Comedy control

In Great Britain, comedy is controlled by the BBC and the city councils. But it’s not any better in the USA, where the control is farmed out to Wikipedia admins, Hollywood agencies, and the converged social media companies for thought policing:

Controversial comedian Roy Chubby Brown will not be performing in Swansea next year, after the city’s Labour council cancelled a planned appearance because it ‘doesn’t reflect its values’.

The entertainer, 74, was due to appear in the Welsh city next April to perform at its Grand Theatre.

But Swansea Council has now scrapped the show after deciding it would not work alongside its new ‘programming aspirations’.

They’ve apologised to 52 advance ticket holders, who will be refunded.

Furious fans have slammed the council following the decision, accusing them of dictating what the public can and cannot watch.

Born Royston Vasey, Roy Chubby Brown’s acts consist of blue humour, a free speaking style and lack of concern for political correctness.

Though controversial, the comic has a legion of fans and performs at the Grand Theatre regularly. 

In a statement released on social media, Swansea Council said: “We have decided not to go ahead with a provisional booking for Roy ‘Chubby’ Brown after considering how it would work alongside our new programming aspirations and partnerships. We want all our communities and staff to feel welcome and we felt this booking was unlikely to reflect our values and commitments to them.

“After fully considering the booking, we are refunding 52 advance sale ticket-holders and we apologise to those who may have been disappointed. We recently decided that a fresh approach is essential if we are to cater for future audience needs. Our aim is to refresh the Grand Theatre programming and offer something new and fresh for all our communities; this will meet Swansea Council’s commitment to culture, regeneration and equal opportunity.”

It’s not an accident that the social justice program of Tolerance, Equality, Progress, Inclusivity, and Diversity can be described as TEPID.


I don’t need the attention, Mike

Reality is hard when you’re an SJW. From the comments:

Don’t try to pin him on me. This kind of lede is practically an announcement that — just like Camestros — you pull the name of my blog into your disputes to generate attention. For shame.
– Mike Glyer, File 770

While Mike certainly isn’t to blame for Camestros’s foot-shooting antics, Camestros is part of the File 770 community and that serves as a useful identifier for those who have no idea who he is or why he’s nipping at my ankles. I would think it is readily apparent that I have absolutely zero need to generate attention these days; to the contrary, I methodically refuse every single request for interviews, stories, appearances and “perspective” from the mainstream media, the Internet media, and the YouTubers alike.

Wait, I did answer a few questions from someone connected to the Unz Review the other day, but then, I make exceptions for people with whom I am working….

I don’t blame the SF-SJWs for failing to grasp how much bigger Unauthorized is than their entire community at this point, since it’s outside their area of interest, but sooner or later, they’re going to be confronted with what is almost certainly going to strike them as a very ugly reality. This blog alone is much closer to Tor.com’s traffic than to File 770’s, and that doesn’t include the YouTube viewers or UATV viewers.


YouTube deplatforms Red Ice

This news is hardly surprising:

Yes, today they did it. YouTube deleted our channel without notice. Special thanks goes out to all our members for your incredible support. You ensure that we can continue. No matter how much they limit and stifle our ability to speak, share our perspectives, talk about news, events, history and the future, with your help can we continue to produce content.

It’s great that nationalists are accepting their deplatforming with calm equanimity rather than the shock, horror, and tears of the average conservative, but their responses would be considerably more effective and consequential if the deplatformed would take legal action and make the rubble bounce. As long as no one resists, the deplatformings will continue.

Not being an expert on Swedish law, I can’t analyze their probabilities of success, but as a general rule, European courts are extremely disfavorable to Google and Google-owned companies.


The Great Replacement: comics edition

The conservative media is finally beginning to notice that something is wrong in the state of comics:

Iron Man is dead. Captain America is all but dead, having traveled back in time to live his life out in the America he remembered. Those unhappy events occurred in Avengers Endgame, the film in which Woke Hollywood killed off and retired the two white men—top heroes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). And more wokeness is coming, as the producers and directors of these obscenely profitable blockbusters fashion a new non-white, non-male, non-heterosexual MCU. The normal white man will be exiled. Who better than a black bisexual woman or “married” homosexual man, after all, to save the universe!

