permian-tropos:

so apparently chuck wendig got fired from doing the upcoming darth vader comics because he was too confrontational about his politics on social media 

the guy isn’t even that far left and I’ve griped about opinions I didn’t like from him so it’s not like I idolize him or anything but he’s definitely done the most for queer representation and being staunch against the reactionary backlash and you know I love his books and hate how swept under the rug they were (in large part because of reactionaries) and I was really really eager for those comics and so. I’m pretty fucking pissed they did this to Wendig but more broadly I’m pretty fucking pissed that Disney/Marvel/Lucasfilm openly did this because of someone’s “uncivil” center-left politics

I’m pretty Fucking Pissed. god damn. I can’t even figure out which angle to approach this from. the horrible political statement it makes, or that it happened to a personal favorite SW author
