That was the thing. The only response, like their instinctual response, to all of this pressure from everywhere about doxxing was to doxx people.

I guess in relevant news to this IRT Comicsgate Hambley put out a video being like "KIWI FARMS BEING TAKEN DOWN IS CENSORSHIP GOING TOO FAR" after they, uh, SWATted him and forced him to move, because he's a craven grifter who sucks poo poo at his job and lifestyle and can't afford to alienate the people who are whipping wrapped rolls of change at him to hurt him that he then picks up and puts in his wallet. Your bullies are getting blown up so hard international alphabet agencies can just net some easy arrests, you don't have to lick their boots, but he can't afford to go out of line or he'll lose everything.

For real, I heard that a neonazi org in New Zealand suddenly found themselves adrift and under a lot more intense pressure when KF went down. This is a net good for the entire world. I hope that this serves as precedent for any other service that might be even vaguely considering hosting them to not do that.

Of all the right-wing chuds who milk diversity in anything, the Quartering is the loving worst. He believes in nothing but making himself money and what makes it all the worse is that his videos are legit the laziest loving poo poo I've ever seen. It is MIND BOGGLING that there are hundreds of thousands of people watching his ten minute videos where he speaks as slowly as humanly possible, spends half of the time advertising his lovely coffee, and then will be unable to read articles.

He literally just tweets out “What should I make a video about today?” and then makes videos of him getting mad at an article he is reading for the first time. What a grift.

Said video was 12 minutes long and the first three was advertising a VPN so I'm glad he is at least consistent in his quality.

The coffee if I recall correctly is a white label brand (it's when a brand allows you to buy their product and relabel it as your own) and the original company is considered quite 'woke'.

Kiwi Farms apparently had a 600+ page thread on him which I think is really funny to even bring up defending that website when they hate your guts and probably want you dead.

We don't need to have that dialogue because it's obvious, trivial, and has already been had a thousand times.

Small correction, white label usually means the manufacturer is the one doing relabeling on behalf of the client; they sell the labeling services on the product.

The dude who created Panda from Body Bags is a sexist piece of poo poo? I never would have guessed.

Afua seems to have brushed it off (as much as she can in a public way anyway) and to anyone who isn't familiar with her work, she's absolutely awesome and does great loving work.

If it helps I didn't even know Pearson was still active in the industry aside from doing commissions or something like that.

Jason Pearson is, like, a C-tier fill-in artist at best. I know his work but it’s never any reason to get excited for work. That poo poo he said is incredibly embarrassing and sexist and racist. But obviously y’all knew that already. I do enjoy the shade about his work at the end of the article, though.

I've been reading comics for years and I don't think I have any idea who Jason Pearson is. I may have seen his work before but it wasn't anything memorable to the point that I know his name. I've seen and enjoyed Afua's in the last couple years though.

Afua did the in-show comic for Lovecraft Country (and promotional artwork) and that alone feels like more than Pearson ever did at any point of his career.

Jason Pearson: From my pov- You are new to my industry. I Joined in 1990 when I was 19. I'm 32 years in this Game. You? How Long?

Afua Richardson: so what. You're old. I couldn't be IN the industry in 1990 because i was 10 and in classical music.

Jason Pearson's art looks gritty and dull, like something stuck in the 90's

Pearson is a good artist with a unique style who never got allowed to do anything with it like so many other artists who only worked in the mainstream, and had only one or two really good story ideas of their own. It was a really good series. It was also only three issues and two one shots plus a handful of anthology shorts over twenty years. If he wanted to do anything more with it he had all the time in the world to work on it in his own; this was right at the start of the web as a comic medium.

I think a lot of these dudes who came up in the 90's either adapted to better writing and less spandex, or didn't and failed into either doing variant covers/fill-ins or grifting nazis while crying about how the SJW's ruined everything. It's like a reversal of all the old hands from the 60-80's who found themselves out of work in the 90's Holofoil Age because they couldn't or didn't want to adapt (I don't blame them).

I heard he mentioned before about suffering from bipolar disorder which affects his work output, which is awful and I hope he does get professional help if that’s the case, but if he has the foresight to recognize his diagnosis, he should also realize why he’s in the wrong on this.
