I know I'm going to regret tweeting this, but here is a quick PSA for those comic pros who are trying to make nice with Comicsgate now that the industry is circling the drain. You have to remember the following TWO points. PS I'm not trying to argue, just educate.
POINT ONE: Once you strip away all the politics and other BS, CG's entire platform is "Comics Were Better In The Past". You can debate how far in the past, and what exactly makes them "bad" now, but their message never strays too far from that. Everything else is just noise.
POINT TWO: The popular CG Youtuber's follow the edicts of their audience, not the other way around. Think of them as elected officials. The most popular typically are the one's that most accurately echo the grievances and concerns of the large disenfranchised comic customer base.
POINT TWO CONT.: They have all have direct lines to their audience & carefully listen to feedback. That's how they curate their content. Trying to smooth things over w/ their "leaders" while failing to address the fans won't work. To win over CG you must start from the ground up.
