Tamra Bonvillain loathes the Comicsgate campaign
C0mics Gate is trash, and you're trash if you support it in any way.— Tamra Bonvillain (@TBonvillain) July 12, 2018
Bonvillain's also done some work for DC, according to Bounding Into Comics, on books like the latest Doom Patrol volume, and if so, then she (he?) is the latest DC contributor to violate their unenforced guidelines and prove they were only virtue-signaling. After they spoke about this, Bonvillain said:
Hey, all.— Tamra Bonvillain (@TBonvillain) July 14, 2018
Just so you know, Bounding Into Comics is associated with Comics Gate, so be aware. pic.twitter.com/WSljYX5vnX
I knew about them, but just didn't think about their Twitter until they tagged me in some nonsense along with a bunch of comics gaters. I didn't know companies were sending them stuff.— Tamra Bonvillain (@TBonvillain) July 14, 2018
I already sent an email to people from one of the companies that I'm currently working with that's following the account.— Tamra Bonvillain (@TBonvillain) July 14, 2018
So Bonvillain also wants them blacklisted by the industry? What a disgrace. All concerned can respond to that by voting with their wallets, of course.
And that's not the only creator out there engaging in shoddy behavior this past week. Another is Shadowline publisher Marc Lombardi, who's produced his line through Image, who had the following to say:
Good morning!— Marc Lombardi (@marclombardi) July 13, 2018
It's always a glorious day when you wake up & realize you didn't have to sell yourself out to a bunch of hateful comicsgate assholes just to pick up 1500 social media followers and fund your eventual indiegogo/kickstarter campaign that you "are still considering."
What's really stunning, depending on who the big-mouths in focus are, is how many are willing to risk alienating people who may be buying their products already, and thus reduce sales for their stuff. So, why can't they just retire already and/or move some other industry like agriculture, car manufacturing or computer programming for a change? The entertainment medium is clearly not for them.

Bonvillain was on some of the earliest comicshate boycott lists, and not because of her politics - she is a colorist, hard to make politics out of that. You can't blame her for not wanting publishers to send free copies of her comics to press people who are urging a boycott of her.

Bonvillain is a bully and a busybody that accuses people without provocation of wrongthink if they "follow the wrong people" on social media.

Good point! I presume Brainator is the name that appears on your birth certificate? Your parents must have been real cool sci-fi fans!
