- In Praise of Shadows has 194K subs and 8.7m views
I really like that channel. I found it when it was pretty small when looking up videos about vintage horror paperbacks. He's pretty sjw (he mentioned cg being a harassment group in his latest video), but when he leaves politics out of it, his channel is solid.
I'm not enjoying your streams with Riceman. Neither of you even have 2K Youtube subs to your name,
Jon's close. I'm about 350 subs away.
a channel that is almost exactly the same age as yours, starting in July 2018. Now boasting 194K subs and 8.6m views. Think about those numbers, let them sink in - the channel is the same age as yours
A couple of his videos got shout outs from RL Stine. Definitely helped his growth.
He sounds like a soy fourteen year old.
Based of what he says in the videos, he might be around 25-30.
What I especially love is how this approach is 'soft Comicsgate', it's the kind of Comicsgate that can actually slip in under an SJW sympathizer's radar and change their thinking through carefully reasoned, thoughtful arguments.
I would like to get up to this guy's quality of videos, but here's the thing:

In Praise of Shadows does videos PROBABLY most likely because he wants to do videos.

I do videos just to market my books. I understand that the better the videos, the better it'll be to shill my books, but I just don't like making videos/have no interest in making videos. I was only ever on YouTube to sell my books--and if I could sell my books without doing YouTube, I would.

You have to be an extrovert to do YouTube, you have to be talkative, I've never been an extrovert or talkative, I've always liked to keep to myself. I don't think I have anything new to say or anything people care to hear. I feel like when I do videos, I'm just repeating things other people have said first.

EDIT: typo

Our Boudicca, she of the flaming titties, posted an hour long video a couple of days ago.


To her credit, our lady of perpetual boob burn has gotten markedly better at broadcasting, modulating her tone. Good job. Still, the stream struggles a little. The first third is stream sniping, boring, followed by a Nassar bit that falls flat, and ends with Testfy HD guesting.
Icky Vicky also got into a sperg fight with Jon of the Rice (who couldn't stay true to his "we're all on the same side" good behavior charade any longer) because Senor of the Rice called some guy on twitter a MAP:

This NAP guy nails it: Jon of the Rice needs everyone to acknowledge his victimhood (& "genius" writing 😅 ) & he gets pissed when he gets called out on his bs.

There was more--Bean from PA bitching about Nasser, people telling JDA "block me too"--but I can only take so much shit-flinging & autistic screeching. Who knew Pegston was so insightful about the bleating Hispanic voice? This one legit made me laugh:

He should change his name to Jon Dunning-Kruger. Stay deluded, Senor!

@NasserRabadi13 I'm not enjoying your streams with Riceman. Neither of you even have 2K Youtube subs to your name, and yet you're both filled with self-regard, sitting there preening yourselves. Taking turns to kiss Frog on his awful ring. It's horrible! I don't care about BeanFromPa, I don't want to look at a looping video of her! Zero out of ten, just based on that.

Whew that's quite the tl;dr autism. I'm very close! You can help and subscribe and come to the epic stream tonight with John C. Wright and Brian Niemeier. Probably the greatest confluence of high intelligence on a live stream you'll ever find and we'll have quite a discussion.

I like BeanFromPa. I told Nasser not to fight with her.
 
Remember God Loves, Man Kills?
I do remember it. The villain is an evil intolerant genocidal evangelist Christian bent on the eradication of illegals, blacks, gays, sorry mutants.

It's Claremont's thinly veiled "critique" of Christianity (or at least evangelical Christianity) as intolerant and bigoted.

As too his sequel, he wrote it over 20 years later and I fail to see how his revisions make the original work less SJW. It wasn't super subtle.

Watch Kitty call out a fellow activist for 'not being an ally' in the struggle. Intersectional politics at their finest. Thankfully the black woman realizes her place on the intersectional stack.

Magneto is on the side of angels in this story. "Their only crime -- that they had been born."

And Xavier is literally brainwashed by a televangelist into believing in Christ. (Chris is drawing a metaphor here)

Let's agree to disagree.
Certainly. I agreed to disagree when I said we see his writing differently in the first place. I think our disagreement boils down to nuance in definitions of what constitutes SJW works. We're arguing about definitions of a poorly defined relatively new term.

I suspect neither of us is wrong objectively. We simply see the term SJW from slightly different perspectives. We seem to agree substantially while we disagree about perspective.

Good conversation.

So @NasserRabadi13 and @TheCosmicWarrior are calling critics pedos and pretending it's cool to throw the accusation around because "it's just a joke". Imagine if people did the same sort of thing to JDA, say calling him a racist without cause. I'm sure a white nationalist like Jon (just kidding) wouldn't take offense and sperg out.

It all seems familiar.

If they'd just start kissing the ring I'd think the two of them were trying to fill the void left by War Campaign after EVS parted ways with them.

Wait...

Huh!

Well in the words of John C. Wright, ep-ep-EP-EP-stop-STOP:


Wise words that you could do well to live by, Riceman, heed them well.

The next time you're fluttering around Twitter dropping poo, think of those words. Have them echo in your head like Obi Wan Kenobi, but instead of saying "Use the Force, trust your feelings" it's saying "Ep-ep-EP-EP-stop-STOP."

