What's the creative team for these comics? If the first issue isn't coming out until August then how about some reassurance that the people working on it are good.
>Written by the founder of Rippaverse Publishing, Eric July, this book not only serves as the beginnings of a new character, but also as a launching pad for what will inevitably be an ever-expanding comic book universe. With pencil and ink work from industry veteran Cliff Richards and color-work from Gabe Eltaeb, this book could only be an intriguing, explosive experience. Letterer Eric Weathers applied his undeniable touch to help bring this 96-page book to life.
How much do you guys pay in your (non US) coutry to get the #1 comic?
Because I would gladly spend 35 for 96 pages of non wokeshit fun, but 100 to get it to Italy is a bit too much for my tastes

The entire point is just to find shit to complain about. Do you honestly think they give a shit about what they say? I mean one of them literally went on a rant about how they won't watch Kenobi because of Reva and once it was released he was there watching every episode to make videos about it.Hell if anything they LOVE this woke shit because it gives them money. Even Eric whose entire comics premise is that it isn't political needs to rely on politics to sell his product. It's all they have
Why do you leftists always do this? Always repeating the same shit over and over again, even after it's been explained countless times what counts as woke and what doesn't.
What do you think is better?
Raceswapping whites into blacks, passing "mantles" from whites to blacks, making black clones of white characters
or
Making original black characters
Rippa hates the former and wants to have more of the latter, so he's making his own comic feature a black character. That's it. Him making his protagonist black isn't the epic self-own that you guys think it is.
If the dude is complaining about Black Panther then that's not a swap or a mantle or a clone. That's an original character and it's still getting hate.
Last time I recall Black Panther is not any of the former and it still was accused of being woke identity politics. Are we going to pretend that his team didn't make hundreds of video on Black Panther?

conflating the character of Black Panther with the media campaign that surrounded the film and the themes of the actual film is either willfully ignorant or a shitty debate tactic. Most of the reviews I recall from these "right wing fascists" said it was your average capeshit and even praised Boseman's performance.

Mind linking me the video where he complains about Black Panther? As far as I could tell he likes the character.
The aim of Rippaverse threads now are to poison the well. A detractor is more than likely the OP for this one. Truth be told there isn't much to discuss until the comics are shipped. It'd be nice if there was a lot of fan speculation going on like in pretty much any other trailer/preview/teaser thread but discord trannies have gotten their ill fitting panties in a twist over this and now only seek to throttle the fledgling business in the cradle or garner enough ill will as to make the property toxic to any and all future discussions. There are also just garden variety shitposters who have nothing better to do than bait both sides.

Rippa himself refuse to foster fan speculation. Even the rippaverse subreddit don't talk about the comic. Normally when you sell a product you space out teaser and information about the product. All rippa did is talk about the people he made angry and the amount of money he made.

Okay, let me put it in itty bitty words you can understand: when it comes to the definition of words and terms, you want to be as precise as you can. When I say 'door', we all picture a door, we know what that is. If I say 'go to the door', you understand it instinctively. We can all agree on this, right?
Now, if a literal random child comes to you and says 'that's not a door, that's a revolerapus', you're going to tell them they're wrong. They can scream and stamp their feet because 'revolerapus' is a bullshit madeup term. You know it is, no one says 'revolerapus', it's a word that hasn't existed until I typed it 30 seconds ago.
But for some reason, can't imagine why, you're willing to die for the idea that Urban Dictionary is a valid source for real terms and words, despite any chucklefrick being able to add multiple, often contradictory definitions to anything on the site.
K then.

As opposed to dying on the hill of expecting a definition from a Cinemaphile user? Get real dipshit, and how is "forced diversity" equivalent to a word just pulled out of your ass? It's commonly used and you know that. It's like if you asked me to define "weeaboo", you and I both know you're not going to just find that in any dictionary, but it's been used millions of times, and even when used incorrectly, usage of it always trends towards a common idea, just like all those definitions on Urban Dictionary. You have literally no argument and now you're desperately clutching on to this "Urban Dictionary isn't good enough for my standards" shit, even though you expected a Cinemaphile user to define it for you earlier.

It's completely irrelevant whether you believe that forced diversity exists in real life or not. Your example of adamantium, wakanda, whatever, makes literally no sense.

It wasn't made up on the spot in this thread. You're the one actually proving that point, since right now you're trying to shift this to arguing about whether forced diversity is real or not in real life, showing you know the meaning of the term.

Which definition of forced diversity is the correct one?
Is turning a non-black character black forced diversity?
Is having a minority is a historical setting forced diversity?
Is the act of adding a minority into a story make it forced diversity?
Is having a non-white character in a fantasy setting forced diversity?
If it's all of the above then that would make pretty much every story forced diversity

The funny thing is, personally, I get the idea behind it. I disagree with say, turning that Viking Jarl or those Targs black for instance. Stuff where the intent of a scene is clearly a dictionary dump of [insert bullshit "sexuality"/"gender"] here fits the bill too and shouldn't be tolerated in my opinion. But the problem is I've seen the term used in places where it makes no sense. Random background character mentions his boyfriend in one scene and is never brought up again? Forced Diversity. Black guy in an anime? Forced Diversity, with "Western influence on anime" to boot. Heaven forbid any of them read Tenjou Tenge or something. The definition is completely inconsistent and thus, the term is meaningless.

