I have screenshot the DMs from the video above and will spoiler them below, which shows Preston and his "Knights" talking about doxing, flagging and suing
I'm ashamed at how long it took me, but Prestons WC faggot group (I repeat myself) should be called "Peg Pals".
Well that's the Comicsgate News Update for today
Smug Dongs roundups are always quality. Thanks for trawling through the unending autism for the thread.

You're convinced McFarlane is a superstar, but these days McFarlane can't get even get a low-budget Spawn movie greenlit. He's not this giant success just because people know his name and remember him from the 90s. His success isn't even really from comics, it's from toy manufacturing - and as you know, it was from licensing mainstream IPs which is something you can never do, with your CG poopjacket on. And that thing is melted onto you now, you can never take it off, like the Rhino's costume.

You can never, ever be Todd, Frog. You're too fat for one thing. But dry your eyes, crying fatty boy, because being Todd really isn't as fun as it looks on the surface.

You might think it's very cool to have people wanting to sue you, but is losing in court cool, is having to declare bankruptcy cool?

From 'The World Vs Todd McFarlane' :



That card was declaring bankruptcy to get Chapter 11 protections.

And this was while Gaiman had him legally bent over too. And later, Todd himself had to sue his own lifelong friend Al Simmons, after whom Spawn was named. Is that cool and fun Frog, being taken to court, taking your former friends to court?

Personally I think if Peter David and John Byrne are living financially secure and comfortable semi-private lives, with their comics still being bought and read, then they've totally won at life, without having to do a lot of the stupid shit that they don't want to do. Not everyone is a narcissistic psychopath who wants to troll for e-celebrity on the internet all day long Frog, only you and Liam are like that. Ask Nasser what lifestyle he would prefer!


Are they not sitting on a big comfy financial featherbed of corporate royalties, like you? And their work is still being bought and read avidly. Jon was going through some Peter David Hulk the other day, and you yourself recently cited John Byrne as the guy you've been looking at. Why aren't you reading the early Spawns by your hero Todd? Is it because you know they suck...? You also mentioned reading 70s Ghost Rider. Notice how these 90s names like Spawn and CyberForce and Gen13 don't tend to come up in conversations about great comics? When was the last time you heard somebody talking in glowing terms about revisiting Spawn, or The Darkness or Witchblade? People want good stories Frog. Story is the engine of comics, not art. Art is the whore in the window of the brothel. Deal with it!
Holy shit, thanks for this recommend. Not only am I mentioned on the first page of the book, but I finally realize why Gaiman's pal Dave Sim was so eager to write an issue of CyberFrog.

You're very welcome tubster. But when you say you 'realize' this stuff about Dave Sim, do you mean 'I've come up with some stuff in my head, Liam Gray style'? Because I'm assuming you haven't read the book, and have only just gotten to page one, where you saw your name mentioned as a controversial/divisive figure in comics, and excitedly ran here to the farms (as best a fatty can, waddled maybe) to post about it?

In short, I'm confused as to what you mean because Dave Sim was very much on McFarlane's side in the McFarlane vs Gaiman case, and apparently made some misogynistical comments about the all-female jury having an innate preference for a charming, soft-spoken British cuckold like Gaiman versus a drawling, swaggering Canucklehead like McFarlane.

Hey, thanks again for the recommend. You can fuck off now.

Thanks for dropping those DM's @FROG.

Seems like Doug Ernst was being shit on for having the wrong friends and asking assholes to stop attacking him.
Reading it through it looks like Doug and his team felt attacked by the "pro faction" of CG. When was it exactly that you lost your shit that Pelligrini liked a tweet dissing you?


How was Kelsey saying "Fuck Doug" about you FROG?

Maybe it was about Cecil and Kelsey getting drunk and running down a peer who actually delivers books people like on time.


This was about the time that Mitch and you started spreading rumors of Ernst, Lim, Preston, Edwin, Dr Seuss and perhaps even Jesus being in a conspiracy against poor innocent Mitch Breitweiser who wouldn't fuck over anyone.


Mitch privated a LOT of videos from that period. So did you.

Ernst didn't private any. Who had something to hide?


Seems reasonable but let's assume when Doug was asking everyone to leave him be it was really him making veiled threats or some other ridiculous spin doctor bullshit.


Are you serious?

