I was going to put this in my gameplay video thread but this is not gameplay, it is commentary.
So in this video I react to some of the cringiest scenes in the game & I discuss how we are all feeling about video games & our media in general. It is wild how crazy these people are & how they have managed to turn activism into a multi million dollar career, until they successfully bankrupt whatever company they work in.
I came up with a good term for them, “Corporate Revolutionaries”
Nobody has done more damage to the LGBT community than these activists.
Hopefully with the resurrection of President Donald Trump, we might finally get the sickness out. If not, at least he will get the ball rolling, since he won the entire house. Get our kids back from perverts & prosecute every teacher that molested the minds of their students…. ok ok, I have to save the rest of that for the Trump Video lol, stay tuned.
I might add some more videos in this post for commentary because, my Male He/Him character was transformed into a trans & I had no idea it was happening. You’ll see what I mean later lol
(36 minute mark)
Ethan showing up on Alex Stein is actually kind of a big deal, it shows Blaze is willing to platform EVS and have a conversation, an open and honest dialogue. Good on these guys.
It’s easy to think of things as “The Blaze are team Eric”, but that might change, we see Alex and EVS having a cordial and even keeled conversation, maybe Eric’s stans can give this interview a watch in its entirety and see that the criticisms against Eric aren’t so petulant and hate filled, a lot of us just want to see things improve for this scene.
What really struck me was Alex saying he wants to try to mend things between Eric and EVS. Where does that take this controversy? How do they drag Eric kicking and screaming to an open and honest conversation, how does Eric face the music without alienating his fans who think he’s infallible, and the same for Ethan in regards to him being an abject f*ck from time to time?
I actually think that would be easy, if Eric can come out and take criticism, acknowledge where he fucked up that would go a long way, but how do you admit you filed a harassment charge against an innocent neckbeard without losing face? Does Eric have it in him to admit genuine fault? I’m not sure he does… I’m sure Erics fans and Eric will argue that Riley is an unhinged aggressive weirdo. When will you guys get it through your skull, Eric is even MORE aggresive and petty than Riley and has done more to escalate this bullshit than anyone. If anyone needs protection from the other it’s Riley who needs protection from Eric using his stature to destroy his life, as well as the character attacks and rallying his base to go after him.
For all the character attacks Eric July makes on others, if he wants to see the person most responsible for the attacks and protests against his business, he needs to take a look in the fucking mirror.
It’s a fascinating situation, and one has to wonder if maybe the blaze is seeing a potential ally in EVS, a business partner. Maybe they can double dip and help fuel this spectacle while promoting and capitalizing and the whole of the indie comic space. Could you imagine if comic gate kings did their own Rippaverse style multiverse of high quality with the same promotional power that Rippaverse had? With quality books… heck they could even do some politically charged stuff they could sell directly to the blaze audience. The mind wanders…
You can’t overlook the fact that ISOM #1 made over 3 million dollars. But Yaira is falling hard, between all the upkeep costs and who knows what % “friends” and fellow youtubers get for promoting these comics.
Simply put, the venture of the Rippaverse is facing a rapid decline from which there is no respite with the current trajectory of things. But in the greatest plot twist in history, maybe out of this beef between Rippa and EVS that could end up being a saving grace of Rippaverse.
Could you imagine if EVS and Young Rippa got to come together to make something incredible. I’ve said it before i’ll say it agian, Rippa ist he ultimate hype man, EVS is the ultimate comic book creator (and a fantastic personality in his own right). Together, and with Alex Stien, they might be able to create the WWE of comic book creating and combine interesting personalities with art!
Might be reading too much into this, but seeing Alex Stein and EVS together having this chat was VERY interesting. Just when I think this drama couldn’t get any crazier an entirely new layer unfolds.
I’d love to see all these guys grow, and to be fair, maybe down the road if Eric learns to be a bit humble, maybe we can see EVS apologize for being such a fucking douche nozzle. Probably not, but interesting to see what happens next!
ROFL, it’s ridiculous that this is the fucking drama i’m most intrigued by. Not house of the dragon, not star wars, well, maybe politics is the only thing more captivating for me, but my main source of entertainment these days, is watching EVS and Eric July’s beef over comics gate. What a fucking time to be alive.
