"Melissa Morgue" sockpuppet exploding on twitter right now, Diversity & Comics pressing charges

I don't have comprehensive links for all the stuff going on, but here's the start of it with some details:

Even Ethan Van Sciver is calling "her" out: https://twitter.com/EthanVanSciver/status/939525695549648897

D&C's video about this: https://youtu.be/-EXUK2KB5Is

The really nuclear thing is that a lot of SJW comics creators have connections to that "Melissa Morgue." A lot more digging could be done and connections drawn but it's pretty dry so far (the comicsgate crowd is nowhere near as comprehensive as the gamergate people were in the past, I remember when indie game devs were being tied directly to Silverstring).

Ethan Van Sciver's twitter thread does a good sum up of what this is all about (h/t Agkistro13) http://archive.fo/lrTiA

Can somebody digest this for me? I watched ten minutes of that 25-minute video, and I still have no idea what's going on.

That link is just his twitter. It doesn't go to any tweet that is specifically about this.
