“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.”

    The US would be in a much better place if more people stuck to their guns like her.

    That’s a good point, it is some fucked up priorities for a publisher to not support free speech but to support rape. Gaiman is a vile and disgusting rapist who brutalized at least one vulnerable teenager and multiple adult women. If you would rather associate with someone like that and help make them richer there’s something fucked up with morals.

      I suppose however that Gaiman probably had more earning potential? He has some notable works, but I do agree the publisher should have taken the high road.

        I don’t think earning potential provides sufficient justification for associating with someone who rapes people. Their priorities are all fucked up.

    Fun fact, the original publications involving Terra and Deathstroke from the 1982 publication of New Teen Titans included fully illustrated graphical sex between the two while she was depicted as underage.

    Actually, none of that fact was fun. I’m sorry that you now have to live with this accursed knowledge.