You said on stream that Doug was conspiring with Poulter to destroy Allegiance Arts. You did private that stream when confronted about it though. Was that "kind, supportive and helpful to Doug Ernst" ?


Except when you were accusing Doug, Tim, Edwin, Poulter, Mr Magoo and the cast of Power Rangers of a grand conspiracy against poor innocent Mitch.

Still no receipts.


Asking people to stop attacking you is "harassment".

There's a whole lot of spin going on.


The answer is obvious. Mitch didn't have the stroke to get Jon or Cecil to do anything.


The Washington Times doesn't give a fuck about you, Mitch, Ethan, ComicsGate or even likely Doug Ernst. The idea that Ernst could or would have the stroke to use a nationally syndicated paper he writes for about politics to ruin indy comics literally who's is exceptionally retarded.

In the real world no one cares about anyone in CG and no editor at the Washington Times would ever consider reporting on gay CG drama.

Exceptionally retarded.


This would ring truer if you didn't make an account here and make your first act as a Kiwi to attack Ernst. You started this shit show. Thanks for joining.
:popcorn:


Poor Mitch.


Or perhaps because Pellegrini liked a tweet and a FROG merchant with a colossal ego lost his shit both publicly and privately.

Who can keep track anymore?


It's just a coincidence that you made an account and attacked Doug first thing the week he releases his new book.

Sure.

TL;DR - It's funny, when the rumors all started about Doug Ernst he told Mitch, Kelsey, Ethan and everyone else he was fine with hashing this out publicly, DM's and all if they wanted.

No one took him up on the offer but the rumors continued. If any of what Mitch and Ethan said was true you'd think they'd have jumped at Ernst's consent to let them share his DM's and expose him.



Thanks.

I figured when Kelsey showed up out of the blue to sling shit the week Soulfinder: Black Tide was to be released there was going to be an avalanche of drama and DM's if the right people were cajoled.


As we see now Doug's DM's are about him being upset Kelsey was joining in with WC brigades against his team (Lim, Pellegrini and Weldon?) and Cecil & Kelsey shitting on him in a stream which led to his backers and subscribers blowing up his email asking what he did to piss off upstanding drunken sperg diabetics like Cecil and Kelsey.

This may be a hyperbolic reaction but no more hyperbolic then say losing ones shit that someone you met once liked a mean tweet about you ('FIX THIS NOW MITCH') or tried to rally the cancel brigade against a "friend" for not thanking him on a SDCC panel literally no one else gave a fuck about ('DOES EARTH WORM JIM HATE THE GAAAAAAAYS!?!?!?!?!).

I expect the writing was on the wall for Doug when Cecil blocked him, Mitch ghosted him and then Mitch started making cryptic claims presumably about him that Ethan was amplifying on stream. This playbook had been run before and it didn't end well for the people rumors were circulated against.

So he "threatened" to defend himself. Clearly Doug's evil plan was to get shut out by Mitch, Ethan, Cecil and Kelsey then viciously defend himself when the blameless whisper campaign started. 🙄

Doug Ernst is an evil genius.

I'll take the word of the mild mannered guy asking for the drama to stop in DM's who got his book out on time to rave reviews over the Caesar of Gay OpsCampaign, the architect of the Walmart deal that fucked his own backers or the shit flinging obscenely drunken Grizzly Adams wannabe.

Where credibility is concerned the guy who never fucked over anyone, ruled a gay ops Roman fan club or drunkenly shit on others while passing out or soiling himself on air is king.

Let him get his campaign out. That's not the issue even though he keeps making it about that. I'll put a pin in it until later then.

But your take on it was almost 100% and he's got you completely fooled.

Sucks to be you.

@Skinny releasing private DM's is quite the cherry on top of the hypocrisy sundae. Not hours earlier he was discussing the immorality of leaking such things. When Dean was putting together the Poulter video that sparked all of this, I told him that despite Preston sharing our DM's with member's of his discord, I wouldn't share any of mine with Poulter for the video. I don't publicly share my personal DM's.

I'm guessing this autistic version of Super Friends thinks they're making a difference? I doubt it. I see some real winners in there aside from Preston and Skinny. Barry here is the one that made a tweet outright lying saying we sent people after Skinny's wife's Twitter and forced her to deactivate it. Melter also claimed that Skinny was attacked because he was totes gonna expose DA talks for things. I know this is going to ABSOLUTELY shock everyone, but Skinny never exposed a fucking thing.

