>he thinks the big two will fail

>Dark horse
LOL...?

The only thing more pathetic than Marvel trying to push Inhumans and no build-up legacy characters is you faggots trying to push "comicgate"

How many more threads you retards plan on making?

>60% of consumer base stops buying Big 2 comics

>Everyone who likes comics is like me and likes exactly what I like.

>DON'T PANDER TO THEM!!!!PANDER TO MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Fuck off with your shit, pussy.

When will this fake news stop.

>DC/Marvel bubble bursts

Fail? No. I don't think anyone, even the OP is delusional enough to think Marvel and DC are going anywhere. But if they take a big enough hit, it might allow for other, smaller publishers to flourish.

Same thing happens whenever a giant company makes major cutbacks or gets broken up - you see lots of smaller companies grow to fill the void, ultimately providing consumers with more choices. I for one wouldn't mind seeing IDW, Image, and DH to continue growing and creating new IPs.

Until Superhero films stop pulling money in at the box office, the Big 2 are going to be fine.

Sorry OP

The more Marvel flounders the more it hurts the industry, it's the same when DC does. Their comics bring asses in to buy and grow the pool of readers.

This is some ol bullshit, DC actually has company standards for behavior

DC is doing great. Rebirth is awesome so far. Its has a lot of hit & miss books but they're still much better than the drivel that Marvel is vomiting up.

> DC
> pandering
????

Lets put it in a different perspective. The market share is the way it is, is because of brand recognition. Their will always be people who will be Marvel and DC.

And the only comic company capable of comepete with the big two is Image with puts out tons of SJW pandering shit(ie bitch planet, saga).

DC doesn't purposely piss off its fans

Trying to make "comicgate" a thing is the most pathetic /co topic I've seen in years. Congrats man child.

Oi Vey!

+.01 Sheckles added to your account.

There is no Comicgate coming

>DC and Marvel die out
>This somehow boosts Dark Horse and Image despite the logical conclusion being even lesser amounts of people going to LCS because it's easier to quit if your main/initial reason for getting inti disinterests you

Marvel and DC dying will just push for a more trade-based release for both of them. Marvel and DC occassionally gets a book on Bookscan, same with Image. When the fuck did Dark Horse ever get to that level?

Comicgate wont happen because there's no real anger towards Marvel in the wider comic readership, just apathy from 5+ years of being shit. Let it continue its downward slide and it'll go under itself or sort itself out.

>comicgate

Sup Forums was a mistake

letting redditors in was a mistake.

Theres enough anger that it will happen, and this incident will be only the beginning

They're not bubbles. They're institutions. They have so much momentum, inertia, and tradition that nothing short of societal collapse will end them

People said that about the whole milkshake thing, and that didn't come to anything. The fact is that the majority of people you'd need for this to happen don't give a fuck and just read comics they like and ignore the ones they don't.

Fuck off, Sup Forums

Fuck off, shill.

Fuck off Sup Forums

>this incident will be only the beginning
No one but a bunch of fucking rubes, most of whom don't even read comics in the first place, give a single iota of a fuck about D&C.

I'm curious if the milkshake thing was just another one of Marvel's tired "try to cause outrage to boost relevance and sales" thing. The user that said readers are just too apathetic to give a fuck about Marvel anymore is right, though. Marvel's constant eventbaiting and attempts at being edgy, and more recently killing off beloved characters for teenage minorities has left people disappointed since 2006 with Civil War.

>This is only the begining
>Nobody is angry at DC
>Nobody is angry at Image
>Nobody is angry at Dark Horse
>Nobody is angry at Boom
>Nobody is angry at Newsarama
>Nobody is angry at CBR they should tho, site went to shit
>A handful of literally who's are angry at Marvel

Sure, user

Lots of people are angry, more then you give credit for. #comicgate will happen

People are only angry at Marvel, and even then it's a handful hardly to cause an industry controversy like Gamergate where people were angry at the major videogames sites (IGN, Gamespot, etc).

>then you give credit for. #comicgate will happen

its been like what 3 years now since that word has popped up. Its not gonna happen.

Its enough to cause comicgate.

