The leader of Comicsgate, Ethan Van Sciver (
@FROG on KF, though he hasn't logged in in forever) is engaged in a (mostly one-sided) war with Rippaverse creator (and bane of Dick Materson's existence) Eric July for some time now. It is believed this is because Eric July has smashed EVS's sales records with his own comic series, and deeply wounded Ethan's ego by doing so outside the auspices of CG. This has even gone as far as him aiding Dick Masterson, Vito, Riley, Mint Salad, and others, in their crusade against July.
A few days ago, Ethan did a stream in which he argued that people attacking Vito are no different than when people at D.C. Comics tried to cancel him for "being a Nazi." Among other things, he explicitly states that if Vito is a pedo, it's none of our (meaning CG's) business.
Then, last night, some degenerate apparently heard this Vito sympathetic horseshit, and worked up the courage to suggest to Ethan that a comics artist by the name of Dave Sim, who had been seemingly gatekept out of CG for grooming a 14 year old girl a long time ago, should be invited in because the age of consent laws are bullshit anyways (his argument, none mine). This leads to very awkward situation where EVS immediately ends his stream.
