1st easy block of the day. #UDON 's director Matt Moylan is a racist moron. The fact @capcomusa.com @capcombrasil.bsky.social #Capcom is in business with them is worrisome.
Well I have a whole new webcomic you can read at https://catbeardthepirate.com, and also I have been uploading the old Super Deformers comic (at least most of them) with some art upgrades over at https://sdformers.com!
Have fun! Glad some folks still remember the old days. 😸
What curse was laid on Mega Man that made it so the franchise can’t have any happiness for too long at a time?
Imagine writing for a franchise that frequently has stories about fighting discrimination and trying to bring peace between races, and going “Yeah, we won’t have any woke shit here.”
Unfortunately at least one artist that might work for them (I'm unsure though), Rob porter, also known online as robaato, is a Make Video Game Women Sexy Again dipshit and draws porn of characters like roll from megaman or Amy rose from Sonic "aged up" so...
I literally have no problem changing young characters into grown adults with more nuance, nor body preferences, however these guys are backwards as hell. Fighting so hard to avoid diversity is dumb as hell
Geez… what the heck dude? I felt he was a little insufferable back when I saw his comments more often but I didn’t realize he was this bonkers. Definitely won’t be picking up Udon books for the foreseeable future.
he's their director of publishing and arguably the most visible faces of the company. he doesn't speak for everyone there, but his views have an impact in a position like his
I mentioned a point in the Street Fighter comics where Cody was being kinda transphobic towards Poison. It ended up being more implied than outright stated than I remembered but it’s still there and really uncomfortable.
at least he's finally gone completely mask off as a comicsgate shithead instead of just giving off bad vibes with plausible deniability so i can give easier examples than old bullshit he did in the transformers fandom when people ask me why i hate udon
Used to make fan comics that were just complaining about stuff that was new. Later on called a new female character a Mary Sue for just existing and other fans called him out on it. Iirc his response was that they were just looking for something to be offended about. Hasn’t been in fandom since.
David Willis also had some stuff in the earlier parts of his webcomics where it was like, "Uh, I don't think this is as progressive as you seem to think it is", but he's much better about that now.
Considering he came from Indiana and from an extreme fundy family it’s amazing where he is now. Also he started his comic back over two decades ago so viewpoints can change.
Thinking of comics that have changed overtime (for the worse) sinfest is an absolute dumpster fire from where it was
of course, of course. didn't mean to insinuate that, just that it is a real shame to see this kind of brazenness that you unfortunately have to be associated with.
Oh, I didn’t think you were! I just felt like I had to do my due diligence and say that loud and clear just so there’d be no room for doubt. But yeah… to say I am not thrilled would be a massive understatement :/
from what i know he had a comic strip he'd use as a soapbox to bitch about things he didn't like and was a very infamous and annoying figure in the fandom
that IS the lilformers strip lol, if you go back a lot of it is just a cranky old nerd complaining about change or the addition of female characters or whatever
Also, during that time he did a Street Fighter x Tekken strip where the entire "joke" was that he personally knew nothing about Tekken (which, to his credit, was one of the only times where he admitted he screwed up).
Okay I was wondering why he asked about idw sonic. Dudes just a weird comics gate grifter in a position of power. Sucks too because there’s a lot of folks at udon that I like.
Oh man the Ilformers guys be a reactionary twerp? Who'd have thought the guy who's entire comic was "Everything after G1 is bad an dumb" would be a right leaning shitlord?
no he complained about windblade when she was introduced in idw transformers and called her a mary sue and then did a 180 when they released the model kit that gave her an ass
Guys obsessed with media franchises but specifically only the 80s version always are a red flag. You genuinely think original toyline-pushing TMNT is better than the ones that actually tried?
Well, the reason Costco is doing so well fighting the regime is because they didn't have any DEI *policies* in place, but they still focused on hiring a diverse staff...
But I'm guessing that's not what this chucklehead means 😩
I remember seeing him whine about them firing Gina Carano from the Star wars shit for being a trash person and how hed never engage with Star wars again after that. He's a huge loser.
Well this explains the weird vibes i would get from him. Really upsets me too as getting in the SF Swimsuit Issue was one of my goals as a pinup artist. maybe I'll have to organize my own community driven issue just to piss him off.
