Drew Harrison, a key character artist at Sucker Punch Productions, currently involved in the project ‘Ghost of Yotei‘, has been met with criticism following his public celebration of the death of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk.

The post was created following the announcement of a tragic event: Kirk, the creator of Turning Point USA, was fatally shot at Utah Valley University.
