I admit I might not want to know this but what is the Batgirl variant cover controversy?

DC solicited this as a variant for an issue:


The theme is incredibly in bad taste and people were not happy about it because of that. The artist himself wished for it to be unlisted as well. DC did just that and it upset a bunch of mega chuds who refused to see why it's problematic.

Here's a quick article on it.

Really hoping TKO isn't secretly pro-chud, as I own their first four books digitally. Their versatile formatting (Whole arc in issues? A nice trade? Digital file/Comixology? All three!) and strong creative teams pulled me in from the get-go.

They've been running more sales lately, including coupons and B1G1. Ideally, that's to get some more scratch for contract payments and they don't already faceplant.

If they're in league with TUG though, gently caress that company.

It's probably a situation like Sean G Murphy who thinks he's doing the right thing by "listening to both sides with an open mind."

So has it been a long time coming in Sean G. Murphy taking the ComicsGate plunge? He's got an IndieGoGo CG are (at least claiming) they'll back out of support or whatever. Amusingly That Umbrella Guy is very upset because he's going to launch his project at the same time and is mad that he's up against somebody with mainstream talent and is "only in it for the money but isn't a REAL ComicsGater!!!"

You hate to see it.

Is SGM considered CG because he's using IGG or is there something else I'm missing? I'm not sure I've ever seen SGM have explicit opinions on comicsgate either way and as much as chuds use igg almost exclusively for their campaigns, all campaigns that use igg are not chuddy.

There seems to be a whole bunch of artists with a kind of similar sketchy style that aren't chuds but definitely chud-adjacent. They know that comicsgate is bad and evs is bad but don't understand why those things are bad and aren't really interested in finding out. See also Sean Murphy and J Scot Campbell (I'd toss Andrew Robinson in that group but he went full formed chud earlier this year).

He's "chud-adjacent." Definitely not as bad as other people or comicsgate but he's willfully ignorant on a lot of things. He's shifted from kickstarter to comicsgate darling indiegogo for his projects and had quit twitter earlier this year in a hissy fit when people pointed out he was spewing right wing talking points about the George Floyd protests.

Like some other people I mentioned, he's not a chud but he's definitely listening to chuds and internalizing some of their bad faith arguments.

Steranko makes you pay for his autograph (not great but understandable) even on prints you purchase directly from him (supremely rear end in a top hat move).

Jin Wicked is correct that he's living 40 years in the past. He absolutely has chihuahua syndrome over his height too. I used to follow him on twitter but after he went on a long dumb tirade about how everyone should vote trump in 2016, I unfollowed him and honestly, had mostly forgotten he was still alive until this popped back up in my feed today.

He's incredibly influential and has led a great life but rather than continuing to live a great life, he's decided to live in the past and surround himself with people that let him continue to live in the past. He's a sad old man who's gonna end up tainting his great legacy by refusing to read the room.

One reason I heard that Qanon is so good at spreading is that it's basically an ARG with no "right" answer, so everyone who falls for it does so because they put in the work to figure out what is "really going on". There needs to be drastically more work to dissuade someone of an option they worked hard to cultivate on their own.

I feel like Qanon took a lot of aspects of TV/movie theorizing and turned it into a terrible reality. You have a lot of the same kind of logic going into qclock analysis that you see from people analyzing the MCU or even going back to poo poo like Lost and it made it more effective at taking root. It's one of the reasons I've tried really hard to stay away from theorizing about poo poo like Wandavision because that's not a part of my brain I need active and craving for more attention.

Quoting myself from another thread:

For further context I looked up the pre-orders for all of the Marvel CrossGen books:

Ruse #1/Sigil #1: 28,500/28,000 orders which is pretty respectable.
Ruse #2:/Sigil #2: 11.8k/10.k
Ruse #3/Sigil #3: 10.7k/9.5k
Ruse #4/Sigil #4: 10.5k/8.9k

So not a great start to the new subline. Then a few months later Mystic came out:

Mystic #1: Orders of around 18,000 put it ahead of a bunch of stuff, actually.
Mystic #2: 7100 copies, ahead of Casanova: Avarita #1, a FF Marvel Universe supplement, Anita Blake:Circus of the Damned – The Scoundrel #1, and Ka-Zar #4
Mystic #3: 6400 copies, ahead of Ka-Zar #5 and a Vampires Marvel Universe supplement
Mystic #4: 6000 copies, ahead of John Carter: A Princess of Mars #3 and a book collecting "I Am Captain America" cover variants

And then yes, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and Route 666 mini-series had been announced and taken off the schedule.

They also did a Sigil reboot at the same time as Ruse.

All three were actually pretty decent iirc.

VVV somehow my eyes absolutely glazed over this.
