At least Ren found something to have a good sense of humor about this past week: https://twitter.com/RenfamousX/status/1118639388538429440 That's goddamn heartbreaking to see.

The Mantlo story is sad but the answer is universal healthcare funded by taxation, not 'folks should hope that their IP gets picked up by a super rich company 40 years down the line'. If Disney pays for his care it would be *nice*, but connecting the guy's health to the eventual lucrativeness of his products is a bad take.

Puppy Time posted:I... what the hell is he saying? When Ren announced she was doing an eight page story in an anthology (Dead Beats, on KS now!), That Umbrella Guy immediately went to overdrive complaining about it as CG will do. Where it gets twisted is for some reason along the way because Renfamous mentioned he had a kid he started screeching she was threatening his daughter and even called Child Protective Services (which she did not do and there's no evidence of) so the outrage train is in full swing with his followers threatening her and as she said last night it's moved past 'ha ha internet drama.' Does TUG believe it? Nah, probably not, but the more outrage he stokes the more they watch his livestreams and whatever. Another chud, Yellow Flash, has also chimed in because there's more than enough room on the train. (In the Technodrome of ComicsGate, TUG and Yellow Flash are the Bebop and Rocksteady.)

I have reported so many replies about guns and bullets and how people who threaten children deserve to be staring down the barrel of a gun, etc. it is seriously out of hand. These people are absurd and the only evidence they have of Ren “threatening a child” are two other people saying someone should call Child Protective Services. I am pretty worried she is going to get hurt. For the heinous crime of writing a short story in a comic book.

Of tangential interest, the Vic Mignogna lawsuit dropped and Beth Elderkin (who did an article on him for IO9) got a look at it and talked about in this thread: https://twitter.com/BethElderkin/status/1119197839610060800 In short, Vic doesn't seem to have anything past "I didn't do it." Naturally people are coming out of the woodwork to tell her how wrong she is, because Blackface Lawyer was drunk on YouTube and talked about it.

Especially if it’s a libel case, you not only have to prove they were wrong, but that they did it knowing they are wrong,

Elon Musk turned his Twitter avatar to Edward Elric just now as well, so who knows if it's related or just a lovely coincidence.

Doom Patrol is amazing and absolutely inclusive enough to tick people off. It does feature a drag queen beating up a federal agent.

The first episode of Doom Patrol was pretty bad, it was yet another mass produced low budget DC show throw out to see if it would stick on the wall. But yeah, this looks like a classic review bomb by people who have never actually watched it.

The design of Mr Nobody hurts my soul, as does every shred of the humor I've seen. I haven't managed to pull together the desire to watch more than trailers that made my entire body cringe. That's definitely review-bombing though.

Doom Patrol is really good, despite, for sure, some pretty clumsy trailers. The cast is great and the Danny the Street episode was a smarter, more faithful, and more heartfelt adaptation of Danny than I ever would have expected. I wonder what would make it, in particular, a target for review bombing-- it has pretty prominent queer characters, sure, but so does Umbrella Academy, and Legends of Tomorrow, and even Gotham, which, as far as I know, have not been similarly singled out.

Doom Patrol owns, and still has an 82% audience score despite a... yeah, suspicious number of half-star no comment reviews. I can almost guarantee the Danny episode kicked it off, wherever it's coming from.

Maybe if he had been a Roger rabbit style animated character? But that's gotta be beyond the budget.

One of the first responses to a picture of Jessica Cruz from JLA Vs. The Fatal Five I saw was 'why do all characters have to be female' so I absolutely buy Danny sending them off the deep end.

Don't they know Jessica Cruz was the creation of EVS, savior of comics, with absolutely no contribution whatsoever from anyone else. Her existence is absolute proof that EVS, savior of comics, is incapable of being racist or sexist.

Maybe the Doom Patrol review bomb is because the show portrays Nazis in a negative way. That might rub some people the wrong way.
