Look through the DWM crowds’ blogs, it’ll be pretty apparent, unless you’re blind, that the main motivation behind them was that JJ was more popular than they are. So what do they do to take him down a peg? Bitch about rape culture and get the Tumblr tween SJW crowd in a frenzy over bullshit. Was he going to end the APM thing? Yeah, he announced that about a year ago; but he should have been able to do it on his terms.
And so was DWM. But honestly JJ was never a good artist, he’s an average artist, and he’ll probably never improve until he stops doing that crappy off-model sketch style.
So if you think that people were jealous… jeez, they were just ignorant. Just like most moralist groups, ignorance was the key, not jealousy.
The reason he stopped however, was probably because it got boring. The whole thing stopped being funny when he changed it into a gamer-crap from what it originally was. Blegh, old molestia was awesome, new was terribad.

Some Tumblr “artists” went after APM because JJ’s a better artist, person and more popular than they are. That’s all there is to it. Things like FoE, or, you know, actual things that happen in real life, aren’t important in the slightest.
The whole thing is little crybabies on Tumblr being asshurt that some Filipino guy was better than they are.
I feel sorry for anyone that at any point believed DWM was anything other than a bunch of whiny kids mad that someone else was getting more attention than them.
