DC does not pay royalties to cover artists.
If you want to support Jae Lee, don’t buy his Rorschach cover because it is mainly the writer and penciller who gets paid royalties.
Instead, buy a book where Jae Lee drew the pages.
Please share this info to support him.

If you talk to non-Westernised Muslims, who are the majority, you’ll quickly realise that they are very anti-LGBTQ+. So a Muslim-approved Kamala Khan will be anti-LGBTQ+ as well.

Feminists say they need more strong, take-no-prisoners type role models in the world. Yet when

No, Mark, this says a lot more about you.

You’re welcomed to do that with your own IP, though.

Dear SJWs, there is actually a way to stop Shane, Ethan and Graham from getting royalty checks from DC Comics. And this method is perfectly legal:
Make characters that are so awesome that DC will use them instead of the characters the CGers above made.

I have bad news for the terminally online.
Before the internet, most of us just consumed entertainment without even knowing what a creator looks like, let alone their politics.
Normies, I assure you, do not care if a writer has the same politics as them.
@DankyFranky1
@ComicBookRobert
That’s great, but I’m pretty sure your own politics inform your choices towards which creators/work you find value in, and they more likely align with certain creators and not others.

Cat's out of the bag. I got an infection after my C-section, was operated on and put on a lot of pain meds since I had 2 major surgeries in 2 weeks. That led to my current situation of GI bleeding from too much pain meds, so I'm back in hospital.

Notice the number of former fans out saying that Rocafort’s art is “ugly” after they found out he‘s CG. There was no such talk before that. Same for my husband.

All this argument about race-swapping Ariel when everyone should instead be lamenting the soulless-ness of Disney live action films. Nothing will beat the animated versions. Disney needs to make new stuff like they did in the 90s and early 2000s instead.

The definition of Cancel Pig is someone who takes away your ability to earn a living, generally by de-platforming you. Someone choosing not to promote you does not remove your ability to continue earning money, nor does promotion guarantee you more money.

Here's a bit of truth for you:
No one in CG called publishers to cancel those books. We just didn't open our wallets to books that no longer interest us.
The mainstream is always saying CG is a minority. If we just didn't buy those books, we shouldn't have hurt them right?
You think comicsgate ever would have picked up an issue of Squirrel Girl? They just didn’t want that comic to even exist or admit there’s plenty of fans who read and loved it. You think they hated Jon Kent being gay bc they love Superman so much? They just hate gays

I’m his wife. Chinese. Immigrant. A woman. All the supposed characteristics CG hates.

I will keep everyone posted about Shane's surgery. (Chances are he'll post it himself)

Hey asshole, maybe go back to the actual source material before you try to claim our culture?
Mulan is a poetry about filial piety. A woman who didn’t want her elderly father to be drafted, so she dressed as a man to go in his stead. None of this Disney song and dance.
This is a fact!
She never felt like a woman and the most touching song in that movie was her describing/trying to understand why she does not fit in/how she would hurt her family.
The movie confirmed/never went forward with that part of the story in the end due to the times.

Are some writers acting out because they know they can’t make a crowdfunded comic without artists? So they feel the need to put down successful artists? Make them think they need a writer’s blessings to work?

Remember that the people who call CG misogynistic racists are the exact same people who call me a "token" and a "shield". They reduce me, a Chinese woman, to a mere object. So when they call us CGers misogynistic or racist, they need to take a long, hard look in the mirror.

Guilt by association? Ok, let's turn this around, then. Associating with YOUR side means:
- threatening a bat to the teeth
- actually vandalising a comic shop for inviting EVS
- wishing cancer upon the entire other side

If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's a duck. You can claim "no labels" now but you are sounding and acting like them, they're all going gaga over you parroting their shtick, and you gave EVS (the head CG creep) props when he praised you. Guilt by association, Mark

So you:
1) Deny having said that 99% of creatives have no business sense?
The failure rate of new businesses is 50% over 5 years. That means 50% have enough business sense to succeed .
(Cont)
Here's what was actually said. As you can see:
1. That wasn't what was said.
2. The actual statement is true; most of the creatives in comics are not publishers.
3. This part isn't even about crowdfunding. It's about the old, archaic model (like the direct market). I even mention
