It's so weird how so many comics pros can offer such solid understandings of the industry, its history, economics and future, while also being hung up on petty bullshit, which they make worse by lying about it.
We see this with people like Mark Waid, Tom Brevoort, and Kurt Busiek, who have encyclopedia knowledge of continuity and who have managed to create and oversee very good stories for decades, but who are also incredibly small-minded in their personal lives, acrimonious to nearly everyone, and ultimately destructive. They can go from informative to petty, or petty to informative, on a dime: a common trait of sociopaths. See also: Ethan Van Sciver, who is and always was cut from the same cloth as every single "bad actor" comics pro that comicsgate complained about.
As DC contracts, comicsgate would have been a great place for out-of-work talent to jump. A few tacit apologies and many of the non-SJW pros would have been welcomed with open arms. Unfortunately it has been cordoned off now as a fiefdom of Ethan Van Sciver's constant psychodrama. Comicsgate was gaining more support when all it took to join was admitting that SJWs were a negative influence. Now joining comicsgate means sucking off Ethan's ego on a daily basis.
One time very recently I ironically called Sashi Turkey Neck because she was talking shit.
"Ironically".
No hint of this. It wasn't ironic (if you even understand what the word means, which you don't).
Even if it was facetious (the actual word you were looking for), your statement was still a signal to your psycho brigade to keep tormenting her.*
Do you not think that a lot of what was on that stupid discord server was also "ironic"?
You don't seem very familiar with the internet.
You chastise Nerkish for being FORMERLY associated with a discord full of mostly facetious "spicy memes"...
...meanwhile you've gone on the Ralph Retort which has conducted straightforward and supportive interviews with Richard Spencer, Andrew Anglin, and many other literal Neo-Nazis/fascists.
How is the later not "worse optics" than the former? (I'm not even saying you were wrong for going on with Ralph, but the hypocrisy....)
Anyway.
When you and yours are doing it: "It's just ironic, bro. They're just bants, bro. That's not harassment, that's just good-natured ribbing."
When others are doing anything remotely similar: "This is ACTUAL harassment, guys! This isn't right!"
I'm so, so sorry, Ethan, that the mean Miss Sashi dared to say something you didn't like. That must have hurt you really, really bad.
*Why doesn't Richard Meyer ever say anything about this? Because he's a pussy. Or because he's so fucking oblivious that he doesn't realize Ethan is leading harassment campaigns against his talent.
