Genuinely, if you live in the UK you should so the consultation just to find out some of the unbelievable details of what's being proposed. Even with their spin and obfuscation it's shocking
the whole thing is of course completely revolting. 20 YEARS to settlement for refugees? no settlement if you’ve ever had a criminal conviction or a tax debt? 10 YEARS added if you’ve ever received benefits? partners and children on their own routes to settlement? What are you even TALKING about

So this was meant to be the Coven of Storms art. But keen eyes may note that this has absolutely zero association with storms. Sometimes that's how it goes.
Anyways, there's a fifth Witch Subclass now.

This is what I mean whenever I utter “Comics will break your heart.”
It's not just the women and girls we know of. It's all their future work, and everything they could have been, and how we build structures that shelter their abusers. It's how a man's future has always been worth more than my past, present, and future combined.

The worst part is that it really felt like the comics audience at large would come for your ass if you said anything. It still feels like that. Here I am years out and vague posting.
Here is a thing:
There were several years when I was one of VERY few journalists seriously covering harassment and abuse issues in comics (and by extension sometimes video games). During that time, I became the Person People Told Things To.

While I have a long stubborn history of just lasting things out, this ain't it. The order of operations here has to be Everyone Leaves TwitX -> Companies have very little reason to be there -> Governments have even less reason to be there -> Only assholes remain - TwitX becomes a financial loss.
You used to see this "logic" with people who argued against blocking trolls. "If you block, they win!"
Win what? What are we fighting for? Are we actually believing the trolls here? "If you block me I win!" has the whiff of "I win times infinity" from an eight-year-old.

I am so sad about the creators comics has lost because either they realised the system was insane, or they tried to work with it and broke their bodies.
Comics is a beautiful, deeply creative, and often personal way of story telling, and I miss it - but I don't miss the system one bit.

This is a ridiculous way to run a business, which is why after I turn this book in I'm not doing it anymore! I can't spend the rest of my career arguing with editors about why I'm physically incapable of drawing ten comic pages a day.