Just stop with this bullshit about how the term is arbitrary. Saying something is "racist" can be considered completely arbitrary now given how often it's applied poorly, but when it IS used everyone knows exactly what the intended meaning behind the word is. No one goes "Can you define racist? Do you mean systemic racism? Do you mean prejudice? Do you mean-". The dumbass questions you just asked are completely obvious. Take these for example: >Is having a minority is a historical setting forced diversity? >Is the act of adding a minority into a story make it forced diversity? >Is having a non-white character in a fantasy setting forced diversity?
Think about it. Someone who hates forced diversity, but wants to purchase a comic featuring a black character, what would he answer to these? You know exactly what the answer will be.

The problem is that "forced diversity" as a term seems to change meaning depending on who's using it. It's been battered in the same way "Nazi" or "SJW" have been. Have you watched Midsommar? Almost completely all-white cast, yet I've still seen complaints of "forced diversity" because the American friend group has one black guy in it. The Ritual? One of the MCs has a black wife, and Cinemaphile jumped on that as more "forced diversity". And that's just 2 random movies. I don't like how the meanings of many terms nowadays have become contradictory and meaningless.

Asking someone to just define a bunch of commonly used terms in a row with no clear goal or reason given is always, ALWAYS because the asker trying to score epic gotcha moments as it goes on.

Why are you seething a people being interested in normal entertainment for normal people?
Dude, you can read indie comics and manga for free. There are so many established indie creator you can support for less money. It's crazy that you spend that much money on a guy who never wrote or book.
i would pay for digital but this homie is like all them other pieces of shit from comicsgate that wanna keep scarcity and tight lips around the actual insides of their products.
The warehouse with the comics is going to "burn down" and since they crowdfunded the comic he won't have to give a refund. It's why he's arguing with PayPal because he realized he couldn't pull of his scam with them
I've yet to hear a good reason why the book is $15-20 more expensive than books of comparable length and given the fact that now the guy's fans are trying to justify him being able to cash out without actually delivering on the product? It's not a good look.
>$15-20 more expensive than books of comparable length
Probably because he's an unproven asset and he can't guarantee he'll be a return client to the printer like Marvel or DC.
Apparently the most 'popular' tier is a 90 page book - signed, admittedly - that retails for I think $50? I've seen $35 and $50 mentioned, which may be different things, the $35 one may be the same book without the signature. Either way, I own signed books and trades I've gotten from established writers and artists that were significantly less, and that includes the cost of the book.
>$35-50 USD + shipping for a sub-100-page book
And these people really don't get they're getting fleeced?
I mentioned in an earlier thread I had books, mostly trades, signed by Andy Diggle and Jock (the first Losers trade, so good), Warren Ellis, Grant Morrison and others and, including the price of the book, none of them cost me more than the equivalent of $40 (I live in the UK, so rough conversion, £10-15 book plus whatever they were charging = $40 give or take). One of the simps said 'nuh uh, the book alone probably cost you more than that!' I literally posted pics of the price tag on the back of the book and they just devolved into a wall of text about how I was shilling for Marvel and DC and if I didn't want to challenge the next big thing then that was fine but I'd better get out of the fricking way because we're coming through and sending everyone who disagrees to the camps oh did I say camps I meant uhhhhhh troony mald yawbnaw btfo leftoid npc

I genuinely can't tell, it just appears to be Giant Room For Fights To Occur In. But in all honesty, I think it's just a bad artist. This makes me think of a fill-in artist who was given an issue of an unimportant mini, maybe Daredevil or Spider-Man, just to see if he had the chops, and when it turned out he didn't he wasn't asked back.

Okay, let's try and fix this. I'm not an artist, and I'm not going to add dialogue, because who knows, maybe the text adds something to the art, but let's see what we can do. I'll be kind and assume an establishing shot was set up in the previous page:
Panel one: overhead view, goons spread out at top of the panel, Rippa's OC at the bottom. One is charging towards him, dead centre of the panel.
Panel two: goon swings, Rippa grabs his hand, eyes narrowed.
Three: Rippa swings the man, teeth gritted, showing this isn't as easy as he makes it look. We can see the goons suddenly look shocked, this was supposed to be an easy 4-on-1, what the frick?
Four: another overhead shot, the guy hits the floor like the Undertaker going through half a dozen tables in a Hell In A Cell match. He looks, as Jim Ross would say, broken in half
Five: Rippa's standing a few paces back from the guy, tensed up, clearly about to do something. He allows himself a smirk, as if to say 'these guys have no fricking clue, do they'.
Six: THE BIG KICKY! Similar set up to the panel we have, but Rippa looks like he's actually fricking launched the guy instead of tried to shoo away a dog. The mooks are scattered like they've just been hit by a cannonball, the other guy actually shows a reaction, maybe recoiling in horror like 'what the frick', maybe scrambling for a weapon.

