The debate definitely looks like it might get heated as Yungbluth is already labeling Van Sciver as the “Stalin of Comicsgate”

Van Sciver appears to be taking the whole thing in stride and believes the debate will be more for laughs than anything else.
You think I wanted to debate this chud? HE asked ME.
If it’s good for a laugh, it’s good for a laugh. You weirdos are wearing out your welcome with this shit though.

In fact, it appears he would rather not even debate Yungbluth, but instead debate Renfamous. And he also fires back with his own insult at Yungbluth.
Can we just skip the pedo-cartoonist and get Lauren on?
Her oblique metaphors…just mwah!

Nick Rekieta would claim that Yungbluth’s Clarissa comic deals with pedophilia.
He’s referring to the Clarissa comic which literally deals with pedophilia

Yungbluth would clarify that his comic deals with child abuse.
Actually, it has to do with child abuse.

While it appears the debate is still a go, Van Sciver hints that it might not actually happen.
Nick, remind them that this dude came to YOU asking YOU to host a debate with ME.
They’re behaving as though they’re getting screwed over in this somehow. Its okay. We don’t have to do this at all.
— ComicArtistPro Secrets (@EthanVanSciver) October 5, 2018
I would very much prefer if we did it.
And yes, Jason asked me to host a debate with you weeks ago, I asked when I felt it was appropriate, and you obliged.

Yungbluth told us what he hopes to achieve in debating Ethan Van Sciver:
“As a paid operative of George Soros, I have orders to stop ComicsGate at all cost. If they become any more successful, the rise of a cryptocurrency that Lord Soros cannot manipulate–the “comicscoin”– is almost inevitable. My only job is to deliver this warning: Davos has noticed you, Ethan. Tread lightly.”
We also asked him what topics he plans to address:
“Rumors are flying that Jeremy Hambly was attacked at GenCon in an aborted effort to collect his beard to make a hair train for the Starfire costume Renfamous planned to wear at this year’s Dragon-Con. I want to know if ComicsGate plans retribution.”
We reached out to Ethan Van Sciver for comment, but did not hear back in time for publication.
