I don't buy it that DC wouldn't hire Waid.

That depends on whether DiDio is willing to let comments Waid made in an interview nearly ten years ago slide. Someone on r/comicbooks reported that he said that he was in talks with DC last year so it's possible that he can return to their fold. If they do, I really hope the keep him off of Superman because of his latest cringe-inducing run on Captain America (granted, they put Bendis on Supes, which does not inspire much confidence.)

Also, I find the following quote from Waid hilarious because doesn't it encapsulate Waid's behaviour over the years?

"The biggest challenge [of 52] was actually, wisely, kept from us by [editor] Steve [Wacker]. EIC Dan Didio, who first championed the concept, hated what we were doing. H-A-T-E-D 52. Would storm up and down the halls telling everyone how much he hated it. And Steve, God bless him, kept us out of the loop on that particular drama. [Editor Michael] Siglain, having less seniority, was less able to do so, and there's one issue of 52 near the end that was written almost totally by Dan and Keith Giffen because none of the writers could plot it to Dan's satisfaction. Which was and is his prerogative as EIC, but man, there's little more demoralizing than taking the ball down to the one-yard line and then being benched by the guy who kept referring to COUNTDOWN as '52 done right.'"

You're all very obviously getting "Q-Anon"'d, you silly shit.

edit: ... oh fuck you don't know what QAnon is do you...

I'm not ready to fully trust this post either, but comparing it to Q is utterly ridiculous. It's far more likely someone in the comics industry is posting on 4chan (a popular site for nerds for over a decade now) than it is a high ranking government official is doing the same because in the scope of gov operations, 4chan means nothing.

This isn't like Q, this is more like the Overwatch update/new character leaks on /v/ where it could be entirely accurate (several new characters early information has been leaked to 4chan and later turned out to be mostly true), or it could be a shitposter or attention whore.
 
What drives someone like Waid to stan for truly awful shits like Brian Visaggio and Tess Fowler etc? These people bring the “harassment” on themselves with their self-righteous attitude, shitty work product, and antagonizing attitude. I’d let them all hang out to dry and support those that are truly good at their job and not garbage humans.
 
The rumor is a 30 year professional, buffoon or not, literally threatened violence if the store didn't cave. It's very obviously a shitposter. The fact that people think it's even a 50/50 chance of being true makes it exactly like Q.

Considering Mark Waid's previous spergouts (which was why he fucked off twitter) and considering Visaggio has straight up threatened physical violence before, I honestly think it's not that far fetched that Waid went full fucking exceptional and straight up had a tantrum on the press house. Take with a grain of salt, but we're to the point where shitposting is indistinguishable from what comic pros have actually said and done.

Aren't there stories of this guy having meltdowns in his office and throwing stuff around in an autistic fit? I know one of these "professionals" had a story on them where their EIC or whoever walked in and they were just crying on the phone and screaming. The guy literally never heard this complaint before and was stunned that everyone was moving on and not even reacting. They basically admitted to him that he does it daily or something.
 
Just thought I'd leave this here. Image co-founder Erik Larsen trying desperately to gaslight the shitshow.

The fact that he called a competing publisher at all is incredibly damning, whether he threatened physical violence or not.
 
I dunno this one might be too autistic even for Jim. I'm not even sure it's all that funny either.

To me the whole thing is a tragedy, and we just started act 3.
 
Its a bunch of comic book artists and writers at the biggest comics company going to war over a guy with a cellphone laughing at their bad comics. When they said, 'put up or shut up', he said 'Ok'. Then when it looked like they'd eat crow, they sperged the fuck out.

I don't think Diversity in Comics is a sperg. He's a fucking guy on a cellphone with terrible audio filming in a closet just laughing at badly written shit. If that guy can bother you to the point where you talk about him constantly, to the point where you spend an entire work day trying to get his comic off store shelves, you're the sperg.

It has been reported by coworkers that this guy would not just cry, but literally sob and slam a phone down in a receiver, repeatedly. These breakdowns happened so frequently they just ignored it. Broke brains don't stay broke, they get worse. You don't think its out of the realm of possibility that a guy threatened violence when he regularly broke down sobbing and destroying inanimate objects for no reason, so often that it just got ignored by an entire office? Yeah, ok.

Even if he didn't threaten violence, if Marvel comics was a real company, Waid would have been fucking fired for this. This is incredibly unprofessional and what he did was basically the definition of tortious interference. Its clearly obvious he threw around the Marvel name and used his career as a cudgel to intimidate a small publisher into stopping a book from getting published. Even if no lawsuits are thrown around, I've never heard of this happening before. I've seen dumbfuck SJWs and college students screeching at something to get changed or to boycott something or for a company to get rid of it, but never have I seen someone in the same industry intimidate someone smaller in that industry over shit like 'This guy has politics I don't like. Stop your arrangement or I will ruin you'. I've heard of companies refusing to stock something or not publish something, this is another level entirely.

But Marvel comics is clearly not a real company, so all I think will happen to Waid is a finger wagging and a social-media time-out like the dumb, faggot baby he is. He'll be back eventually. But like I said, I've never heard of this happening in an industry context over something as idiotic as politics. And I've followed a lot of dumb SJW shit. I think this will have at least some repercussions, maybe not directly on Waid, but on the industry itself. You simply can't, as an industry professional in a small industry, bully a mom and pop shop over politics and it not make waves. What that will be, who knows.
 
Marvel's not a real company but Disney is. I doubt they want to see a lawsuit because some nobody interfered with someone not even in real competition to them.

I've never heard of this happening before

Neither have I, which is the entire reason I'm not immediately buying that it happened. Based on a 4chan post.

Get as pissy as you want, certain people within this sphere have a habit of blowing shit way out of proportion and exaggerating shit based on rumors. Ever since a certain neon-headed pig pulled down some fat kids YouTube video there have been years worth of industry-shaking HAPPENING!s that never amounted to shit. If this happened, ok, cool. That's some wild shit. But the thing is that people have been running around shrieking their fucking heads off over shit like this for years and then nothing comes of it. Wasn't there suppsoed to be some big war with trading cards mere months ago? How the fuck did that pan out? Didn't somebody totally uncover hundreds of pedophiles and it was totally going to fucking demolish their business? That was how long ago? And wasn't I supposed to be getting all mad at that, how the guy was just winning left and right and I was reduced to inventing reasons on how he was a faggot? How'd that end up?

Sorry that this comes across as picking on you/him/whatever, but holy shit, how many of these little epic wars need to happen before you don't just immediately fly into jihad-mode? Keep shit in perspective.
