More like guy has a YouTube channel where he reviews and criticizes comics (seems mostly Marvel). Starts crowd funding to publish his own graphic novel. Gets harassed throughout the process due to his criticisms of Marvel to the point where he gets directly denounced by a Marvel higher up. Publisher who had committed to publishing his graphic nove pulls out due to supposed backlash from Marvel fans and the Marvel exec.
And you’re usually the person who is always deriding others for their posts lacking nuance.

I think the full context is important to verify my characterisation. Based on your interpretation, absolutely, that would be disingenuous. But many of his criticisms aren’t just about comics, but personal attacks on the people writing them, complete with homophobic, transphobic, and sexist slurs.
I don’t know that the core of what he’s saying is that valid when a lot of his issues seem to emanate from a hate for the LGBTQ community and women.
