DC Cancels 'Red Hood' Comic Book Series After Writer Shares Inflammatory Post Following Charlie Kirk Shooting

[Coventina]

DC has shelved its Red Hood comic book series following writer Gretchen Felker-Martin sharing posts on Bluesky that joked about the shooting of Charlie Kirk, who was killed by an assassin’s bullet Wednesday.

“Hope the bullet’s okay after touching Charlie Kirk,” read one post. “Thoughts and prayers you Nazi bitch,” read another by Felker-Martin. The writer is trans, while Kirk was known for his anti-trans stance. Felker-Martin’s Bluesky account is now deactivated, but those posts were screenshotted and widely spread before DC canceled the series.

“At DC Comics, we place the highest value on our creators and community and affirm the right to peaceful, individual expression of personal viewpoints. Posts or public comments that can be viewed as promoting hostility or violence are inconsistent with DC’s standards of conduct,” a DC spokesperson said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter.

While the Kirk posts got attention online over the past 24 hours, insiders stress that it was merely the final straw that broke the camel’s back, rather than the sole reason for Red Hood’s cancellation. Any post viewed as promoting hostility or violence would break the company’s social media policy.

But no concern expressed over the trans-hate that Kirk promoted.

Fuck you, DC!

5. I'm pretty dull minded, ask anyone. I don't get your point. I don't get being coy about an opinion ...

... just explain it to me like the low IQ person I am.

7. I really don't "get it" either

words do have consequences, depending upon who is speaking and what is said

consequences can range from a mild rejoinder to a slap in the face to a bullet to the head, I suppose

some people get away with just about anything

9. Or you could write clearly and not in riddles. If you want to be a contributor and not a drag on proceedings. . . . . nt

6. isn't there a lot of violence in DC Comics?

Maybe not the most violent of comics, but still.

8. So if anyone on the liberal side is as inflammatory as Charlie Kirk was, they get canceled.

Jessie Waters can try to brand all people with compassion as evil monsters who need to be hunted down now. The president can declare all caring and thinking people as the enemy, but if anyone speaks freely on the liberals side, they will be canceled.

10. Right wing will be coercing Cancel Culture onto non-Party approved messaging again.
