I have no skin in this game. I just sit back and observe this shitstorm of social media and the comic book industry. Likewise, I know very little about Ed Piskor and his work. He was accused of grooming a few girls under 18, and that is wrong, if true. However, Piskor should have fought it if he believed it was all a misunderstanding. When you’re dead, anyone can rewrite your narrative to fit their narrative.
This whole situation reminds me of Alec Holowka's suicide. The same thing happened. The most frustrating thing is that Alec’s refused to attack Zoe Quinn for the loss of her brother. And, the gaming press muted Alec’s suicide and Quinn’s involvement in it, allegedly. The prototype for this was the death of August Ames back in 2017.
Let legal clear your name or bring out the docs. Don’t end your life over this. If someone wrongly accuses you, you have to fight it. If what the women say is true, then he is in the wrong. What is happening now is that Comicgate and anti-comicgate are muddying up the waters when we need to discuss suicide and mental breakdown. We should rely on social media as much and stop treating it like high school 2.0. People have to stop letting Twitter rule and ruin their lives. Put the phone down and touch the grass. So, says the blogger who has written on this blog for nearly 20 years...
I should do more research, but I am too damn lazy for that. Anyway, his YT channel is still up. Before his death, this guy got a lot of press.
