It appears that the DC comic series centered around the Red Hood character, featuring Jason Todd as the antihero, will be discontinued shortly following the release of its first issue. This decision might be due to a series of posts made by writer Gretchen Felker-Martin on Bluesky, expressing her views regarding the recent fatal shooting of conservative media personality Charlie Kirk.
In simpler and more polite terms:
Felker-Martin shared a post about Charlie Kirk’s passing, responding with an offensive comment such as “Sending my condolences, you comparison to a Nazi.” Another user replied to this comment with “I hope the bullet meant for Charlie Kirk didn’t harm you.” Due to these posts, Felker-Martin’s account was temporarily suspended by Bluesky, as they violated the site’s policies regarding inappropriate behavior and disrespectful language.
The Bluesky platform clearly states that promoting or praising violence or injury is a violation of its rules. We carefully examine reports and take appropriate action on content that exalts harm directed towards anyone. It’s essential that violence does not have a role in constructive discussions, and we strive to encourage healthy, inclusive conversations.
Gretchen Felker-Martin’s feelings towards Kirk aren’t shocking given she is a trans woman and Kirk has publicly voiced his negative views on trans individuals. A representative from DC Comics spoke directly to The Hollywood Reporter, stating “At DC Comics, we greatly respect our creators and audience and uphold the right for everyone to express their personal viewpoints peacefully. Any content or comments that can be perceived as inciting hatred or violence contradict DC’s code of conduct.
The upcoming issues of the Red Hood series have been cancelled, but retailers will receive store credit for any copies of the first issue they’ve already bought, even if some of those copies have already been sold. The first issue was released on September 10, which unfortunately coincided with Kirk’s shooting and subsequent death in Utah.
As a film enthusiast, I’m sharing some insights about the recent news buzzing around the cancellation of “Red Hood.” According to The Hollywood Reporter, it seems that Felker-Martin’s statements weren’t the sole culprit, but rather a straw that broke the camel’s back. The exact reasons behind this decision, which may involve other factors yet to be clarified, remain unclear at present. Regrettably, neither Felker-Martin nor her representatives have issued any official statement on the matter.
