One of them, TUG (That Umbrella Guy, whose avatar is Rorschach from Watchmen with the RE Umbrella logo on his face), has just last year accidentally doxxed his real name, found out his wife was cybering with people behind his back and spent a great deal of time yelling about a person who's been helping to lead the anti-CG charge maliciously destroyed his mailbox despite her living some states away. His mailbox. Yeah, they've been fighting Vic's war for him and that's his front line.

I don't know anything about comicsgate and I'm kinda afraid to ask, but I'm going to assume it's about people being garbage to minorities over Comic Book characters, isn't it?

Basically it's like ever other alt-right thing that purports to "Take <thing> back to it's roots before evil SJWs killed it." What's hilarious about comics gate in particular is they all have to ignore that the comics in the "good old days" were decidedly antifa. Jack Kirby had some very choice things to say about nazis.

I love the idea that every day Kirby would kill exactly four nazis. Some days he'd be done by Breakfast and some he'd be out until midnight, but he always got his four. Julias posted:It's basically just gamergate for the western comic book industry yeah, hating on things like Marvel and DC trying to appeal to minorities and any criticism of right wing politics/support of left wing politics. If I remember, the main focus was on the blasphemy of using the tradition of legacy characters to let someone who wasn't a straight white guy be somebody.

Yeah, how they make their case seem reasonable to an outsider is to frame it as an outrage based on a half-truth: Even I would, in general, agree that it'd be less creatively bankrupt to make a new character that is a minority instead of cribbing on the name recognition of an old and established hero. However, you realize how disingenuous this argument is when they don't apply that same logic to the various incarnations of a character that are all white (the various Robins, The Flashes, Spider Women, etc.), and also recognize that instead of just saying "that's dumb" and boycotting the comic, they are going out of their way to harass and attack creators and supporters of these changes. It's the common strategy of alt-right adjacent indoctrination by getting somebody to side with you on a reasonable point, and then slowly warp your worldview to be in line with theirs.

That just reminds me of the whole "make captain america a secret nazi" storyline they did a while back. They were pretty clearly trying to make outrage to make people mad and buy the comic books and they uh, didn't. They were just pissed about it and it just ended up being a fake captain america.

Also the sequel to Civil War they did because the movie was coming out where they made the character they were trying to push as an A-list heroine into a literal fascist who was presented as being in the objective right for what she did. Like she literally tried to get the Arab-American heroine who idolized her to assist her in putting people into prison camps.

Not to be pedantic, but Kamala Khan is Pakistani-American.

This reminds me of that line from Kreia in Knights of the Old Republic II talking about the alliance between Darth Nihilus and Darth Sion. About how a bond forged out of mutual hatred is the most fragile thing.

Comicsgate is dumb and lovely, yes, but here's the tweet and adding the false bit about "some of them had visible cleavage" is demonstrably false and a weird thing to add a lie about. https://twitter.com/HeatherAntos/status/891004244089810945

Somewhat more related, Nick had a thing where it sounded like he was drunkenly saying he didn't know if he was going to go to Anime Matsuri this year because they haven't been talking to him for months. Imagine being ghosted by the biggest chud-ridden con in America.

What's infuriating about AM is that they have a terrible reputation, especially with regard to Japanese guests, and they somehow keep convincing fairly high-profile voice actresses and industry pros to go to their con. I really wish the event could have any accountability ever.