For Marvel fans to understand what’s coming, they must also understand that Disney will soon have complete control of the MCU, sans Spiderman. Disney and Sony have ended their sui generis partnership to make five films about the webslinger, with Sony retaining total control and Spidey swinging out of the MCU, apparently for good.

That will leave the movie franchise safely in the hands of people of color and those who partake of the Love That Dare Not Speak Its Name. The heterosexual white man no longer saves the world. He’s an anachronism, a throwback to white-bread world of George Reeves and Noel Neill. The MCU cannot be left out of the The Great Replacement. Whites men will still show up, of course. But the new emphasis will be women, homosexuals, and, of course, people of color.

Of course, in keeping with conservative tradition, there is no mention whatsoever of legitimate alternative comics, such as Arkhaven and Dark Legion Comics, just complaints about the state of the mainstream. In the event you’re interested in actually doing something about this, you might want to consider supporting Jon Del Arroz’s new Flying Sparks 3 campaign or picking up a copy of Alt-Hero Volume 1.

Speaking of AHv1, the omnibuses have gone out to backers in the USA. They will be going out next week to backers in Europe and elsewhere.

UPDATE: In fairness, Mr. Kersey has written about the alternatives to Marvel before.


That’s not funny!

Jimmy O. Yang@FunnyAsianDude
As a comedian I usually side with the comedians on sensitive subjects. But this is just plain racist. Its truly disgusting. Standing up against this is just as important as supporting our Asian brothers and sisters. This man has to go.

I could not agree more. Nothing is more important than supporting our Asian brothers and sisters! We should all stand with the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere.


“You should just sue them”

This outcome in the Mignogna lawsuit is precisely why I unmercifully ridicule those morons who jabber about how people should “just sue” everyone who criticizes or crosses them in any way.

Following Friday’s hearing in Tarrant County District Court, Judge John P. Chupp ruled to dismiss the majority of the charges against Funimation, Jamie Marchi, Monica Rial, and Ron Toye in the ongoing defamation lawsuit brought by Dragon Ball Super: Broly voice actor Vic Mignogna.

Friday’s hearing was to rule on the defendants’ respective Motions to Dismiss under the Texas Citizens Participation Act (TCPA). Judge Chupp dismissed the case against Marchi along with the charges of tortious interference of existing contracts and tortious interference of business relations allegations against Rial and Toye and the charges of tortious interference and civil conspiracy against Funimation. Judge Chupp has 30 days to rule on the charges of defamation against Funimation, Rial, and Toye, as well as a charge of conspiracy against Rial and Toye….

As per the TCPA, Chupp’s ruling will require Mignogna to cover the entirety of Marchi’s legal fees, a portion of Funimation, Rial, and Toye’s fees, and pay a fine in amount to be determined by the court.

Lawsuits are very expensive, in both temporal and monetary terms, even when you win. And there is always the risk of being required to cover the other side’s legal fees if you lose. This is why it makes no sense to casually threaten lawsuits; in fact, anyone who does so can be safely ignored as a clueless idiot.

And most lawyers, even the very expensive ones, are literally worse than useless. It would shock you to know how ignorant of their very areas of expertise most of them are, and how carelessly they regard unimportant little things like “deadlines” and “documentation”.


Black Batman

I cannot even describe how delighted I am to hear the latest rumors about DC’s insistence on ritual self-disembowelment:

The hot gossip coming out of comic book shows this weekend from a number of prominent sources, is that in the summer of 2020 leading into 2021, DC Comics is planning to bring us a black Batman. Not Bruce Wayne, but someone else donning the cowl and cape.

Who this new Batman will be, I don’t know. All I have been told is that it won’t be Duke Thomas, the young man previously teased as taking on the role of Robin and Batman to come.

Marvel Comics has given us a black/Latino Spider-Man with Miles Morales, popularised in the Into The Spider-Verse movie. Sam Wilson took on the role of Captain America, reflected in the Avengers: Endgame movie. And Nick Fury has been replaced in the Marvel Universe by his black son, Nick Fury, Jr, reflecting the casting of Samuel L Jackson in the Marvel movies. While in Doomsday Clock, DC Comics’ unauthorised sequel to Watchmen, the new Rorschach is a black man, and son of the original Rorschach’s psychiatrist. It looks like the mainstream DC Comics Universe may be heading in a similar direction with Batman. Could this also find itself reflected in the DC movies?

