What is wrong in Comics?
Nekobaghira:
While the subject title can go in any direction. I'm going to ask what those know from here or the other place.
My timeline feed on twitter for the early part of the day had topics that alludes there musts be something going on, not sure what it is ...
I'll try to screen cap some tweets and post them but in the meantime, this topic is here. You folks know something, spill it.
Looks like from the search, sales isn't the only issue.
Nekobaghira:
Is sales that bad? Midtown is in NYC .... if they've got something to say, it might be something in regards to sales.
Then there is the words - Comicsgate - with a youtube video if you are so inclined to watch. Shouldn't be hard to find.
bark_no_byte:
I know the Comicsgate stuff has been going on for a while, but I think some of the recent stuff comes from a FB Post by Bill Sienkiewicz denouncing Comicsgate as well as bigots in general:
Nekobaghira:
Ah okay, well ... Asmus words ....

I've been ignoring this ish soooooo much. It boils down to people not being able to leave each other alone. Egos, pride and grandstanding on both sides. One side is just more obnoxious than the other due to having a big stage.
If I had to root out the problem... Fear. No one has the backbone to call people out in fear that they'll be at the center of "outcry" and "backlash". Starts from the top and works it way down. If the top dogs are doing it, then the others will follow and that goes for all things in all industries.
To specific about all these tweets. Peer pressure. People putting pressure on other people to echo tweets to denounce an entire group of people (fans) for the actions of a few (it's the effing internet). What I've been seeing is people calling other people horrible names that can ruin lives just for not liking a particular comic book or writing style. At the same time, even if there are people out there causing issues, block and mute, but constantly talking about them, tweeting them and @ing just gives them a platform. It's all really stupid.
I'm not a gater and I'm darn sure not on the side of these loud mouth egomaniacs messing up my timeline (I'm a fan of a lot of them so I follow) out to defend my honor (I can talk for myself), who don't look like me, live my life or even listen to me but are real quick to use us as a sheild to just be as nasty as the people they claim to be fighting. Someone not liking a way someone else writes doesn't make them a "Nazi". On the other side, not liking someones effing comic book or what they talk about on Twitter doesn't give you the right to belittle or denigrate them. It's on both sides and the blame lies with the bosses of the big two not being able to run their houses. Lilly livered foola, the lot of them.
