ComicsGate in Pictures

Chris Braly of Bleeding Fool provides proof of the SJW convergence at Marvel and DC that led to #ComicsGate, complete with visual aids. The following tweets were all posted by former and current creators with Marvel and DC Comics. It is utterly baffling to me how some normal people can…

How to Argue with SJWs

How to Argue with SJWs

Experience shows that the best advice on how to argue with SJWs is that you shouldn't. You should mock them relentlessly instead. A relatively recent demonstration from Twitter: Lesson 1: Do not answer SJWs' questions. Make them answer yours. As you can see, I set a trap designed to be…

Mech America Great Again

Mech America Great Again

The big news out of this year's E3 is that there hasn't been much news out of E3. Devolver Digital has managed to liven up the rather dismal proceedings with their announcement of a remastered version of Metal Wolf Chaos. Of not is that the announcement caused a stir not…
