A loaded question
I sat down thinking this is easy to explain.. Truth be told it is easy to understand
Comicsgate is the name of a consumer revolt over customer service issues in the comics industry
Yes it is that simple
We are not arguing over personalities and responses to personalities.. There is a different slang word for that.. That is called DRAMA.
Example
This is very simple
You go to a restaurant and place an order
-Cold food
-undercooked
-poor service
-claim it is high class food and it is imitation replacement food
You say something to manager or staff member
You get
-yelled at
-you are NOT the customer
-called names -Nazi, misogynist, racist, -phobe
-told the food was not made for you
-why dont you make your own food
-They call the cops on you at home (SWATTING)
And lets say it is a chain resturant
You call corporate
Nothing is done-
You leave a review online
And get this, the company spokesman act like the staff
Say they send a food critic pictures of there body parts

So, How long will that restaurant be open?
Would you be spending money there?
with me so far?
Every work in customer service or RUN a business based in this
Some special people will be met in this field
One or two is expected
How many till it matters or is a HUGE issue?
Well lets say someone that was told To go make food yourself, did that
And started selling it
And making more money then the restaurants
If you ran a business this would have your attention..
Wait but what about Drama.. but Drama.. And did you Drama
To answer your question over recent developments
Competitors competing
My personal theory is that there are three camps in the consumer revolt
The outspoken part
Those that are middle ground – speak sometimes mostly are quiet
The in it for the comics part- be it art or story- rarely speak
Comicsgate is a consumer Revolt
Because the conditions named in the restaurant has not been addressed
Food still crappy, service sucks, and chain owners not responding
The above is what is #ComicsGate
I know the above Looks like a huge mess. It is .
That is the simplest set of examples that I can provide covering all the bases
every response falls into customer service issues
To answer most of the responses ahead of time it is easy to dived the the types of customer Service Issues up
-Bad customer service
-Mishandled Human Resources issues
-Bad Management
-Bad Spin doctoring
-Bad Advertising
final thoughts
Comics is a service based industry covering multiple fields. It is a synthesis & interconnection of many disciplines. Failures or manipulations in one part lead to obvious failures in other parts..
