     @atomictangerine @davidrevoy I mean, the words were polite, in the same way that saying "I'm terribly sorry for the inconvenience" while stabbing someone is polite. That letter was a smile with daggers behind it. It was the classic new-conservative talking line of cloaking bigotry behind the ludicrous claim that it "supports diversity" and "increases access to all".

     It is, to be frank, entryism. Entryism is an invasive species in your forest, prepared to destroy it if not eradicated.

     @davidrevoy Good that you’re not changing the panel. While I can appreciate that they wrote you a fairly politely worded request instead of an insulting one, the message is absolutely not acceptable! Who we love, is not a “creative choice”. Thank you for standing up to this.

     I wanted to take a moment with this artwork to express my gratitude to everyone who commented and showed support after I reposted last week the email asking me to erase the relation between these two characters from my comic for homophobic reasons ( https://framapiaf.org/@davidrevoy/114024633213361982 ).

     I was overwhelmed by your amount of responses, but in a good way.

     Thanks for all this support against hate and intolerance. This only strengthens my motivation to continue in this way with more artworks like that. 💜

     @teinal @davidrevoy You do understand that every nice-sounding word in that email was a complete lie and rhetorical posture, right? You can wrap the poison pill in chocolate, but it will kill all the same.

     That behavior does not deserve respect. It's less respectable than the public bigot who yells slurs. At least the loud bigots are being honest.

     @davidrevoy For me his statement was better to read than the statements wrote by "everyone who commented and showed support". And no, not because of the attitude to homosexual relationship but by the way how they refer to another person.

     He asked you directly. You could say no and that would be it. Instead he was pelted with insults in the name of tolerance? 😞 This "support against hate" became hate itself 😞

     If we demand respect, let us show it ourselves.

     @davidrevoy I'm just glad to have found your work. I've got a hardcover copy of volume 1 on the way, and I'm sure it'll get circulated around my roller derby league when I'm done with it.

     @davidrevoy It's DriveThruRPG and I buy lots of RPG sourcebooks from them and they're always lovely. I expect it'll be just fine.

     @roadriverrail :blobcatheart: Thank you! And don't hesitate to give a feedback (public or PM here, as you want) about the print quality.

     The service I use is 'print on demand', so they use the same file for printing as when I submitted it years ago and checked, and I hope their process is still the same. They are literally printing the books one by one.

     You can quickly browse all the efforts I had to do to make a file without using any proprietary software: https://www.davidrevoy.com/article757/the-english-book-printed-project-production-report-3
