Aaron diaz

sup, Cred Forums
so a few years back, I started reading dresden codak. over the years, it's become increasingly apparent that the author, aaron diaz, is a massive prick, and I've been roughing out a list of times he's displayed how much of an asshole he can be
full disclosure, I'm doing a youtube series about lolcow webcomic authors because I think it'll be funny and there's a decent number of them to pick from
the thing is, it's harder to write about diaz because he's not a talentless hack like andrew dobson or tim buckley. he has legitimate artistic talent, but he's slow as fuck, so the nonsense he spews about socialism and feminism on twitter's been my main source of humor
basically, what major shit has gone down with aaron diaz involved?

Individual incidents aren't important. The more fundamental issue is that he constantly whines about female objectification, yet in his own comic he literally CANNOT stop fetishizing his own cyborg waifu.

He's a vitriolic hypocrite who only has "talent" in the sense that he's been drawing long enough that his art looks serviceable to the general masses. In reality he's dreadfully uncreative, lacks any concept of character design, and couldn't write an interesting story if his life depended on it. He's not even remotely self aware, and has a track record of blaming other people for his own failures.

Fuck that ventriloquist dummy looking prick.

The girls in his comics are hot as fuck, that's the only reason i buy his merch

His "asian" characters make me really uncomfortable. Like it's some sort of weird fetish

that's fair, but I'd need a couple of examples of him really being a bitch to get the point across. I remember him getting into a pointless fight with someone who called him out on his character designs on tumblr, but that's mostly it
there's also the fact that his patreon top reward tier is a guaranteed comic page every two weeks, something he's never, ever done (even though he makes enough money to do so)

>female objectification

you could talk about how he used his patreon money to hire an intern to lighten his workload then proceeded to still have a glacial update schedule but continue to find time to shitpost on twitter

Sorry I can't be more helpful. Honestly I can't be bothered to spend time googling someone who enrages me so much. My blood pressure doesn't need that.

he actually hired the intern? the plot thickens
no big deal, man, I know what you mean. I used to follow him on twitter ironically until it gave me the shakes

...

Will Eisner is a mediocre white man.

Fuck, beat me to it

>Tom Preston
>talentless hack
What if I told you once upon a time, Tom Preston had legit skill and showed promise as an animator? Not sure what happened to him though after 2007. Got lazier/depressed it seems.
youtube.com/watch?v=m6FNbRW1oYE

If your interested in writers who are horrible people /mlp/ has some horror storys about there comics.
That cover eas clearly incestual damit why cant she just admit it.

Diaz a shit

>lolcow

Diaz is a prick but you kiwifarms assholes are somehow more pathetic. Aren't you busy reading up on Chris Chan's PSN history or something?

Bit of projection there, user, lolcow has been a word for quite a while

stop being so defensive

he apologized the next day

for calling him white

>aaron diaz, is a massive prick, and I've been roughing out a list of times he's displayed how much of an asshole he can be
>I'm doing a youtube series about lolcow webcomic authors
Dunno man, I know we are Cred Forums and all but this is the same call out shit tumblr does all the time.

>omg don't follow this person because she said racist shit like "coloured artbook" instead of "artbook of color", she's also a pedophile apologist because she enjoys Voltron
etc.

Diaz is the biggest asshole on the Internet but while talking shit about these guys here, it's contained to us as a group. When you put this call out stuff out there, it goes beyond your hands.
Let's not be assholes outside of Cred Forums. Just my two cents

this is like that one time Sonic talked shit about MN9

Only difference is that Sonic has credibility.

Those who can, do.

Those who can't, shit on those who can.

Same as it ever was... Same as it ever was...

...

Top kek

Oh the irony.

I remember reading the Tweet Diaz did calling getting paid... what? 5000 dollarydoos, twice a month? for his mediocre, confusing (but visibly alright) webcomic that he updates maybe three to four times a year tantamount to working as a fucking coal miner.

Man, it'd make sense if Diaz had like... you know, a job or something, but no. He has patreon bux and he's basically being paid to retweet every shrieking harpy on twitter and make bad redesigns of comic book characters.

(Though admittedly, I liked his idea for Spoiler as a sniper... broken watch, etc.)

