For the last time, you idiots: the issue here isn't the fact that manga and anime have political themes or that they espouse a particular political view, it's that manga and anime don't hamfistedly or clumsily insert them into stories to the detriment of entertainment value. 1/4
"GATE - Thus the JSDF Fought There!" is a nationalistic series where Japanese Special Forces can effortlessly take out Russian AND U.S. ones with zero deaths and makes a lot of political and social criticism (such as how manipulative politicians and journalists are). 2/4
Despite all this, the series never loses sight of the fact that it's centered around how modern military forces would fare against medieval armies and fantasy monsters such as dragons. The political/social commentary complements the story, it's not the sole reason it exists. 3/4
Sure, here's the ESG scam:
Democrats created legislation which permits employers to invest 401Ks in companies based on factors other than profitability, specifically Wokeness on social issues and the Climate.
These companies are now incentivized to promote Left wing causes.

The next part:
Investors all watch these companies and their Social Credit Scores as signals to where EVERYONE who is participating is going to invest their money.
This causes an especially Woke company's stock to rise, pleasing their shareholders.

Finally:
This means that companies MUST GET WOKE QUICK, and must make the case that they "really, truly care about Diversity, Equity and Inclusion." It's a competition to get the highest Social Credit Score in order to attract the attention of these investors.

Once more:
The US Department of Labor used to enforce regulations that employers and their investment managers chose their employees' investment plans based on financial factors. They'd need to choose mutual funds or ETFs that looked profitable for their employees 401K plans..

That was great, but what about Climate Change and other radical Left wing bottomless pit causes?
A scheme was devised.
A scheme was devised.
Under Obama, employers became able to gamble their employees futures on their own personal social causes & beliefs, by expressly allowing businesses to "make investment decisions that reflect climate change and other environmental, social, or governance (ESG) considerations..."
Hey #COMICSGATE:
Marvel and DC Comics employ radical Left wing activists to produce social justice propaganda disguised as superhero comics, that they emotionally blackmail their audience into purchasing and supporting.
These activists viciously attack their critics.

These formerly great comic book publishers are now owned by enormously indebted corporations, DISNEY and AT&T, who do not respect our creative medium, and are using it to cynically project Woke values in order to qualify for ESG funds and investors. sec.gov/oiea/investor-…
This isn't art. This isn't comics.
The reason comic books are so lousy right now is that whatever comes from our tiny, beloved industry must first serve the interests of their massive parent companies, who no longer need to prove to investors that they are PROFITABLE.

No, Sarah, you're a teenager from an upper-middle-class household who's trying to get some social clout online because you're bored and rebellious. Stop screwing around and do your chores.

"My pronouns are fae/faer."
No they're not, and you have never corrected anybody when they used "she" or "her" to refer to you. You're just trying to feel unique and special because you lack the artistic talents that your peers have.

No, Jennifer, you watched a couple of Breadtube videos after quitting your job at the grocery store. You're not going to read State and Revolution, but you're probably going into a different MLM—multi-level marketing.

1) Rant time.
Very few leftist geeks are real fans.
Whenever one enters a fandom and thinks "This would be fine except..."
And immediately seeks to bend everything to their will, THEY ARE NOT REAL FANS!
They tell us "If you don't like change then this isn't for you anymore"...

2) THE LEFT-WING SOCIAL JUSTICE WARRIOR AGENDA HAS INFILTRATED EVERY FANDOM!
There is nowhere left to go.
The Liberals think that we no Lo ger deserve a platform if we do not agree 100% with their agendas.
We are mocked and shamed if all we want is to enjoy our hobbies as always

3) Escapism is a sin to Leftists. They "Use Their Platform"
To expose every minor infraction of what they deem "human decency".
If you disagree, are to be cancelled. They constantly eat their own in their hypocrisy while demanding their victim's apologies for admission of guilt.

So let's discuss the next phase of ALL CAPS COMICS.
Let's talk about the idea of a monthly CYBERFROG and a monthly JAWBREAKERS series, offered only via subscription. Written by me and Zack, drawn by a couple of consistent and fast artists (like Kirkman found Charlie Adlard.)

