For those of you wondering about the court case involving Mark Waid, things are not looking good for him. The evidence is mounting against him and because of it he’s trying to move the court out of Texas and closer to his own home.
For those of you wondering about the court case involving Mark Waid, things are not looking good for him...
Waid begged Dunn to say he didn't bully him into cancelling
You gonna show the rest or what?
You didn't just fake this or something, right? Who would fake a screencap just to shill a YouTube channel on a Laotian Crochet Webzone?
Lmao Cucksgate is still trying to stay relevant?
Waid comes across as a serial killer
Mark is the Blue.
Ah, what a glorious piece of news to come back to. Waid, you dumb, dumb, fat fuck. You fucking idiot. You posted a play by play of your bullshit for the world to see and then lied on legal documents so now Byrne has just about everything he needs to slam you ahead of schedule. Good job King Baby, all you had to do was keep your mouth shut.
Here's the phone conversation
youtube.com
This doesn't look real. That Implies he posted this out of his own volition. Which makes no sense
Waid is dumb like that
This did happen. The screenshots exist.
It sure does.
Waid is a seriously disturbed person.
Guy needs some help.
No this looks like someone is fake this bullshit for more views. Because it's still going through the courts.
The arctic press guy provided these to the court after he felt guilty over what he had done.
Wrong. It’s all public knowledge as the trial is open to public.
Why is there a ben up top? Waid doesn't personally know him. This can't be posted by ben's side because it'd give a number. Does meyers know that he could get in trouble for this bullshit if he tries to use this in court.
See
What I don't get is why did Waid even care?
Like, the man has an actual career. Why would he need to give a single shit about some yokel on Youtube and his Kickstarter? He had nothing to lose in this situation and nothing to gain if the publication went through.
This was in response to Waid's motion to dismiss. Messages start on page 19:
courtlistener.com
He only did it because people he works with were harasses by meyers and he's an autist with a hero complex.
Holy shit the texts are real. Mark is so fucked here and frankly he looks like a fucking lunatic ex-gf in those texts.
But it's all so pointless.
This entire thing helps no one, except for Myers, who got a ton of free promotion out of the deal when otherwise his comic would have probably just languished in obscurity or found a niche audience.
Hmmm. He looks autist as fuck but in a crazy way it does imply that he didn't intend to harass or bully. Whethee that's out of the kindness of his heart or because of the lawyers is another thing.
>What I don't get is why did Waid even care?
>Like, the man has an actual career. Why would he need to give a single shit about some yokel on Youtube and his Kickstarter? He had nothing to lose in this situation and nothing to gain if the publication went through.
Waid has been notorious in the comics pro community for decades and pretty much anyone who has ever had to work with him has horror stories. He's scream, cry, break down, smash phones, call people names, etc. Apparently, after an editor at Crossgen he did't like's wife died and when Crossgen went out of business, Waid send the editor a black wreath and a message that said "What would your wife think of you, now?"
Waid's got Aspergers, most agree, but the decades he's spent with every comics media outlet praising him as a "genius" and a "comics god" has only made it spiral out of control. He thinks he's untouchable and can fuck with anyone he wants with no consequences. This time he finally broke the law, though.
What the fuck Waid looks fucking crazy.
It didn't help meyers. He had to selfpublish and he was so retarded it cost like 20+ dollars for shipping.
At this point Waid's lawyer must be begging him to settle.
Thing is, even if Waid settles or loses, he won't undergo any financial blows. He has his hardcore fanbase and he has the ears of all the mainstream comic book news sites like Bleeding Cool and CBR. Once it gets out that 'the big mean conservative Richard Meyer" wont the court case, there'll be a Go Fund Me to pay for ALL of Waid's legal expenses and then some. He'll probably come out richer when all this is done with.
Remember when Peter David didn't feel like paying his taxes so he set up a Go Fund Me, asking his fans to pay his taxes for him? And his fans ACTUALLY did it? Yeah, Waid can just do that.