King Preston McPeggington continues to show how stupid he fucking is, claiming Null is in fact, in the United States. I'm no law expert, but even I can grasp the concept that someone is able to handle their business from another country. Preston also isn't happy with fellow kiwi and comic creator, @TheCosmicWarrior. Good ol JDA bust up into Preston's server to engage in good ol fashion shit talking. Preston took to Twitter, calling someone "impaired" because apparently banter means you're off in the head.

I'm proud of you, Jon. Apparently calling someone a faggot and making a dick sucking joke is impaired, but threatening to sue everyone while promoting a lolifag is totally the behavior of someone that's well adjusted. Preston's continued descent into cowdom has been amusing.

I was bored last night on stream and needed a chuckle to liven it up. I can't believe how mad they got. 😂

Todd himself had to sue his own lifelong friend Al Simmons, after whom Spawn was named.
Interesting. Seems Todd is a douche who doesn't want his friend who consented to the use of his name and played dress up for Todd at conventions to capitalize on the fact Todd used him for a while in the 90's. Heaven forbid Simmons make a few sheckles with a harmless book next to no one was going to read anyway. Best to lock him up in court and try to squeeze him for 75K.

https://bleedingcool.com/comics/todd-mcfarlane-sues-al-simmons-for-being-spawn/

It seems Todd would fit in great with the current ComicsGate crowd. Al Simmons too.

Let him get his campaign out. That's not the issue even though he keeps making it about that. I'll put a pin in it until later then.

But your take on it was almost 100% and he's got you completely fooled.

Sucks to be you.
Thanks for coming by to fling shit and start drama Kelsey. Watching the kind of shit show you started here is what Kiwi Farms is all about.

I'll take Doug's word over your drug addled meanderings, Mitch's attempts to draw attention away from the way he fucked fans and the Caesar of gay ops any day.

Your welcome to prove me wrong by dropping some actual receipts that prove your case but that's not what your here for is it?

You came to talk shit about someone no ones talked about for weeks and then to say you don't want to talk about it.

I didn't know he was doing a book and I don't care that he's doing a book. I care about the truth in relation to me.
Share your "truth" Kelsey. We're all interested to see your proof of the rumors you helped Mitch spread about conspiracies against the totally cool Walmart deal. Content is king. Show us the threatening emails and Dm's. So far all you've shown us is that some people get sick of your shit when you get loaded and fuck with them again and again.

Or have another drink and run your mouth some more. Either way it's fun to watch.

Oh right, I'd be amiss if I didn't mention it,

Some agency (presumably Disney) with deep pockets bankrolled an in-depth study on the Fandom Menace and how it is a pipeline into the alt-right and white supremacy, which is going to be used for an upcoming Netflix documentary.


In the ten thousand word novella, the "podcasters" describe a vast conspiratorial web spun by Steve Bannon based on the principle that "politics is downstream from culture", the most cursory paraphrasing of Gramsci-concepts like "cultural hegemon" possible. The article describes a lineage of transmission of ideas.

But what, or who, was the conduit that took the teaching of Dark Enlightenment philosopher Steve Bannon and imparted them upon the likes of such intellectuals like "Geeks and Gamers" and "That Star Wars Girl"?

Oh,

Despite Frog's prominent role as conduit between a right wing shadow cabal and Star Wars fans, he only leads the chart in one category:

And I still remember Todd McFarlane's name, as DC Comics licenses him all of their characters for toys, and his comics have often, lately, topped the sales charts. He's still Todd McFarlane, a multimillionaire success story, and someone who others aspire to sue.

Where are Peter David and John Byrne now?
Byrne is still appearing on television and watching as his work continues to be reprinted.
Personally I think if Peter David and John Byrne are living financially secure and comfortable semi-private lives, with their comics still being bought and read, then they've totally won at life, without having to do a lot of the stupid shit that they don't want to do.

PAD is actually kindof the worst, with dozens of issues ruined by his moralizing and inability to write more than two or three characters.

I would absolutely wax about Witchblade/Darkness all day long.