Scammer thread?
Scammer thread.

Make fun of the people who fell for his scam, even though he demonstrated beyond any doubt that any sloth can run faster than he draws and most plants grow faster than his hand moves the stylus.

>Will Eisner
>white

If that were true, people would've listened to him.

He's an obnoxious douche with a gynoid fetish. I used to follow Dresden Codak for the barely dressed cyborg girl but between and his complete inability to lay out panels, I just sort of lost interest.

He also redesigned Cyborg as a steampunk version of the black guy from the IT Crowd so not only is he pretentious, but he has terrible taste.

I've never seen this before, I think I'm having a heart attack.

What a cunt

To be fair, "a steampunk version of the black guy from the IT Crowd" is an excellent concept, because Moss is great.
I just wouldn't want it for Cyborg. Diaz has no fucking idea what the appeal of these characters is. I do like his ideas for Power Girl and Wonder Woman though, Diana having a stone "battle mode" is a neat concept

Hold up, is this image from before New52 Earth 2? That's literally Jay's helmet right there.

What? No. It's shitty redesigns

Sad thing is, those redesigns are, as a whole, his "best" ones.
You want a real shitshow, look at his X-Men, where literally all of them are obviously not human due to things like Rogue's pointed ears and Jean's cracked skin, except for Kitty Pryde, who looks otherwise completely human, and is also the leader.

>except for Kitty Pryde, who looks otherwise completely human, and is also the leader.


And who totally does not resemble Ashly Burch, in any way.

Oh, I forgot to mention, his version of Jean Grey is a lesbian who has a crush. I'll give you three guesses as to who she has a crush on, and the first two don't count.

WHERE THE FUCK IS THE REST OF STAR WARS '99

I like that Flash is brown and Green Lantern is Ashley Burch. Way to upset the white male establishment. Hooray for diversity.

>. I'll give you three guesses as to who she has a crush on, and the first two don't count.
Iceman?

>Sad thing is, those redesigns are, as a whole, his "best" ones.
What, you mean you didn't like sniper Robin whose also blond Ashly Burch?

>full disclosure, I'm doing a youtube series about lolcow webcomic authors because I think it'll be funny
Cred Forums, why are you doing OP the wannabe e-celeb's work for them?

Because we hate Aaron Diaz. Duh.

to be fair, that intern is kinda hilarious

I've heard he very creepily based his main character's design on Ashley Burch after she declined to go out with him several times, but I don't think the timetable of her videos matches up with when he started his comic, or something. Anyone have any insight into this?

Among other things, he's tried to build up some Hispanic cred by talking about his abuela from Cuba.

Look at the OP pic and feel his Hispanic legacy wash over you.

Looks like nobody told him Tumblr doesn't give a flying fuck about white-passing non-whites.

i think it's just a meme that took off because he draws a lot of female characters with a sameface that kinda looks like her

idk if people unironically believe it, there doesn't seem to be much evidence that they've interacted in real life

>Will Eisner's legendary status is a shining example of how far you can go when you're a mediocre Jew
And then Diaz was Cred Forums.

You're probably right, I've poked around and Cred Forums is the only source of the rumor I can find.

Apparently it was in response to some abuela refs Hillary made? The offense would have held more weight if Aaron wasn't whiter than she was, and trying to tap into the Hispanic Cred.

It's sort of like the soccer moms who find out they have a fraction of First Nations ancestry in their family tree, then deck out their homes in Native American decor to get in tune with their people.

Wow, Green Lantern's projections come out of her tits?

I mean, come on, it's 2016!

Yes. I'm aware.
What I'm asking is if Diaz drew that before Nicola Scott came up with the Earth 2 redesigns, because the helmet on Diaz's Flash is practically identical to the helmet on Earth 2 Jay.

>Stephen Brown
>Has nothing better to do I guess
>I guess

What's with it and modern writers using "I guess" as some sort of attempt at humor?

I promote the meme because I think it's funny, I actually don't know anything about either of them. I missed Burch's fifteen minutes of internet fame and don't really know anything about her, except that Tiny Tina was annoying as hell.

thank you based mary

Yeah the rest of that concept is pretty shit, but Clay Golem Wondy is an interesting angle that I would like to see in an Elseworlds. Lots of Pygmalion parallels.