If there was much doubt about AT&T deciding to shut down the production of new comics at DC, the market’s reaction to this should settle that in a… flash? I wonder if we can persuade them to make the black Batman gay too? Isn’t it about time? After all, it’s CURRENT YEAR!

Meanwhile, Shade of the Global Justice Initiative remains white.


I love the smell of tortious interference

VFM, get me a full workup on this guy. Depending on how this plays out, this may give us the opportunity to bring the Legal Legion into play. I doubt we’ll have to bankrupt many SJWs before they learn to stop trying to swarm public figures.

Tortious interference, also known as intentional interference with contractual relations, in the common law of torts, occurs when one person intentionally damages someone else’s contractual or business relationships with a third party causing economic harm.

UPDATE: As it happens, nothing will come of this particular effort. Apparently either this guy or someone else already tried impersonating a CNN reporter…. Also, the Indiana show is very nearly sold out already.

UPDATE: The Indiana show is now sold out. One down, three to go!


AH vol. 1 on BIC

Vox Day announced Alt-Hero Volume 1 is now available in both hardcover and paperback.

This first volume is written by Vox Day with art by Cliff Cosmic and Richard Bonk. It collects the first six issues of Alt-Hero. Not only does it collect the first six issues of Alt-Hero, but it will also contain bonus material in the form of character illustrations, a number of which have not been seen before. The first volume is 168 pages in total.

Vox gave us a sneak peek at one of those never before seen character illustrations. Take a look.

To the right are character illustrations for Candle and Cloud, two of the UN superheroes from The War in Paris. You can also see what the cover image for the backers-edition hardcover looks like at Bounding Into Comics.

BIC also helpfully alerts us to the way in which Marvel and the Devil Mouse are continuing to methodically destroy every last vestige of Stan Lee’s legacy.

British comedian and recently announced Ms. Marvel showrunner Bisha K. Ali appears to have mysteriously deleted 5,000 tweets and locked her numerous social media accounts prior to Disney’s official announcement.

Ali’s social media purge was discovered following the D23 Expo announcement of her involvement in the Ms. Marvel television series, as fans flocked to social media to learn more about the relatively unknown comedian whose IMDB page lists a total of 9 credits. However, upon attempting to access her various social media accounts, fans discovered that her pages had been hidden from the public: her Twitter , Instagram, and Facebook accounts, along with her personal webpage, were set to private.

While Ali has not publicly given a reason for this attempt to hide her internet presence from the public, fans noted that Ali had deleted a total of 5,268 tweets less than a month prior to Disney’s announcement.

It is currently unknown what the contents of her deleted tweets were or what prompted the mass deletion of tweets, but Google search results and a handful of archived posts have led to speculation that Ali deleted the tweets due to her social justice-based progressive beliefs and views.

A TV show based on a Muslim superhero comic that no one reads created by a British SJW that no one knows. Sounds good to me! Snicker-snack…. 


The convergence spreads

No matter what your hobby, the Narrative will infiltrate, infect, and invade it:

The longtime internet knitting community Ravelry updated its content policy this week to ban support of President Donald Trump from the platform. The new policy holds that support for Trump is support for white supremacy, which is not conducive to positive community-building.

Ravelry’s announcement of the policy change, made on Twitter on June 23, was short and to the point, noting, “We cannot provide a space that is inclusive of all and also allow support for open white supremacy.”

We are banning support of Donald Trump and his administration on Ravelry. We cannot provide a space that is inclusive of all and also allow support for open white supremacy. 

In the full updated policy, Ravelry clarified that its ban on Trumpism “includes support in the form of forum posts, projects, patterns, profiles, and all other content.” The policy also states that the ban does not apply to other forms of conservative content, nor is it intended to target conservative Ravelry users themselves, specifying that “hate groups and intolerance are different from other types of political positions.”

The policy also notes that Ravelry is following the lead of the longtime gaming forum RPG.net, which banned Trump support in October 2018.

Tolerance, Equality, Progress, Inclusivity, and Diversity. Those are the infection vectors of the Narrative. If you support any of those things in any capacity, if you so much as permit any of those things, your organization will be converged.
