And, of course, Gretchen Felker-Martin's Red Hood comic was cancelled. Because she felt happy for the death of a man who dedicated his career to spouting white supremacy, zionism, transphobia, and racism - to the point of constantly inciting violence. To the point of saying the deaths of children due to school shootings were an acceptable loss to keep gun laws loose in the United States. A man who said that, if his infant daughter were to get pregnant after being sexually assaulted, he would make sure she'd have the baby.
Gretchen Felker-Martin was fired from writing a comic book while Jeph Loeb, a racist who said Asian people are disposable and that`s why nobody cares about watching them die on television, is writing his own Batman book right now. Felker-Martin was fired while Scott Lobdell wrote Red Hood for almost 10 years even after being accused of (and admitting to) sexual harassment. Felker-Martin was fired while Tom King, an ex-CIA agent who worked on the Iraq war and has joked about the torture of prisoners is celebrated as one of DC's greatest talents.
I'm seeing people say this wasn't even "the right" reason to cancel the book. I just read the first issue. It's not even close to bad. It's an interesting noir with great art and a very nice voice for Jason Todd. It could've potentially been the first interesting Jason Todd comic since Grant Morrison wrote the man. Batfamily and Jason Todd fans who were up in arms, harassing the woman, begging the book to be cancelled, calling it the "evil comic"? You are all children. More importantly, you are all T R A N S P H O B E S.
If you dedicate this much of you life to harassing a trans woman out of a book while the men I've mentioned get to enjoy healthy, wealthy careers, you are pathetic.
