I'm not quite sure what point he's even trying to make. If people are willing to voluntarily pay even more money on top of the MSRP for a one-off book they really want, why shouldn't the creator roll around in the money? It's not like they're doing anything underhanded, there is no sweatshop or dishonesty involved. If people can individually fart out one book per year, and survive off that, I don't see how that's worse than a whole team of people churning out endless books at an R. L. Stine pace. Oh, wait, this couldn't possibly be another industry shill. Of course the people who got booted from regular publishing like to brag that they can still reach an audience.

And Dead Beats looks like it will be the most cliche detritus seen since MySpace was a thing.

It's only confusing if you take those tweets on face value, they're not some manifesto on how to 'crowdfund the Communist way', they're the blustering, pre-emptive excuses for the fact that TUG will lap these losers several times over in the crowdfunding stakes.
And he's so embarrassed by that fact, he feels the need to point out that 'he never intended making more then his funding goal anyways, so there!'. These tweets are nothing but a face saving exercise. If their boring anthology made a million bucks he'd be singing a very different tune.
That tweet thread is an ode to fear and failure, and so is the SJW fondness for anthology books with dozens of people working on them, they love those because when their book inevitably makes no money, nobody's really to blame, because they all failed together collectively, (but at least they have something for their portfolio)... oh, wait, perhaps it is a 'crowdfunding the Communist way' manifesto after all.....

If they saw how the Meyer v Waid case is going, they'll be smart and shut their damn mouths unless they want to tease an encore.

What they'll do is quite simply flat out ignore any attacks, crying shrieking Mark Waid calls and other such nonsense.

Unless they actually want to take a "fuck SJWs" position and overtly brand themselves that way, which IMO would be a mistake.
 
More bad news from Dirty Hands Doug. He miscounted the number of Ashcans he needed and he's short by about 106 copies, so anyone who doesn't get a copy gets a refund on that and just gets the pdf. He is learning some expensive lessons from this. Good news is that he has 200 copies left of Bigfoot Bill(if he didn't miscount that too) so anyone who skipped out on the first go has a second chance.

"Deadbeats."

Good name for a bunch of clowns who never deliver on crowdfunding.
Click to expand...

It's so perfectly named. These idiots are trying to coordinate the efforts of what 40 people? Into a crowdfunded book? 40 of these dead beat idiot clowns, when any single one of them can delay the project. This might actually be the more moronic business misconception than even their prominently displayed belief that "crowdfunding should only pay for the book, not enrich or pay the creator".

I wonder how he felt when someone tried to get Peter Simeti shot by cops?
Poor pete. Such a nice guy & they swatted him for not taking a side in their private war.
I like how that scumbag uses a weird 'S' from the back end of the ASCII atalog so his shitty little tweet won't show up on some automatically compiled list.
 
Doyle really ought to watch his ass. With all the lawsuits going around, he better be damn sure he doesn’t say or do anything actionable. He has a business, so any one that takes him to court stands to make a lot of money.

TBF those #WarCampaign loons do nothing but give ammunition to ol' Man Boobs Doyle and his ilk. It is odd that EVS and all the other CGers who sit at their version of a cool kids table seem fine with them but also disown the Vox Days and Jon Del Arroz-es of the world. Granted they seem to do nothing but wank each other in their sooper secret discords and talk trash on Twitter, but if it is all about the optics I dunno how they make any side they're attached to look good.
 
Oof* Savage video from Ya Boi Zack today in which he flat out accused Mark Zaid of cynically using the death of Heather Hayer at Charlottesville to smear him in a tweet. Defamation and malice proved. Zaid really is pushing the line hard, I presume to see if Ya Boi cracks.
The answer is no.
Perhaps the line the defense case intends to follow has been made clear by their line of questioning. It looks like they're going for the full smear. Which I'm sure was Waid's intent all along. He desperately wants "Richard C. Meyer is a racist" entered into the public record.
Well I think that Richard's lawyer is going to put him on the stand to answer that directly, and if his performance on the stand is as passionate, consistent and affably homespun as it is in this video, the Judge (and or jury) will loathe Zaid almost as much as he deserves to be for pulling this shit.

His "business" isn't much.

That blithering idiot is perilously near the border of actionable defamation and frankly, well over the lines drawn by the rules of professional conduct.

Unlike all those ethics complaints that the #KickVic speds have been submitting against Nicky Rackets, an ethics complatint to the Bar Association about Zaid's behavior might really get that asshole in deep shit, or at the very least soften his cough.

Fat Tim: Durrr the harassment of a woman who harasses others will lead to violence against her!!

Also Fat Tim: When I or Renfamous harass people and their employers, destroy their businesses, dox them, attack their families and kids, it’s ok! Nothing wrong with what we do and won’t lead to any violence against them like an anti-cg autist swatting them.

Another "Dickie did it REEE!" article.

In 2016, the comics writer Chelsea Cain found herself drowning in abusive tweets. She’d made the mistake of penning an issue of Marvel’s Mockingbird series that featured an image of its heroine wearing a shirt saying, “Ask Me About My Feminist Agenda.”

The irony here being off the charts, given what she took from SJWs for her gender as a biological concept comic book.