There's a huge reason as to why I keep comparing them to fans of Belle Delphine. At least those frickers got something unique out of it (gamer girl bath water isn't something I've seen sold before, gotta give her that)

I don't think that was her, probably one of the girls who tried to cash in after the fact. But yeah, she literally made a million dollars in less than 24 hours doing that and, what, three million selling her first porn vid. And she didn't have to promise the sun, moon and stars for it. AND she had the product ready to ship and available immediately! Take that and shove it in your libertarian ideals, Rippa!

Man, if this shit was made by someone else that Rippa guy would have make a thousand videos calling them out.
Apparently the most 'popular' tier is a 90 page book - signed, admittedly - that retails for I think $50? I've seen $35 and $50 mentioned, which may be different things, the $35 one may be the same book without the signature. Either way, I own signed books and trades I've gotten from established writers and artists that were significantly less, and that includes the cost of the book.

Does anyone have a screencap or link to that rippa thread where shill OP says something like "The white chick hero seems to be featured heavily in the art, do you think she and black guy were in a relationship? That would be interesting if written by a based libertarian! Not unlike leftists writers because if they do it it's misgenation porn!"
I love it, it was cope in its finest, undiluted, most pure essence.
I'm suppose to belive the guy whose entire career is based on politics to the point he made an political music album is going to make non-political comics?
Y'know, I hear if you say that making a choice not to have politics in your work is a political statement in itself in a Rippa thread, it summons an autistic Rippasimp who REEEEEs at you, calls you a mald troony yawbnaw commie and tells you you're personally responsible for the deaths of children in the third world.

Truly a new level of pathetic. Rippaverse wouldn't even be a controversy if women and homosexuals weren't allowed to speak.
Nah, see, you get angry because you see a black man in public. We get angry because we see a bunch of simps constantly shilling a book and telling themselves that they're 'owning the libs'.

Just like those dipshit moron truckers protesting gas prices... by driving cross country in their trucks and paying out the fricking nose for gas.
Why don't Mr.enter, Saberspark and LS mark have rabid defenders? YoungRippa is the first time I seen Cinemaphile praise a professional complainer creations.
Is this gonna be like that guy that tried selling "non-political" coffee and lied about the brand and shit because he was jusg really buying another companies coffee and relabling it and marking the price up
stretch goals lmfao
"This is real."
and then every goal after that is "we're buying things!" "you can buy merchandise!"
no promises of things for people who are supporting, no content reveals, nothing. they just want the money. thank god they're anti-woke tho.
The way this guys speaks in the recent paypal video is giving me the exact same vibes of Robert Pelloni(the guy who made Bob's game). Thinking than a giant megacorporation that makes billions on a daily basis is jealous of him, a peniless suburban twat
I've said in previous threads, this is Cinemaphile's bob's game, for the exact same reasons you said: "I'm the little guy standing up to the Corporate Overlords, they're gonna give me the respect I'm due AND THEN THEY'LL ALL BE SORRY'
I swear there's like five different comics with this same moronic concept. Just three random things for the title and concept. How is this shit a niche genre?
When Oglaf started, before they had adverts, all their banners were random jokes. Like one was a cross-section of a dick and it said "The Anatomy of the Penis: Just In Case You Ever Need To Reattach One!"
Anyway, one of the ones I always remember was in a kind of Star Wars font that said 'Wizards In Space Jail: Because Who Needs Originality When You Can Just Mash Random Shit Together!' I think of that banner a lot these days
It's weird, I thought these types of comics died off in the early 10s. Last one I remember reading was some shitty TV pitch about Vampires fighting the Mafia and aliens were also there.
correction which comic in the rippaverse should I start with?
The deadline's going to come and the only thing you'll be reading is an ad for a crypto scam (pardon the redundancy).
Crypto Scam? That's a dumb name for a first comic book.
Dumb, yes. Inaccurate? Time will tell.
How much does Crypto Scam #1 cost now?
$35 bucks, dunno if if includes shipping and handling.
That's a steep price for an unknown comic titled Crypto Scam. Should be $5.99 , maybe $9.99 for a deleuxe edition.
Hahaha, cute. I hope supporting a pump-and-dump to own the libs epic style was worth it.
>to own the libs
Rippa is one of the proudest libs I've ever seen. You're literally what you're trying to mock.

What's the creative team for these comics? If the first issue isn't coming out until August then how about some reassurance that the people working on it are good.
>Written by the founder of Rippaverse Publishing, Eric July, this book not only serves as the beginnings of a new character, but also as a launching pad for what will inevitably be an ever-expanding comic book universe.

