ComicsGate is a GamerGate style consumer revolt within the Comic Book Industry, that was sparked by industry insiders brushing aside their own consumer base. They engaged in SJW tactics like block chains, the push of propaganda, people being fired for political views, tampering with comic book classics, etc. Dismissing their own consumers, & their concerns (valid or otherwise) with bland accusations of discrimination. When you push your own consumers this way they grow increasingly frustrated & understandably bitter for this mistreatment. So they banded together & talked about this occasionally. Which eventually lead to the start of ComicsGate.
Fans: " i just don't understand why the classic characters we love so much were replaced, why are they all gender-bent all of a sudden?"
Industry insider: "Stop criticizing that! That's racist!"
Fans: "...Wait what? How?"
Industry insider: Help! Were being attacked!
Fans: "What? What did we do??"
Industry insider: block*
(rinse & repeat, until...)
Fans: Ok! that's it! We've had enough! #comicsgate!
A phrase used by many people as means of justification for an older person doing or saying something typically racist, sexist, or simply insensitive. This is said because these senile people come from a time when Jews were thought of as lesser, being gay was automatic hell in your life, and don't even get me started on being black.
Gramps: Those damn Jews and their smartass Asians are stealing all of America's money! I bet they're gay too!
Donny: Sir, I find that highly offensive and racist. Bro, can you please control your blatantly racist father?
Butch: I'm very sorry bro. But you know, he comes from a different time.
Donny: I guess it's ok then...