Whoa I didn't know Matt Moylan was in charge at UDON. This makes total and complete sense. He's never been a kind or considerate person, especially to people with differing opinions or ideas. A Geewunner at it's purest, most refined level of douchebaggery.
Conceptually this would be the worst street fighter game despite Abel being one of my favorites for lore and personality (he's a socially awkward goofball who loves animals and cute things and is scared of oysters), as much as I love pixie grapplers a match between two Abel's would be boring
I'd be afraid using a DC Younger Readers label for Sonic would result in the comic being extermely watered down compared to what IDW lets it get away with right now
And most of them didn’t hide the fact it was because they wanted Sally and Bunnie to be “sexy” again. Also Moylan’s bullshit claims that he’d definitely talk with Ken Penders about getting his characters for a theoretical Udon Sonic.
I always found that whole Sexy Sally thing a bit creepy, because according to the comics, and many versions of character data files, she has been listed at 16 years of age
I mean in total fairness there was the time jump where Sonic missed a year and he has a birthday not long after he gets back (30 issues later) so technically if he missed one while in space and he and Sally are the same age she and he would be technically 18 for Flynn’s run.
Also I just checked Twitter and apparently a couple days ago he was running a poll asking people what they’d want to see from a new Sonic comic. So yeah cool he’s out there just fanning flames.
Sally and bunnie "sexy" again?!!!! I don't remember bunnies age but Sally is like...15!! To be fair they still hire a man who draws "aged up" pinups of roll megaman where she has a giant ass and breasts but her face looks like her canon 9-12 year old self so tbh that's expected lmao (bitter)
Robaato to be exact, I don't know if they still hire him but I hate him. Dude draws porn of r Mika too which I sadly expect because she's fairly busty but come on in between her childlike face her relationship with ibuki being like same age peers and the fact in sf alpha she was 14 iirc...
the udon street fighter comics are honest to god ones to talk as they confirmed poison as trans as early as the issue where cody fights poison for some usfiv thing (where poison is STILL in mad gear for some stupid reason when she quit mad gear around the time after the first street fighter)
which is tbh, how i know their confirming of poison as trans is less about trans representation and representing binary trans women without bottom surgery by choice as ACTUAL WOMEN (which they ARE no matter what parts they choose to get or not), and more about "haha isn't it funny she has a penis?"
even the good things they do, such as acknowledge that dan is severely traumatized and has pretty much implied ocd surrounding having to constantly be positive so he won't be "evil", and having sakura NOT be thirsty over ryu, is undercut by the fact dan is a creep towards MAKOTO--
---and sakura is REGULARLY objectified EVEN IN THE EARLY COMICS WHERE SHE IS A FUCKING TEENAGER for features that are BLATANTLY fetishized as "look how HOT she is for being petite and athletic and basically looking like a teenager!"
not to mention their misogynistic writing of morrigan in darkstalkers comics, where instead of a goofy party girl succubus who HAPPENS to be sexy sometimes, she's an honest to god boring sexy evil manipulator because apparently sexy women can only be good when they're unaware of their sexiness!
I'm pretty sure that despite making those "Lil Formers" comics he's a massive Genwunner and said some really weird shit about the Netflix She-Ra cartoon
*Geewunner sorry. I'm a fan of so many things terminology gets mixed up sometimes. Also how can he say that when his company publishes a STREET FIGHTER comic
Oh yeah, I know this loser. That guy was rude to a Steven Universe Character Designed by saying that their goof troop reboot concept designs looked “horrid”
it's incredible to me that people with industry jobs will say shit like this and not realize they're torpedoing their relationships with the companies that give them their licenses. like if i was capcom why would i want to work with this guy's company ever again?
Comments
Fuck these people
So yeah, they basically bought the license and then thanks to one tweet they've shot themselves in the foot before anything's been released.
I hope capcom smacks the shit outta them for besmirching the blue bomber’s name =w=
.
Yeah, sorry he went completely off the rails some time ago.
Have fun! Glad some folks still remember the old days. 😸

What would I give to get a new Megamix manga from Ariga

Just know to direct the hate to him, not the company.

I am curious.

all i knew em for were some pretty cool street fighter comments ages ago
Never buy Udon officially again
“Nevermind. No longer worth my time”
Was my thought process of reading this post
80's nerd culture elitists are the worst
Actual "what are you doing here. you're so old, go home to your family" moment
But I'm guessing that's not what this chucklehead means 😩
