Ron Marz, the Editor-In-Chief of Ominous Press, took his attacks against Diversity & Comics and ComicsGate supporters to the next level when he compared them to a man hitting a woman in the face and allegedly throwing an ash tray at her face.

Footage of a man hitting a woman in the face in central Paris, after she told him to “shut up” for harassing her in the street, has shocked France and prompted an investigationhttps://t.co/8tCZDc0vRY pic.twitter.com/BsBDLyHHoE — The Telegraph (@Telegraph) July 30, 2018

Marz clearly targeted ComicsGate supporters saying, “Surely he only wanted better comics without all that forced diversity. Surely.” It’s a direct comparison to the man in the video who hits the woman.

Diversity & Comics was quick to respond on Twitter with a succession of Tweets.

Seriously…WTF is wrong with SJW Comic Book Pros like Ron Marz? Who sees a video of a woman bring physically assaulted and says to themselves “This will be a great way to smite my Twitter enemies.” pic.twitter.com/sg6XRYcBJc — Diversity & Comics (@DiversityAndCmx) July 31, 2018

There are truly some deranged and sick people in the comic book industry. I’m continuously shocked by this Ugliness of Spirit. — Diversity & Comics (@DiversityAndCmx) July 31, 2018

This Ron Marz thing is literally making me sick to my stomach. Horrid. — Diversity & Comics (@DiversityAndCmx) July 31, 2018

He would go on to make a video about it as well:

Others showed their complete distaste towards Marz and his disgusting comparison and smear job.

Ron. Diverse fans from around the world have no problem with “diversity,” the problem has always been nepotism, tokenism & mediocrity. Racists see diverse people as pests and pets. That’s why WE DON’T WANT YOU TO SPEAK ON ANYONE’S BEHALF BUT YOURS. That’s extremely racist. — Spike™ – NERDGY (@SpikeTheWriter) July 31, 2018

Did you just use an assaulted woman as a prop for twitter drama?!? — SuperPoser (@SuperPoserArt) July 31, 2018

You need to step back a little, gain some perspective. This is way out-of-bounds. — Troy Riser (@TroyRiser) July 31, 2018

Agreed. This whole back and forth between sides isn’t even entertaining anymore. I mean, using a real act of violence as a sort of jab at someone is just plain disgusting. — ✭ ✯ ? ? ? ? ? ?. ? ? ? ? ? ✯ ✭ (@DylanFagan2099) July 31, 2018

Archived. What an absolute piece of human filth to make light of that women’s ordeal. And for what? A straw man argument against comicsgate. Dude. Get some perspective. — Harrison Bergeron (@HarriBergeron) July 31, 2018

Because of COURSE every violent act ever committed is linked to the people you don’t like. What’s next? Murder? Rape? Child molestation? Doubtless nothing is out of bounds to a mind as degenerate as your’s… pic.twitter.com/AKyeMDs94I — R. Kester (@Xemnas444) July 31, 2018

You’re really comparing someone with criticisms about the comic industry to someone who committed violence? You are truly a scumbag. — ✭ ✯ ? ? ? ? ? ?. ? ? ? ? ? ✯ ✭ (@DylanFagan2099) July 31, 2018

this is just sick. You’re mocking a woman being beaten just to me an unrelated joke about it to what exactly? I hope @Marvel @DCComics sees this and takes action — Nathan (@Nathan1410) July 31, 2018

Wtf does this have to do with comics. A idiot attacked a woman. — Comic-Rust (@Comic_Rust) July 31, 2018

Seriously dude.. take a break from being mentally disturbed.

You’re using this of all things to take a jab at “ALT RIGHT NAZIS”

your sad and pathetic. — ?[El Pyon The Zetta] ? (@SadethCastaneda) July 31, 2018

Top class act, using a horrendous act of violence to politicize it against people that don’t share your views. — Kaiser Leo (@AioriaBelmont) July 31, 2018

It’s messed up that you’re using the abuse towards this woman to make some point about comic books. — Ricardo Vargas (@RickThundah) July 31, 2018

Dude… you need to step away from social media. Obviously it is not healthy for you if you’re using someone’s very real moment of fear for their life to attack comics fans. This crosses a line and it isn’t even a fine line, it’s a big line and you decided to cross it. Walk away. — Josh Malecki ? (@Southpaw_Josh) July 31, 2018

This kind of stupid is going to come back and bite you in the ass later. Good luck with that. — Chic Geek?? (@theGeekSheek) July 31, 2018

Absolutely disgraceful that a full grown adult man would tweet something like this. You should be ashamed of himself. Truly pathetic behaviour. — Jon Brovi (@tokemonbro) July 31, 2018

What the hell is wrong with you? If you saw a group of people mowed down by isis would you pretend it was about comics too? Step off. — jesjimava92 (@jesjimava92) July 31, 2018

Using a woman being attacked as a weapon in a mild twitter beef you have with some people you don’t agree with. Low, cheap and really really sexist. Get some perspective. — BrownGuy100 (@BGuy100) July 31, 2018

Wait, you are using a poor women who got attacked by an asshole, and comparing it to people not liking where to comic industry is going? And THEN you wonder why you people are losing money? I think you are one of the most disgusting humans I ever seen. — Zetra Corp. ?? ?? (@Zetra_Corp) July 31, 2018

One person did decide to take Ron’s defense and doubled down on his comparison.

That is actually how the entire comics world sees you folks though. Perhaps that ought to give you pause for reflection??? — David Roy Stewart (@DavidRoyStewart) July 31, 2018

This isn’t the first time Ron has gone out of his way to disparage people he doesn’t agree with. Just last month, Marz called for incivility after Sarah Sanders was kicked out of the Red Hen restaurant for working for President of Donald Trump. He would write, “expect no civility. Expect no peace.” It appears he’s sticking to that promise as comparing ComisGate supporters to this man assaulting the woman is anything but civil. As many others have said it’s absolutely reprehensible.

Fans demanding a better product and criticizing the current product is absolutely not comparable to this man hitting a woman. It’s shameful, disgusting, and low.
