It was never going to court anyways I’m sure, Dickie was always planning on backing down I’m sure.

It also fits in with his "I'm oppressed" narrative if he loses, suddenly it's not just Waid, but the "big mean US liberal court system" that oppresses him.

Yeah that’s my guess. This whole thing is pretty much win win for him; if he backs down, Waid once again bullied him and used his wealth and industry friends to do it, and Dickie is the brave underdog who did his best and anyways here’s the new indiegogo campaign please give Dickie more money to own the libs.

It’s possible he’s dumb enough to try and ride this out and actually does manage to ride this out long enough to ruin himself, but I’m betting that his plan was to drum up support and the success of Waid’s campaign is just going to galvanize the chuds on the other side.

“We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere. When human lives are endangered, when human dignity is in jeopardy, national borders and sensitivities become irrelevant. Wherever men and women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must - at that moment - become the center of the universe.”

Leftists hate centrists because being centrist is a privileged position that just helps the far right exist. Being a centrist doesn’t mean you’re a nazi, but it definitely means you’re ok with Nazis existing.

EVS is a legit great artist, but he’s not distinctive at all, just good at the DC house style. Like when Allred or Burnham are drawing a book you know it right away, with EVS it could be one of dozens of competent but easily replaced artists

I'm reading some old (1980's) Batman comics and in the issue I am at Batman is tracking down some serial killers who kill women because feminism is challenging their masculinity. They complain about how women are making men weak and such, and I am wondering if these are the comics chuds want to go back to when they say they want to go back to when comics weren't political.

Not really, like most right wing/chud stuff they want to go back to something that never actually existed

I guess I was reading the pronoun thing with benefit of the doubt, where it came off more as terminally liberal than anything, but yeah I can see how reading it from a trans perspective would sound like erasure. Thank you for the involved answer, it did help

And yeah Dick Meyers still sued. That's where the money went, most likely. Covering his legal expenses.

It pleases me to no end that the MAKE COMICS CISHETWHITE AGAIN people will only have Ironsights to read, with two failed (Jawbreakers, Alt-Hero) projects to their name.

Mmm, yes, such amazing proof of how GREAT their comics are.

That's not their fault though, it's those damned SJWs so please just give them more money and be patient

Oh yeah, that's cool, because it represents an extreme response to an extreme situation.



He also published an account of the time he wanted to beat up a toddler because the toddler was mean to his daughter, and another of the time he had a dream about beating up a journalist who disagree with him.

It’s also worth noting here that this is all said by a thin, reedy professor who sounds like Kermit the frog. You know, real alpha type

Looking through the THANKS FOR SUPPORTING LONESTAR donor page at the back, sure is a very long list (with a bunch of side-by-side repeats) of dudes! I counted and out of 1123 names in the Thank You Supporters section, there were... 36 traditional female names in there if we include Lola Lovelace and Godiva Mahoney, and also count "Mitch and Betty Breitweiser" (the only two person line) as a female contributor.

The vast majority of these supporters don't appear to have any social media (Comicsgate or otherwise) under the names given to IndieGoGo, so we may never know if the Freddies or Kelseys or Rileys on the list are dudes or not, much less IRRADIATED REDNECK or ALBINO THUNDERBUNS or SINISTA SMIRK or OATHKEEPER 3P.

Even if we are very generous in our assumptions, there is no way the number of people thanked approaches 10% female.

But this is a movement for everyone, you guys

There’s also no way whatsoever that those are all individual people, I would bet money a good number of them are people donating multiple times under different names

What makes it delightful is EVS' ongoing narrative that (as of now) he left DC because he actually wanted to and could go back anytime he wanted, but he just doesn't need to. (And the last very part is broadly true while the grift lasts.)

I mean he could, but that dastardly Waid keeps making phone calls!

The sad thing is that you could make a book out of all the explicitly political panels of old comics and make those guys read them and they still wouldn't change their mind because that would require them to admit that they're the ones screaming in rage at tiny black children going to school and not Patrick Henry saying "give me liberty or give me death!"

I usually just post the Captain America 1 cover when people complain about comics suddenly becoming political