Uh-huh.
That didn't happen. Frick off. More fake news from fake msm.
According to rippa and friends blacks in comics is woke shit.
The entire point is just to find shit to complain about. Do you honestly think they give a shit about what they say? I mean one of them literally went on a rant about how they won't watch Kenobi because of Reva and once it was released he was there watching every episode to make videos about it.Hell if anything they LOVE this woke shit because it gives them money. Even Eric whose entire comics premise is that it isn't political needs to rely on politics to sell his product. It's all they have
Why do you leftists always do this? Always repeating the same shit over and over again, even after it's been explained countless times what counts as woke and what doesn't.
What do you think is better?
Raceswapping whites into blacks, passing "mantles" from whites to blacks, making black clones of white characters
or
Making original black characters
Rippa hates the former and wants to have more of the latter, so he's making his own comic feature a black character. That's it. Him making his protagonist black isn't the epic self-own that you guys think it is.
If the dude is complaining about Black Panther then that's not a swap or a mantle or a clone. That's an original character and it's still getting hate.
Last time I recall Black Panther is not any of the former and it still was accused of being woke identity politics. Are we going to pretend that his team didn't make hundreds of video on Black Panther?
conflating the character of Black Panther with the media campaign that surrounded the film and the themes of the actual film is either willfully ignorant or a shitty debate tactic. Most of the reviews I recall from these "right wing fascists" said it was your average capeshit and even praised Boseman's performance.
Mind linking me the video where he complains about Black Panther? As far as I could tell he likes the character.
The aim of Rippaverse threads now are to poison the well. A detractor is more than likely the OP for this one. Truth be told there isn't much to discuss until the comics are shipped. It'd be nice if there was a lot of fan speculation going on like in pretty much any other trailer/preview/teaser thread but discord trannies have gotten their ill fitting panties in a twist over this and now only seek to throttle the fledgling business in the cradle or garner enough ill will as to make the property toxic to any and all future discussions. There are also just garden variety shitposters who have nothing better to do than bait both sides.
Rippa himself refuse to foster fan speculation. Even the rippaverse subreddit don't talk about the comic. Normally when you sell a product you space out teaser and information about the product. All rippa did is talk about the people he made angry and the amount of money he made.
Incorrect. If you actually watch the streams Eric has said he was happy that people were talking about the characters and creating their own fan theories. He said he wouldn't confirm or deny any of them until the comic was in the customer's hands
I hate these fricking breadtubers and their bottom feeder fans that end up crawling here.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Rippa ia not a communist is he?
he's an-cap
Just checking because breadtubers are almost exclusively communist.
don't expect a lot of accuracy in the accusations and name calling in these threads. A lot of frickers are armchair quarterbacking or concern trolling.
>NOOOO YOU CANT POINT OUT HOW FISHY THIS LOOKS YOUR JUST BEING A TROLL! YOU NEED TO SHUT UP AND CONSOOM RIPPAVERSE
Criticise him all you want, but don't call him a breadtuber when he isn't part of their group. It would be like calling George Bush a Canadian.
How much did you send him, btw?
I don't give money to crowdfunded projects.
He didn't send money, he's been sucking this guy's dick for free, just for the privilege to say he was first and he owned those libs hard!
You just can't understand the beauty of 69D chess.
>Because I would gladly spend 35 for 96 pages of non wokeshit fun
Define first what "woke" is.
you already know what it is.
foced diversity, gender/raceswap, gender idolology, overwriting existing lore, themes/characters/stories assimilated by activism, etc
And always couled with decostruction, cynicism and bad writing
Imagine the left equivalent of corporate mandated christian entertainment
>overwriting existing lore,
>And always couled with decostruction, cynicism and bad writing
These are just standard capeshit problems and have nothing to do with identity politics at fricking all. They're just what happens when you rely on 50+ year old franchises for an audience that pitches a fit whenever anything changes.
Revisionist cope.
Those are stales of the woke regime. Yeah, woke didn't create bad writing, but it turned it to 11 while killing the good writing and shitting on the source material out of spite at every corner
Also thaank you for not even trying to debunk all the other points, lmao.
Concession accepted
>Also thaank you for not even trying to debunk all the other points, lmao.

yeah that's what you like to think but comics generally speaking were no where near as overtly political as they are now. they're practically communist leaflets at this point

