A hate-filled transgender author has lost a lucrative deal with DC Comics after celebrating the\u00a0assassination of Charlie Kirk\u00a0\u2014 saying her only worry was for the well-being of the sniper\u2019s bullet that killed him.<\/p>\n

Gretchen Felker-Martin\u00a0\u2014 who previously wrote a fantasy about JK Rowling burning to death \u2014 lost the new deal soon after her vile take on Kirk\u2019s assassination last Wednesday.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cThoughts and prayers you Nazi b-tch,\u201d Felker-Martin had posted about the slain dad of two.<\/p>\n

\u201cHope the bullet\u2019s okay after touching Charlie.\u201d<\/p>\n

DC Comics had only published the first in Felker-Martin\u2019s \u201cRed Hood\u201d series, offering retailers a credit for unsold copies while canceling all orders for upcoming comics, Cosmic Book News reported<\/p>\n

The comics giant told Popverse that it \u201caffirm[s] the right to peaceful, individual expression of personal viewpoints\u201c \u2014 but \u201cposts or public comments that can be viewed as promoting hostility or violence are inconsistent with DC\u2019s standards of conduct.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI stand by the sentiment of what I said. Kirk was evil. He can no longer hurt us, even if his cruelty will linger like a bad smell for decades to come,\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n

\"DC<\/p>\n

She added she only regrets that she \u201cdidn\u2019t take that cruelty more seriously when people were ready to discuss it, to unpack how violence is done and at whose behest.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2023, she called out several writers she said were transphobic \u2014 including Rowling \u2014 and posted in a since-deleted tweet, \u201cIf they all had one throat, man.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kirk was shot dead last week in front of thousands of spectators while speaking at a campus event at Utah State University.<\/p>\n

Student Tyler Robinson\u00a0\u2014 who has a transgender boyfriend \u2014 was taken into custody on Friday and is facing murder charges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
