Kate Leth wants men to be murdered.
Kate Leth wants men to be murdered.
I suggest an email campaign. Let’s ask all the men who contribute to ComicsAlliance if they want to promote hate. Let’s ask all the men at BOOM! if they want to promote hate. Anything she does, anywhere she goes, contact every man involved. Every man at every con she attends, get in touch. When she makes her twitter public again, watch for conversations with men. Talk to those men.
Ask them if they want to do business with somebody who has said “kill all men”. Ask them if they want to have conversations with somebody who has said “kill all men”. Ask them if they support her message of murder.
We need to fix the comics industry. But we can’t do it all at once. Let’s start with one writer. Let’s get this misandrist who calls for murder out of the comics industry.
Kate may say “it’s only a joke”. But we know that jokes can harm others. Kate may try to say these tweets are faked. If so, why has she made her twitter private twice this year? Why did she archive her tweets? Why can’t you search her tweets anymore? These tweets were screencapped along with many others before she did these things.
Kate Leth has no defense for her words. There is no reason to say “kill all men”. It is exactly like saying “kill all women”. It is nothing but hatred.
It’s time to erase hate.

Contact these men and ask them why they are doing business with Kate Leth, a woman who has said “kill all men”. Be sure to include this picture so they understand what was said.
It’s difficult to find a list of people who are still working for ComicsAlliance. If you can find contact information for those men, share it. https://twitter.com/comicsalliance
Some of the previous writers for comicsalliance, including:

Our first step is to contact the people who pay Kate Leth, a known misandrist who has said “kill all men”. But we shouldn’t stop there. These companies may be slow to react. We should also reach out to the comics community at large.
Some of the male comics creators that Kate Leth talks to are:
Cameron Stewart: https://twitter.com/cameronmstewart
Matt Fraction: https://twitter.com/mattfraction
Chip Zdarsky: https://twitter.com/zdarsky
Jamie McKelvie: https://twitter.com/mckelvie
Kieron Gillen: https://twitter.com/kierongillen
Ask these men why they continue to associate with someone who has said “kill all men”.
I don’t know what cons Kate is appearing at this year. If you have this information, share it. We will then contact the men organizing the conventions and ask them the question.
There are many more people who should be contacted. Every man in the comics industry should know that Kate Leth is someone who says “kill all men” and “I hate men”. Contact all the comics industry men you know of and then share their contact details with the rest of us.
We must spread awareness of this misandrist. We MUST erase hate. It is the first step in making the comics industry better for everyone, regardless of gender.
That said, I’m more than positive that all of their responses will involve “she’s only joking, it’s not serious, men have privilege, power + privilege = whatever.”
Fighting back against the lie of social justice involves combating this lie as well. And if people are going to finally stand up against the censorship neopuritan ideology called social justice, it’s going to have to start here.
Those who would remove other people’s freedoms should be challenged on that same ground.
