say for example, Will "TheCriticalDrinker" Jordan. And unlike EVS, Zack also never cared when other creators raised more money than him or delivered their crap on time. What gives? Is this some favor he owes Ethan or is his contrarianism kicking into gear due to the Rippaverse's relative success?

Well, basically, Richard flipped from hating SJWs to hating conservatives. July isn't even a conventional conservative, but then many of the "conservatives" Richard attacks are barely conservative at all. Of course, for Richard disliking the latest Disney girl boss movie makes a person a Bible thumping Christian conservative. He's not very bright.

My theory is that Zack is truly resentful that many people stopped buying his stuff after he dropped the Mark Waid lawsuit. He wants people to buy his books because of how great they are and not as purchases of "culture war bonds" to pwn the SJWs. And he saw his sales plummet but Eric is thriving, so he believes (or at least he tells himself) the culture war bonds have moved to the Rippaverse and that's the only reason for Eric's success.

cap’n Cummings would but around the time the concept of Comicsgate started picking up steam, he started having some kind of mental breakdown where he ditched the Cap’n Cummings character and started focusing on politics. So it fell to Zack and that artist we all like to make comics gate a thing.

But, in actuality I consider EVS to the second generation of CG because he wasn't there at the beginning like Cummings, Mim Headroom and Zack were.

I'm sure if Kirby had spent most of his time hosting streaming shows, doing book-related merch runs, and getting into one-sided social media wars with other creators rather than working on the books themselves, he would've struggled to clear 100 pages too.

Yeah, almost 4 years later and all those good reviews from actual readers including new ones getting into it for the first time and he STILL wants to believe people buy Rippaverse books as culture war bonds..... He would have better luck getting normal people to believe that in the first year and maybe even the second, but the third year not so much and when the fourth year comes around he may as well forget it. It's clearly projection on his part at this point. I mean people like him ALSO accuse Iconic comics of the same thing....this "culture war bonds" crap is just cope as well as projection from these losers.

I think about this sometimes.
Honestly, I do think Jack Kirby would get into drawn out social media battles, but more in line with political arguments, less with vanity policing people's opinions about him. Even the great and sticky fingered Stan Lee would probably spend a great deal of his day on Instagram. I'm sure there's countless other comic book history giants that would sink their lives into internet battles had they been around at the time these guys were interested in registering their opinions with the world.

That being said, they probably wouldn't be raising up internet gangs and giving so much lip service to their competition.

An honest to goodness Jack Kirby parody account that just argues with communists and posts vintage Fantastic Four art would be hillarious.

Most people are fine with how the lawsuit turned out. Yeah, Waid did not get to be publicly forced to apologize but spend quite a few years getting exposed as a manchild. His temper tantrums and assholery that were kept industry secrets were thrown into the public discourse and embarrassed him greatly. He did not suffer as much as he deserved but people now know of his morning tantrums and his theft of the comicbook store from a black woman.

No, people stopped buying his books for many other reasons: They were late, bad, he killed his good ideas that people liked such as the Jawbreakers and there was little improvement. People stopped buying because his business model involves not selling good products at timely manner. His business model is at war with human nature!

Bro you don't have to go that outside of comics to show that. Chuck Dixon, Kamen America and the fact that while they aren't as effective as Zack thinks they are Reviewtubers shifting the landscape of how people look at film, not all of them obsesse over slop eather.
