Sometimes doing what’s right does not mean doing what’s easy.

This will be kinda long. Some of you know me irl, some know me as that loudmouth that keeps talking about his comics and indie comics in general. In my last newsletter, I put something that shouldn’t have surprised either group…

…to paraphrase, screw Nazis and stand up for vulnerable people, especially trans people (and you should especially do this if you have the privilege of a middle-aged cis/het white guy, as I do).

Even though I don’t have HUGE reach, I felt it was the very least I could do - to publicly state where I stand on this for anyone who would care to listen. And since my newsletter doesn’t have too many subscribers, I noticed when one dropped off, though not who. Oh well.

A few weeks later, I spoke to my oldest and closest friend (via text). We’ve never seen eye to eye on everything but I’ve never doubted his general good nature, and his desire to be and do good.

Of course, he was the lost subscription, which he told me was because the things I wrote made it clear we had different world views and he thought it was “better for our friendship” if he didn’t continue to follow my work.

And then he acted as if everything was totally normal.

I didn’t respond. I couldn’t. A couple days passed and he asked if we were ok. I’ve known this man since we were 12, I couldn’t just ignore him and leave him hanging. So I responded with this:

He immediately responded, though I couldn’t bring myself to read it for a couple days - until today. I doubt he would ever explicitly describe the “worldview” he’s talking about, but I’m afraid I already know what that is.
