Zack's position on "comics book industry" vs "comics book community", transcribed by Mister Dongs in the year of our Lord two thousand and twenty
"SJWs have for the last couple of years have tried to redefine an industry as a 'community'. The thing is, they bang the drum on inclusivity and diversity, but the concept of 'community' is exclusivity. You get to kick these people out, you get to banish them, and then what happens is you form these echo chambers. So you have a very very unhealthy industry. And I've never seen so many people, especially you- people you would never imagine being scared. And those people are being scared. And y'know, it's like, you're living your whole life afraid of your own friends, in a community that you know will turn on you like the drop of the hat. And the worst part is, these people aren't even paying your bills. They're not even putting food on the table, and their big weapon is to threaten to take the food off the table. The food they didn't put on the table. "Oh - oh, we'll excommunicate you on our whisper network. This- ah uh- and the other thing... so, one of the things that y'know oh so we're uh I was we were talking about redefining success is SJWS keep redefining success for themselves. They'll be like "yeah, sure, Ethan van Sciver uh... made 800,000 dollars but.." but then they just start throwing things at the wall "How can we discredit making one million dollars? He doesn't have the respect of the industry." So- uhm, SJWs are redefining success, and success is what they define it. So making 800,000 dollars: not success. Selling 14,000 uh... books.... not success. They redefine success as basically 'membership in their community'. Their community of poverty and fear. So, uh, Ethan did this post as you can see there and he basically just paraphrase the last post that he had shared and, uh you see you know, you don't really know what being in the industry, you're not really in the - the industry is making money off of comics. If you sell a comic, you're in the industry. Now my personal definition of the word 'professional' is that you survive off the industry. You pay all of your bills off of selling comics and you talking abouty comics would also be y'know comic book industry.
The- There- They claim that you're not on a Marvel book... Not many people are. Show me the person out there that did ten issues of a Marvel comic. An artist. Now there's writers out there that do that but then again they pay- get paid so poorly that they gotta write four-to-five books a month just to survive. So this is not a healthy industry but the thing is that not that we don't understand the industry is that we understand it much much much much too well. We know that the industry is basically the sequel to Mean Girls. Yes I know they made a Mean Girls 2 but nobody ever remembers that movie. People only remember Mean Girls. It is chatty. It is immature. And that basically describes everything. Whispers, rumours, vendettas. Stuff you would see from a high school lunch room. Now the thing is that we can't act like that anyone involved is blameless. I've certainly done a million stupid things. But you can, y'know, reduce your attack surface by not being in the high school lunch room. Now the thing is that they're still going to attack you, because your success.... I was watching this... everyone is doing all of these, uh... oh, the people on the Avengers don't like Brie Larson because this guy made a face during an interview. I've honestly watched a couple of those videos and I can honestly never finish them because they're on these press junkets where they literally will have fifteen minutes with a different journalist and then go from - they'll do like twenty interviews a days. Have you ever seen the Ben Affleck meme where he's just staring out into space? That's where it comes from, these press junkets. So people are usually not that happy on a press junket. Um, so I've watched a couple of those videos, I don't really- I don't really... think there's much there. I don't think they care. Although I did see... the only one I saw that was convincing as purposeful shade was Jeremy Renner, because he basically... that... that... that was shade, uhuh hah... so basically, they were like "Do you think being a celebrity has a responsibility" and Brie Larson says "yes it does, I try to be a good person but I also try to use a platform' and Jeremy Renner who's like.. twenty years older, he's just over it, he says "I'm a good person I don't have any problem with it I don't gotta prove anything I don't gotta be this or that" and omg this woman is totally using the donation box as a garbage can.
But the thing isn't that we don't know the industry, it's that we know it very well. We don't want to be.. in the community WITHIN the industry. There is an industry, and that anyone who makes money off of comics, distributing comics, reviewing comics, storing comics... whatever. If you make money and it's related to comics, you're in the comic industry. But there is this subset which is the community and it is an awful, awful place, where you have to live in fear of your so-called friends well into late-middle age. Well into where you should be thinking about retirement you have to worry 'oh my gosh is Sally gonna know I spoke to Emily? Oh I better tell KElly that Diamond and Sierra are the real--" Oh my God. Fourties. Fifties. Sixties. And you gotta cowtow to this absolute nonsense. And your reward? There's no reward! You just get to keep being poor and scared all - the - time. Y'know I y'know, I was telling this friend who I spoke to you again.. oh my god this is- 'm getting so much anxiety from this. THis is a totally empty parking lot and somebody just stopped, like, right in front of me and then another guy's... this is how cartel hits happen! Augh... As soon as I started getting anxious they left. They're all on their walkie-talkies... "We'll get him later". But anyway, we know the industry. We see the fear. We don't want to live in fear. We don't have to 'allies' who will turn on us at the drop of a hat and we don't want to be poor. We don't want to be Mean Girls 2. I don't even want to watch it, I still haven't seen the first one... It's a pretty self-explanatory movie. You say the title, you pretty much know every single thing that's going to happen - I think Im igight have seen half of it one time wheren it was on cable... but... okay, I guess I made all of my points. But just to reiterate, I'm doing my own thing, I am definitely in the industry, I'm definitely a professional... um, you can't really do anything that... oh- by the way, you can compete with me but you can't try to destroy me because there's no legal backing to it and you'll probably end up in federal court if you do.... Not talking about anyone in particular.
Um, but, uh, so for whatcha people do out there is y'know honestly... you gotta look yourself in the mirror and say "what age am I? How many more years do I have in me, and what am I getting out of this?" Yeah if you kinda gotta pretend to go along with the flow you're making 80,90,100 thousand dollars, Marvel's giving you 6-8 books a year . You got some money saved, youcan go on vacation... play along get along. No skin off my nose if you do that. But if you're in poverty... and you have no stability in your life, and you're afraid of your own friends, come on over to the dark side - I know that is a dead meme from six years ago I don't care... sometimes.. hey sometimes dead memes still have some life in them. So anyway... that's it! Thanks for watching! Subscribe, make sure you're still suscribed, hit that notification button, make sure you check out that indiegogo and are signed up.