Also for @ProblematicUser420:

We didn't call anyone a pedo. The dude's name was "N.A.P. Misfit", and I read it as "M.A.P. Misfit" as a joke. In fact, on my last stream, Jon and I explained that that dude is not a pedo, it was just a joke. We never even mentioned the word pedo, everyone else did. For all you know, we meant a literal map, as in directions. Geez.

We apologized. What more do you want from us?
 
It was a little more than an unfriendly jab. If nothing else, he should definitely change the handle. Between M.A.P. and W.A.P, just drop anything A.P.

Thanks for the template Pilule!

Nasser you're a baby raping shit stain.

Just kidding. Sorry.

I mean you guys are so up front and honest about this stuff that when Boudica started retweeting Jon of Rice's justifications for smearing someone as a pedo he deleted all the tweets.

1608164494332.png


It appears some of that justification was preserved for posterity though.

Apparently N.A.P. took Preston's side in one of JDA's totally sincere internet beefs autistic slap fights and that's reason enough to smear him as a pedophile.

You have so much reason to be proud of yourselves and your professionalism guys.

I can see why Bill Wilingham would be excited to get in on the warmth of this dumpster fire. He can be one of the "great CG writers" alongside you fucking clowns and Clint.

Hail Comics Gay.

:popcorn:

You're over 20 now. You could stop acting like a 12 yr old scumbag. Not so much with JDA. If a guy his age was capable of not acting like a retard he would have made the change decades ago.

Hope springs eternal for your autistic ass though Nasser.

Godspeed.

Tweet unavailable isn't deleted. I probably just have you blocked cuz you're a liar. Here's the "posterity" one you're posting.


I didn't delete anything except maybe one cuz it had a misspelling. This is a waste of time and it's shameful Vikki and a few dudes are trying to rile people up with nonsense cuz they're mad I'm refusing to fight with @FROG. These people really do dedicate their lives just to harassing him and I am just sorry I didn't see it sooner.

I made a couple of jab back tweets to their attacks then I blocked them all.

As far as more important things: John C. Wright is feeling a bit sick tonight so we're going to try to reschedule. I'm waiting on Brian to confirm next Wednesday instead.

I'm not on Twitter. How old are you Jon?

You went full War Campaign retard calling randos on the internet MAP because Preston hurt your feelings. Your the joke del Kabir Kumar.

If Ditko was still alive he'd be disgusted to have such a repulsive degenerate victim as a fan.

Have a great day.

It's actually pretty cool that Jon is having John C Wright on his livestream. The dude is one of my favorite writers, I especially like his short story stuff. Discovered him way back in the day when I read "Guest Law".
 
A few weeks ago I noticed that a couple of issues of Preston's Guinevere And The Divinity Factory were released on Comixology. Today they were joined by Kamen America
It got me thinking, so I looked around, trying to think of books that were A: more closely tied to comicsgate and B: actually - you know - completed and released. Of the very short list that I could think of, I found only one - an obscure title called T-Bird and Throttle, a crowdfunded 54-page book and mini issue #0 that were fulfilled in 2018 and then promptly fell off my radar if not the face of the earth.

I'm curious about the barriers to having your book distributed on Comixology. Is it an 'SJW' platform? They have a BLM category but you might say that about any big business these days. If a Trump fanboy and the guy trying to claim the 'comicshate' trademark can have their books accepted there, why no Cyberfrogs or Graveyard Shifts? Does the boycott come from comicsgate's direction, like those dumbass "comicsgate only" and "Kickstarter is the devil" declarations? Or is it a little more cynical than that, and has to do with that division between catering to those youtube stans and catering to comic readers?

ComicsGate has for the most part been against Digital Comics in general. There was considerable derision toward digital from a particularly prominent CG member and then strangely almost everyone fell in line.

I think digital can be a viable option for most people in CG but there are a few at the top who don't see the value and campaigned against digital for fear of piracy. Not sure why pirates wouldn't just scan originals and share them if the book was worth the effort.

Me too. I've got a leatherbound edition of his Awake in the Nightland. He's seriously one of the greatest writers of our time. A wonderful person too. Really tight friends with his family. I think we'll do a monthly stream and we are rescheduled for the 23rd for now. Thanks for being there!

Seeing as I'm friends with his business partner who published him the last 30 years and his nephew, that's quite a stretch. Sorry you posted fake "deleted tweets". Just take the L.

Yeah, Ditko always seemed like the kind of guy who would respect a guy who trades in petty internet drama and shameless self promotion to sell his books. That was reclusive Steve's goto right? Couple that with the way you show others respect smearing them as MAP's for cheap clicks if they don't take your side or the way you run down Doug Ernst because he's so disgusted he want's nothing to do with you anymore and I can see how it'd be a big stretch to think a hard core objectivist and a man of principle would have a hard time not loving a sleazy character assassinating huckster opportunist like yourself. You're a character straight out of Atlas Shrugged. I'm sure he would love the way you play the victim card to justify shitty behavior. You and Ditko seem to share so much where values are concerned.

I didn't post "fake deleted tweets". I posted what I saw when I looked through Vikki's TL today. You obviously protect your tweets at some level for some reason. Why, I wouldn't know.
