“In offering further thoughts on the recent ’emergency stop’ placed on her overall DC career, Red Hood Vol. 2 writer Gretchen Felker-Martin has criticized how the publisher was exceptionally fast to not just cancel, but fully recall the only published issue of her Red Hood Vol. 2, but did not offer a similar response to a number of other ‘uncouth’ creators.”
That’s exactly what it is, actually.
Private company have a right regarding public statement by their employee.
She might have been contracted rather than an employee, and may have already completed her contract. But either way it’s fuzzy. She could have grounds to dispute it, because:
She wasn’t acting as a representative of the company or it’s views.
She was using her independent social media account.
Her sometimes incendiary, political social media presence was a known entity and apparently discussed, and might even be considered part of her brand, unless her contract outlined what she could and couldn’t say for x amount of time after completing her contract.
The book was already printed and shipped, their recall could be considered retaliation for her political views, since they don’t apply the same rules across the board, and the recall would hurt her worse than them.
Mostly agree with your point except it was still a public account. About 4 I haven’t seen any instance that would proove they dont apply the rule accords the board. Also she s a contractor and as so she signed a contract with clause and thoses clause allow them to finish the contract.