ok groomer
https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Forced%20Diversity
>urban dictionary
LMAO
>your link doesn't count... BECAUSE!
The point is the term's widely used and it's not just something that poster made up. If you don't like my link, you can look it up online and see hundreds of thousands of people using and defining it. You're just pretending not to know about it so you can do this weak ass "Define this... and that... and this... and that... and this..." until you can hopefully find and nitpick on some minor detail. That's why you completely ignored everything else in the post and just wrote "Define this", because you know you can't say shit about anything else.
Because it's URBAN FRICKING DICTIONARY! I could go on there right the frick now and make an entry saying that the 'Rippaverse' is a far-off land, ruled by libertarians who frick underage boys and girls, because age of consent laws are bullshit, while they have a slave race of spammers who extol the virtues of the Rippaverse and the only point to entry is the long number on the front of your credit card and the last three numbers on the strip on the back. Is it true? Maybe only half of it. Is it as true as anything else you've said? Yes, because it's URBAN DICTIONARY
And that goes against what I'm saying how, you raging moron? Whether it's written in the Meriam-Webster dictionary signed by the queen of England or carved on the ballsack of a dead stripper it has about the same relevance to my point. It's been defined thousands of times before, you're only pretending you never heard of it.
the difference between Meriam-Webster dictionary and Urban Dictionary is that Meriam-Webster doesn't allow a 10 year old to tell you what a word means. but hey man if you enjoy 10 year olds telling you what things mean then by all means be my guest
>but hey man if you enjoy 10 year olds telling you what things mean then by all means be my guest
And it's still a more reliable source of info than the sub-sub-sub-/misc/ cesspools these goobers swim in.
You were asking for the definition from a random anon on Cinemaphile's cartoon board just a few moments ago, how would that be any more reliable than Urban Dictionary? Oh wait don't answer that, I already know the answer, it's because you're a complete dumbass
The point is that he can't point to a real definition with actual documented consistent examples so he has to rely on a website that's known making up comedic definitions of shit than actual meanings of terms
Yeah it is moronic to use that site as a source for anything especially when the definition isn't actually consistent
Yet the definition that you point as the example of it not being consistent was purposely written to try and shit on the widely known and consistent definition of it. You can't answer how a Cinemaphile provided explanation would be better because you know it's not. The poster who asked for it also knows that, he doesn't care because to him it's just a desperate tactic libshits like him use to try and nitpick apart posts because they're unable to actually reply to the main point.
Okay, let me put it in itty bitty words you can understand: when it comes to the definition of words and terms, you want to be as precise as you can. When I say 'door', we all picture a door, we know what that is. If I say 'go to the door', you understand it instinctively. We can all agree on this, right?
Now, if a literal random child comes to you and says 'that's not a door, that's a revolerapus', you're going to tell them they're wrong. They can scream and stamp their feet because 'revolerapus' is a bullshit madeup term. You know it is, no one says 'revolerapus', it's a word that hasn't existed until I typed it 30 seconds ago.
But for some reason, can't imagine why, you're willing to die for the idea that Urban Dictionary is a valid source for real terms and words, despite any chucklefrick being able to add multiple, often contradictory definitions to anything on the site.
K then.
>you're willing to die for the idea that Urban Dictionary is a valid source for real terms and words
As opposed to dying on the hill of expecting a definition from a Cinemaphile user? Get real dipshit, and how is "forced diversity" equivalent to a word just pulled out of your ass? It's commonly used and you know that. It's like if you asked me to define "weeaboo", you and I both know you're not going to just find that in any dictionary, but it's been used millions of times, and even when used incorrectly, usage of it always trends towards a common idea, just like all those definitions on Urban Dictionary. You have literally no argument and now you're desperately clutching on to this "Urban Dictionary isn't good enough for my standards" shit, even though you expected a Cinemaphile user to define it for you earlier.
>how is "forced diversity" equivalent to a word just pulled out of your ass?
Not the same anon but you're just proving my point
Define forced diversity
>Uh I don't have to tell you
So you have no real definition
>I totally do! Look at this urban dictionary entry that all contradict each others definitions while also having to use made up examples
>Uh okay well I'm going to ignore everything you said and ask you to define a word that's been used 3075 times before on this board and gives 189,000,000 results on google
>Don't want to do it? Guess you just made it up
People don't want to bother because everyone knows you're just going to keep asking for definitions like an autist until you find one minor part to b***h about and then act like it invalidates everything the poster says
I'd bet you could find dozens of words, objects and terms from comics that appear ten times as many times on Cinemaphile if you tried: adamantium, Wakanda, Namor, Bat-Radia - it doesn't make them real either.
