Ah Streisand effect.
The ultimate fingertrap in PR.
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)
and it exploded
the guy was a failed comic artist I think, but he LOVED comics and it really came through in his videos
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
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
Well that's just cruel.
and when he said "even I could make a better comic" they said "well go for it, racist"
so he made an indiegogo that started to go crazy
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
which didn't help them at all lol
I think it hit a third of a million?
like wow it looks weird when I try to type it out
I don't even LIKE comics, but DAMN
million dollar extreme
and I know it wasn't just Mark Waid, the fanboys just HATED that this indiegogo was taking off, like self-awareness, OMG
Thanks for the write up.
sorting through drama is really hard
I try
Yeah. Sounds like a good example of ****ing people off so they decided to send a message by dumping some cash.
Best of luck for these guys though. Sounds like they're getting it pretty hard.
I think he's ok, he's got a few things going
everything they try to do to him, only helps him
but damn, let nerds buy their shit, I'm mystified at how we got here
This is how SJW works, unfortunately.
Look into the humanities departments in the 90s.
*The Closing of the American Mind* was the first sign. And that was 1987.
I can barely keep up with it
Yeah. I have an issue with social media where it can be really hard for people to get caught up in stuff.
It's badly disorganized. Reddit is better than most. But even that has problems.
Wikipedia in theory is the place, but that's...difficult.
Other wikis almost never seem to stay updated or have their own problems.
oh God, wikimedia is corrupt as all fuck
hot tip: if you take donations, don't take pictures of your clique flashing stacks of cash and drinking wine
and the edit wars will always go to whoever has absolutely no life, which tends to be cliques of SJWs
I loved this
