Talked shit to star wars fans for I dont know how long, got warned by marvel. Still continued, got fired.
Nevertheless, she persisted, right?

And they are complicit in allowing our country to fall into fascism. The 3 year olds ripped from their parents and stuck in concentration camps are on them.
You mean the comicgaters that were harassing him for including LGBT characters?Talked shit to star wars fans for I dont know how long, got warned by marvel. Still continued, got fired.

you called alt right fascists "Star Wars fans". He never attacked, argued with, or criticized a single progressive/liberal fan.
I'm starting to believe the rumor that Marvel edits out the Trump jokes in their books.Trump: "Yeah, this alleged rape victim is a big liar. A phony. She made the whole thing up." *mimics her voice in an insulting fashion*
Some Writer at Disney/Marvel: "Fuck you."
Marvel: Woah, woah! That's going too far, you're fired.
When a rapist fascist is locking away children in concentration camps, I think that's about the best time to say "FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK SHIT SHIT SHIT!!"yes. "FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK SHIT SHIT SHIT!!"
He should really articulate his feelings and anger in a more professional manner. But this is the guy that wrote Aftermath so I should have expected this tbh
In 2018 you doing political rants on social media it's hard for me to feel bad. This wasn't a guy that just gave an option and got doxxed.
I keep politics off my social media pages. Just pics of funny cats and memes.
I'd say treat it how my parents always talked about dinner. Don't talk politics or religion.
Yeah, I'm sorry but I'm lumping in anyone defending his firing with alt right apologists. Because that's what you come off as. Artists and creators need to express themselves; it's kind of the backbone of being an artist in general.
LOLQuite the opposite, in 2018 all gloves should be off because the survival of the species is now in question. Risking one's job seems minor in comparison.
Do you have a corporate job where you have to support a family? Are you independently wealthy? Many of us can't risk our lives just to rant on social media .When kids are in cages, that's a cowardly stance to take. Plenty of creators are outspoken about politics and don't get fired.
I remember you from the gaming side. You're one of those people that believes that art can be separated from politics, if I recall. I also remember you bailing a thread instead of answering a question I had about cases where women or LGBT people are targeted because of their status as minorities, which would be others making their very existence inherently political.
Your stance is cowardly, and you can only have that stance because you don't feel like you're affected by the political atmosphere in the US (or wherever you live) right now.
Some of the replies in this thread are really disappointing. Shaking their fingers at him for getting angry over real things happening in the US, while they sit back behind their keyboards and probably assume that none of it affects them.
To keep crying for civility when one side of the political spectrum is systematically breaking down our institutions that allow for civility is cowardly at best, malignant at worst.

People are being round up and put in concentration camps. Nothing going on right now is a joke.

Politics + work + social media. Just don't do it.
And after reading that twitter tirade he made, i can see why Marvel fired him. He just went off the rails.
He wasn't ranting tho
Edit: guess he was but he was right so eh
Yes, the great Twitter Wars of the early 21st Century...
Absolutely no joke. But it is a joke pretending you're doing something about it on your twitter soapbox getting emotional and fired from your job. Won't even have money to donate to causes actually putting in work....
So yea, don't get fired cause of social media and donate personal time and money if you wanna be righteous to the cause.

If social media is so unimportant for these causes, why does Russia have such a huge network of fake/bot accounts?

Planting fake new stories and just ranting like a lunatic are two entirely different subjects to be discussed. Don't conflate the two.
If you look at his 'ranting', you'll see that his followers are just as angry as he is about the political situation, and the heinous acts committed on a daily basis by this regime. Angry people vote.
People that vote vote. He has no excuse now since he doesn't have a job. I wouldn't use him as the poster boy for how folks should be doing it. Not being able to pay your bills isn't a good position to be in. Hope his followers will help him if he struggles financially.

He only lost a job, not his job. Dudes a writer and as he said in his tweets about the firing he's working on more novels anyway so he'll be fine. The only thing he's not doing now is writing comics for marvel.
...doesn't have a job? What the fuck are you talking about? He's an author with well over 20 books published and more on the way.
Its only a 'good thing' because you're protecting yourself against corporate oppression. The only time someone should get fired for political views is if they're alt right or fascist views. We should be able to express political views that are on the side of truth and justice. It's not a good thing that people can get fired for expressing themselves in that sense. A company like marvel looks bad not for allowing someone like this guy to express his views, but for firing him for it. Marvel is the one who looks bad here.For 99.9% of us that aren't fucking authors keeping our political rants off social media is a good thing.
Fuck.
Racists money spend too.
Scared ass companies, ain't like they'll boycott y'all. Also shows that shitty people that share these opinions have high positions in these companies.