It's completely irrelevant whether you believe that forced diversity exists in real life or not. Your example of adamantium, wakanda, whatever, makes literally no sense. It's like saying global warming is a fake term because there's people who don't believe in it. My point is that the term itself is widely used with the same meaning. It wasn't made up on the spot in this thread. You're the one actually proving that point, since right now you're trying to shift this to arguing about whether forced diversity is real or not in real life, showing you know the meaning of the term.
Tell me something, just curious, but you brought it up.
Do you believe in global warming? Just a straight yes or no, no need to explain.
The moment I answer that we both know someone's going to use it to discredit what I said earlier, so I'm not going to bother, and no I don't care that me not answering "already gives an idea".
You don't seem to understand my point
Which definition of forced diversity is the correct one?
Is turning a non-black character black forced diversity?
Is having a minority is a historical setting forced diversity?
Is the act of adding a minority into a story make it forced diversity?
Is having a non-white character in a fantasy setting forced diversity?
If it's all of the above then that would make pretty much every story forced diversity
It's almost as if forced diversity isn't a real thing and it's just an arbitrary thing made up by morons
>Which definition of forced diversity is the correct one?
Whichever one allows anon to win the argument at the time.
The funny thing is, personally, I get the idea behind it. I disagree with say, turning that Viking Jarl or those Targs black for instance. Stuff where the intent of a scene is clearly a dictionary dump of [insert bullshit "sexuality"/"gender"] here fits the bill too and shouldn't be tolerated in my opinion. But the problem is I've seen the term used in places where it makes no sense. Random background character mentions his boyfriend in one scene and is never brought up again? Forced Diversity. Black guy in an anime? Forced Diversity, with "Western influence on anime" to boot. Heaven forbid any of them read Tenjou Tenge or something. The definition is completely inconsistent and thus, the term is meaningless.
Just stop with this bullshit about how the term is arbitrary. Saying something is "racist" can be considered completely arbitrary now given how often it's applied poorly, but when it IS used everyone knows exactly what the intended meaning behind the word is. No one goes "Can you define racist? Do you mean systemic racism? Do you mean prejudice? Do you mean-". The dumbass questions you just asked are completely obvious. Take these for example:
>Is having a minority is a historical setting forced diversity?
>Is the act of adding a minority into a story make it forced diversity?
>Is having a non-white character in a fantasy setting forced diversity?
Think about it. Someone who hates forced diversity, but wants to purchase a comic featuring a black character, what would he answer to these? You know exactly what the answer will be.
>minority is historic setting
Depending on the time and place no
>adding minority into the story
No
>non-white in fantasy
No
Not that anon, but you keep pretending this isn't a thing.
>Someone who hates forced diversity, but wants to purchase a comic featuring a black character, what would he answer to these?
The problem is that "forced diversity" as a term seems to change meaning depending on who's using it. It's been battered in the same way "Nazi" or "SJW" have been. Have you watched Midsommar? Almost completely all-white cast, yet I've still seen complaints of "forced diversity" because the American friend group has one black guy in it. The Ritual? One of the MCs has a black wife, and Cinemaphile jumped on that as more "forced diversity". And that's just 2 random movies. I don't like how the meanings of many terms nowadays have become contradictory and meaningless.
So what? It's not hard to still have normal conversations using these terms. Looking back at the original post, a more straightforward question could have been something like "How is Rippaverse not woke/forced diversity?". It gets straight to the point and skips the bullshit. The anon will have to define forced diversity to answer the question, but at least he'll know why he's doing it. Asking someone to just define a bunch of commonly used terms in a row with no clear goal or reason given is always, ALWAYS because the asker trying to score epic gotcha moments as it goes on. People don't want to waste their time with this shit because they can tell it's not genuine.
Rippaverse in general isn't genuine
>Sometimes a person will misuse or exaggerate with a word
Well that's it then, I guess language is meaningless now.
>sometimes
You still can't even define forced diversity
This is forced diversity
>Wall of text
Whoa, the Left can't meme.
wheres the meme? is reading too hard for you? probably shouldnt be on a comics board if thats the case
No, see, three words of complete bullshit in a meme = good because it make good brain bit release happy brain chemicals that make brain go hahaha and make feel good.
Lefty meme that need more words to explain why three words irredeemably stupid bad, because it make brain release thinky chemicals and that no make brain go hahaha.
Simple and wrong = good. Complex and right = bad. It just that simples.
Comics shouldn't have walls of text that amount to untalented hack writers venting about social issues they don't care to get the full picture for.
How's it feel not being able to admit your whole worldview is based on the entries of children that use urban dictionary?