Time for another Comicsgate News Update

FROM CREATORGO
Our regular Comicsgate News Update is now adding a new segment reporting on the latest news from CreatorGo, especially after the startling discovery that failed Comicsgate projects are removed from the site. I had previously been tracking the number of Comicsgate books launched in CG2021 and had recorded a record 54 in the first three months of the year. When recently checking the site, I noticed the number had dropped down to 48 and then up ticked again today to 50. I soon realized that CreatorGo was removing the failed campaigns from the sites analytics, possibly to hide the failures from the public's consciousness. When checking my previous post reporting on the number of books and "Malaise" affecting Comicsgate, I was able to grab the then struggling campaigns and check their current status on Indiegogo.

Previous Failure
The Current Plane Comic #1

Updated Failures
Pillowman and Blanketboy Comic-- Second Chance!
KINETIC
Cross Comics coloring book
Melvin #1
Everlasting Survivors Volume 1 Graphic Novel

Campaigns to Watch
Wulfsbane- Issue 1
Chaotic Flux issue 3: Relentless
How To Die #1
ALBATROSS JUNCTION VOL. 1 GRAPHIC NOVEL
Chateau Obsidian #3
The Tome Of Reckoning
EVERMATTER: Conscript
COBALT: Thrashing About
RAPTOR: The Preamble
Ninja Blast Comic Book
Glyn in Monster Land
Perfect 10 issue 2

While removing the analytics of failed campaigns from the site does appear rather unhanded for those seeking data on Comicsgate's successes and failures, rest assured that Kiwifarms will fill the ethical void surrendered by CreatorGo and such information will be updated here.

FROM INDIEGOGO
Despite the glut of Comicsgate books that have flooded the crowdfunding community over the past three months, there are very few worth reporting on in depth.

  • As previously reported Jeff Hicks from World Class Bullshitters relaunched a variant cover for his original trashfire Stealing Solo, called The Fandom Menace edition. The book is a reprint with a new Anna (That Star Wars Girl) variant cover and has raised $32,267 from 511 backers as of writing.
  • Pop culture commentators Clownfish TV launched a hardcover set of their webcomic called Shadowbinders, in what is described as a second chance campaign. The book has raised $46,307 from 599 backers as of writing and offers over 300 pages for $60.
  • Graham Nolan's Alien Alamo has entered indemand raising $70,181 from 1105 backers during the course of it's 60 day campaign.
  • Donkey Madness has extended his campaign by an additional 30 days on Shotgun Samurai, the campaign sitting at $4,058 from 103 backers. Shotgun Samurai features a cover from Xenotype artist Ody and offers over 200 pages of black & white manga for $20.
Meanwhile make sure to check your mailboxes as extremely overdue book Monster MD has been shipped out and reports are coming in people have received their books. In addition it would appear that Earthworm Jim 2 has began finding its way into backer's hands and Kamen America 3 is also in the process of fulfillment.

FROM THE TWITTERVERSE
It would appear everybody's favorite frog comic creator has been blocked by Valiant Comics on twitter. It is currently unknown why the company that produced such quality work like plus sized heroine Faith blocked @FROG, however I'm sure we can all speculate.


Bean from PA issued a statement in response to fellow kiwi @TESTEFY-HD's post here, in which it was reported she had since left Preston's discord server due to the content shared among it's members. Bean rather left the public discord because of a lack of privacy, which expecting in a public server sounds absurd.


The online feud between Youtube commentator DA Talks and Comicsgate™ creator, Preston Knight and fellow kiwi @Skinny continues to escalate with the former claiming that Skinny intended to use backer information from his book Otis Stein to dox @VIkkiVerse. The origin of these claims come from a screenshot from a private DM group of Preston Poulter's which was aired on a livestream several days ago, that will be featured in our Youtube segment below. The tweet was in response to another screenshot presumably taken from Preston's infamous discord server, where Skinny was bragging about the pair potentially losing their platforms.


Skinny responded to claim he was being stalked by DA Talks, while sipping on a "DA STALKS" coffee mug, which according to Skinny is raising money to fight "cyberbullying."


DA Talks continued by posting screenshots of DMs which appear to have taken place between Skinny and Jon Del Arroz/@TheCosmicWarrior in which Skinny used backer information to track down several customers of his on the Otis Stein campaign, to forcibly issue refunds.


Skinny would later confirm the validity of the screenshots and the participants of the conversation, also revealing that Trash Compactor associate "Stupendous" was the one who's information Skinny was looking for.


After some investigating by fellow kiwis in the Comicsgate News Station, it would appear that Skinny himself released these DMs after getting into a slapfight with Jon Del Arroz in Preston's discord server yesterday. The DMs themselves will be spoilered below.