I'm glad she said it because if a guy did, it would have been all "cry some more, manbabies, your male tears are delicious."

Of course the fast one is black.

It's just one of those speed walking outfits. There's a sport where they wear them.

Indian, actually.

>the author, aaron diaz, is a massive prick
BREAKING NEWS: water is wet.

Diaz is a fantastic case study in how a terrible personality can cripple the chances of even someone relatively talented. Sure we take the piss out of say, Dobson, but has has both a severe lack of talent AND charisma. Diaz is actually not that bad of an artist, he's just such an insufferable prick - If he was less thin-skinned and preachy and more laid-back, humble and dismissive of bullshit twitter drama people probably wouldn't have a problem with the guy.

In a way I'm glad to have lived through the era of virtue signalling holier than thou SJWs, because it taught me valuable lessons about how NOT to behave as a person who actually wants to work in the creative industries. Make friends not enemies. Agree to disagree. Have a sense of humour about yourself and don't make things personal. Do not put all your eggs in a basket and then load the basket onto the latest fad bandwagon and let it take you wherever the drivers are going, because sooner or later they're going to drive you over a cliff.

Actually in this case GL is Yuko Ota, far more talented artist who last I checked is still on speaking terms with Aaron but I haven't followed either of their stuff much lately.

Wondy's costume isn't bad but I'd prefer pteruges to a skirt; they make her look more militant. The marble thing I could take or leave but the stature's right.

Green Lantern is just Green Lantern, but a girl. She would blend right into the background of any Lantern Corps group shot.

Supes is too intentionally anachronistic - as if he buys all his clothes in the 1930s. For what purpose?

Cyborg looks like someone asked, "what if Richard Ayoade worked for Aperture Science?" I don't think that's a question that needed to be asked or answered.

Power Girl is just Power Girl, minus the boob window because it's 2016 come on, and any hint of chromatic variation because bright colors are too cartoony. Also, why is she here?

Flash's costume could work but he's ambiguously brown because diversity - is he black? Latino? Arab? It doesn't matter since casuals have no idea who Wally West or Barry Allen are, anyway.

And I'm not sure what's going on with Martian Manhunter but it looks ridiculous.

I have a little bit

I know this tweet was posted already but just add Gran to the list of webcomic ladies who are officially sick of Diaz's shit

>I'm doing a youtube series about lolcow webcomic authors

You're approximately 12-4 years too late on that. Lolcows in webcomics was a much bigger thing before when weeaboos and furries bloated the ranks of webcomics, not so much anymore.

I remember him spending an entire day wanking himself off for coming up with the idea of a female Link first, when Linkle was announced, and his echo chamber was heaping praise on him for DARING to give a female Nintendo character a serious expression instead of the giddy character Linkle is. Of course Zelda is fairly serious in most of her Adult appearances, with Skyward Sword being the odd man out, and Diaz ALWAYS draws his women with resting bitch face, but god forbid his fans ever acknowledge that.

What is a Diaz fan? I have never encountered such a person.

A bit older incident, but just to clarify that Aaron Diaz has been a prick his entire abortive "career":

webcomicoverlook.com/2014/04/07/wco239-dresden-codak/

El Santo made a review of Dresden Codak, gave it 3 stars. Aaron Diaz threw a bitch fit and called it a "scathing review" because Santo didnt give him 5 stars. The rest of the conversation cant be found anymore, the screenshot is gone and Aaron in a true lolcow-fashion protected his tweets an hour or two afterwards for a time and pretended nothing ever happened. Especially when someone finally found the review he was talking about and was laughing about the fact Aaron Diaz is such an insecure little baby that he cant handle if people say his comics are merely "ok".

For extra, heres the John Solomon reviews on Dresden Kodack from WAY back when "Your Webcomic is Bad and You should Feel Bad" was still a thing":

badwebcomicsarchive.blogspot.fi/2008/03/dresden-codak.html

badwebcomicsarchive.blogspot.fi/2008/04/dresden-codak-part-ii.html

This is all pretty old drama but Aaron Diaz has been the asshole he is his entire life and been a notorious force around the webcomic communities and circles. Nobody really likes him.

