honestly this place sucks anyway. been tryna make it happen but it just doesn’t have the features (wowww we JUST got saved posts πŸ™„) and it doesn’t have the userbase and it’s been too long waiting for it to improve. they clearly don’t want to do better and would rather we leave them alone huh? byeeee

Particularly, the fact that Gretchen Falker-Martin's account remains suspended at the same time as her work is being pulled in what amounts to cowardly retaliation on behalf of fascists is incredibly, incredibly shameful and just makes @jay.bsky.team et al look like the collaborators they are

Like I’m pretty sure even when a creator gets outed as a sex beast publishers tend to quietly let the remaining issues of the series they’ve commissioned roll out before cutting ties. Trying to recall the last time I saw such a sharp and immediate severing, especially over a social media post.

Hello everyone. You may know Gretchen Felker-Martin has once again been suspended from bc they do that whenever some chud complains. Her brand-new ongoing DC series was also cancelled for the same reason. It’s stupid fascist bullshit as usual. Gretchen’s work rules. Consider supporting her here:

every single racist, misogynist, transphobe, homophobe, and those who prize money and power over human life will die someday and there's nothing they can do to stop that. death is inescapable. they do, however, get to decide to grow a conscience or else be mocked and celebrated after death

Despicable conduct from DC and @safety.bsky.app . They should be ashamed

I don't think that Gretchen Felker-Martin was advocating for violence but rather strongly expressing relief at knowing that Kirk could no longer be actively encouraging his bigoted fear and hatred. In that light, I hope that DC comics reconsiders their decision to cancel the Red Hood.

It’s an absolute shame that DC fired Gretchen Felker- Martin for exercising free speech and then @bsky.app suspended her account. Every writer here should be decrying this because we have to stand up for each other! This is ridiculous.

If a publisher is able to facilitate buybacks of works due to public outrage about a creator’s acme social media posts, then that publisher is both cop and little punk. DC Comics is permanently out of my TBR pile. πŸ™…β€β™€οΈ

Some Fucking Nazi: *dies*

People Who Accepted the Genocide of Gaza and Police Brutality and Murders of Trans and Queer People as Unavoidable Parts of Society and Insisted For Decades You Simply Must Shrug Off For the Sake of Some Imaginary Sense of Harm Reduction: violence is never acceptable
