Popular Post Cat Posted September 4, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 4, 2022 On 9/5/2022 at 2:22 AM, Ethan Van Sciver said: Well, I'm an entertainer, and I do have a persona that I've adopted to make the message that I convey more fun to listen to. And "Comics" isn't a "Community," it's a hobby and an industry. As such, nobody has any obligations to abide by a set of community standards. The message is that "Woke" isn't a good additive for comics, and that those who insist that it must be are poisonous to this hobby and the business. "Forced Diversity," or intentional ethnic, gender or sexuality quotas, aren't a replacement for good stories. EVERYONE who isn't a political activist for social justice agrees with this. Many are afraid to say anything, or they'll lose their jobs. I hear from big name pros all of the time in private who cheer me on. I'm happy to keep going. Talking about it openly has meant being shunned, deplatformed, and canceled. It's amazing. It's almost as if this line of thinking is being imposed on comics forcibly and on penalty of ostracization. Feel free to disagree. But also, you'll prove me right when this Forum bans me. You're being extremely disengenuous by putting it down to you 'being an entertainer'. That's a cop-out answer, and you know it. Who were you entertaining when you told your own fan to kill himself, even after he'd begged you not to because his ?brother? had committed suicide recently. Who are you entertaining by taking a cel of incels and catering to their fantasies, empowering them to do harm in their own lives in how they treat specific people, specifically competitors of yours, people who have have bad mouthed you. djzombi, RockMyAmadeus, F For Fake and 3 others 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Aldred Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 (edited) Stu used to just appear, pick a fight, and get extremely angry if any of the older Water Cooler boardies mentioned Steely Dan in a music thread. An almost pathological hatred would manifest, time after time, back then. Quite amusing. A bit of a character.

"KYS" is internet slang. Its the same thing as "Go jump off a bridge". It isn't a demand for suicide, and everyone knows it. That is, everyone knew it until they decided to pretend to NOT know it, in order to get me into trouble. He wasn't a fan, he was a hater who was joining a mob against me on Facebook over the fact that I voted in 2016 and was happy with the results. You're calling my fans and supporters "incels." That's ridiculous hypocrisy. They're comic book fans and supporters of my work. I can't take you seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, if it is EVS, I'd love to request a Joker sketch if he's taking requests... Dude can flat out draw - I watch this video (below) and some of his other drawing videos sometimes just because it's so cool to see someone pull out a blank page and create like that. Jim Lee has a few drawing videos out there too - I'm guessing other artists do too, I just haven't run across them. There's just something relaxing to me in watching people draw.