Yeah, whatever helps you sleep at night

floppies need to die anyways. The graphic novel market is growing every year and the indi comics market is doing amazing right now

The lack of validation in your life is clearly astounding.

If it is it would have already happened, because people have been way angrier at marvel over things in the past than they are at this particular moment.

Another movement based entirely on prejudice that will accomplish precisely nothing of any value?

what shit heads.

Except it wont, if comicgate does happen all it will amount to is a bunch of twitter accounts spamming #comicgate.

You and your ilk don't have the slightest clue whats going on. You rely on youtubers like fucking normies to fill you in on whats going on in the industry.

It won't. It's not just about anger. It's about justified anger. With gamergate, the games journalists got together and attacked gamers as an identity which enabled them mail advertisers with a message "Are you aware you're paying money to advertise with people so antagonistic to their audience?" You could contact comic book advertisers if you really wanted to but I don't the "don't smoke" people really care if you're mad about Captain Hitler or whatever.

As far as I can tell, the whole thing is basically a nutter who rants about SJWs ruining comics isn't liked by people who make the comics. Mark Waid says to tell him if the nutbag shows up at comic-con. This is proof that THE LEFTISTS are destroying america and also how conservatives are the real victims.

...

Hi Cletus.

is this the thing mark waid is in on?

because if he gets his ass kicked it'd be the first good comic con announcement in awhile.

I never liked capeshit. Most of the original base of customers marvel alienated either grew up or became exclusive manga reading weebs by now.
But even before comics became sjw garbajjjj i never liked cape shit. I would mostly read indie comics or manga.

DC and marvel have to compete with the internet, video games, anime, smart phones, social media, movies, streaming. But there business plan seems to be pushing a political agenda, insulting the audience, and alienting the only audeince that actually bought comic books still (white males)
Seems pretty much like a recipe for implosion.

I never was super into cape shit growing up. I mostly read indie comics, manga, or like shit like conan the barbarian.

I wouldnt miss it if it died.

No it won't
D&C's audience consists of
>big 2 readers
>Former readers
>people who just want drama
A comicgate cannot happen due to the small size of the community
It'd be overwhelmed by drama seekers who don't give a shit about the industry

The community is fucking abyssmal
Low sales are doing the job for us
Screeching like an idiot on twitter won't do us any good

>being so butthurt over one YouTube channel that you start a harassment campaign in a spineless attempt at revenge

Jesus Christ they're like ancap memes come to life

For fuck sake, this isn't Gamergate! The conspiracy is too small and focused for there to warrant a consumer revolt. Just stop giving hipster """"journalists"""" clicks and don't buy SJW comics. It's that fucking easy and it's already working. If we keep our cool and not succumb to outrage things will get better.
Thread should be autosaged.

The problems with a comicgate is that it'll instigate a witch hunt on writers for what they say and not what they make.
People already cherrypick years old pages from outdated titles.
Those people don't read comics yet attract the most attention
A comicgate would be controlled by non readers

>constantly shilling this bullshit on Sup Forums
>claims others are butthurt
You cuckservatives should just admit what you really want is a hug and a safespace to call your own.

>gamergate happens
>"REEEEEEE STOP RUINING Sup Forums MOOT PLS HALP"
>fast forward three years
>"GAS THE IKE COMICGATE NOW"

Oh well guess I'll blame Sup Forums

Comic books are communist.
Comics are about fighting the capitalist scum ruining America and opressing the workers od the world.
Punch a Nazi today!

>harassment campaign
I still see no evidence that there actually was this. I see a screenshot of some people bitching on facebook, who seem pathetic.

I'm just posting my observations buddy. No need for that projection

Literally who?

>No butthurt! no butthurt! YOU'RE THE BUTTHURT!!
Sad. Very low energy.

>a private Facebook page making fun of some Trumpkin snkwflake is a controversy

Sup Forums needs to find better things to do with itz time. It is not happening.

Though it is pretty pathetic these creators feel the need to bully this YouTube clown.

>This insecurity

You're cute. Have a (You)

but clearly Gamergate brought down the video game industry and they now only make good conservative Christian games

been trying to have a thread about this for days but no one seemed to care that sjw comic pros attacking critics

youtube.com/watch?v=T2rh2OPuOT8&t=79s

Some self proclaimed socialist working for IDW on GI Joe that Joe fans are pissed about.

