If you're emotionally invested in the demographics of some shitty comic one way or the other I am genuinly embarrised for you.
does fear count? i fear the people who buy heavy metal. half the covers are pretty disturbing.
 
This is a very interesting move on Zack's part. Doubt any of these dangerhairs will take the offer, but it's a nice gesture

YaBoi stop trying to be nice, they will (at best) only spit on you for doing it.

And this the only measure I care about when consuming art: how enjoyable I find it. Recently I think it's shit.

But Kelly cares. A lot.

Why is this white Supremacist crossing out POC creators like Saladin Ahmed. This is a stunning display of hatred.


Empty promises, Chelsey, empty promises...
Fucking lol, you burned your bridge at Marvel and were patting yourself on the back while doing it, so what are you even giving up on?

Your shitty bleeding vaginas book has gone fucking nowhere since issue 2 you fucking bint. How can you make people fucking buy that shit for $5 and keep delaying the fucking story just to take jabs at men and boys? Thank fuck pirating sites love to mock your book enough to actually pirate it, because god knows no one is buying your shitty book.

Kinda turned into a spergout there, apologies. I’m up to date on her book and let’s just say it’s really something (((((EXCEPTIONAL))))).
 
The only surprising thing about that poster is that any of those women have jobs considering their complete lack of talent and popularity. Their combined sales in any given month is less than a single issue of Batman.
YBZ has been making this point since 2017. It’s like spitting into the wind. Until these fuckers get fired and their careers are OVER it won’t matter.

This facial expression. Every fucking time.

Last time I saw a mouth like that it had a hook in it.
 
Serious question: Who funds Rich Johnston?

View attachment 751034View attachment 751035

Avatar Comics, which apparently has a weird love/hate relationship with Rich. In particular, they forced him to fire Joe Glass as the fall guy for Glass and Jude Terror's plot to deplatform Richard (something Rich repeatedly denies since he was in on the plot and desperately doesn't want to be fired from the website if Avatar found out how deeply involved he was) and recently are alleged to have demoted Rich from having total control over the site, IIRC corner gossip and now has to share responsibilities with others who Avatar brought in.

Also, Rich inadvertedly drops a HUGE fucking red pill in the opening of the article (wonder if he realizes it)

The motivation seemed to come from the idea that some people weren’t getting jobs in comics while these people were, and that they were only getting those jobs because they’re trans. Added to this was the allegation that certain creators weren’t ‘really’ trans, and it was all just an act to get work from a comics industry that was so politically correct it would hire people without talent as ‘token’ hires, or supporting liberal, left-wing, even socialist comic book storylines, while denying work to straight, white, cis, conservative men. Richard Meyer‘s ‘Dark Roast‘ concentrated a lot of that sentiment, it gained momentum with a very vocal group and never really went away.

I am going to ask a really stupid question what did ya boi zack do to get people soo worked up at the start


What started comic gate?

Him mocking the Milkshake selfie was the inciting event that put him on everyone's radar. Then Sitterson raped GI Joe while Chris Ryall held the franchise down, which was what really caused Richard to take off and get fame, since he was one of the very few comic people calling bullshit on Rich and company's attempt to blood libel GI Joe fandom when GI Joe fandom dared tried to save GI Joe from being raped.

But the rape of GI Joe and the fight against the SJW mafia (who declared total war on the entire GI Joe fandom), plus the complete and total failure of the post-Secret War relaunch of Marvel Comics and DC You (both of which were explicitly aimed at the SJW market), kicked off Comicsgate.

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.

It's been said that modern Democrats, especially rich ones, use identity politics the same way Democrats used identity politics pre/post-Civil War: IE use X-Supremacy to keep the poor at each other's throats so they don't see how the rich and powerful are fucking them.

When the great party realignment happened following the passing of the Civil Rights Act and the creation of the "Southern Strategy" in the late 60s, it took a while for the democrats to go back to that KKK era strategy (this time preaching the opposite, to harm white people) in the early 2010s when Occupy Wall Street happened and the wealthy elites suddenly realized that the masses were so fucking pissed over the handling of the economic crash of 2008, that a French Revolution style mass murdering of the wealthy might actually come into being. Pushing said identity politics was their way to silence dissent economically and on a wide rang of other issues relating to corruption and cronyism on the left.

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.

Rich is just pouting because he and his ilk have been weaponizing Twitter's corrupt banning policy for years and are now fucking pissed that Comicsgate is giving them a taste of their own medicine and in a way that also shows the absurdity of transism these days (IE how easy it is to claim being trans for perks and special treatment and immunity from all consequences).

