To celebrate the 800th page of Comicsgate and all the free entertainment it has given us, I thought I would do something different and report on the unsung heroes, the people who don't have the dedicated recap shows by Preston or their own kiwifarm thread chronicling their internet hijinks. I speak of course of the loose community referred to as "
Anti-CG".
I dropped by SWC Revived briefly to join Professor Roiloup as he gave a lengthy hour+ dissertation over the IGG backer mystery to the assembled luminaries like Vikki, Nasser Rabadi, Tim Lim, Captain Cummings and a dozen other of the lucky few to stand against the "crin-gay capecuck faggot comicscuck paypig masses", in the words of the esteemed Professor. The chat moaned about how Kiwifarms had been infiltrated by WC and were firmly in the pocket of
@FROG and would allow
only pro-Comicsgate posts on the website. It seems that this group of scrappy outcasts from all walks of life could only rely on each other against the world. I started making noise and laughing at them in the chat, but was met only with stony silence.
Oh yes, Frog and Zack were making money now
or so it seemed, but the anti-CG numbers man -
Comic Book Hut - did some serious crunching of the IGG and came to some disturbing conclusions. The numbers didn't
quite add up. Professor Roiloup rather freely admitted that Hut's videos are boring and kind of suck dick, but that this one video of his had a point. I've gone ahead and reconstructed Hut's research for Kiwis.

"
now if you look at these numbahs, weerdo richardo and liddul seezuh's numbahs dont add up. that comes out as 30,405 dollars, that dont equal 53,084." - Hut, probably
The Professor didn't have to spell it out for the faithful, but he did anyway. After all, there was only one explanation for a backer dumping tens of thousands of extra dollars in the campaign - CG crowdfunders were running a complex money laundering/slush fund scheme to artificially pump up campaign totals and present a facade of success to lure in real backers. In reality, EVS and Zack and the whole movement is on the verge of economic collapse any day now.
And it only gets worse from there for the future of Comicsgate - you see, Professor Roiloup heard from some very reliable sources that a rich plastic surgeon friend of Ethan van Sciver is the one being suckered into buying up all the expensive gear- at this part I started yelling from the chat that
this all sounds like a recitation what Frog was saying last week about 'what was really going on' with Mike S. Miller's Drawn and Quartered auction; I didn't come to SWC revived to hear rehashed stories by Frog with Smiller's name filed off and Ethan's put in.
BOOOO
After checking the chat, Professor Roiloup with a slight shake in his voice moved on to the next topic on the agenda, namely Ethan's potential connections with the Church of Latter Day Saints and their estimated 100 billion dollars in investment cash. He didn't have Hut on hand to do the calculations, but 1% of 100 billion is 1 billion, and 1% of that is 100 million. Is it really so preposterous that the Church of Mormon is secretly propping up Comicsgate?
Finally, there was the matter of the EVS - Zoe Quinn blood relation. This was deemed unimportant, also "they" lost track of the screenshot taken with the ancestry dot com trial account that totally proved they were related. Comicsgate is fucked either way.
Our own Comicsgate containment thread has busied itself crunching these discrepancies, and who knows what new things they'll find.
So that's how Ethan's "most hated enemies" spent their Sunday morning not grasping the concept that a single backer could order multiple copies of a product, presumably to be resold at a markup on eBay.
