#Comicsgate - The Culture Wars Hit The Funny Books!

[KingofNothing]

Donny has been getting aggressive on twitter lately. Guess all the twitter banter has been getting to him

He deleted the tweet and is claiming he got baited, but shouldn't he have been able to track the account number and verify it in the first place since he made a big deal about seeing the number?

 

[Stab You in the Back]

Donny's twitter feed reads like it was written by a 14 year-old girl. The guy is utterly devoid of masculinity, which only makes his attempt to strong arm retailers all the more hilarious. Not only is piracy not the purview of a freelance writer, but the idea of this asswipe summoning the legal might of Disney's lawyers to destroy a small business over a leaked preview is laughable. Donny needs to stop huffing his own farts, calm the fuck down and get off Twitter for a few days.

Disney doesn't give a shit about Marvel Comics, sorry Donny.

Donny is just a few tweets away from saying you wouldn't download a car.

Donny needs to follow Zack's advice and get off twitter. Hell all of these pros do. People are not ready for the level of social interaction it throws your way and it shows in so many of them. Lawsuit nonsense aside, Zack is in way less trouble and seems much happier since he nuked his account

And technology is almost here to let you download a car

What Celebrities on twitter don't understand

Interactions with fans =/< Response from fans

The more positive your interactions with fans are, the better your responses are
and the more positive fan responses you reply to the more positive ones you get.
HOWEVER the REVERSE is also true
The more negative fan responses you reply to the more negative ones you get

What they also don’t seem to get is that, unlike customers, fans are a more finite resource in that fame and notoriety are much more fickle than physical products.

If a customer has a shitty employee experience Walmart, chances are there’s another one they can always go to another one close by to try again with a whole new staff. But if you keep “revoking” people’s fan status over petty, or worse legitimate, criticisms, eventually you aren’t going to have any fans.

Also if you’re an artist who does commissions, or sells your art on shirts or mugs, or runs a booth at a convention that in turn sells your art or comics, then you absolutely do in fact have customers. Any artist who thinks that they shouldn’t have to held responsible for whatever impact their posts the Twatter has on their fan base or sales because “duurrr but I’m an artist, I’m not in sales” is a moron.

and a lot easier to break

Ive seen books far outsell their quality because of who made them. Ive seen books not do well for the same reason.

For me, I just try to write shit that I like. If other people like it.. great. Sometimes, when a piece of art is good enough (im thinking Thriller levels of good) it can transcend its creator. Caravaggio was a murderer. Da Vinci was a paedophile.

Make good shit that speaks for itself.

Am I one of those "pretentious art fags" now?

I think it depends on the art and the creator. Roman Polanski being what he is doesn't really ruin Chinatown because only a genuinely sick fuck could have even made that movie in the first place. Woody Allen being a pedophile does because his personal self-insert is so integral to his movies and you just can't look at him the same way any more.

Except there is no evidence of Woody being a pedo

 

[I can't imagine]

Whether he actually sexually assaulted his daughter or not (and there's decent reasons to believe either side), he still does have a pretty long history of hooking up with 16 and 17 year old girls, even as he was well into his 40's.

Except the daughter who accused him was investigated multiple times and on psychological and physical evidence reasons been found not credible

Firsthand claims by the victim is evidence.

 

[Adamska]

And he still likes creeping on women half his age while endlessly trying to avoid his creepery by autistically sperging about how "lol neurotic I am" too.

Guilty or not he'll never escape association. The difference with Michael Jackson is hes almost a cartoon.

Before I joined KF I wasnt familiar with "sperging" as a verb.

I like it.

Their similar refusal to stop engaging in the very behavior that first drew suspicion to them doesn't help, although Jackson was almost certainly not guilty of what he was actually charged with.

They don't make such a finding. They either continue the investigation or find it "unfounded" which does not mean what you apparently think it does.

She has consistently maintained the same story from an early age into adulthood and her brother Ronan finds her quite credible.

But medical professionals who have examined her havent and said as much fwiw (and child protective service)

 

[Wise Man]

Are we talking about the same Woody Allen that groomed his girlfriend Mia Farrow's adopted Korean daughter into being his wife?

but when it was investigated by Law Enforcement they found her not credible

"Investigated"

From Mia Farrow's Wikipedia entry: (yeah, wikipedia, but they cite actual sources of information in this case)

Leventhal did not meet with Dylan prior to giving his testimony, and instead delivered his findings based on interviews conducted by others.[180] The Yale New Haven Hospital team's findings were criticized by the presiding judge, and later by other experts in the field, who found their behavior unusual for making conclusive statements about innocence and guilt, instead of reporting on behavior, for refusing to testify in court when asked, and for destroying all of their notes.[184][185] Justice Wilk stated that the investigating team's behavior had "resulted in a report which was sanitized and, therefore, less credible" and that its recommendations and statements had "exceed[ed] its mandate." He concluded, "I am less certain, however, than is the Yale-New Haven team, that the evidence proves conclusively that there was no sexual abuse."
