Mark Waid’s Legal Defense Fund, organised by Mark Waid
The Mark Waid Legal Defense Fund FINAL UPDATE 12/22/20: Hello and happy holidays. I have a… Mark Waid needs your support for Mark Waid’s Legal Defense Funduk.gofundme.com
I guess Richard ran out of money before King Baby did.
This did not age well...
He won but at the cost of his reputation. Sure he is held in high regard by his twitter circlejerk but to the every day comicshe is at best viewed as a once legendary writer who fell from grace and at worst a complete douche who was never that great to begin with. Weve won in the court of public opinion and when Iwrite the history of the culture wars I will make extra sure to demonize himThe sjws won.
I'd disagree. You shouldn't fund any of this bullshit if you think you're contributing to some kind of personal revenge fund where you think you're owed someone getting publicly face fucked for your amusement. If you just don't want to see someone get publicly raped, though, and you contributed to Meyer for that reason, you definitely got your money's worth.This is why you shouldn't fund any of this comic bullshit. Nothing good comes out of it. You can't fight Big Business in the West. Either buy your mainstream crap and like it, or don't and put your money elsewhere. It's not like the comics you buy today will be worth anything a decade from now so you're not buying them for an investment.
Personally, if you have to resort to donations for a lawsuit you probably shouldn't have bothered in the first place. You didn't have the money to start it, you probably don't have the money to finish it. People aren't always going to donate to you and in a lot of cases they want things to go by faster so they feel like they've contributed to something "great".I'd disagree.

In general, though, do not ever donate to any litigation fund where you think your money's worth is getting some other asshole publicly butt fucked. You aren't entitled to that and probably won't get it.
I'm going to have to disagree. If people want to donate to it enough to do so, and you have enough to go forward, do so. As disappointed as I am at the moment, I do think fuckwads like Waid may now think twice or three times or even four, and may choose not to do the stupid shit Waid did to get sued in this case. These fuckwad SJWs may at least realize that acting like this isn't free. They'll have to pay a price for it. And that price could have bought them a lot of Funko Pops instead of a lot of nothing.Personally, if you have to resort to donations for a lawsuit you probably shouldn't have bothered in the first place.

What do you expect from a Pillsbury dough boy like Waid other than rape?So Waid asked "is there such a thing as non-consentual f-king?" - That's basically the most pro-rape thing I've heard since Nathan Larson (since he's basically insinuating that rape, or non-consensual sex doesn't exist).

No, but after seeing enough cows like Waid, MovieBob, etc having "status" in comic industries I think I've been permanently spoiled on them (and that doesn't even scratch the surface as far as anime/manga is concerned, where open pedophiles like Digibro/Pantsu are fairly well-known reviewers, Momokun is a popular personality at cons, etc).@StraightShooter2 Did a wild comic bite you when you were a little kid, or what?
Mike Mignola blows a hole in your rant by himself. So does Alan Moore's run on Swamp Thing and some of his indie work (although some of his other stuff reads like Moore's frozen in his angsty 17-year old phase). And that's not touching comics that are specifically written for adult audiences like Asterios Polyp or that one about Godel.No, but after seeing enough cows like Waid, MovieBob, etc having "status" in comic industries I think I've been permanently spoiled on them (and that doesn't even scratch the surface as far as anime/manga is concerned, where open pedophiles like Digibro/Pantsu are fairly well-known reviewers).
Making comics is one thing, but I think a reason that Waid, Bob, Vox etc only make or review comics is due to emotionally-stuntedness and not being able to relate beyond a 10-12 year old level.
In comparison more mature authors have gone on to produce film screenplays, best-selling fiction, and so on - example, Peter Jackson did produce cheesy splatter films like Braindead/Dead Alive, but he also went on to produce the Lord of the Rings film trilogy.
Okay, I was going along until you brought up Alan Moore. He's as immature and emotionally stunted as they come. But whatever. Now depressed remembering that Alan Moore is a loony.

You're going to have stunted fucks in every field- Bob TMK doesn't even review comics: only Mahvel movies. But if you torched every field that has them, you'd probably be left with Thai shadow-puppet theatre.
