      They did this many times. The latest one is pretty amazing. They accused him of being trans-phobic because he made fun of a dude who was transitioning to a woman badly (just a bad wig and makeup, essentially). It probably would have been better to just call him an asshole, but since they called him trans-phobic, he replied, "No, I'm not." They said, "Oh yeah, then donate to a charity for trans people. We know you won't, because you hate trans people." So he donated $10,000 USD to a trans charity. And instead of saying, "Oh we were wrong about you," they said, "We have contacted the trans charity and demanded that they refuse the donation." They are *constantly* wrong about him, and never pay attention to the evidence.

    So, the case was actually "thrown out" as the marvel phrase it. Reality: Meyer sold way more books than expected, therefor the loss of AP doing the print could no longer be considered a loss, but further, Wade had to pay him off to get him to drop the case. So, the case was "voluntarily dropped" by Meyer, after Wade shelled out an undisclosed amount and the primary evidentiary reason for the case no longer applied.

    For the interference claim, the law is on D&C's side. (There is also a defamation claim that isn't as clear cut, but they are separate claims so Waid prevailing on the defamation claim has no bearing on the interference claim.) The only real question is what type of damages will be awarded.

    • @LiteratureDevil
      @LiteratureDevil  6 років тому +26

      I think D&C is suing for the minimum amount required for the case. I personally think he should sue for over a million. That way, even if the judge comes down on damages, Mark Waid will still feel the hit. Because if Waid isn't really punished, then I don't think justice has been done.

    • @whatisbestinlife8112
      @whatisbestinlife8112 6 років тому +26

      @@LiteratureDevil I would guess the point of the minimum damages ask is to emphasize Meyers is not trying to use this lawsuit to get rich. He's using it to make a point about the bullying behavior of Waid/Marvel. And tangentially help protect any indie comics creators in the future from similar bullying, if those creators run afoul of the ideologies currently dominating (and killing) the industry.
      Meyers is smart enough to see how if he asks for as much as he could possibly get, he provides an endless talking point to his foes that he was doing it simply to make money. And Meyers seems quite comfortable and confident in creating projects to make a decent living. He doesn't need to take on the endless, airtime-sucking argument that he did it for the cash. He can easily and quickly defuse such accusations by pointing to the fact that he asked for the minimum when he could of easily asked for more (and likely received a healthy portion of it). He can claim the moral highground of protecting small creators from big publisher bullying, and buttresses the point through his actual behavior.
      And if we are to assume intentions here, it may indeed be true that that's the main reason he's doing it. He could make more from it. He's not because he's trying to make it easier to publish comics that don't adhere to Mark Waid's ideology. His motivation actually is noble.

    I suppose I shouldn't be surprised it STILL hasn't dawned on SJWs that this was a major turning point, at least in the Comicsgate campaign. The line was drawn early on, all that needed to happen was for one side to be stupid enough to cross it first. As for how this will ultimately pan out, the only thing I am fairly certain is that the only way it will be cut and dry is if it stays between Meyers and Waid. The smartest thing for Disney/Marvel to do will be to not get involved and hang Waid out to dry. Meyers may not be an angel but what Waid did represented a line that no one in the Culture Wars was supposed to cross. IF Disney/Marvel get involved... this will quickly turn into a meat grinder. The Disney/Marvel combine has more money then God so they could in theory just lock this up in legal limbo until Meyers ran out of money but the longer the case goes on, the more likely it will cause damage to their public image. Everyone in the Comicsgate theater knows what Waid did and by the summer, the story has since spread out to the other theaters of the larger Geekergate conflict.

      @sadman3515 6 років тому +20

      Ddawg McDawg E;R doesn’t promote anti-semitic content in the context of what I watched. He compares the social justice agenda to Nazi fascism because of the suppression of free speech and freedom of thought. E;R also uses shocking footage to add more cynicism, edginess, and a dystopian feel to his critique. His words at times are crude and harsh, but they emulate the frustration and suppression he feels, IMO. Although, I haven’t seen all his content to verify that completely, I’m sure he’s no Neo-Nazi as much as Pewdiepie is. Using images that have Nazi origin for a comparison or a metaphor is not the same as promoting Nazism. For example, in his Steven Universe video, E;R sums up the creators of the Steven Universe as a fascist indoctrination. It’s why the gem’s “transfer” gives the kid memories and his head is filled with toxic ideology.

