I haven't kept up with the industry for a while outside of joining everyone in mocking the Secret Empire storyline, but I think why this is the case is because Zach is the first time someone was looking at these comics like Squirrel Girl and saying they sucked when he had a big audience. Most of the people prior were just sharing screencaps on Tumblr or here and taking the piss, but Zach was doing that and also getting a lot of traffic. Suddenly the bubble burst and these people had to smell the roses and see that their comics sucked.The most amazing thing to me about all this is something I've alluded to before: Zack posed no threat to these people whatsoever. He was just a guy on YouTube snarking on how terrible their comics were. What on earth compelled them to fall on him like a ton of bricks? Yeah, ok, :autism:, but these were people working at one of the two biggest comics houses in the world. How hard would it have been to shrug, say the man is entitled to his opinion, and go on writing moronic Squirrel Girl and Captain Marvel comics?
So of course, their reaction to this was to accuse Zach and Ethan of being every kind of ism out there and attempt to deplatform them.
