just a bunch of different people doing odd projects

2018-07-20 07:16:39 UTC  

That kind of crowdfunding can work. It's not about the product at that point. It's the message.

2018-07-20 07:17:22 UTC  

and it's working, because some dummies at marvel started freaking out about it like they are the bosses of comic books

2018-07-20 07:17:32 UTC  

Streisand effect

2018-07-20 07:17:36 UTC  

You'll have to fill me in what exactly you're thinking about.

2018-07-20 07:17:45 UTC  

Ah Streisand effect.

2018-07-20 07:17:56 UTC  

The ultimate fingertrap in PR.

2018-07-20 07:19:11 UTC  

I'm somewhat ill-informed, I just know that a youtube channel called "Diversity & Comics" started doing a dumb half-assed stream where he criticized and had a laugh at what marvel and DC have been putting out (DC somewhat less)

2018-07-20 07:19:15 UTC  

and it exploded

2018-07-20 07:20:25 UTC  

the guy was a failed comic artist I think, but he LOVED comics and it really came through in his videos

2018-07-20 07:21:52 UTC  

but when the guy got a few thousand subs, some of the people at Marvel started getting worried, because comics are doing so shit that a bad youtube channel kinda overshadows them by quite a bit

2018-07-20 07:23:37 UTC  

but they kept trying this bullshit with the guy, he's a honorably discharged marine? I think? so the SJWs AT MARVEL said "AW HEY LET'S TRY TO GIVE THE GUY PTSD!!!1!" because they are a very tolerant people

2018-07-20 07:23:56 UTC  

Well that's just cruel.

2018-07-20 07:24:10 UTC  

and when he said "even I could make a better comic" they said "well go for it, racist"

2018-07-20 07:24:40 UTC  

so he made an indiegogo that started to go crazy

2018-07-20 07:26:03 UTC  

so MARK WAID started saying shit, and it looks a lot like he intimidated ANTARCTIC PRESS out of publishing the comic by making these fucked-up guilt-by-association accusations, and they dropped it

2018-07-20 07:26:11 UTC  

which didn't help them at all lol

2018-07-20 07:26:23 UTC  

I think it hit a third of a million?

2018-07-20 07:26:56 UTC  

like wow it looks weird when I try to type it out

2018-07-20 07:27:21 UTC  

I don't even LIKE comics, but DAMN

2018-07-20 07:27:25 UTC  

million dollar extreme

2018-07-20 07:28:09 UTC  

and I know it wasn't just Mark Waid, the fanboys just HATED that this indiegogo was taking off, like self-awareness, OMG

2018-07-20 07:28:50 UTC  

Thanks for the write up.

2018-07-20 07:29:06 UTC  

sorting through drama is really hard

2018-07-20 07:29:18 UTC  

I try

2018-07-20 07:29:25 UTC  

Yeah. Sounds like a good example of ****ing people off so they decided to send a message by dumping some cash.

2018-07-20 07:29:41 UTC  

Best of luck for these guys though. Sounds like they're getting it pretty hard.

2018-07-20 07:30:01 UTC  

I think he's ok, he's got a few things going

2018-07-20 07:30:20 UTC  

everything they try to do to him, only helps him

2018-07-20 07:30:51 UTC  

but damn, let nerds buy their shit, I'm mystified at how we got here

2018-07-20 07:31:27 UTC  

This is how SJW works, unfortunately.

2018-07-20 07:31:36 UTC  

Look into the humanities departments in the 90s.

2018-07-20 07:32:30 UTC  

*The Closing of the American Mind* was the first sign. And that was 1987.

2018-07-20 07:32:54 UTC  

I can barely keep up with it

2018-07-20 07:33:21 UTC  

Yeah. I have an issue with social media where it can be really hard for people to get caught up in stuff.

2018-07-20 07:33:36 UTC  

It's badly disorganized. Reddit is better than most. But even that has problems.

2018-07-20 07:34:17 UTC  

Wikipedia in theory is the place, but that's...difficult.

Other wikis almost never seem to stay updated or have their own problems.

2018-07-20 07:36:06 UTC  

oh God, wikimedia is corrupt as all fuck

2018-07-20 07:37:21 UTC  

hot tip: if you take donations, don't take pictures of your clique flashing stacks of cash and drinking wine

2018-07-20 07:38:09 UTC  

and the edit wars will always go to whoever has absolutely no life, which tends to be cliques of SJWs
