Nuns with Guns posted:The D&DGate thing fell flat because there was no real weight of public figures behind it. And the guy leading the push is an unlikable rear end in a top hat with fans that are too crusty to use Twitter or YouTube. (Though I guess that didn't stop the D&D dev team from recruiting him for a paid playtest of 5e to buy his endorsement of it.) He's busy embedding himself in comicsgate now and nobody is giving him the time of day. The difference is that WotC immediately took a huge steaming poo poo on Hamhocks and made it clear that the behavior isn't acceptable Unlike marvel

Midnight Voyager posted:being face to face just lets them sexually ASSAULT instead of just harassing. If you think being face to face makes them back down, you'd be mistaken when there are multiple lovely faces and one woman to gang up on. Here's a story from the 40k crowd. Side bar this is surprisingly not from the incredibly terrible 40k crowd, it's malifaux, which has a generally less lovely company and crowd behind it Which makes this even more depressing for me Edit cool the co creator of Malifaux sucks farts I'm good with not giving them more money

X-O posted:The post above literally says you can reply however you like. I'm not sure it can be made any clearer. By saying that telling Nazis to gently caress off isn't harassment, in as many words. Since that's what got your undies in a twist last time and lead to you closing that thread and restarting it instead of just, I dunno, not telling queer people to ignore people being lovely On a scale of one to ten being more concerned about preserving a civil discourse than the feelings of marginalized people in the face of people who are at best apathetic to their existence is the dumbest thing you could do BENGHAZI 2 fucked around with this message at 00:01 on Oct 16, 2018 |

No because it's not a systematic explanation of something as insane as SovCits, its just a guy saying that Dickie sucks poo poo it's not even as good as the Maddox lawsuit where the other guys lawyer filed a brief where he did like a bunch of acrostics spelling out cuck and making fun of the other lawyer and poo poo

rkajdi posted:I mean, isn't the one weird trick just "Hit them in the wallet"? These guys pretty obviously don't have permanent deep pockets and don't have the talent to get stuff out on their own, so making them radioactive enough that the big two won't touch them and social media no platform them seems like enough to make sure that they don't get to spread their poison. And it seems like at least the big two are on board with this (though also screwing over decent authors who engage with Comicsgate) and social media is trying to at least sweep the alt right under the rug. He's not a fan of deplatforming

Madkal posted:Bringing Lee into the conversation does add a weird dimension to CG. They talk about going back to the comics were when they were younger, and the misplaced belief that comics were non-political back in the good old days, but if you look at Lee (and others) output during their peak you see that Lee and Kirby created Black Panther, X-Men comics were a stand in for minorities, Spiderman was just a regular shlub trying to do the right thing for others etc. The stories being pumped out by Marvel during Lee's tenure were about acceptance and tolerance. Obligatory

Vince MechMahon posted:Her justification for it, which was essentially "I was being an ignorant idiot who didn't realize I'm not an indie DIY artist anymore (despite being exactly that, technically) and due to my success shouldn't be acting like I'm still couch surfing in the early Dresden Dolls days," and then paying everyone and it never happening again is all perfectly reasonable. Honestly anyone who still brings it up years later is probably just a misogynist and should be featured in this thread, but not for the reasons they think and are causing them to post right now. Lmbo no it was a really lovely thing and in the context of Neil signal boosting people trying to raise money for the master rear end it is perfectly reasonably to bring up Fake edit gently caress it I'm leaving that auto correct

Jedit posted:Yeah, honestly folks, I wasn't even thinking of how it placed in the context of this thread. And Gaiman's been stealing for years - when he was at the peak of his acclaim for creativity in the early to mid 90s he wasn't just reinterpreting classical stories but contemporary as well. He put practically the entire of Cancelled Comics Cavalcade into The Sandman, and I much preferred Coraline when it was called The Thief of Always and Clive Barker wrote it. Lmbo that's why Jupiter's Legacy is good

Ornamented Death posted:This is not an uncommon occurrence in fiction, honestly. Lots of mid-list authors make decent money ghost-writing for other, more famous authors and never get any credit. The writers I've talked to that have done ghost-writing typically don't harbor any ill will towards the person on the other side of the transaction. It's mostly fans that seem to get upset. It's lovely in comics when there's already books thAt are story by x written by y that do fine I'm more likely to read those than a ghost written book with no actual writer credit

The issue about Flash being venom was really good because it was very deliberately framed as "we broke up, you saw someone else, we're together again, and I'm still kind of dealing with the fact that you miss him" The whole run is fantastic because it is in fact the gayest comic

Dawgstar posted:The rise of jumping straight to 'I HOPE YOU DIE' when two people don't smooch because fans have elaborately constructed reasons that exist only in their head that they should will never stop being weird. And, yeah, I know it happens in all media everywhere. A friend has stories about soap opera forums that would curl one's hair. Although the record lately was for Netflix's Voltron, where people insisted there was essentially a Snyder Cut where their ship DID happen. The Voltron thing is a whole other kettle of worms tho, because what happened there was people decided a character was gay, the show teased it, then they announced it was going to be official, and the characters partner was on screen for like two minutes and got murdered

I've never seen him have any ties to CG and the fact that he still gets work from both of the Big Two means that's probably right as they have both distanced themselves from anyone with any ties to CG. He was doing old lady Harley, which wrapped up last week, I don't remember if he's doing the main book

Tokyo Drift is at least fun, if bad, and the first is an okay action movie, if of its time. F4 is good, though it's definitely a transitory movie into what the series becomes. Tokyo Drift is flawless