Actively scheming to get someone deplatformed and removed from conventions is pretty much harassment. So is doxxing and trying to get people fired from their jobs.
All of these things have happened to D and C and Capt Cummies.
If these things were happening to the various childless weirdos who write comics nowadays, Vice would do an article about it.

Gamergate was hilarious, though. We got the Law and Order episode, people like Bob Chipman and Devin Faraci lost their jobs, and years later people still get triggered over it and claim its responsible for Trump.

Comicgate would fizzle and die because there isn't really anything to rally around like a journalist linking to a game dev's patreon in an article.

>Third party publishers revived

Are you kidding? It's been being spammed for days by D&C-supporting faggots.

>lumping DC with marvel's saw pandering garbage.

Why do you retards act like you know what's going on?

That's the point
Why would I give a shit about this writer who I barely know?

This maybe the 8th thread back to back? There's another up right now.

Please stop spamming this shit.

>Readers start buying Image and Dark Horse
did you not see what IDW just reported? sales are down 90% and they say it's because of marvels fuckery. they're driving people away as a whole. they're not going to other publishers, they're just washing their hands of the medium completely

there have been several threads that got past bump limit

>and claim its responsible for Trump.

They did get anons to make twitter accounts and argue with people which made it easier to share an opinion without instantly getting ganged up on and isolated which lead to an increase in contrary opinions on the service which was 100% in Trump's favor. So it's not entirely impossible.

If the big 2 die, they all die

lel reading this thread is pathetic this place is literally r/comicbooks.
stay cucked and keep white knighting for people who are actively killing your hobby.

OK Sup Forums can you take on the Marvelcucks and DChads?

>Wanting E-Celeb drama on Sup Forums

And now Milo's in on it
milo.yiannopoulos.net/2017/09/exit-right-to-comicgate/
It's going to be force isn't it?

He'll get bored in a day or two and go after easier clickbait.

Milo is desperately trying to cling to whatever popularity he might still have before the final slide into obscurity and irrelevance

>readers
I think you're grossly overestimating the D&C's fans.

I said they're a part of his viewers.
Some people actually look at his advice and follow it on what to buy and avoid
Some got back into comics because of his advice

He said something on twitter that is dumb. Isn't that enough to send you in a frothing rage?

Also Breibart jumped into GG to try to recruit members into their stupid culture war army. The number they recruited was definitely greater than zero, unfortunately.
Make no mistake that if [scandalgate] gets off the ground communities will only be more divided while journalist companies and YouTubers with an agenda will profit off of this. Extremists require opposing extremists to exist. If we recognize that they are ultimately small and that we don't need them we can stabilize and make it through this quagmire.

kek this is so fucking retarded

It's like, "Oh the gamergate shit kinda died down. Let's try to start a new controversy. These geek faggots like comics too, right?"

>Make no mistake that if [scandalgate] gets off the ground communities will only be more divided while journalist companies and YouTubers with an agenda will profit off of this.
100% this. It's total poison to any actual change or discussion and just leads to clickbait sites and personas making money.

Fuck off, shill.

So three people said they want to punch a guy and say dreamed about it, is that the summary of it?

>It's been being spammed for days by D&C
Fixed.

inb4 "b-but D&C doesn't post here!"

It could be Sup Forums trying to start a Happening

Nah, it's definitely his fans
He gets overhyped on twitter as the person who will fix Marvel

Hurry up and nuke this thread!

>on what to buy and avoid
Serious question, has he ever actually recommended a comic for people to buy? Because as far as I can tell, all he does is buy comics to then call them SJW and rip them in half (or flush them down the toilet like with Aquaman). When the comic itself doesn't have anything particularly SJW in it, he just... half-asses some contrived reasoning as to why it's SJW like his Wildstorm and Superman "reviews" and calls it a day. From the handful of videos of his I've watched, he doesn't seem to actually ever recommend anything. Just bitches and moans.

Sup Forums doesn't read comics for the most part
And the ones that do are actually more knowledgeable than what Sup Forums would assume

Sup Forums doesn't read for the most part