What's a resting bitch face?

He had over 19K followers on twitter. They can't ALL be trolls.

As much of a prick as Aaron is, I just can't muster the same kind of hatred as I can for someone like Pillsbury Doughboy here. His dickheadery is forgettable, he's just a generic self righteous asshole without being a complete trainwreck.

I dunno, does he still make thousands every month on Patreon?

It's when your default 'neutral' face has a frown or furrowed brows or something instead of just being blank. So when you're sitting around thinking about nothing, it looks like you're pissed off or bitchy.

Now I see it, thanks user

...

That is a burn for the fucking ages

The fascinating thing I find about these people is that the disconnect where everyone who talks to them who isn't a personal friend, is a stranger. When you're a celebrity (a Z-List Internet celebrity, yes, but a celebrity of some degree), you no longer get to hide behind that cloak. These are the same people who get butthurt over other public persons (politicians, real celebrities, ect) when they similarly say something stupid.

If you have a Patreon, that should be the price you pay. Nobody is a "stranger" to you, they're either a fan or a critic, and unless they're just calling you a faggot cuck, they've got some criticisms you'll probably be better off for hearing and maybe even addressing.

>cheeks
she doesn't age well at all..

>The Model-T's legendary status is a shining example of how far you can go when you're a mediocre white man

- CEO of Fiat

say what you like but Morbi EARNED his block that day

I don't even like Linkle but the perfect confluence of butthurt it brought to Diaz makes my life shine a little brighter

How would he get anything done if he's constantly addressing criticism? I don't remember a lot of professional artists responding to comments

>tfw you're a man and have resting bitch face

Kinda sucks when people ask what's wrong all the time, and the most I can think of is "I dunno, my shirt's itchy?"

I have a natural frown too
sometimes I forget my "gentle smile" is other people's "slightly less murderous scowl"

I worked as a waitress in a restaurant through college and once had a manager who took me aside into his office because apparently my resting bitch face made a few customers think I was about ready to shank someone.

I had no idea it looked that terrible.

I didn't find out until I was 30.

I dunno Aaron, why aren't you working on your art right now instead of monitoring Cred Forums for threads about yourself?

This. Fuck off aaron

He said THAT?!?

Holy sweet fuck.

ironic slacker humor is the 2010's "thing"

twitteraudit.com/dresdencodak
About 13% are bots, apparently.
Seriously, though, what the fuck is going on with Storm's skull?

Actually the proper thing to do is the opposite. It is generally wise to make most of your channels private save for community managing or advertisement. Otherwise its advisable to just shut the fuck up about the stupidest things, because now they have a much larger audience who is ready to pick you apart for every little thing you say.

So the solution is to generally not really care what some faceless nobodies on the internet think. Diaz's mistake is to both invite drama, and revel in it.

>Will Eisner
>One of the creators of the entire fucking medium
>Inventor of the Graphic Novel
>Has an award named after him
>Mediocre White man.

>How would he get anything done if he's constantly addressing criticism?
He's not getting anything done NOW! Motherfucker gets at least $4500 a month on Patreon, which he has apparently said was going to mean bi-monthly comics. He's made two pages in three months.

>Solomons review could be republished word for word today and still be right

You can't really be surprised that a smug, suburban millennial douchebag like Diaz has no idea what it's like to grow up as a poor, inner city immigrant.

...

I dig the Wondy and Supes, even if the Geeks didn't really use unpainted marble like we thought.

Diaz doesn't know shit about Panel Layouts.

Kim's first appearance predates Hey Ash Watcha Playin by a couple of years, unless the strip dates are wrong on Diaz's site. It's possible he adjusted her design over time to be more like Ashley Burch, but it's probably just a coincidence.

To put this in perspective, I've also heard he based Kim on a classmate he admired from afar. No wait, that he asked out but turned him down. No wait, that he asked out several times and made extremely uncomfortable. No wait, that he stalked and was obsessed with for months.

