Just to confirm: This is still the thread to talk about general industry issues like labor problems etc, yes?

How is that bank fraud? There's no laws against having multiple bank accounts, and I really doubt the US government gives a poo poo about you paying whatever GFM's fees are. At most it might be a GFM TOS violation.

i guess it's just a motion to dismiss on jurisdiction grounds but contains quotes from a lot of lovely tweets dickies made, i havent read it all myself
I read through the 21-page doc (going through the 84-page one now), and yeah, it's almost entirely just a motion to dismiss based on that Dickie filed in Texas which has no jurisdiction over Waid since he doesn't live or work there, owns no property, and does no business specifically in Texas while both his and Dickie's posts have been directed to general audiences, not specifically to Texas. There's some discussion of Dickie's Twitter and YouTube, but they're largely immaterial to the request. It's not actually that interesting.

EVS is a really great artist, and is by far the most talented that's openly supported CG. I'm glad he's decided to gently caress off and do his lovely indie comic, though, since it means I don't have to worry that he'll work on a comic I might be interested in.

Here's a Kickstarter comics anthology dedicated as against hate. Lots of big names, and apparently anything earned will be dedicated to SPLC.

Nah, Jabba is clearly Pepe, so Leia is the SJW. Which she literally is.

In skimming through that Twitter thread, Death Ray seems to be giving himself any amount of credit at all, despite the fact that without him being there, CG would have imploded exactly the same.

Maher is racist, homophobic, transphobic and I'm very willing to believe endless Mike's assertion that he's misogynist, so if you willingly listen to his stuff on the regular maybe you're just a piece of poo poo

During the 2016 campaign he claimed that Hillary was crying to "get her way" and when that football player choked out Tila Tequila his response was something like "I'm surprised no one had choked that bitch sooner."

The idea that people saying "actually, no, queer people shouldn't be put to death" will drive people into the arms of "they should, along with black and brown people and Jews" is completely laughable, and you have to be crazy to think this is the case.

This.

That's also a really poorly worded tweet because I thought it implied the course was offered through University of Phoenix which did raise my eyebrows a little.

TBF for-profit universities are pretty garbo, but I don't really think MasterClass is pretending that you get something like a degree at the end. They're just fun classes you might learn something in, like taking a pottery class at a local place, only online.

But yeah, I don't really think Gaiman is doing anything wrong by not just teaching a thing for free, nor do I think $180 is remotely unreasonable a year of classes by world-renowned artists and experts (and $90 for just the Gaiman class is totally reasonable). But I also recognize that other people's finances are not the same as my own, so what I consider reasonable might be well outside someone else's. I'll agree it's a bit distasteful of him to retweet people begging for money for his class, but I'm sure he's just doing it to boost the signal a bit.

God, I wouldn't have remotely blamed him for taking the offer given how much they jerked him around on that F4 run, but that's cool of him.

E: It would have had to have been DC. As far as I'm aware, only Marvel, DC, and maybe Dark Horse would have been offering exclusives, and there's no way in hell Dark Horse was offering anything competitive with Marvel.

So it turns out the Bad Mike just burnt a copy of his ripoff Wieringo cover to trigger people.

Oh no. What a surprise.

Have they established whether or not it he drew on the original art or traced it? It's still unclear.
The video someone posted looked like he was lightboxing it.
