Imagine buying a ton of merchandise, which means you're giving money to the company they (most likely) think "ruined Star Wars," only to destroy it.
At that point you might as well literally burn your money.

Well, if you’re willing to hold on to some of them, publicly destroying a lot of them could pay off in the end.
Like, buy a lot of Rose Tico action figures. Keep 20. Destroy a thousand very publicly.
They don’t make as many Rose Tico figures as they do Finn, Rey, or Phasma figures. So you just wait a few years until they stop making them altogether, and now you have some of the last remaining Rose Tico figures, which would be very valuable to collectors.

Burning his own money would actually be more productive for him because at least in that way he could make a stupid comment like "Ha! See? Disney's not getting this money!"
It's incredibly stupid either way, don't get me wrong. But by actually buying Disney merchandise...he's doing the opposite of what he really intends to do. Especially as he allegedly bought "a whole crate" of them.
As soon as the transaction is made, he's lost. Because he's an idiot.
(who the fuck would choose scissors as a means of defacing action figures in the first place??)

Exactly. Cut out the middle man.

Then he puts 2&2 together to realize that Disney got his money before he could make it back

GET WOKE, GO BROKE
"yes I'd like to buy a bulk of Rose Tico figurine, giving my money to Disney thus making them the farthest away from broke"

Burning money can be totally triggering. Remember when Joker did it in The Dark Knight?
2
It's even funnier if you watch Hbomberguy's "woke brands" video
102
I like to call this "hate-buying". It's explicitly buying the thing you don't like for the sake of proofing you hate it. Just like hate-watching but more dumb
62
Or "truth hating" but dangerously stupid

Even if we skip past the fact that these figures are really obviously metal (which I know from owning a few), and that he's contributing to the evil mouse by buying them... how would this own the SJWs?
33
Its like that Proud Boys leader who shoved a dildo up his butt on strean or vid to own the libs ... like I have no clue whats going in in their bird brains ...

“Hah! I wasted hundreds if not thousands of my own dollars to buy merch that I then pointlessly destroy! Are you TRIGGERED yet huh?????”
27
Isn’t this hella old? Or is this dude actually doing the same weird af thing again?
22
This happened in 2018, so yes
15
Remember that this guy once made comments about shooting chinese people

Just saw this.

Not meaning to be rude- think there's a few known TFM members here- they're literal middle aged men whining just because they don't like a movie for a franchise they liked as kids.
13
I actually watched it all and it was pretty much what I wrote above. They literally add the 'politics' into the movie so no wonder they hate it. Then they're whining that kids don't like Star Wars nowadays like they do... maybe because there are so many other franchises out there now? Then they have that Ruin Manbaby and his lame mocking of Johnson which undermines his points which I disagree with but are there. Beginning to see TFM in a real new light. They really do remind me of this Simpsons moment just with Star Wars.

And he wasted his own money on it which goes towards Disney 😂

Seeing this reminds me of what easy e said in straight out Compton:
“See, the truth is, they could do whatever they want with them. They bought them motherfuckers.”
Disney doesn’t care at all what you do with the toys, as long as you buy the toys.
7
Um even if they were plastic... how would you cut them with scissors!?!?!

this is sad honestly
5
Buying Disney merchandise to own the libs
5
Two brain cells, and one joke.
4
I thought it was satire at first until I saw the name... what a loser ffs
4
Mans just gave Disney money lmao
Also tf is that hashtag
4
giving disney a ton of money, making the sequels that much more of a success, to own the "sjw" boogeymen
4
if you use the term "own the sjws" unironically idk what to tell you

Bro who even gives a shit about Ethan van Sciver anymore? He's a dick, a shitbag who's nothing worth but makes outrage content for money and clicks to his fanbase. No wonder why DC fired this guy.
Also, worth noting a guy who called out TFM made a video analysing this guy's actions, he was literally sniffing TLJ's Rose Tico toy. Creepy as fuck.
All the people he scammed sure has to give a lot of shit about him. He crowdfunded his awesome non SJW comics to come but hasn't delivered much on his promises.
He may have committed real fraud with his frog coins, too.
I’m afraid to ask but what are frog coins?
In one of his Indiegogo campaigns he was selling "collectible Ribbitcoins" (because he is a product of the 90's). They were JFK silver dollars with colored images dyed onto the face and were supposed to be 99.9% silver.
The coins were not silver at all, instead being copper and nickel, and the image on the face side was not dyed onto the coin, but rather a sticker. The campaign was edited after the fact to remove the silver composition.
I have his comic, what did not deliver on?
For details you would need to look up his actual victims. Like Patriot Hut on YouTube has some really fun videos on this topic. Or simply search for Ethan Von Sciver scammer.
I don't want to directly post videos which may contain language and materials that this sub may not enjoy since his victims were mainly ardent comicsgate supporters who's videos contain inarticulate anger about modern comics industry and world as whole.
So you can’t give any examples then, ok.
Way to out yourself as a dick.