Diaz is enough of a prick (and has enough creeper overtones) that you can make up pretty much any rumour of this type and it'll catch on. Maybe I'm just a skeptic, but I think it's most likely they're all highly exaggerated, if there's any truth to them at all.

i got a few saved of his reaction to Linkle (female Link lookalike from zelda hyrule warriors game) being announced

...

...

Dobson has some skills. You can see that in his earlier work, before he got lazy, complacent, and afraid of challenging himself.

What a prick.

I always liked the reply where somebody said "You're right, Aaron! You HAVEN'T ever designed a Zelda character."

>Getting rid of the Boob Window.

TRANSLATION!
>please use my designs glorious nintendo senpai

That's why Cagle and that one random feminist's takedowns shut him the fuck up for...how long, a year? He's full of shit. You can't rip other people for objectifying women and then draw tons of pinups of your cyborg waifu and call them "empowering." Just admit you like hot chicks. If you want to say people shouldn't constantly obsess over hot chicks, then draw fewer hot chicks.

Also,

>ventriloquist dummy looking

oh fuck, my sides

As an American of Latino ancestry (which Aaron apparently is and not Hispanic), and a fellow Diaz, I ask what the fuck does this mixto think he's doing? He should hand in his Diaz club card and forfeit all the benefits they contain. We want nothing to do with this puto pendejo.

Hey, The IT Crowd is great you pleb.

>want to start my webcomic but im afraid of ending up here

The notion that companies are stealing from YOU when you draw fanart of THEIR PROPERTY. His logic is astounding.

Also, artists benefit hugely from drawing fanart. Drawing copyrighted characters is how nearly all digital artists get most of their exposure.

>even if the Geeks didn't really use unpainted marble like we thought.

For what it's worth, I think he actually acknowledged that in his post. It's been quite a few years since I followed his blog, though, so my memory might be failing me.

In any case, the general consensus whenever this is posted is that Wondy got a pretty good treatment here.

>Latino
>Hispanic
>Spanish

Can someone explain what the difference is here?

found the one fan of diaz

...

Spanish is from Spain, that's the only one I know.

his comic is basically a timeline of his fetishes

You and I are going to have to disagree on that, friend; I find that its particular style of humor is lazy at best and cringe-inducing worst.

But unlike Aaron Diaz, I believe that you're entitled to your opinion and I won't call you names just because it differs from mine.

Yeah it did not go over well, as you'd expect.

bleedingcool.com/2016/04/24/tweeted-then-deleted-aaron-diaz-on-will-eisner/

What a fucking prick.

What a massive fucking spastic

>Hispanic
Refers to Spain and Spanish countries such as in South America
>Latino
Usually refers to Spanish-Caribbean countries such as Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Cuba

They can be interchangeable with each other, but that is something Caucasian and Eurasian people tend to do. People of Latino, Hispanic and Chicano heritage don't tend to mix them up. You'll get a beating if you do.

I wish bad webcomics would review my bad webcomic...

Why would you though? It's really hard to tell unless you hear them speak spanish

Difference is MN9 was a self funded ruse cruse from start to finish. Making the tears delicious when it finally came out.

Sonic is shit but it doesn't trick you into thinking otherwise.

I once asked my padre if we were Hispanic while he was fixing the toilet. In no time flat I got a plunger taken to the back on my knees, knocking me off my feet and hitting my head on the floor. He told me 'We are latino! We are not fish-head eating Hispanics or dirty Chicanos!' Must be some sort of weird cultural provincialism.

I first became aware of Dresden Codak about ten years ago and this is one if the first comics I read. It came across as shallow and pedantic, as if it was written entirely for the purpose of convincing the reader that the artist if just so, so smart. "Intellectual humor! Ha ha. But, also, nerd humor so it's relatable. Look at all of these super smart people doing the kind of things you do, but philosophically, because I read a Wikipedia article on Baruch Spinoza one time."

I didn't give it a while lot of additional thought at the time but, as I became regular on Cred Forums, I got to witness some of these Twitter blowups as they happened. is still my favorite but was pretty great, too.

This so much

I can understand younger artists instinct to tear down those that came before them, but what the fuck, has he not read Will Eisner's work? Has he read the Contract With God collection?

Has he ever written any legitimate, specific criticism of Eisner's work?

