Van Sciver wrote several days ago, following allegations Cerebus creator Sim had groomed an underaged girl for sex before having relations with her at age 21, that:
I think it's a sage decision, since Sim has been a very fishy character for decades already. What's been brought up now might be hearsay at this point, but even so, Sim's visions are still pretty tasteless. There's also a video discussing the case here, which shows a screenshot of a comment Sim made on a blog dedicated to his past work on Cerebus:
All that said, I did notice a handful of anti-Comicsgate tweeters talking about this who didn't sound like they were being altruistic when they brought it up, and likely wouldn't have if Sim hadn't been offered a job by a conservative.
Also, look who promoted Sim's Cerebus a short time ago:
So despite the morally questionable acts of Sim, the BC website is still promoting his wares? Well, can't say I'm surprised. Nor is it shocking if the really atrocious offenders continue to be ignored by the SJW/NPC crowd in the forseeable future.
Upon further review and investigation, I'm just going to write CYBERFROG REKT PLANET my damn self.— ComicArtistPro Secrets (@EthanVanSciver) January 3, 2019
No collaboration with Dave Sim.
Sorry for whoever that disappoints, but I think it is for the best.
And no further comment on this is forthcoming. Thank you.
I think Anti-Comicsgate is upset at how they played the Dave Sim thing. 🤷♂️— ComicArtistPro Secrets (@EthanVanSciver) January 3, 2019
Again, thank you, SJWs.
Let me ask you a question:— ComicArtistPro Secrets (@EthanVanSciver) January 3, 2019
Why would any full grown adult need to say "it's wrong for me to date a 14 year old" aloud? Why is that even a thought, idea or question?
And she was 13. https://t.co/lkEIUGZ1SB

I'm not sure, but what I DO know is that @bleedingcool is suddenly advertising CEREBUS for Dave Sim, so that's not at all weird. https://t.co/q7XlVALPBe https://t.co/cE0C9aYDZ3— ComicArtistPro Secrets (@EthanVanSciver) January 3, 2019
These SJWs play games with sex offenders that they're AWARE OF in comics. They either protect them or use them as political weapons.— ComicArtistPro Secrets (@EthanVanSciver) January 3, 2019
Normal people are sick of it.
Going on and on about "ComicsGate is a HateGroup" while actively collaborating with accused rapists. Outrageous. https://t.co/PACipCAYmC

Van Sciver has leapfrogged out of comixgate: https://www.geeksandgamers.com/ethan-van-sciver-departs-comicsgate/
It's amazing how morality disappears when large amounts of money are offered huh?
the bleeding cool website on Dave Sim:
"the creator took what some may call greater and greater divergences from mainstream perspectives and what others would call going batshit crazy."
They are not exactly whitewashing him.
