>>102671695> I didn't know what the fuck comicsgate was until like 2 days ago because I didn't and still don't care.Its pretty funny, but kinda long story
a retard called Diversity & Comics has spent the past year roasting comics by people at Marvel and DC , he would also screen cap any tweet by comic "pros" and do a 25min video on how he thinks the pro is being a sperg.
news sites would promote new books and mention how "diverse" they are, then DnC would shit on them too for being shills and would say its forced diversity.
sites give favorable coverage and ignore the pros going crazy on twitter at the slightest criticism and just all around being nuts.
after a pro said his bitching doesn't "move the needle" sales wise he created a hashtag on twitter called #MoveTheNeedle for people to post all the comics he convinced them to buy (the hashtag that was once used by a nonprofit to promote female empowerment)
then he made a graphic novel on indiegogo called "Jawbreakers lost souls" and all the sites and twitter enemies he pissed off would not talk about it (keep in mind they would complain about him and his autistic fans constantly)
DnC got to 180,000 USD, he announced that Antarctic Press would publish
enemies freaked and stepped up the whole racist angle (his daughter is muslim, son is a minority too)
comic shops in a secret facebook group said they wouldn't stock his book, so DnC posted their business phone numbers and said only people who shop there should call and complain.
Mark Waid went crazy and started giving public veiled threats to Antarctic Press, AP then cancelled their contract with DnC
Waid nuked his social media accounts. (some say he was forced too)
after this autism storm many mainstream conservative sites/youtubers start talking about it and shilling for DnCs book.
fundraiser then skyrockets to over 350K
The jim Jeffries Show on Comedy Central ran a hit piece with an interview with DnC.
There's so much more funny shit that happened.
