I wonder if Bounding into Comics has some sort remedy. Tim Poole and another Journalist were talking yesterday about how the civil rights act could be updated and applied to platform censorship, and there recently was a supreme Court ruling that was unanimous that stated the Government did not have the power to keep people off social media as social media functioned as the modern "public square". It would be a novel lawsuit that would rely on a novel reading of the civil rights ac and the constitution though. Right now it only prohibits discrimination based on religion and identity, not politics. Which means a much broader constitutional question would be required. Meaning Supreme Court review. They would need a million dollars minimum to get any sort of legal remedy here. To be fair though, Comicsgate and the associated Weeb Wars have crowdfunded around a million dollars in various legal funds and project gofundme's, so the money is there. They also would not need a million dollars up front. 250,000 dollars would be enough of a retainer for a competent lawfirm to get started on this. After that another 250,000 dollars to get through the district level trial, another 250,000 for the appeal, and maybe another 250-500,000 to take it all the way.

So what I am saying there isn't no hope, but its vanishingly small absent the Department of Justice suddenly showing up like an avenging angel.

IF they have a remedy it involves going to court and good luck with that. At least Ya Boi Zack's got fans willing to give to his legal GoFundMe and at least six figures in sales from the two comics he produced this year (so far), not to mention his YT income.

I would say they have a better bet at salting the earth and starting another stupid site about comics that nobody needs to read. Seriously, Rich Johnson and Bleeding Cool, who wants to read/pay for that shite?

How much is YT $? Tim Pool seems to shit out 50 videos a day.

I think you are confusing the two. Bleeding Cool is a shill website. Bounding into Comics was not a shill website. Two different things. And yes, there only remedy is going to court. Unlike individuals though, they do have a first amendment argument to be made beyond "free speech". They are also a news publication which implicates freedom of the press. Alex Jones kinda shit the bed on his end of things because he argued in his divorce that what he did was performance art, not news. The Federal Courts won't simply toss a lawsuit that implicates both the right of speech, and the right of free press on an immediate motion to dismiss. Which means the case will at a minimum be heard, and can in theory be heard all the way to the Supreme Court where it would be settled. Its the only place it could be settled right now, along with literally every single other case of social media de-platforming.

Which is why I am putting far more hope in the Trump Administrations justice department finally dropping the hammer on Silicon valley. They have been making noises about it for months now. At least since October of Last year when Jeff Sessions convened a working group to look into anti-trust violations in big tech.

I appreciate BC is shite and BiC is fighting the good fight. I just wouldn’t want to be on either side from an economic standpoint. I think legally as much as they are in the right they can’t win this.

Its a question of resources. Plain and simple. Rich Democrats and wealthy multinationals are quite happy with implementing a quasi fascistic police state on the internet and in society to keep out wrong think, and rich Republicans don't want to set a precedent where the power of big business is restrained. The end result is people who actually believe in freedom and the principles of our country are left out in the cold, cap in hand.

That said, I do still have faith in the legal system of the country. The justices once empaneled don't have to answer to outside interest groups or seek reelection every few years. But there is a cost of entry. But enough people support a cause, they can raise the money needed to present a case. The ACLU back in the day was an early example of grass roots crowdfunding, and their crown jewel was Gideon v. Wainwright.

A literal indigent man with no money who was forced to defend himself on a charge of breaking and entering was able to argue his case before the Supreme Court thanks to the ACLU. He won too. Led to a really great made for TV movie.

Worth the watch .

Honestly, ever since Dark Nights: Metal, cosmic DC stories have been getting all kinds of fucked up.

From Steve Orlando's disastrous 2018 run of "The Unexpected" and its godawful portrayal of Mandrakk.

To the most recent Justice League run, where Scott Snyder badly apes Grant Morrison's cosmology by stating that the Sixth Dimension is the top of the DC multiverse (which contradicts many previous stories).

And this newest Female Furies volume, which is just an abomination.

It's like these people don't even study the cosmology or nature of the characters involved before writing their shit stories.

Agreed. Nu52 was garbage, and Rebirth actually made DC readable again....Titans, Hal Jordan and the GL Corps, Green Lanterns, Deathstroke, Doomsday Clock...all great reads.

Now most of those have been cancelled, then new GL series is boring, and Doomsday Clock keeps getting pushed back until it ends up getting released next to the New Mutants film in 2050. Heroes in Crisis ended up being more of the same "depression porn" that Tom King excels at.

At least it looks like Marvel shitcanned garbage like "America" but they've relaunched Ms. Marvel and Captain Marvel for the 500th time already. Stop trying to make them happen, Gretchen. It's not going to happen!!!!
 
Lionforge and oni merged leading to a lot of SJWs at lionforge to get fired. They’re crying rn and some of them are black throwing around racism and accusing Oni of moving HQ to a white city that’s anti-black.....wait for it.....Portland.

The race baiters are very mad, good riddance to steen. She’s one of the worst.
 
The weird thing about the anti-Comicsgate crowd is that the group they hate is full of colored people.

Mike Miller is yellow as is the Knucklebomb guy.

Canaan and Brand's creator are black.

Yaboi has a kid for every color of the rainbow.

Nassar is some sort of brown person. Huerta and the other guy whose name I've forgotten are Hispanic.

Meanwhile, the opposition is almost all white trannies and fat soyboys.

It's worth noting that McDuffie didn't consider Milestone "BLACK-ONLY COMICS" and arguably one of the reasons it didn't last is people marketing them as such. The reason a bunch of their casts had a bunch of black people was due to the stories they wanted to make and the people in charge.

Pretty sure there was some early issue of Icon where the letter pages had a confused McDuffie going "What are you talking about?" to someone asking if it's "okay" for them to like the comic when they're a white woman.

Edit: I also love how this lady doesn't even care about comics, just making something for a "streaming show". Why not just cut out the middleman and make a show without some comic to "justify" it?

Why Rich, I think that makes you gatekeeping truscum, and therefore an enemy to troons. Are you sure you want to go down that road? How much documentation are you going to request of anyone who wishes to change their pronouns before they will become acceptable to you?

Sounds like he wants to be shown a whole bunch of Twitter/Tumblr accounts from people who identify as they/them and be asked to personally judge whether they are genuine or not. And have those judgements shown in public so we all know who the Gender Police are.

I mean, French BDists are hardcore unionised and they fare barely better. Good luck, tho, having an union sometimes work. (no it won't with y'all at the steering wheel, who am I kidding? You can't even fucking sale a comic book in the first place.)

I can't still figure it out how people actually want to work in comics if they can't even manage to save a fund for dark times like these? Blows my mind every single time.

Yeah but you get to draw Batman with brown ink thus preventing black kids from committing suicide and you get to trigger the nazis online. They might even give you a Netflix show so you can break into TV/animation. Slay kween.

Why are SJW cuckbeards getting the Richard Spencer Nazi undercut?
 
Hi, if anyone is hiring, I am a former editor at Lionforge who, under his tenure, managed to raise sales of our two highest profile books by 25% and our overall comics line by over 10%. I am also responsible for opening up and expanding digital and library revenue streams for our legacy products. I have years of experience and contacts with some of the biggest players in the industry.

Hahaha just kidding. I greenlit a book with a black woman in it. Give me a job or I'll call you a racist.
