Almost immediately after she posted about the shooting of Charlie Kirk, author and trans woman Gretchen Felker-Martin started having second thoughts. Felker-Martin, who wrote the latest iteration of DC Comics’ Red Hood series, said “thoughts and prayers you Nazi bitch” on Bluesky in response to the killing of Kirk, a right-wing influencer and Trump ally who was staunchly anti–trans rights. “Hope the bullet’s okay after touching Kirk,” she added. Kirk died after being shot at a stop on his American Comeback Tour organized by the conservative youth organization he founded, Turning Point USA. While Felker-Martin stands by her views—“Charlie Kirk was a monster. He spent his life hurting and targeting other people,” she tells WIRED—she was worried about the potential backlash to her post. And it came, swiftly. She says she’s received “hundreds, if not thousands, of death threats and attempted doxings.” Not only was her account suspended by Bluesky for a week, but that night, she says, she got a call from DC editor in chief Marie Javins saying they were cutting ties with her and canceling Red Hood, which focuses on Gotham City vigilante Jason Todd. DC is also offering retailers credit for copies that have already sold. “The tone of Gretchen’s posts, not her personal views, was of concern for DC, and that was clearly communicated to her on August 13. DC does not moderate the personal opinions of its talent, however, when personal statements are directly tied to DC stories or characters, or uses language that can be seen as non-peaceful, we review and act if necessary,” Marie Javins, DC’s editor in chief, told WIRED in a statement. “Gretchen’s choice to continue her rhetoric despite this feedback was her own. Our decision to cease publication was a result. She is a passionate and talented writer, and DC wishes her the best with her future work.” Bluesky did not respond to WIRED’s request for comment about suspending Felker-Martin or others who shared content criticizing Kirk. In an email viewed by WIRED, Bluesky notified Felker-Martin that her post violated Bluesky’s rules “regarding violent or threatening speech.” Felker-Martin is one of a number of writers and artists who have faced professional repercussions for mocking Kirk after his death. Drew Harrison, an artist at Sucker Punch Productions—a subsidiary of Sony and PlayStation—posted on Bluesky, “I hope the shooter’s name is Mario so that Luigi knows his bro got his back.” Following a public pressure campaign, she appears to have been fired shortly afterward, later posting, “If standing up against fascism is what cost me my dream job I held for 10 years, I would do it again 100x stronger.” Harrison shared a screenshot of a series of missed calls from unknown numbers, with one person replying, “We've already moved on. She's been fired. When she finds work somewhere else, we will get her fired again, and again, and again.” Sony did not immediately respond to a request for comment. However, the company confirmed to Kotaku that it had parted ways with Harrison.
