It appears that some comicsgaters, most prominently @YellowFlashGuy and Ethan Van Sciver, are mockingly using the safety measures Twitter introduced to protect transgender people in order to game Twitters reporting system.

Comicsgate, the group with a long history of transphobic comments and attitudes, has perverted the system designed to protect transgender people for their own gain; using a variation of the transphobic “I identify as an attack helicopter” approach.

Other comicsgaters join in the mockery of gender identities.

@Swashbucklist seems to … it is actually pretty hard to know where to start with this one. Victim blaming? Ignorance? Creator harassment?

A number of comments regarding this topic from EVS’ supports are notable.

 

Update: The organisers of the charity have responded. It seems clear that EVS was wrong and that his video led to harassment.

Comicsgater responses to facts have included the following:

@AbacusMike took a breakdown page from the sadly deceased Mike Wieringo, inked over the top of it with his own character, forged Mike Wieringo’s name onto the piece and then proclaimed it Mike Wieringo’s last cover. Apparently with the intent to print it as a variant cover of his own comic.

Mike’s estate responded to knock it off. @AbacusMike responded by pretending to burn the original Mike Wieringo artwork with the nazi-esque title “the final solution”.

@AbacusMike has since revealed his burned a photocopy of the artwork, while revelling in the ‘trolling’, supported by his followers. Trolling is the form of communication underlined by unethical standards and intent, seeking to create a reaction from others instead of understanding or truth.

In short: @AbacusMike attempted to profit from the work of a deceased creator, one who clearly would not agree with Mike’s beliefs or those of CG. Upon being told by the estate of the creator to knock it off, instead of humbly apologising and making amends @AbacusMike used his time to ‘troll’ people. He put the estate and friends of the deceased creator though emotional torment, as well as disrespected the deceased and his work.

Piper attempted to make up a conspiracy regarding Gail Simone and Renfamous. The evidence never appeared, not surprising since her given order of events does not follow how Twitter works, and the scheme turned out to be a way to advertise her YouTube channel. Piper also demonstrates that they do not understand how logic works.
