Is Hal Jordan and the green lantern corps artist Ethan Van Sciver a nazi?

>Comic book writer/artist Ethan Van Sciver, currently working on Hal Jordan & The Green Lantern Corps, posted a long, passionate plea to Facebook stating that, no, he is not a Nazi nor a white nationalist. Not the kind of thing many people have to post, but this is the internet. He wrote:

>“There are strange people on twitter who are pretending to believe that I am a ‘white supremacist’ or a ‘Nazi’ because I’m a rare thing in comics: a Republican. It’s intolerable. It’s ridiculous to have to even declare that I’m none of these things.

>To me, white supremacists are villains from movies. They aren’t me, they aren’t my family, and I deeply resent these calculated efforts to make me feel unwelcome in the industry that I’ve given my life to, and by the way, which has profited greatly from my work. This industry isn’t them or me. It’s us.

>Their evidence is some ridiculous out of context images from a decade ago, when we were all much more friendly. Being called a ‘Nazi’ by a fellow creator then was quite different, like me calling someone a commie. It was meant in fun. But occasionally, some truly weird people would make a claim that my little diamond logo was a swastika (oh?? HOW? It’s based on the Iron Maiden logo). and a friend would satirize it by making it look like one. For laughs. Because it’s absurd.
Around the same time, I decided that I’d make my sketch books look like extremist political tracts. One was called MANIFESTO and contained communist dogma, with backward letters to look like Russian language. The other one was called ‘MY STRUGGLE’ and contained my earliest work on Cyberfrog up to my recent work. The cover was SINESTRO, who we’d redesigned that year to resemble Hitler, and with the fact that most people knew I leaned right, this was a JOKE. Made self-effacingly to my peers who I considered my friends.
>>
These people who spread these images and claim that I’m a ‘Nazi’ are liars. They are lying. Flat out. They are liars who wish this industry wasn’t tolerant of people who do not share their partisan political views. That may include you. It may not. But I’ll lay out my career and the work that I’ve done against theirs. This is MY industry too. And lying liars with a dishonest agenda cannot change that.

I’ve chosen to avoid Twitter. It is a toxic wasteland of negativity. I’ve chosen to avoid discussing politics, for this very reason. But I won’t stand by and let these creeps continue to go unanswered.

And neither should you.

If you see this, please, as a fan, CORRECT IT.

It is evil.

Thank you.”

A few of those tweets in question.

no, stop reposting fake internet drama

No he is just a thin skinned twat. Funny how many Rightwingers are really snowflakes. Can't wait to bitch about something. Oh no a war on Christmas. Oh no some random person called me a bad word. Boohoo I need to create a big rant. Etc.

Tbh I don't care if EVS was an actual Nazi, he's great drawing GL stuff.

I will literally kill this faggot if EVS does get fired. The problem with all these witch hunting that it just snowballs to something big even if there's no definite proof.
>>
Fuck off with this forced "controversy".

>>94668280
EVS is one of the biggest names at DC. Literally nobody fucking cares about this shit except a tiny handful of Twitter idiots who don't buy comics.
>>
>>94668299
I know this is just a twitter nobody but then as I've said shit gets snowballed and with the internet being a medium to bully people to quit, EVS getting sacked while insanely slim is a possibility if they get a ton of support from mindless drones.
>>
>>94668280
The whole thing falls apart when his most popular work is stuff he did while collaborating with a mixed race man of Middle Eastern descent who is also married to an Asian woman. Like I'm pretty sure specifically being a Nazi doesn't allow for that "some of you are alright" rhetoric.

It's so stupid I'm not sure why OP bothered to post it.
>>
>>94668343
But they haven't even fired Berganza and that would seemingly be justified since there are witnesses to his harassment and the internet hates him. There's no reason to think literally made up shit would matter here.
>>
>>94668361
Pretty sure people think Johns is a white guy, EVS is great and I don't see why political belief should ever be a factor if they should be able to work in that company.

>>94668394
I'm just afraid it will get traction since the whole Charlottesville thing, they're kinda witch hunting republicans
>>
Okay. Hands up who through this was a thread a bout Green Lantern.

>>94668448
I'd rather have that

>>94668361
Actually there were some people in the SS you wouldn't have expected in the SS. I think mostly for propaganda reasons and also barrel scraping.

Also the Naxis cooperated with some people you'd really not expect to cooperate with Hazis but hey, it's OK because they were Likud I guess.

Anyway, I do agree the whole thing is bullshit but Nazis have historically been pretty colorblind when it suited them.
>>
Can someone post the pictures he's talking about?
>>
>>94668526
Fucking spellchecker, I bet Obama wrote it.

>>94668394
I hope they fire Berganza. He's shit at his job.
>>
>>94668535
I think he's talking about the SCW cover, Sinestro looked super menacing there.

Ther guy that invented Space Hitler Sinestro and than tried to hype him up to be more popular than Hal....just might be a nazi??

How in the fuck are you just realizing this now?

>>94669594
0, he literally hasn't done anything. It's just people slinging mud without doing any facts because they don't even care about comics just something to push their agenda and to act smug saying "THATS ONE MORE NAZI DOWN".
>>
>>94669576
No he definitely didn't. Space Hitler Sinestro as drawn by EVS maybe, but Sinestro was categorically MUCH worse with what he was doing in the Silver/Bronze Age and would be more appropriately labeled Hitler.

So he's right leaning, what's the big deal?

29 states can fire you being gay. Prior to 1990 you could be fired for being disabled. If you think USA is a progressive country then you're retarded. Progress is snails pace and never works rushed. Progress alone isn't morally right or wrong just beneficial.

Evs is allowed to be the way he is unless he uses violence. DC doesn't have to fire him if they don't want to. They still have Scott lodbell and old-school leftist pedos in back and Miller the sexist.

Tolerating the tolerant and intolerant is classical liberalism. Morals are relative, so no body's really right. Laws also exist to create civility and order. Certainly more so in the modern world. Unless you're raping and killing, no harm is really being done but your feels being assblasted. If you try to police free speech, you're the clear oppressor.

Anyone who decides to enforce their own beliefs on others are the oppressors of the people. They're commies like you.

Just go work for commie Marvel if you are that sad and pathetic.

I argue Silver Age sinestro was more Hitler since he'd abuse the fuck out of the Qwardians for petty revenge while at least during John's run he's doing it for the improvement of the Corps.

Doesn't make sense if you look at the Chromatic Scale.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromatic_scale

I'd say each "color" is a represented by a Sharp Note on the Scale.

So Red would be C#, Orange D# and so on.

Well A Sharp Bells are used in mechanical alarm clocks.

So instead of the Reds classic Rage Vomit, an A Sharp would issue forth a stream of noise that powderised whatever it hit.
