As TCJ.com reported, in August,
I\’ve never heard of Pickrodt or his imprint Ray Ray Books, but he has picked a method certain to make him notorious. He sued eleven comic creators and a publisher — Whit Taylor, Laura Knetzger, Josh O\’Neill, Tom Kaczynski, Hazel Newlevant, Emma Louthan, Ben Passmore, Emi Gennis, Jordan Shiveley, Morgan Pielli, Rob Clough, and Uncivilized Books — for $2.5 million for repeating or reporting on Taylor\’s statement that alleges that Pickrodt raped her.
I can\’t really see suing as helping that situation, particularly since it might appear to be an attempt to silence anyone who spoke out against this kind of abuse. To assist in the legal defense, SPX has established the Defend The 11 legal aid fund.
Fundraising has brought in almost $50,000 of the desired $120,000 in the week since it\’s been active. The group of 11 defendants earlier put out this statement:
Another TCJ.com article covers some of the background behind this, as many criticized the CBLDF for not helping, although the organization must follow its charter to stick to First Amendment issues as a non-profit. Half of the original $20,000 provided by SPX would have normally gone to support the CBLDF, and that organization supported the rerouting of the funds this year.
