Well, to be frank, that's closer to WWI French military-style.

Frank Miller has a lot to answer for for basically being a fascist, but his biggest comic crime is perpetuating the idea that Clark and Bruce aren't besties.

I read two of his Dilbert prose books back in the 90s and I still remember a chapter where he set out to disprove gravity. Or, I guess, present an alternate theory that would explain everything just as well and it was hilariously obvious that he didn't understand anything about gravity beyond 'things fall down'.

That one wasn't so dumb--it was just a thought experiment about what if the earth and everything on it doubled in size every ten seconds, which pushed everything together, which would supposedly have the same effect as gravity. Some thing that just might make you go whoa if you're stoned. I think the purpose was to prime the reader's mind for a looser interpretation of the immutable laws of physics... since the next chapter, IIRC, was about how you can make things happen by just imagining/wanting them to happen. I think he argued that this was the main method he used to become the most successful comic strip artist of the 90s.

His gravity stuff was pretty dumb even before he doubled down on insisting it was a fantastic thought experiment and not something that a trivial amount of thought would disprove.

Scott Adams’ disbelief in gravity came up in another thread.

I didn’t go to the effort to look it up not to share it here.






So that’s the main text of the theory. Now let’s back up a few pages.

Is he a flat earther? A weird group of flat earthers don't believe in gravity. They call it grabity, because they think it's ridiculous that the earth would reach up and grab something.

Didn't they call it grabity in the Garfield cartoon? The 100 Acres Happy Acres or whatever the other cartoon segment that wasn't Garfield was called. Like I vaguely recall the Rooster calling it grabbity because it grabs and pulls you down.

That channel hadn't released a video in months before GW announced their new policy. They also did not contact him to stop, demonetize, or de-platform him in any way.
Dude was just tired of doing it and used GW as an excuse to get even more money from nerds as they upped their Patreon donations in support.
The only videos that have actually been taken down or demonetized are ones by people that now make stuff for the Warhammer streaming service, or were skirting too close to portraying themselves as official works and not fan works.

Notably, Oculus Imperia has released new videos since TTS went down. He uses a ton of GW art as background, and was the editor on TTS, so... Luetin09 is also still releasing, and they use GW art for backgrounds too. Those are two of the biggest lore channels that I know of and are prime targets for a copyright claim.

Both of those are worth following, although Luetin09 needs to tighten his scripts up by 15-20 minutes for the long ones.

One of those things that was particularly prominent since it came out during the dark age when GW was spinning its wheels endlessly with poo poo no one wanted right before the management change.