Releasing DMs of yourself admitting to combing through backer information looking for specific individuals to somehow own Jon Del Arroz appears to be a weird flex, but far be it from me to judge the rationality of some of the people associated with the online independent comics scene.

Of course we would like to offer the chance for both @Skinny and @TheCosmicWarrior to comment?

FROM YOUTUBE
Our first video follows up from the previous twitter topic, in which DA Talks and fellow kiwi @VIkkiVerse hosted their weekly CGDG stream. Joining the two this week is Well Read User, former wrench of Liam's chat and host of crowdfunded comic review streams. The topic again this week was Preston Poulter in which many DMs were released including a group chat in which Skinny appears to suggest doxing Vikki or passing her information along to Warcampaign, Skinny would later join the live chat and insist he was "just joking." Another interesting DM leak was what appeared to be a Preston Knight "Barry L Merritt" imply that Preston should blackmail Kiwifarms to have his posting privileges restored, a moderator removed or he would sue Kiwifarms, Preston would later answer that he is preparing to sue DA Talks, Vikki and Kiwifarms.

I have screenshot the DMs from the video above and will spoiler them below, which shows Preston and his "Knights" talking about doxing, flagging and suing. I would ask @VIkkiVerse to post better quality pictures to the thread later, or confirm their authenticity.

Jon Del Arroz/@TheCosmicWarrior did a stream to promote Shotgun Samurai and was joined by @TESTEFY-HD, DA Talks and later by @FROG at the [1:32:05] mark. The stream was highly entertaining watching JDA, Testefy and Frog joke with each other and was extremely refreshing for what started out as your typical shill stream.

Yellowflash reports on Marvel dumping its "woke creators" for Japanese Manga writers with a new series called Deadpool Samurai.

Preston Poulter played catchup to Kiwifarms posting a video going over the recent Mitch Breitweiser/Red Rooster news which had already been reported on by fellow kiwis @TESTEFY-HD and @Mister Dongs

An old tired man yells about SJWs and comic books for the thousandth time.

Comics by Perch goes over the several new #1 comics coming from DC in June

And finally a sad update today as Rorshach from Swindon, whose mainstream reviews I used to feature in the news updates recently released a video on why he will no longer be reviewing comic books.

Rorshach felt his farewell to comic reviews video may have been too spicy for Youtube, so he uploaded it to bitchute here. We here at the Kiwi Comicsgate News desk sympathize with his reasons and wish him well in his future endeavors.

:semperfidelis:

Well that's the Comicsgate News Update for today, it's been a rather slow few weeks in Comicsgate News. The big news is obviously the Preston discord drama taking front and center and the fallout from afterwards. Then of course all these Doug Ernst DMs being dropped since recently Kelsey Shannon/@Kelsey decided to join us. I have a potential story I might break soon in a following post, however I'm just confirming permission with my source before I inform the thread on it. I'm also considering a monthly update post for overdue Comicsgate Crowdfunded books, which at the moment is a rather ambitious project since there's so fucking many of them.

As always take care, and stay safe out there.
:bluelabel:

Big props to JDA for getting EVS and a bunch of his former gayops army back together. Hopefully now that both sides have grown as people they peacefully stay far, far away from each other.

Seems Todd is a douche who doesn't want his friend who consented to the use of his name and played dress up for Todd at conventions to capitalize on the fact Todd used him for a while in the 90's. Heaven forbid Simmons make a few sheckles with a harmless book next to no one was going to read anyway. Best to lock him up in court and try to squeeze him for 75K.

It seems Todd would fit in great with the current ComicsGate crowd. Al Simmons too.

I think I made it clear enough that I wasn't messing with Doug at all and he made that into the shit show it now is.

And in fact, I'm going to leave it alone for now so he can get his books out. I don't want to mess with any creator and their fans.

We'll pick this up later.

Once again I know zero of the history with that or any backstory but I do have experience with people who come from nothing and are suddenly worth tens/hundreds of millions of dollars. The next day friends turn on them expecting a piece. For every one that's thrown a bone five more show up. It sounds like a dick move but you really have to make an example out of the first to dissuade the rest. Setting a precedent by paying one of your former friends only encourages everyone else to lawyer up and stand in line. If you don't sue first they will. Big money changes everything. Everything.

Just a guess but I bet that's what his lawyers told him too.
