I used to follow the Black Sands guy, but I've found that he comes across as a defensive jerk who spends too much energy rebutting anyone who criticizes him (even when the criticism is constructive) on social media when he should be ignoring them. I lost all respect for him when I found out he called a Black female critic a "bed wench", which is a slur directed at Black women with White boyfriends.
A video the woman he insulted made about the situation:
It sucks because his comics have some pretty cool art and an intriguing story about humans rebelling against alien gods (supposedly inspired by "Ancient Aliens").

What did this particular "black female critic" say to make him this upset?
The referred term has a historical meaning, dating back to the middle passage.

It certainly doesn't show professionalism, as a business man.

I have a problem with the word dark as a emphasis on color of skin. dark should not be used as an identifier of skin because it denotes that dark means evil and dark is not something said for a way of promoting the love of self for Black individuals.
I believe the term "deep skinned Blacks" or "Rich Skinned Blacks" should be used it makes for a better arguement as "light skin" seems to mean the light when it should not be known that humans being called light denotes something wholesome and good when that is not the case because humans are not noted as Good simply from there skin color.

Please watch the video I linked to earlier. The exchange between them begins at the 3:38 time mark. You can see him calling her a "bed wench" at the 5:51 mark.

If one should be really literal one could call the people in the film "brown" since they are not literally "black" (except their hair). Then there are of course expressions like "dark brown" and "light brown". Perhaps there are advantages and disadvantages with all kind of descriptions of peoples skin tones.

Dark brown denotes evil and forbodden and does not denote something good or clear like light denotes its simply an oxymoron. Deep or rich is better to Call Black Africans This talks about how the color of note is plenty.

I suppose it is up to people themselves how they will call themselves (and others). I heard people call themselves brown, mixed, black, dark skinned, chocolate colored, coffee colored, dark brown, light brown and so on.

Isn't "black" also associated with evil in the same tradition you speak of? Black is literally the darkest you get. I don't see how you can say "dark" has connotations of evil but not "black".

I see that part where it unprofessional to react in such manner. However, there is a very toxic element of certain Black females in the black community. These females are extremely harmful. It's not that every black female with a non-Black male or White male is of that nature, but a lot are. If she doesn't like to be criticized like that she should start speaking about against these type of females who call Black males body bags, Black males should die and killed more often by corrupt cops, Black males belong in jail, Black males should be aborted, Black males need one in a coffin etc.. I can go on for a while… They often spread lies about Black males, while sitting in comfort next to a White male.
Whenever the word is used, there is a deeper manning to this, something you will never understand as a White male.
I don't follow "Black Sand", so I see nothing personal about this. From what I know he's a small and powerless publisher, but I could be wrong. I see nothing wrong with her critic on his publishing.
Anyway, from a professional point of view I disagree with him, but I can see where he comes from based on the social aspect of things with certain Black females. I'd like to know what else this woman has posted on social media for him to respond that way.
She clearly displayed her disdain for the Black men when she derailed it to R Kelly and Bill Cosby, although R Kelly was a victim of sexual-abuse himself (by older black women) and the Bill Cosby allegations are based on certain allegations with a very janky process. R Kelly is nowhere near what they made him out to be. He was wrong, although these parents participated in this themselves and knew what they did with their daughters.
As I said before, as a white male you look at these social aspects completely different, you don't have the Black male experience. What these men had to do with Black Sands is beyond me, but she had to use it to demonize Black males?
I am listening to more of her content to understand where she is coming from, Black Sands Is Jealous. PT2 Expose:
Most likely "Black Sands" used it very ignorant and arrogantly and not in the proper historical context, considering he has white people working for him in his company in high positions.
On the other hand, these type of females align with the far-right and are willing to take it far. These are things that go beyond what you can understand. You perhaps try to... but the experience is not there.

The positive or negative aspect depends on the culture wherein it is used.

Putting aside the dehumanizing and frankly sexist way you refer to women as "females"...
There do exist Black women and men with internalized racism who fetishize White people as romantic partners and put down other Black people. I am aware of that. But I have seen no indication that the woman Black Sands called a "bed wench" was that type of person. As far as I can tell, it was nothing more than a cheap, racist insult on his part.

I heard the guy is a total asshole. Even when Eric July a.k.a. Young Rippa came out with his Rippaverse Comics, instead of congratulating him or at least saying nothing, Manuel Godoy chose to trash talk him! Hating much?

That's part of the fun of drawing prehistoric humans. In most circumstances, you get to make up their outfits (or lack thereof).
He's complaining about sexism and he's got tons of stuff like this, a fetish for black ass being passed off as educational. I was going to stop talking about this but the hypocrisy forces my paw
