Space Fish posted:Is there any plausible deniability left in Jones's case? As in, he accepted a check to do a cover and didn't look into who was signing it? Or is he well and truly among the chuds? He seems to have been on several Comicsgate streams and hangs out with EVS a lot...

thetoughestbean posted:I went a bit through his Twitter feed and he never once mentions manga. Most of the time he even brings up media it’s to declare that “woke” media is bad. That reminds me of a very similar-feeling Twitter thread where a guy had a 20 tweet thread about how the new show had Murdered Gundam and then it got to the end and it was like "Soon I'll watch the first episode."

I feel like if you're gonna write a fawning post about someone you saw for five seconds on the internet, maybe you should do maybe do a cursory googling first. Just to make sure you aren't being a complete dumbass.

Oasx posted:Musk/Rogan/RFK and even Peterson all seem to partly appeal to people who are only superficially interested in politics or don’t engage much with social media, at least not enough to know much about how these people really are. I am, because those dudes are pretty open about their abhorrent beliefs. Millar would have to be extremely stupid to believe RFK's figleaf of running as a Democratic. And the figleaf isn't just for RFK, but also for his followers. They aim for the 'Independents' who are just GOP conservatives temporarily embarrassed by the party (until it is time to vote anyways).

Uthor posted:I see people who don't live in America not understanding the details of who popular figures are. If you’re enthusiastic enough to back them like that, then you can be judged by the beliefs of the people you back. Opopanax posted:I remember Millar throwing support behind someone awful a year or two but then he was like "whoops didnt realize they were awful" a few days later, does anyone know what the hell I'm talking about I remember that too. I get the impression he did it to avoid blowback from backing someone awful. So he’ll probably do it here too if people get onto him.

CaligulaKangaroo posted:They also were big supporters of the Open Secret documentary, which is all about sexual abuse in Hollywood. I don’t know if the producers of that were already QAnon-sympathetic, or if they got pulled into it, but as soon as folks like Posobiec and Cernovich started trying to make it a part of their narrative, they fell right in. They've signed on with Rippaverse, which is, from my understanding, a super right-wing Comicsgate-affiliated brand.

B33rChiller posted:It's not that surprising that a post appearing to solicit sympathy evokes memories of a very public racist rant. It definitely didn't help that Peter David defended his racist tirade before someone finally told him what a moron he was enough that it made him apologize. Also his apology was still pretty racist (insisting that what the blatantly racist and lying tour guide told him was 100% true and other things) but it was a start. I'd rather him not die either, but I can understand why people would still be less than happy with him.

Samovar posted:What was this? It was a webcomic about the horrors of banning 'beating the poo poo out of kids', literally. The general premise is that South Korea was great, bullying didn't exist! Then they banned beating children and suddenly it exploded out of control! In South Korea bullying is a massive problem and beating children was legal until a bit before the webcomic started It was always pretty hosed up with the general premise, but it also tended to go places, usually horribly sexist and anti-feminist places. But the last storyline before it got canned was about a Korean-American teacher at a school who discovers that the poor innocent pure-blood South Korean students were being mercilessly bullied by a half-black half-Korean student, so he told the students about how racist black people are in America and the chapter ended with him screaming the n-word in the student's face. A twitter user pointed this out before the English translation was made and everyone INCLUDING the Korean side went "Wait, what?" and the webcomic was cancelled basically immediately. The author tried to claim that he was actually misunderstood, it was suppose to show how mixed-race students suffer from bullying and racism... by, yaknow, having the mixed student be the big evil bully and about get a lesson in how racist mixed students are and was about to be beaten to a pulp.
