What is Eric 's history with critisism? The only thing I know is that he got angry at Dax Herrera aka Dick Masterson aka Juju the Pegged Cow for his unfair and biased review of his book which he did not even read. Was there an event where he dismissed fair critisism?

I think he’s more annoyed that someone who he had a professional relationship with turned on him in a really over the top way.

But did Eric actually get angry at fair critisism or did he just get angry at a bunch of very biased reviews? There is a world of difference.

Angry spergs sperging angrily isn’t fair criticism.

I’ve only heard people say he can’t take criticism, but that’s from Juju the Cow and pals and have seen no real evidence of it.

Remember, he was going full autistic jihad against Juju until Nerdrotic had a talk with him. He was given constructive criticism about his professional conduct and he humbly accepted it (even openly thanking Gary for talking to him.)

Thanks for clearing it up. I knew of Dax making a review without having read the comicbook but everyone is going on about how Eric is not good with criticism so I assumed that there were other cases in which was acting up. If there really are no other cases in which he was mad at a critic, can we stop with that narrative?

"Everyone" in this context primarily being Dax "Dick Masterson" Herrera and Ethan Van Sciver (aka Drunken Van Driver).

Eric/Rippaverse has also flagged down reviews of Isom on twitter early on. Some of them were blatantly just posting pirated copies of his book like Actual Fandom, but a couple of real reviews got hit too. He also dismissed criticism of his writing because Chuck Dixon was much more generous to him with his thoughts than other reviewers. I still think Chuck was being too nice and Isom 1 was merely mid, but it is what it is. But to be honest I think the attack on Isom 1 was so extreme that he became overly defensive of his first book to his own detriment and filtered out honest criticism because he assumed they were haters.

I can see why he would mass flag bad reviews then. It is sad but since Dax started his trolling campaign, he had good reason to assume that there were others as well. At least he listens to reason which is far from what lolcows tend to do.

That's pretty lame. Which real reviews got hit? I know there was one that was using a page or two of the illegally pirated copy which got taken down too and they cried that it was because Eric July hates criticism. That one's unconvincing that it was because of the criticism instead of including the page(s) of the pirated copy.

I'll be honest, I couldn't tell you offhand, I just remember a bunch of twitter accounts getting dinged when Isom 1 came out

Eric should court the licence owners, instead of buying IDW and taking on its baggage. He will not get all of them but he might get some of them plus he is black so the companies have the reasonable assumption that he will not start advertising their licences on Stormfront or anything.

I didn't have Twitter at the time, but from what I recall back when he did Monetize Your Haters on YouTube. It was Mike Partikya(?) who was extremely nitpicky. Funny enough, he found only a couple of Dax's list of criticisms valid. Some random guy that seemed to be basing some of his critiques off of an edited page using song lyrics from Eric's band. Vito. Eventually Dax. I can't recall if the major critiques happened before or after he got found out for not actually reading the comic though. There might have been one or two others.

It's really tough to know what is fair or not. A lot of people in CG don't actually read the comics they buy and in some cases literally base their opinions on what EVS thinks. Some of the criticism he was getting may have been people that didn't like the story. Others might have been people Dax was using to go after Eric. Personally, I would give Isom #1 a 6. And #2 was a little better, but not sure strong enough to be a 7. With luck, having a bunch of great writers around him giving him tips. He'll become a great comic writer. Supposedly the Salvage one he did was really good for instance.

His books show signs of mental illness or retardation, and at the very least a very low level of reading ability/ comprehension. In this sense all criticism of the Rippaverse is not only legitimate but necessary.

Might explain Zack bitching and moaning about sexist men refusing to watch Furiousa. Zack bitching about people not consuming product without question soon as he start sucking Hollywood Dick.