Shit, I love Eisner, and I grew up as a poor Jew-hating Northerner in meth country. He depicts poverty so fucking well, the way being poor breaks the illusion of free will and general assumptions about masculinity. I mean fuck, the collection climaxes by shining a fucking brilliant light on the pointlessness and horror of male chauvinism.

I think that is a legitimate interpretation of his work, I'm not a literary critic (basically finished HS and been working my ass off since then) but that seems to be what Eisner was getting at right? I don't see why Diaz wouldn't appreciate the quality of the storytelling. It tells a truth that is relevant today without talking down to its audience.

Maybe he only read 'The Spirit In SPAAACEEE' or something, =P, those were garbage. Better than anything I've ever made, but garbage in comparison to Eisner's other work.

>bleedingcool.com/2016/04/24/tweeted-then-deleted-aaron-diaz-on-will-eisner/

On the one hand I hate Diaz.

On the other, the
>muh female objectification

arguments are ridiculous and childish.

Everyone is wrong and webcomic artists are all bad people.

Mexican.

That last one. Especially that last one.

Don't worry too much. The people on that wiki are often as smug and pompous as the people they're mocking.

He actually made this

user, look at it this way, She's not saying "muh male gaze" is wrong one way or the other, she's attacking him for saying it is, while then using it anyway. Attacking someone for being a hypocrite is a fairly apolitical message.

I don't think you understand, people are turning his bullshit against him, not necessarily promoting it.

It's like if you go on about how the color blue is evil and only rapists use it, but then drive around in a blue car. People are just saying his shit is hypocritical, not the the color blue is bad.

>Maybe he only read 'The Spirit In SPAAACEEE' or something, =P, those were garbage. Better than anything I've ever made, but garbage in comparison to Eisner's other work.

What, the stories where Spirit was on the moon? By that point Eisner wasn't writing or drawing the comic (and he was thinking of ending the feature altogether in favor of doing a different project); Jules Feiffer was writing it and Wally Wood was brought in to do the art. Eisner was generally an editor by then (and remember that at the time--and even still today--comic strips employed ghost artists and writers to assist and it was seen as part of the career; you get successful, you can hire other people to work on your stuff).

Those comics are still worth looking at for the Wally Wood art alone.

That shit should be the same as south american, it's like right next to it. It's also just one country, why not just use the word Mexican? Fucking multiculturalism.

Here's your (you) you filthy bait

For some reason, Mexico isn't considered part of South America.

Ah, I see now. My reading comprehension was fucked.

All comic authors are bad people.

Oh, thanks for mentioning, I just remember reading them years ago and thinking: "The Spirit!" but then being disappointed. I guess I was talking out of my ass more than I thought. Honestly thought that Eisner did the writing on those, though I was aware that somebody else had done the art.

Still talking out of my ass here, but I don't think I'm entirely wrong in saying that the stories themselves were kinda shit?

He does have some genuine moments of creativity. Caveman sci-fi is pretty great, and the dungeons and discourse stuff was clever.

His paneling is usually godawful, though.

The dig at Byrne always cracks me up.

There's some comedy there...

My God I am literally apoplectic now. What a massive cunt.

The only thing cringier than internet artists with an unwarranted ego are people who talk about them

This post should be a Cred Forums banner.

What color was his skin?

I'm hoping to draw attention to Sleepless Domain via derailment, because I like that comic.

The best thing about this is that they used to be roommates.

Oh my god those first four panels are meant to be read clockwise. How fucking dumb IS he?

IT'S NOT TRUE. IT'S NOT TRUE THAT AARON DIAZ RAPED AND KILLED A GIRL IN 1990 AND IF YOU HAVE ANY PROOF THAT AARON DIAZ RAPED AND KILLED A GIRL IN 1990 YOU SHOULD TAKE IT TO THE POLICE IMMEDIATELY.

I was inclined to post something like this too, but with an addendum about how I might be at the very bottom because I complain about the people that complain about internet artists.

We've given birth to a tedious complaint matryoshka doll!

I wouldn't say it's completely bad; I mean it's not bad as a light read but a very far cry from Eisner's own Spirit stories during the late 40's. I've yet to get around to reading all of The Spirit so I can't say for sure how all the Eisner and non-Eisner stuff stacks up.