His spiel also opens with a lot of stuff where you can tell that even Rich is starting to see it's a losing battle he's waging and that he probably regrets the fact that him and his fellow Ellis cultists have 100% failed and that everything they have preached has not only been soundly rejected but that the nerds/geeks have started fighting back and doing so in a way that they can't defend themselves over.
 
Why the fuck would Twitter talk to Rich Johnston?

Because he can. Rich is tight with Andy Khouri from the Warren Ellis/V-Hive Forum days and Andy is tight with Zoe, who in turn has Twitter on speed dial to cry to whenever someone calls her out on her shit.

Plus Rich has other connections that are several degrees away from the corrupt cunts at Twitter who would gladly pull strings to get him an audience with the top brass in charge of banning/suspending people to cry to them about how "unfair" they are being.

I hope Alan Moore shits all over it. Actually, that's more or less guaranteed.

Too bad he won't actually block it. While he's generally refused to take any profits from these adaptations he hates (pretty much all of them), he is a good enough collaborator he doesn't screw his co-authors out of an opportunity to make money even if he doesn't want any part of it.

Moore no longer gives a fuck. He's long realized he'll never own Watchmen outright and just doesn't care anymore.

Also, fans have Doomsday Clock as the "real" sequel, which has the added bonus of it being the direct result of Geoff Johns being pissed the fuck off that the left went full tilt insane after Trump won and basically is him doing a story where you have the king of the SJWs (Veidt) on the run for his crimes, with a retainer of SJW diversity psychos (black guy, white woman, Hispanic man) trying to wipe out the DC Universe because Dr Manhattan won't come back and bail his ass out of trouble. Plus the bonus meta points that removing a heterosexual Alan Scott from the universe literally turns the DC universe into a hellish dystopia...

Glad SJW Twitter wasn't around for the moon landings.

Mad Men, in it's moon landing episode, nailed how SJWs would ruin the moon landing. IE complain that the money spent on the moon landing would have been better spent on more programs for minorities.

They saved him from literal homosexual rape by Aubrey up-the-Shitterson. Since when would you fucking put anyone named "Aubrey" in charge of fucking G.I. Joe anyway? Just the name "Aubrey" is so gay it just had a train run on it by a dude dressed as a trucker, an Indian, a sailor and a cop.

So yes, YaBoi became LITERALLY A NAZI because he thought low quality trash like this wasn't good.

The hilarious thing about that cover was how it was GAY Joe fans that led the charge to publicly shit on it. Which pretty much made it impossible for IDW and their media cronies to get any traction on calling GI Joe fandom homophobic.

Ironically, had they just spent the fucking money to do a lipstick lesbian cover with the Joe ladies, people wouldn't have said anything. Or even done a cover with Dial Tone/Mainframe (who are pretty much all but officially canon gay) or Storm Shadow/Snake Eyes, who's bromance is the stuff of legends, no one would have cared.
 
Here I present you a prime example of dangerhair as seen in her/their exemplary twitter bio- another Oni editor that got let go and was highly present on my tweet feed due to people cheering for her/them, begging for money and work.

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.)

You go Matt!

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.
Inclusion to these idiots means hiring only black trannies. Oni is moving forward with less baggage and drama by dropping all their bipoc/trannies etc.
 
"Let's Unionize Comics" displays a stunning lack of self-awareness. If comics was a union job with a Bernie-approved $15/hour wage, none of these people would have jobs. The entire point of the lower tier of the comics industry is that dangerhairs work for free in exchange for being able to call themselves "creatives". If comics companies start having to pay actual salaries and benefits, the (soy)bean counters are going to take a much harder look at whether they're getting anything for their money.

They might just have to go ahead and hire back those fucking white males who wouldn't work for what they're currently paying.

Or spend the money on hiring someone can actually draw and a writer who can write a story showing how in or out of context the cover picture is.

It's actually not even an original idea. There's an ongoing meme in the indie game scene about starting an union as a way to solve their ills. They're just taking the same half-baked plan they heard a friend have and applying it to their job instead.

"Unions means they can't fire me and I get more money, right?" tier stuff.
 
"Unions means they can't fire me and I get more money, right?" tier stuff.

Unions mean marginally profitable things become unprofitable, and already unprofitable things become unprofitable enough they just shut them down and fire everyone.
