I've pretty much had to watch all the Marvel films since their individual tales merge into one comprehensive story. That ends with Avengers: Endgame. I no longer fell any obligation toward the films. I'll attend on a case by case basis. Why? I, who have been buying and reading comics since grade school, am no longer the audience they want. You know: old , white, male, with money to spend. This new business plan has caused a dramatic drop in sales. I've gone from buying thirty plus comics a month to three. None of them are Marvel. I guess that's their plan for their films as well, but catering to the SJWs may or may not have that effect. While people who are fans of Marvel Comics are also filmgoers. People who are fans of Marvel films aren't necessarily fans of the comics. We'll see.
SWATting is when someone makes a report to the police of a horrific crime in the hope that when the police respond they will kill the accused. It's basically murder by cop. Here's the a recent example where a death occurred as a result.
Comicsgate, in my opinion, is a conservative movement of comicbook fans that prefer comics as entertainment rather than political indoctrination. They prefer a customer centered product where, if there are politics in them, the politics service the story not the other way around, AND they tend to be vocal about it. The SJW sided comic community responded as SJWs always do with mostly hate filled invective and attempts to destroy the lives and careers of their opponents. They've had some success with that, but it appears that's not enough now.
Larry Corriea, of Monster Hunter International and the original Sad Puppy, was scheduled to attend, as Guest of Honor, Origins Game Fair. Some SJWs complained and the dude running the event caved. This is the same damn thing the SJWs did to John Ringo. Here's Larry's take.
It's not like I'd go anyway, but those of you who lean that way might might find something better to do that weekend. There has to be a cost involved in this kind of behavior or it will continue. Just saying...
I posted on the SJWs and their screwing with Richard Meyer and his comic Jawbreakers: Lost Souls. Here is an attorney's take on the whole thing. There are two videos: the long and short versions. I hope he sues. That is they only way these people will learn play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Richard Meyer has written at least one graphic novel about the Korean War, but he is known for his YouTube Channel Diversity and Comics. Known, as in, hated by the SJW crowd in comics. He is the SJW's boogyman in #comicsgate. The few videos I've looked at has him reviewing comics and chronicling the antics of the SJW crowd. Meyer crowdfunded a comic through Indiegogo to the tune of about $247,000 dollars and arranged for it to be published by Antarctic Press. SJW comic book shops then colluded to refuse to carry the book and certain comic book professionals began to put pressure on Antarctic Press to drop the book. The publisher dropped the book and now they are pushing for Indiegogo to drop him. My aren't SJWs hateful little shits. God forbid somebody they don't like get into their club. IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE BOOK, DON'T BUT IT!. Oh no, that's not good enough for these Leftist pricks and prickettes. If they don't like it or it's creators nobody else is allowed to buy it either.
This kind of shit why I've mostly stopped buying comics.
Remember: when Americans wear silk dresses it's cultural appropriation, when people in other countries wear Levis it's American cultural imperialismhttps://t.co/EwcJwt0zYy
I've been looking at his videos for a few months now. The topic mostly comics and anime but he has a Jones for SJWs and how every comic they touch goes to shit. This video deals with gatekeepers and he is, as usual, spot on. Oh, this is the dude that in a short video about his influences turned me on to Fullmetal Alchemist and Naruto.
So, John Ringo was scheduled to appear at ConCarolinas and the SJWeenies had a fit. Apparently some made threats. Mr. Ringo withdrew from the Con at the request of the organizers because of fear for HIS safety. The SJWeenies are trying to claim a win because the organizers "caved". I like the way Mr. Ringo puts it...
I saw it. I liked it. I'd expected an over the top film with Eli Roth directing but he kept his excesses under control. Willis was, as usual, excellent. The critics hate it, but their reviews are mostly political and have little to do with the movie itself. Apparently, I'm not alone in ignoring the critics. The audience score at Rotten Tomatoes is around 84%. Go see it.
Atorney General Sessions referred to the Anglo-American of American Law Enforcement. The snowflakes went ape shit 'cuz it's Sessions and thye seem to be ignorant of the simple fact that American jurisprudence/law enforcement is derived from English common law and English traditions. These people open their mouths and the rest of us are supposed to be impressed that stupid comes out.
Have the people pushing for the ban ever read the books in question? Does context even matter any more? The answer to at least one of those questions is no.