Fun fact: The dictator on the moon was originally intended to be Hitler. But Eisner felt the "Hitler is still alive" story device became a cliche by then, so he went in and edited the art and text to make it a generic dictator instead.

Definitely gonna steal that one for the video. I'll be sure to credit you.

Was the movie any good?

There are a few good visuals, but no. It wasn't good.

Yeah yeah, fnord phrases. But actually read this one. Cagle uses them in the old, less insane way that actually means something right there. She was right this one time at least. He does do all those things she said. Not caring is fine, but disgust is the wrong reaction in this case. fnord.

I've never been raped before but this is pretty close

Previously. FemLink is old as time.

It just looks good compared to that bazinga thing, which is totally dreadful.

Jews occupy a fairly unique space racially. They get to reap the benefits of being "white" as well as the benefits of being a historically oppressed race of their own, with none of the downsides of either, because the positives across both ends neutralize them. They really do stand at the peak of humankind, using this unique blend of privileges to be the ruling race of society.

Companies should not be able to own "intellectual property".

Because it's part of the North American continent.

Did this motherfucka just insult his betters?

I wonder if Diaz has some kind of... visual dyslexia
do things only look normal to him if they are visually confusing

>second generation cuban
>shit white people say to sound "cultured"
So basically he's white.

I think it was more that they shared a studio (a workspace not an apartment) but yeah, I actually forgot about that

This

He's culturally white like Obama. Which is just as bad.

I'll always appreciate this incident because I got to know Mary Cagles' art which is CUTE.

Mary only used those terms because Diaz uses them himself. She's calling him out on his own bullshit.

Jesus Christ, Tesla must be spinning in his grave. Leave it to Diaz to turn dead scientists into his own douchey mouth pieces.

Can't forget recurring character Tiny Carl Jung from the earlier strips. The joke is that he is weird and also a small dead psychiatrist.

Why does the entire Internet want to fuck this plainly drawn con artist so desperately

Funny you mention this. One of Dark Science's first plot elements was Kim using dead scientists to power a generator by stomping on their legacies and making them spin.

I can find no other references to that image using my sauce magics. Perhaps you are living in a google bubble. I assume that it's meant to be either Mob's mentor or Constantine. Right?

>dead scientists
It was authors. By making terrible movie adaptations of their books.

DESIGNATED RACING STREETS

Also it's separated by Central America, which is also chicano (I think. Nobody cares about central America).

not quite. Obama's direct father is black. Second generation implies that Diaz's Grandfather is Cuban but neither of his parents are. Hence hes pretty much not Cuban. just of "Cuban decent".

Hence he's white but Obama is black -mixed but black- more so if Diaz doesn't even speak Spanish.

yes that is Reigen and the answer to the the other user's question as to why people want to fuck Reigen is becasue he's entertaining and people seem to love bad people that occasionally do good things.

culturally "insert race here" has always been a stupid term. Culture differences are strongest when dealing with nationality more than just blanket race.

If you say culturally wealthy people get indignant, so you gotta say culturally white.

>By making terrible movie adaptations of their books.
Imagine the power generated by Alan Moore!

It's a popular term of art in social justice circles because there's more mystique to calling yourself "culturally black" than there is to saying you're "poor and uneducated."

Nothing will ever replace the power house that is Philip K. Dick.

Go fuck yourself. Blade Runner is iconic

Dick was whoring himself out while he was alive, there is literally no reason to believe that he'd have more shame now that he's dead.

...

Then why didn't he go that far? Sounds like someone is less than mediocre.

>willingly make fan art that's just genderbent AU
>passive aggressively claim Nintendo rips off this "original" idea

>"lol teh greeks were pedos" humor crutch
I mean there are so many more things you could mock those olive-sucking zero deniers for, if you actually read up on them

But the biggest thin-skinned prick right now is the conservative candidate for president.
I mean, thin-skinned penile behavior is not confined to political spectrum. Unless you think he's just pretending to be conservative anyway. The man who said "I have never made a campalign promise, only campaign suggestions" twice being a liar. Surely that must be somehow unlikely.

