I am waiting to hear a statement from Marvel or Disney on this , but I have seen a lot of vitriol thrown this guys way …and frankly , I think the current Marvel Star Wars comics suck monkey balls , I loved The Last Jedi , but their adaptation of it looks like a fucking 3 year old drew it .They are also driving the character of Vader into the ground . If you want to talk about over exposure , that is the worst offender I have seen . The original Marvel Star Wars had more heart and imagination than the current line up will ever have,talking green rabbit and all , and they knew to keep Vader as a lurking threat in the background so that when he did show up , it had more gravitas . It also goes to show that companies silencing voices is not just directed at conservatives , it happens on both sides of the fence …https://io9.gizmodo.com/star-wars-writer-chuck-wendig-claims-marvel-fired-him-f-1829718822
Companies don’t “silence voices” of employees. They fire people who blab a lot on Twitter about their politics while using their exposure and status to take shots at those who don’t agree with them. Wendig is still free to use his fame to promote his politics; he just can’t do it from the lofty position Marvel and Disney offered.
Wendig has been acting like an ass for a long time and now he’s playing the victim because it finally caught up with him. If he’d stuck to writing and used his popularity to promote his product rather than his political views, he’d still have a job. At some point, being obnoxious on social media makes you a liability to your employer.
Of course, my assumption is that it’s his mouth that got him in trouble. It could be that his comics suck and Comicsgate makes a convenient scapegoat when nobody is buying your product.
