Hey, so you might notice that the name of the show has changed. You might have also noticed that I currently don’t have an actual banner for the show (it’s coming soon I promise). I wanted to make a small thread explaining this. 1/ 10
Last week I had someone kindly reach out to me and ask me if I had ever noticed or realized that my logo, and in retrospect, the name of the show was very close (or even parody) of the BLM logo and name. I honestly never had that cross my mind 2/10
I am a very white man, something that definitely has given me privilege and some blindness to my actions. This show launched April of last year, right before the George Floyd protests happened and BLM was a major spotlight again. 3/10
It was never my intention to make something so similar and I don’t believe it was Stephen’s either when he made the logo. The name just kind of found it’s way into my brain. It was probably something subconsciously associated. 4/10
I’m very sorry if others have made this connection and we’re upset with the show because of it. That’s the last thing I ever want this show to do. Comics have been my saving grace for years. I want this show and community I foster to be a safe and open place. 5/10
The blame should always fall to me for being the host, creator, and basically curator of the things around me. I’m always trying my best to listen and grow when people reach out. This is one of those moments. I’ll be putting an intro 6/10
To all past episodes to kind of explain the name change and as it’s been for a while now, you’ll always find links to support BLM and other causes. 7/10
Not everything is fixed with the name just yet, but it should be by the weekend. As much as I wish this was a full time job for me, it’s not. I will be working on this as fast as possible in my free time. Stephen is doing the same with the new banners. 8/10
I’d also like to say never be sacred or afraid to reach out to me about things like this. I promise you I’ll never be upset for others seeing my mistakes. I want to make this the best show I can make and the most welcoming show I can make. 9/10
Thank you for any support you give and if you have any more feedback, questions, concerns, or just comments, please leave them below or dm me 10/10
