Controversial transgender author Gretchen Felker-Martin is doubling down after being fired for mocking Charlie Kirk’s murder.
Felker-Martin, whose Red Hood comic series was canceled by DC Comics, defended her post saying, “[I] hope the bullet’s OK.” On Patreon, she described Kirk’s “sneering face” and claimed his “cruelty will linger like a bad smell for decades.”
DC Comics swiftly cut ties, saying posts that promote hostility or violence “are inconsistent with DC’s standards of conduct.” Retailers were asked to pull the debut comic from shelves and offer refunds.
Felker-Martin previously sparked outrage by saying she wanted to slit J.K. Rowling’s throat and praising Osama Bin Laden’s “principled” 9/11 attacks. Despite criticism, she refused to retract her comments about Kirk, claiming she was exposing “violent white supremacy.”
Do you think DC made the right call canceling her comic — or was this a step too far?