I've yet to hear a good reason why the book is $15-20 more expensive than books of comparable length and given the fact that now the guy's fans are trying to justify him being able to cash out without actually delivering on the product? It's not a good look.
>$15-20 more expensive than books of comparable length
Probably because he's an unproven asset and he can't guarantee he'll be a return client to the printer like Marvel or DC.
Why compare to Marvel and DC, though? His book is much more expensive than a typical independently produced comic,
>$15-20 more expensive than books of comparable length
What? How much is this dude charging?
$35 (+shipping) for a 96 page book.
>$35-50 USD + shipping for a sub-100-page book
And these people really don't get they're getting fleeced?
I mentioned in an earlier thread I had books, mostly trades, signed by Andy Diggle and Jock (the first Losers trade, so good), Warren Ellis, Grant Morrison and others and, including the price of the book, none of them cost me more than the equivalent of $40 (I live in the UK, so rough conversion, £10-15 book plus whatever they were charging = $40 give or take). One of the simps said 'nuh uh, the book alone probably cost you more than that!' I literally posted pics of the price tag on the back of the book and they just devolved into a wall of text about how I was shilling for Marvel and DC and if I didn't want to challenge the next big thing then that was fine but I'd better get out of the fricking way because we're coming through and sending everyone who disagrees to the camps oh did I say camps I meant uhhhhhh troony mald yawbnaw btfo leftoid npc
At this point I'm fully convinced this whole Rippaverse thing is a big scam
Welcome to where the rest of us have been for the last week and a half, grab a hat and join the fun.
thats because it is.
there's ZERO CONTENT. with THREE MILLION dollars in funding. nothing. just art of the characters.
stretch goals lmfao
"This is real."
and then every goal after that is "we're buying things!" "you can buy merchandise!"
no promises of things for people who are supporting, no content reveals, nothing. they just want the money. thank god they're anti-woke tho.
So far they have not reached the first stretch goal of 125,000. Rippa has 30,000 purchases and some of those purchase are not copies but also merchandise.
>only 30K purchases
Jesus Christ, how are 30K people willing to spend about 100 on average? I'd only sink that sort of money on a hardcover collection.
It's not every day you get the option to purchase this kind of generic art, anon.
These hits are lacking in gravity. Though hey, at least it's a page we can talk about.
I like how he has the exact same expression in every panel. I mean, a different artist would have had him gritting his teeth as he throws the guy or smirking as he boots him into the henchmen, but not this one! Also, it's a bold decision to have everyone floating in a void in the first panel. Just because it didn't work for Tite Kubo, and in fact, just because he was infamously mocked for it every time it happened, it didn't put this artist off, and that's brave
the only person in these panels actually DRAWN with a face is the woman and she BARELY has eyeballs lol.
lmao you can tell this shit is just traced over some sort of posing program
I mean, it would go some way to explaining how lifeless it is and why there's zero dynamism in it. Like, this page doesn't excite me, it's just 'people in void, people on floor, overhead shot of a man with one leg, THE BIG KICKY'. And is it supposed to be a house? A hallway? A museum? There's a painting with a light over it which makes me think maybe a museum, because normal people don't usualy do that with wall art. I genuinely can't tell, it just appears to be Giant Room For Fights To Occur In. But in all honesty, I think it's just a bad artist. This makes me think of a fill-in artist who was given an issue of an unimportant mini, maybe Daredevil or Spider-Man, just to see if he had the chops, and when it turned out he didn't he wasn't asked back. It's very amateurish overall.
That's harsh. The art's mediocre, but this kind of mediocre art is common at the big publishers as well. This artist does in fact work for DC and Marvel - this is him on Wonder Woman.
Ah, okay, so he's just a bad artist then, gotcha. Why did Rippa think putting this guy on his main book was a good idea?
Because he can just call you a leftist and beg for more gibs.
I thought this shit was supposed to be "better" though, wasn't it?
It is, because it’s owning the libs, anon. That’s what makes it better, it triggers the people that disagree with my politics and that’s all that matters.
The characters dont look bad but the background is painfully empty
Artist doesn't seem to be big on backgrounds, based on the pages released so far.
Or details. For a big splash page you'd think he could be arsed to put laces on the boots but I guess not
Yea, this is about what I'd expect from bog-standard comic action.
Okay, let's try and fix this. I'm not an artist, and I'm not going to add dialogue, because who knows, maybe the text adds something to the art, but let's see what we can do. I'll be kind and assume an establishing shot was set up in the previous page:
Panel one: overhead view, goons spread out at top of the panel, Rippa's OC at the bottom. One is charging towards him, dead centre of the panel.
Panel two: goon swings, Rippa grabs his hand, eyes narrowed.
Three: Rippa swings the man, teeth gritted, showing this isn't as easy as he makes it look. We can see the goons suddenly look shocked, this was supposed to be an easy 4-on-1, what the frick?
Four: another overhead shot, the guy hits the floor like the Undertaker going through half a dozen tables in a Hell In A Cell match. He looks, as Jim Ross would say, broken in half
Five: Rippa's standing a few paces back from the guy, tensed up, clearly about to do something. He allows himself a smirk, as if to say 'these guys have no fricking clue, do they'.
Six: THE BIG KICKY! Similar set up to the panel we have, but Rippa looks like he's actually fricking launched the guy instead of tried to shoo away a dog. The mooks are scattered like they've just been hit by a cannonball, the other guy actually shows a reaction, maybe recoiling in horror like 'what the frick', maybe scrambling for a weapon.
>We're buying a cargo van for the orders!
Uh. You know you can just, like... rent a van, right? They're pretty cheap. Also that's something you should probably have at least thought of before even launching the campaign. There's just so much about this that screams "we didn't plan any of this in advance beyond 'make libs mad and spam on popular comic boards'."
Also I like how most of the other options are so vague, they may as well be replaced with the words 'jangly keys'. "New Item: jangly keys!" "More jangly keys!" "Announcement of Fan (weird capitalisation, but okay) art contest with HUGE jangly keys!"
This is proof politics rot the brain, everything I’ve heard regarding this dude has been about him shitting on “the left” and he now has a successful “comic” that hasn’t even shipped to anyone yet. This might be one of the biggest political pimpings I’ve ever seen in a minute. If I make something under the pretense of “owning the left” will I also get a bunch of dipshits to support me?
try it and find out
idiots keep giving them money thinking they are fighting for something important. They don't have much fans but they got a lot of paypigs.
>They don't have much fans but they got a lot of paypigs
There's a huge reason as to why I keep comparing them to fans of Belle Delphine. At least those frickers got something unique out of it (gamer girl bath water isn't something I've seen sold before, gotta give her that)
>Belle Delphine
Didn’t this chick also sell her viewers farts in a jar? Fricking kek.
I don't think that was her, probably one of the girls who tried to cash in after the fact. But yeah, she literally made a million dollars in less than 24 hours doing that and, what, three million selling her first porn vid. And she didn't have to promise the sun, moon and stars for it. AND she had the product ready to ship and available immediately! Take that and shove it in your libertarian ideals, Rippa!
Man, if this shit was made by someone else that Rippa guy would have make a thousand videos calling them out.
Yeah , I'm not buying Crypto Scam #1
Apparently the most 'popular' tier is a 90 page book - signed, admittedly - that retails for I think $50? I've seen $35 and $50 mentioned, which may be different things, the $35 one may be the same book without the signature. Either way, I own signed books and trades I've gotten from established writers and artists that were significantly less, and that includes the cost of the book.

