A. Wyatt Mann

Nick Bougas (1955–), using the pen name "A. Wyatt Mann"[note 1][1] is a Grade-Z documentary film director/producer, cartoonist, and flat-out white supremacist. His propaganda is usually targeted against Jews, African Americans, Hispanics, Latinos, Asians, and the LGBT community, and occasionally Native Americans, Romani people, Eastern Europeans, communists, socialists, capitalists, Arabs, left-leaning people, big business, and sometimes even the French, Italians, Greeks, and Irish. Most of his horrid comics were illustrated in the 1980s and 1990s, but he still makes comics today. Please note that these will make your eyes bleed.

Bougas' first known appearance on the public scene was in 1980 with his short film Gay, Gay Hollywood.[2] Bougas later showed up as a cartoonist for the notorious 4-issue zine Answer Me! (1991-1994) that was written by Jim and Debbie Goad.[3] Jim Goad later claimed credit for being an antecedent to the alt-right based on his book, The Redneck Manifesto.[4]

As a film director, Bougas specialized in ultra-low budget exploitation films of the 'Mondo'-typeFile:Wikipedia's W.svg (featuring gore and death scenes) as well as Hollywood exploitation films. His first Mondo film, Death Scenes (1989), was hosted by Church of Satan founder Anton LaVey (1930–1997), who was partly Jewish.[5] Bougas also featured LaVey in his 2018 video documentary, Speak of the Devil.[6] Bougas has also attended a gathering of satanists that was hosted by LaVey's daughter, Zeena Schreck.File:Wikipedia's W.svg[1] Notably, Bougas also got along with Adam ParfreyFile:Wikipedia's W.svg (1957–2018), who was half Jewish,[1] so it raises the question of what was Bougas' intent with these cartoons, was he race-baiting/trolling or is he an open antisemite who just happened to get along socially with secular Jews?[1] Bougas' fascination with gore, murder, and serial killers[7] is indicative of a misanthropic worldview, which might support the trolling hypothesis.

In 2015, BuzzFeed News became the first media outlet to report that Bougas was behind the "A. Wyatt Mann" pseudonym after they interviewed some of the individuals who worked with Bougas.[1]

Others

Other bigots besides Bougas have taken up the pseudonym of A. Wyatt Mann, most notably convicted mosque burner and pedophile Patrick Keogan.[8][9]

A bigoted fan of the artwork took on the name 'A Wyatt Man',[10] and was banned from Metapedia for vandalism or trolling in 2014.[11][12] Following their eviction from Metapedia, 'A Wyatt Man' along with Michael Coombs and Eleonóra Dubiczki founded Rightpedia, an even more pro-Nazi fork of Metapedia.[13][14]

Some examples
  • One of Mann's cartoons against the Japanese and other Asian people
  • The cartoon that created le Happy Merchant
  • Seriously Nick, stop.
  • A cartoon supporting Islamic terrorists because they bomb Jews. That's not to say Mann likes Muslims though, because…
  • You racist son of a bitch, Nick. And you couldn't even spell "cell" and "unintelligible" right in your lettering.
gollark: (When read)
gollark: If the target file doesn't exist it might still just go "no such file or directory".
gollark: Symlink weirdness and bad error messages I believe.
gollark: Does anyone unironically pay that much?
gollark: You can just ignore them as it's probably* fine**.