What

I'm more offended by the fucking panel layout

I think it's incorrect to call Obama mixed.

The man is DILUTED.

Spanish is white people, from Spain, who speak the language Spanish that their people created.

Hispanic is the indigenous people of South America and nearby islands, pr "South American Indians". Spaniards skullfucked them and made them conies from the 1500's to the early 1900's.

Latino refers to all peoples Spaniards did that to, which includes Asians like Filipinos, the people of the Philippines.

The man grew up mainly among one of the oldest families in the country.

He's like Anderson Cooper and the Kennedys, American nobility.

well no, the lettering there is intentionally vague in order to give them a tighter grip on images and names than otherwise; it's a much cagier term than just "copyright", which is why they all love it. Similar to how you're never actually "buying" a game or Steam or other such service, you're only paying to be able to play whatever garbled ball of code a company feels like letting you download, and fuck you if they decide to change it for the worse later, you've played it long enough that a refund isn't happening.

Getting off track here, though. What's important is that Diaz is a lazy, self-absorbed shart.

That's not steampunk. Not even a little.

Dobson is wierd. He can actually make okay comics, but from that one example we've seen, he actually re-works them starting from his best shot to end up the worst possible final result.

Shittywebcomics used to rag on him a lot.

Fuck off back to kiwifarms or wherever you come from. You are the lowest of the low.

>with Skyward Sword being the odd man out,
Well, she actually grew up among people and neither her parents were dead, nore her kingdom conquered.

>Hence hes pretty much not Cuban. just of "Cuban decent".
Percentiles legally matter in the US if you got First Nation members in your family tree, I read. I imagine white people started counting theirs as a trend when the First Nationers started getting casion money handouts based on their percentiles.

Morrison truly is one of a kind.

I don't think I said anything there to suggest I thought positively of Trump, did I? Hating SJWs doesn't automatically mean you love Trump. I'm not even American, it makes no difference to me which of the two wealthy corrupt loud-mouthed liars you elect as figurehead for the private corporations that run your country - I just dislike self-righteous pricks who continue to act like they're the smartest person in the room even when it's painfully apparent they're talking out of their arse.

based Mary-sensei.

I swear to god there's another argument between him and I think her or another female comic artist where he didn't realize they were a girl, called them another guy, and crumpled like a wet tissue when they pointed that out. It was an astonishing 180 in two posts.

>Supes is too intentionally anachronistic - as if he buys all his clothes in the 1930s. For what purpose?
I think it's the only one I like of the bunch. Especially if it were part of some period piece.

>He's culturally white like Obama.
Africans generally end up remarking that there are no Africans in America, just Americans.

And they're right. Even shit white people claim to be especially black, like rap music, fried chicken, dindu nuff and drugs only ever got big because white people engage in it 24/7.

While I do agree it's kind of cool, he also flung shit on twitter about Batman using a gun-like tool in Arkham Knight, and went off about how Batman should never be connected to guns even peripherally.

>it makes no difference to me which of the two wealthy corrupt loud-mouthed liars you elect as figurehead for the private corporations that run your country

Hey, now slow down. Hilary's just going to be another US President, but the other one's basically what everybody wo isn't American imagines when they talk shit about Americans.

It's like having to pick between Putin and actual reborn Stalin.

The best thing about that whole shitshow was a few industry professionals making fun of his redesigns

Video game Batman tortures a perp every five minutes of gameplay as well, that character's more extreme than Miller's Batman.

*CURRY IN A HURRY Plays in the distance*

what the fuck is this paneling

Before, he was actually smug on twitter about DC "copying his ideas".
Did the same thing Linkle was announced.

>Bobby...
>You're a girl

I haven't watched much of her stuff, but she made a pretty good Civ V video, even though Ghandi and Washington should've been swapped.

>Two eyebrows
>One eye
????

>Storm's fucking SCALP
I will never understand this.

Her skull is more deformed than a Klingon's.

Using Alan Moore as a power source is the equivalent of digging too deeply and too greedily.

>Hispanic
>all that nonsense

Hispanic just means someone who speaks Spanish as a first language.

No one would ever, ever call a Filipino a Latino.

Any screencaps?