This has been something I've been thinking about for a year, because subscriptions have always been Direct to Consumer. It's entirely ComicsGate...it makes sense.
ALL CAPS would have a sudden growth spurt. I'd hire an editor, we'd use a regular printer each time...

And we're already shipping enormous quantities of trading cards, stickers and comics every day.
We'd have to offer an annual subscription, and get 2000 subscribers to make it work, for both books.
The subscription would probably be $125 plus shipping. It might be impractical.

SJWs do nothing but chatter and gossip, working hard to gatekeep undesirables and fix social problems within the Comic Book Industry, giving not one shit about how to make it more profitable and sustainable for the creators who depend on it.

2020 still has these manic, worthless clowns pointing fingers over “harassment,” investigations into workplace practices of DC and BOOM, unions and “pledges” and The Patriarchy, the awesome Twitter disses of dysfunctional dangerhairs, and #ComicsGate while the Direct Market dies.
I’ve always said that Comics Is made up of two kinds of people: those who work to create and sell comics, and those who do nothing but agitate to control the mechanisms behind the scenes. The first group will eventually be subjugated to the second group.
Prediction Thread:
DC's publishing future lays along the lines of YA novels and things that can easily, directly and inexpensively be adapted into streaming shows for teenagers. Which actually is the smartest path for AT&T.

In a way, it's the ultimate victory for SJWs, because they've shrunk DC Comics down to an entirely controllable size for them, producing books in which SJW content merges fairly easily with superhero properties.
In other words, GOTHAM HIGH is the future of DC Comics.

BATMAN, SUPERMAN and JLA will still be published, as they still sell over 40,000 copies. But the line is going to be chopped down by another 75%, and nothing that isn't a guaranteed sale is going to be published.
Bad news:
Your world is shrinking. You felt it in 2016, and you'll feel it again in a few months.
The world in which shrill voices emotionally blackmail corporations into destroying themselves is dying.
Respect for the customer is the future. 🤷♂️🌈🐸bleedingcool.com/comics/a-new-w…

No company can survive employing people with Amy's attitude, nor can it survive hoping that she will support it with her hard earned money.
Hell, respect for the hypnotism that must have been involved in making Marvel market to the people even THEY wouldn't pay a living wage to.

So these people, these Social Justice Warriors, work damned hard at inserting themselves into these hobbies, cultures, and businesses, and immediately begin chasing off the customer base.
Amy immediately calls long time fans "incels" and tells them they're the minority.

Good morning #COMICSGATE!
I closed down UNFROGETTABLE TALES last night with a total of 4227 backers and $225,990 raised! A huge success!
Thanks to all if you who promoted the campaign and backed it! We’re shipping now!

Thanks to all if you who promoted the campaign and backed it! We’re shipping now!
People are asking if UNFROGETTABLE is continuing, and the answer is yes! We’ll be adding new colors, a new cover and lettering to a previously unreleased 90’s CYBERFROG issue and that’ll be UNFROGETTABLE #3! And I’ll reprint the HARRIS stuff with new colors too!
But there’s also CYBERFROG: WARTS AND ALL launching this month, which is a 350-or-so page hardcover omnibus that collects every CYBERFROG book from the 90’s as it was originally printed!
Big stuff on the way! Thanks again everyone!

I condemn threats and doxxing of all kinds. I've been on the receiving end of both on a weekly basis. It's awful.
However, one person called her "Fake Geek Girl" and one single individual on the internet made a remark about wanting to sleep with her. SJWs lied about it.

SJWs and Heather responded to the gentleman who doubted her "geek cred" by organizing a campaign of harassment against him which included trying to take down his YouTube channel, his Patreon, & get him fired from his job, as well as encouraging others to do the same. #ComicsGate
Eventually, Marvel fired Heather from her job, probably with cause, for these reasons among many others.
She's still actively promoting harassment campaigns, most recently against Jae Lee, and uses her internet clout to inflict social pressure on others to join her.

Remember:
SJWs use "Diversity" as an excuse to employ Cancel Culture and ruin the lives of people who oppose...Cancel Culture.
So if you oppose their goals (invading platforms and using them to serve extreme Leftism) and their methods (Cancel Culture), watch out, "bigot!"