    This video was recommended to me. I have zero interest in comics. I had never heard of this story. When the narrator hinted at the start that an SJW was about to get pwoned, I decided to watch. Wow. Well-made, informative video about a topic I couldnt care less about. It was worth the watch.

      Meyer, the host of Diversity and Comics youtube channel and the one attempting to make his own new brand of comics, is a frequent critic of SJW comic writers and likes to expose them in his videos. He has made many enemies among professional writers, especially among Marvel Comics, due to their rampant progressive agenda.

      That was a little jab at the Marvel comics pros who went on a huge smearing and harassment crusade (trying to get him banned from everything, dropping his dox, painting him as a racist, and trying to take advantage of his PTSD so they could legally assault him, etc.) for the crime of saying their comics were terrible. And he recorded most of his comics reviews from the front seat of his car.

    • @jeffwells641
      @jeffwells641 6 років тому +4

      I don't know the video, but I'm pretty sure it's because his Jawbreakers online campaign has outsold just about every major comic released in the last few years. That sparked dozens of other successful campaigns that are outselling the top franchise comics.
      That's the real reason they hate him so much, he's showing that the market for comics is there and Marvel & DC just aren't selling what people want to buy.

  • @aidanmagill6769

    Waid might still get away with it. Proving Waid's call made a difference in a sea of harassment towards AP might be tough.
    And no, arguing the harassers were followers of Waid has no merit without an explicit call to action.

    • @LiteratureDevil
      @LiteratureDevil  6 років тому +14

      It's a possibility. An accuser in these cases usually has an uphill battle. But there are a lot of things Meyer can use.

    • @davida.j.berner776
      @davida.j.berner776 6 років тому +7

      Miscarriages of justice happen all the time, so yeah, there's no guarantee Meyer will win. However, if I remember the Rekieta Law analysis correctly, it isn't necessary to show that Waid was solely or even largely responsible for the contract being cancelled. The mere fact that he DID interfere is culpability enough.
      It's a long time since I watched the video, but I'm pretty sure that was the legal position. Again, even if I'm remembering correctly, I agree that legal action is never certain!

    • @jeffwells641
      @jeffwells641 6 років тому +6

      This is also in Texas, which is very very very VERY pro-business.
      If Meyer can secure a statement from AP that Wade was party of the reason they backed out it's all over. That's unlikely though, IMO, as AP still has to do business with these assholes.

    • @vat_laaw
      @vat_laaw 6 років тому +3

      The subpoena is actually all AP really needs to stay in the comic industries good graces IF marvel let's this entire shitstorm land on Waid. AP gets to say to the publishers they were bound by evidence, Waid's blabbering and law to tell it like it is. If there was reasonable doubt, sure I could see it being fussy with other publishers, but I think Marvel is ready to cut bait with king baby.

    Only way I see Waid getting out of this is if they can somehow prove that AP decided to drop Jawbreakers because of some other reason. Although that would be difficult as Meyer has stated that the then owner of AP had called him afterward explaining the situation.

    I like the minimalist and succinct style of your videos; It puts a strong emphasis on the message you're trying to get across, rather than the flashy colours behind how it's presented. Personally I think it would have been nice to include some of the evidence that the contract was made if able, and some sort of image showing that the time Waid made a call is very close to the time the contract was broken. This may however depend on how informed of an audience on this particular case you're hoping to appeal to, or present your case to. I only bring this up because I myself haven't actually heard about any of this before watching your video, so wasn't sure on the timings of these things.
    Either way, I'm enjoying your content from what I've seen of it so far and hope to see more in the future, best of luck.