>ANGRY that PayPal won't let him have his money until he delivers a product
>Uses his own website without any third party to verify his sales so he can easily fudge the numbers
>Uses the same tactics as GG comics even though everyone says it isn't a GG comic
>Lables sales as crowdfunding so he doesn't have to give refunds.
Smells fishy to me
Stop asking questions you leftist troony.
sales as crowdfunding so he doesn't have to give refunds.
Okay that part is new to me and the most scummy if true
Does anyone have a screencap or link to that rippa thread where shill OP says something like "The white chick hero seems to be featured heavily in the art, do you think she and black guy were in a relationship? That would be interesting if written by a based libertarian! Not unlike leftists writers because if they do it it's misgenation porn!"
I love it, it was cope in its finest, undiluted, most pure essence.
I like the one where an anon gives constructive criticism on Rippaverse by saying what Valiant did and Rippaverse gays blew a gasket
>what Valiant did
Frick over Shooter?
How is this a Universe with only a few characters ?
I got told to "seethe" when I asked that.
I'm suppose to belive the guy whose entire career is based on politics to the point he made an political music album is going to make non-political comics?
Y'know, I hear if you say that making a choice not to have politics in your work is a political statement in itself in a Rippa thread, it summons an autistic Rippasimp who REEEEEs at you, calls you a mald troony yawbnaw commie and tells you you're personally responsible for the deaths of children in the third world.
>cites Urban fricking Dictionary as a 'source'
May as well just point to a small pile of crack pipes and tell them it's revealed the secret truths of the universe to you.
Man, it's gonna be hilarious, when he just takes the money and runs away with it.
>holes are still crying after TWO WEEKS
Truly a new level of pathetic. Rippaverse wouldn't even be a controversy if women and homosexuals weren't allowed to speak.
>homieverse
This is not the big 2 alternative you're looking for.
Imagine telling someone ten years ago that a black man standing up to the establishment made the LEFT angry.
And are those angry Lefts in the room right now?
>n-noo actually leftists never got mad at this comic they haven't been seething on here and reddit non-stop!
Gaslighting failed, b***h
>reddit
go back
Nah, see, you get angry because you see a black man in public. We get angry because we see a bunch of simps constantly shilling a book and telling themselves that they're 'owning the libs'.
We are not the same.
>We get angry because we the free market supporting a BIPOC author's diverse book
FTFY troony
No, you're right, that was unfair of me, I'm sorry.
What I should've said was 'you get angry because you see a woman in a Star Wars movie'.
Yeah they got so angry leia and mara jade oh wait they didn't, you're the one who got triggered at male protagonists and tried to destroy them all. KYS homosexual
How soon we forget
>Buying toys you hate in bulk so you can destroy them to own the libs
>I will buy this product that I hate only to destroy it
>ignore the fact that the mega corporation doesn’t care about anything other than my money, I’m making a statement here
Just like those dipshit moron truckers protesting gas prices... by driving cross country in their trucks and paying out the fricking nose for gas.
>BIPOC
>diverse book
sounds kinda woke
Why don't Mr.enter, Saberspark and LS mark have rabid defenders? YoungRippa is the first time I seen Cinemaphile praise a professional complainer creations.
Is this gonna be like that guy that tried selling "non-political" coffee and lied about the brand and shit because he was jusg really buying another companies coffee and relabling it and marking the price up
That's actually the best case scenario
why aren't the comics released yet? aren't they finished and all?
they will never release. it isn't real.
see
Why i suspect some of the paypal purchasers are gonna frick him up and refund the money back just after they receive the comic?
Troons weren't even this mad over Trump.
Of course not, they not allowed to cancel black people regardless of their politics.
are these troons in the room with us right now?
The way this guys speaks in the recent paypal video is giving me the exact same vibes of Robert Pelloni(the guy who made Bob's game). Thinking than a giant megacorporation that makes billions on a daily basis is jealous of him, a peniless suburban twat
I've said in previous threads, this is Cinemaphile's bob's game, for the exact same reasons you said: "I'm the little guy standing up to the Corporate Overlords, they're gonna give me the respect I'm due AND THEN THEY'LL ALL BE SORRY'
Dixonbros thanks to based Rippa, we did.
I swear there's like five different comics with this same moronic concept. Just three random things for the title and concept. How is this shit a niche genre?
When Oglaf started, before they had adverts, all their banners were random jokes. Like one was a cross-section of a dick and it said "The Anatomy of the Penis: Just In Case You Ever Need To Reattach One!"
Anyway, one of the ones I always remember was in a kind of Star Wars font that said 'Wizards In Space Jail: Because Who Needs Originality When You Can Just Mash Random Shit Together!' I think of that banner a lot these days
It's weird, I thought these types of comics died off in the early 10s. Last one I remember reading was some shitty TV pitch about Vampires fighting the Mafia and aliens were also there.