There are TWO types of people working in the comic book industry:
1. Those who serve the purpose of the industry itself, i.e. making fun comics that make money
2. Those who fight for control of how the industry itself functions.
If you are #1, you will eventually kneel to #2.

SJWs ONLY care about controlling how the Comic Book Industry functions. They employ strict gatekeeping and inflict incredibly social pressure on those who just want to serve the purpose of the comic book industry, and aren't following the SJW agenda.
Ha, I thought so.
You're focused on a tiny symptom of the problem of SJWs infesting the comic book industry.
It's like you're mad at having irregular moles, and want regular moles again.
#ComicsGate should be, and IS addressing the cancer itself and it's fatal diagnosis.

So ComicsGate, for you, can be entirely focused on Stan Lee's creations being altered, disrespected and destroyed by SJW idiots for their culture war agenda.
And that's valid. But I don't think you're going to win that fight, because they've already declared you're "bigots."
And that's valid. But I don't think you're going to win that fight, because they've already declared you're "bigots."
ComicsGate for me and my fellow creators and professionals is about finding a new way of doing business in comics that addresses the concerns of the customers that have been disrespected by SJWs, and building a market structure that doesn't rely on SJWs.
SJWs in comics are aghast that #ComicsGate still exists, and are trying everything they can to prove that you're "racist, homophobic, sexist BIGOTS!"
Why?
Because you oppose their social agenda to convert comic books into leftist agitprop!
They want you to be afraid.

Everyone is welcome in comics, no matter who you are, no matter who you vote for, no matter how gay or straight.

Protect comics. Protect each other.
Protect businesses who value their customers over the SJW agenda.

The Meyer suing Waid for everyone out there narrative is pure poppycock.

I mean, goodness, look at everyone who has profited from it. From Richard (gross $1.1M) and Ethan (gross $1.2M), to no talent hacks like Ro and creators who would never have a career in comics because they shouldn't.
All the while smaller talented creators like Tim Lim, Mark Pellegrini, George Axelopoulos, Preston Pouter, Doug Garrett, Six Scale Combat, Brad Ashworth, Crypto...
Comic book editors, writers and artists were far ahead of the social curve (and not just in the 1960s), as everyone should have been but unfortunately was not.
Unfortunately this type of negative reader attitude is poking its head up again with #comicsgate.
Google it.

I logged out of Twitter just to read the twitter timeline of an ex-ComicsGater I just watched be interviewed on YouTube.
Literally 95% of his tweets are about me, and how to depose me as "leader of ComicsGate" etc etc.
The mental illness of these people is profound.

Last summer, after CYBERFROG BLOODHONEY was an enormous success, strange voices started suggesting that I was selfish by not allowing other indie creators access to my platform. Why couldn't I "help" people? Surely I owed it to the community.
I considered this, and since I enjoyed YouTube anyhow, I decided I should use my voice to help others.
This has lead to a clusterfuck of hurt feelings, anger, jealousy, conspiracy theories and very strange efforts by these same people who reached out to me to destroy my life.

I gotta tell ya. All this stuff with EVS, Edwin, Mike, Doug, the die hard fans of each. WC this, Cherries that, soy ops this, schemes and scams that. Wtf. These are grown men, right? I'm about done with all of them. I can barely go on their profiles or channels anymore...
....because all they ever do is talk about their 90210 drama about who dumped who, and who betrayed the other. I'm a fan of all of them, but I'm starting to think they would rather the rest of us suffer thru this nonsense then to be adults AND TAKE IT IN PRIVATE!! We don't...
...know the full story, and we never will, and none of them are gonna tell us, so why do we have to put up with only selected info of some bs that none of us should really even care about. I used to look forward to tweets and vids from all these guys. Now I'm rolling my eyes...

Jon Malin and I joined the cause because we were forced to by these realities. We began to crowdfund new comics that weren't SJW.

Some lesser voices on YouTube resented their arrival, felt that we'd "hijacked their movement," and complained bitterly as their numbers and viewership dropped.
