It's good to see him doing so well now, he got kinda fucked by the more zealous Comicgate guys some time ago.
?
Did not know this, would like to know.
I thought he just got screwed over on Reddit.
Heh you didn't miss much. A little while ago during the Comicgate thing there was a group of people inside it called "War Campaign", they were the more rabid kind of fans (think steven universe level) of the whole thing Comicgate was trying to do. And so they took it upon themselves to become the watchdogs, they screened the people trying to become part of Comicsgate (or simply using the name). Sorta like a messed up work interview (they goaded the artist to come to live streams with a ton of people, where they got questioned and/or attacked).
George here is an example of that, he got goaded into a livestream and had a terrible time, then he made a stink about it on Twitter, and so got into several arguments with Ethan Van Scyver and other Comicsgate guys. So basically twitter being twitter.
You act as though an inquisition from collective fandoms such as gaming and comics wouldn’t have halted this fucking insanity in the first place.
I mean... I would hope the eventual "inquisition" isn't this retarded. The whole point is, they were wrong in what they did, and were very very stupid. Sure gatekeep your hobbies, just don't be a retard about it.
