Comics Gate begins to implode?

[Celgress]

The "Revolution" eats its own? Interesting video about the latest Comics Gate drama. Be advised the guy uses a lot of profanity -

Edit: Video link deleted. Why give a CGer any sort of platform? - Matt

Be advised this guy is a comicsgater, and giving him views is not advised.

If you do watch the video, watch it private mode or Youtube will keep recommending you more comicsgate videos.

In before the lock!

Thing is, they were starting to turn against each other a while back. And a lot of it was yeah about Ethan and other folks associated with CG who were starting to put their own indie comics and then controversy about who is or is not the "leader" of CG. When the Carol Danvers Capt Marvel movie came out, they got a new lease on life, but now a lot of those folks don't know what to rage against so it's all about twitter drama.

True, I love how the guy in the video claims he is angry only with Ethan, and Ethan's followers, yet he also gives a backhanded slap to that Zack guy (who is suing Mark Waid for something or other); paraphrasing (for those who might not want to give the vid a hit) "child support man" (insinuating Zack doesn't always pay for his kids). The infighting and petty jealousies are strong with these guys, lol.

That's the long-term trouble for these movements. They are dependant on having enemies to point to that they can gain success against. But once they get an effective rap against the current leadership (like the Sad and Rabid Puppies got in 2015 from sf fandom) they tend to turn against themselves.

It's one of the ways in which the various *gaters are similar to real-world fascists.

What is/was the SF Fandom? I've never heard of this abbreviation before and am curious.