I think it is fake, notice how this guy give a link to the website
But why would this website have this?
He is fucking crazy. There are plenty of stories about him being a lunatic years before this mess.
You doubt official court documents? How much do you love Waid?
You sure sound credible and not at all like some reactionary shill.
Why didn't you post the last picture?
I doubt the screencap text message are offical court documents.
He sent a celebratory wreath to an editor whose wife died.
That actually sounds nice tho, you give flowers to those in mourning.
>when the Waid cocksuckers are blown the fuck out
Taste Justice boot lickers.
Remember the phone story? Something was always wrong with Waid but the comics community is more cliquish than a high school girl lunch table so they work to defend their little sped.
There's already a gofundme for Waid's legal defense. Even if theyr willing to givee another 80k it probably won't be enough to pay both his lawyer and Meyer. Unless someone else is already paying his lawyer
Lefties have been falling for the rights social judo for years now.
can someone give me a quick rundown?
Well, maybe Waid shouldn't have been a fucking psychotic retard.
The problem is I don’t think Myers is going to accept. He wants blood and scalps.
So this guy, Rich Meyers, has been harassing comic book writers and artists for being "SJWs" and that's his entire schtick. His behavior managed to get a small comic book publisher to drop him and instead of accepting that it was hos own fault he has instead concocted a conspiracy where Mark Waid threatened the publisher to drop him.
God this rich meyers guy sounds like a real loser
Jawbreakers sucks.
>critique is now "harassment"
Oh Waid, just stop.
these are as made up as the average storypost on reddit but I believe them
I mean transphobia isn't really criticism.
>casualgate’s YA BOI ZACK wants to publish a comic since casualgate has no comics
>Waid hears that Myers is a KKK Nazi who sends his cronies to comic stores to tell the employees to GO HOME GAMER GIRL and preps his white stallion to ride to my lady’s defense
>He gives Antarctic Press the goon hand in a phone call and tells them it sure would be a shame if they developed a rep for publishing Jawbreakers aka literally the Bell Curve annotated by Stephan Molyneux.
>the problem is that this is tort and the adult world isn’t like high school where you can say bullshit without consequence
>now court documents have shown Waid is scared and basically begging Myers for mercy that will not come
Waid might do something retarded soon given his history, stay tuned!
>The problem is I don’t think Myers is going to accept. He wants blood and scalps.
Meyer has 3 ex-wives and 1 kid with each of them, whom he owes alimony and child support to. Apparently, his exes are already demanding a cut of his Indiegogo profits and they're likely going to demand he take whatever settlement is offered to him immediately so they can get their cut of that, too.
>For those of you wondering about the court case involving Mark Waid, things are not looking good for him.
We knew that from the start.
He was basically just screaming "I AM GUILTY, LOOK AT ME" from the very start.
>harassment
This is why you fail and why Waid is about to get raped.
>That Implies he posted this out of his own volition.
see
It would hardly be the dumbest thing Waid has ever done.
Disgust at people that multilate themselves is not a phobia.
Waid probably assumed that the case would be heard in California, where an openly conservative person can absolutely positively NEVER win a case no matter what. Waid hadn't considered that the case might be held in Texas where the exact OPPOSITE is the situation and he would be fucked.
Criticism like
>why is a women driving?
>superman shouldn't help homeless veterans
>why doesn't Terra have bigger boobs
>and this comic fell apart when I tried to read it underwater, 0/10
wow this whole thing seems juvenile and frivolous
Just imagine being the kind of person to demolish your career in a failed attempt to censor a completely harmless, run-of-the-mill capeshit book from an indie creator.
But it's also not legitimate criticism. Going after a writer just because they are trans is just being a asshole.
True. But he’s still going to win.
Also true. The man is a retard who knows less about comics than my mother. But he’s still going to win because Waid is and even bigger retard.
I think he cares more about owning the libs than his children.
