Conservative Hispanic author Jon Del Arroz had his new crowdfunding campaign listed on Kickstarter ... only to be shadow banned.
This follows the Science Fiction Writers of America openly discriminating against conservative authors and the comic book industry being revealed to have a clique of decision makers shutting out conservative creators.
KickStarter Appears To Be Shadow Banning Jon Del Arroz’s New Dynamite Thor Campaign

The most rabid leftist a-hole I know is in the comic book business.
Is it possible Marvel intervened?
Marvel might own certain representations of Thor, but they can’t own Thor nor the historical mythologies.
Conservatives figured out a couple of years ago that Kickstarter is politically compromised and they all went over to alternative platform, Indiegogo. But, there’s a stupid civil war among conservative comics creators, and it leads some of them to go back to Kickstarter out of spite. It never works out for them. I thank the civil war, though, because it drove me out of the hobby completely.
RAH would not get the time of day in today’s world of left-leaning publishing houses.....
that’s why no one actually buys comics. I know the fat clerks at most Hollywood comic stores and they flat out, in general told me, only libs buy them.
They are 95% available for download on torrent. I’m sure conservative comic readers try to grab the old PRE-2000 series which is the time the biz went solidly left.
Thor as a superhero, is what I wondered about.
Agreed
Not likely. Jon Del Arroz hasn’t been informed by anyone that the intellectual property is an issue.
For example, he was personally told off by Cat Rambo at the SFWA why they wouldn’t accept a “white supremacist” Hispanic into the organization.
And he’s been informed when liberal bullies are banning him from conventions because of his politics.
Given that they tell him via social media or letter in lesser scenarios, he’d certainly find out if there was an actual legal objection.
Furthermore, the campaign is being shadow banned by GOOGLE. That means it isn’t just someone mad at him at Kickstarter. It also dovetails the shadow banning of his other works.
Liberals are just censoring conservative creators.
Big Tech collusion also killed some of the alternatives. For example, Patreon alternative Freestarter was killed when Paypal, Stripe and Chase Bank got together to cut off its payment processing ... because it wouldn’t ban people liberals have deemed unpersons.
There is conservative content being created. The “Alt-Hero” comic is one.
