      Today I got the call. I’m fired. Because of the negativity and vulgarity that my tweets bring. Seriously, that’s what Mark, the editor said. It was too much politics, too much vulgarity, too much negativity on my part.

      Basically, because I was not civil.

      Which, of course, is their decision to make. I’m not their boss. (And, turns out, they’re not the boss of me, either. Har har.) (I joke because otherwise, I cry.)

      My understanding over this call was that this was a Marvel decision, not an LFL decision, but I can’t really confirm that. The editor said he had made the call. He seemed genuinely upset at my tweets and profanity, so maybe that's accurate. And again, that's his right to do so.

      If they honestly feel that my presence will damage the book, I don't want that. I want the book to shine, and artists like Juanan Ramirez and Greg Smallwood to do their amazing thing. Artists like that are gods in my mind, so I'm happy to not distract from their literal magic.

      But it does set a troubling precedent. One we’ve seen already – James Gunn, Jessica White, and so on – of folks fired because they riled up the wasp’s nest of asterisk-gate.

      And it seems odd to be mad that I’m mad about politics when – well, look around. Climate change, kids in cages, sexual harassers at the topmost tiers of power, and so on. A call for civility as the PA GOP candidate threatens Tom Wolf with a golf cleat stomping. I dunno, man.

      I know it hands Comicsgate a big win. It will embolden them. But they won -- I’m out of Marvel and, I guess for now, at least, out of any kind of Star Wars. Do your victory lap, I guess. (Just please leave me out of it.)

      (All that being said, a lot of wonderful people still work inside those institutions and storyworlds, and I hope you’ll continue to support them and the stories they’re telling.)

      To conclude: this is really quite chilling. And it breaks my heart. I am very sad, and worried for the country I live in, and the world, and for creative people all around. Courage to you all. I have a dire fear this is going to get a whole lot worse before it gets better.

          I'm sorry that this happened to you, Chuck. I'm not a particular fan of Star Wars or Marvel in particular, but I've followed you on Twitter for a long while and I both find you funny and respect your integrity. I hope you bounce back soon.

          We don’t know each other but I wanted to say that I’m sorry. This is awful, I know how you feel. We need to overhaul fandom and the more incidents there are where creatives get fired after a mob runs a campaign, the more worried I get for all of us.

          I’m with you, Chuck, for what it’s worth. I’m genuinely desperate for community management by entertainment providers that hold their fandom accountable. Caving to tantrums is not love. Expecting the best of your fandom is love and helping them to be better is love.

          Canadian here. Can't vote, but I just cancelled my Marvel Unlimited account and let them know in a separate email it was because of their choosing to fall in step with some of the worst elements of American society.

          This is actually not even a question. The human race can no longer afford to coddle the ignorance of Republicans if it is to survive. This is a decision moment for the species.

          'Like your life depends on it' Yeah, no it doesn't and it never will. If a civil war where loss of life is a real factor, your side will be the one that starts it; when you start getting upset at the tools and rules you've put in place being used against you.
