The slang term "Rippatard" is used to describe fanatics/supporters of Eric July and/or his comic company The Rippaverse.
The term combines "Rippa" (the first half of the word Rippaverse) with "tard," a pejorative shorthand for "retard", suggesting the users of the word view these fans as foolish or misguided in their support.
A person perceived as an overly enthusiastic or uncritical fan of Eric July or his Rippaverse company. It is often used in a derogatory context to mock their support and/or perceived naivety.
These fanatics are likely to be unfavorable toward ComicsGate (CG) creators, supporters and RippaVerse detractors.
Ethan: This Rippatard is fantasizing about me being murdered.. all I'm doing is laughing at bad comics and dumb bidness decisions. These guys are no different than mainstream SJW's.

RenownedZ3rO (infamous Rippatard): No one is a Rippatard. Its not a real word.
Me: IT IS NOW ð
The word is a combination of the word FARE (regarding money) and SHAKE (as in the shaking of a person until money falls out of their pockets. To extort money a shake down.
It is an action of deliberately evading
or making payment or restitution.
Its done maliciously by subterfuge, trickery
& in bad faith. This action is in regards to money
& is the opposite of a fair deal.
Some examples :
*jumping the turnstile of a train
(without paying though you have the money)
**running out on cab (without paying though you have the money)
***Take crowd-funded money,
intended to make product or provide a service, and disappear without providing said product or service (without paying though you have the money)
EJ: "I don't want to treat anybody that says something odd or gets something misconstrued as a retard. If they prove otherwise, however, then it is what it is. I'll always give people a
FARE SHAKE."
