So did he make the covers or not? You can't just say someone's part of a hategroup and then "my bad" it later.

He did make a cover for a comic by a guy who was hash tagging it as #comicsgate but it seems the artist Lee was not familiar with any of that aspect of the project...

Twitter promotes a very fast and loose style. Fact checking, if done at all, is done after that fact.He shouldn't have publicly stated it on Twitter in such a fashion without more information
He shouldn't have publicly stated it on Twitter in such a fashion without more information. Comicsgate is pretty much a Twitter thing, so if a person isn't on Twitter they probably haven't heard of it
I mean, yeah, but I think it implies that Jae Lee is involved in the Comicsgate movement.
You should probably read the rest of the thread.
Preach!Oh damn I didn't know Jae Lee was a Comicsgate guy. Fuck that whole group, especially Ethan Van Sciver.
The very obvious implication of the tweet was that Jae Lee was an active participant of Comicsgate as opposed drawing a cover for one member without double checking.
King needed to have thought this through and he didn't.

a short one too
To be fair, when Ethan Van Nazi is yelling on Twitter "JAE LEE IS COMICSGATE! LOOK AT THIS COVER HE DREW FOR US, COMICSGATE!" it's understandable how a mistake could be made.
