Incessantly repeating these deliberate lies doesn't make them true or you correct.
Most or many CGers probably voted for Trump. Despite that, making Trump comics seemed short sighted, to me in 2018, for creators who are trying to build an indie comics scene. I was speaking of Chuck Dixon. I felt the creator of Bane should be creating something that might last, rather than trying to get Steve Bannon's attention with goofy Trump worshiping pamphlets. (I didn't give a shit about Tim Lim.) Trump comics have a limited shelf life, and without me promoting them, had a very limited audience. But by all means, make exploitation shit if you want.
Turns out, Tim Lim finally stopped being a hysterical woman, and took my advice. No longer making Trump shit, his numbers are finally growing.
The "Pride Is A Sin" incident was the 4th or 5th super-provocative Mike S Miller troll, and I'd had enough of his bullshit. He's an asshole that can't get out of his own way, and sabotages his own success. I was tired of answering for him where his activities brought my channel negative attention.
All of this shit is now 3, going on 4 years old. Obviously, in retrospect, I was right all along.
"No, I insist that this is bad, and that it meets Jon Malin's criticisms of bad artsy comics bullshit."
Gotcha, Mister Dongs. Malin isn't here defending Narwhal or Zack.
The sheer amount of hubris in these statements is mind blowing.
"Yeah, I gatekept Tim, even though nothing he did was violative of the basic bitch principle of CG (being anti-SJW). However, since BH and KA are selling so well, I'm gonna take credit for that because he totally had no talent or future before I "corrected" him and sent him on his way."
I can honestly see why people don't like you
@FROG.
You fucked up by gatekeeping Tim. The man has obvious talent. KA is a runaway anti-SJW success that doesn't have the Comicsgate branding. It's a pity that you didn't just let him do what he wanted, because then he'd be a bright spot in
@Mister Dongs otherwise depressing spreadsheet.
Conversely, you are fucking up by giving unconditional support to Zach. 499 looks like dogshit, and you know it.
I don't mind people making mistakes, but you should at least have the decency to own up to them. This constant doubling down is not a good look.
I hate to defend Frog on this, because he used WC to harasses to Lim without ever owning up to their vile tactics.
That said, Lim was not some innocent.
I'm tired of talking about something three four years old, but Frog's lies combined with partial retellings necessitate correction.
Lim/Ethan Faggotry Timeline!
*Tim Lim and a group of Antarctic Indies see CG as a place ripe for grifting. They descend, gaining much needed support from the original gators.
*Ethan joins and brings his mainstream pro buddies. This aggravates Tim Lim, especially because Ethan's vision of CG is
apolitical at the time.
*Ethan is doing his bread tubbing, when people start using him. People superchat and ask him 'are Trump books CG?' He answers honestly, at the time, no they do not fit his definition.
*Lim is already pissed that Ethan is sucking up pay piggies. He starts back chatting and trying to arrange Ethan's downfall.
*This gayop fails. Lim is humiliated and discredited.
*Someone calling himself the Glove begins a gayop, dropping DMs of private back room CG chats to cause discord and division.
*Someone reveals that Lim is the eponymous glove.
*Ethan, at the same time, either approached or was approached by a group of grifters calling themselves WC. WC proceeds to harass both Tim and anyone who even mehs in Ethan's direction. Among their many acts were doxxing, sexual harassment and threats of violence, constant misinformation and lies. The level of Ethan's involvement in this activity
is still unknown.
*Lim continues to carry a grudge, as does Ethan. Both snipe and poison the other on a low key basis.
Let's just hope Chuck Dixon can save our Zack, that's his only hope now - Dixon, Nolan and Stallone can save this kid, pull him out of this. I hope!
Chuck has terrible instincts as a publisher. He couldn't understand why his Batman editors didn't want him turning 'Tec into a pirate book, he's admitted he'd rather write shit like western and pirate books than superheroes, and he tends to prefer Vertigo tier content in general.
Chuck was never 90s Image. I love much of his work, but he did best with good editors that reigned him in.
I don't quite get why Tim Lim is getting hate for parodies?
CG is currently going with parodies of Stealing Solo, Beardzzker, and Dirtworm Dug, and that's all off the top of my head.
KA, has awesome art, great story, and Lim seems to be keeping out of the drama scene. (I could be mistaken here, apologies if I'm wrong)
Because he was a cunt and hyper partisan. The mainstream tried to portray CG as a hyper partisan thing, which it mostly wasn't.
You are. He's been more low key. But as we discovered with the Earnst drops, he's still causing trouble. He's just smarter about it than Ethan/WC.
