Jason Aaron's controversial comic being adapted to TV, and a certain problem with it is mentioned

Woke writer Jason Aaron's controversial comic titled "Southern Bastards" is being adapted to TV, and Pajiba's commented on how his co-creator, Jason Latour, makes it all the more complicated an affair:

Created by Jason Aaron and Jason Latour, the book told the story of a small town in Alabama that was home to a high school football coach/crimelord named Coach Boss, and all of the enemies he’s made over the years. Such enemies include Earl Tubb, who fights back against the maniacal coach. The comic book and its creators felt powerful. I remember Latour putting out an image in the style of the book of a bulldog pissing on the rebel flag in response to the Charlottesville riots. It rules.

Then, at some point, the book just… stopped. For a long time, I wasn’t sure why. It certainly didn’t come out quickly. Between April of 2014 and May of 2018, only 20 issues were released. Latour and Aaron are both successful comic creators, so I just assumed that other work had gotten in the way. I found out recently that that was not the case. It turns out that, in 2020, Jason Latour was accused of sexual harassment by illustrator and designer Lauren Tracey, a.k.a. Lorua. Then, surprise, many other people came forward to say that Latour was a creep. [...]

There was zero mention of Latour’s past in the announcement. I don’t expect there to be, but it does feel odd. It doesn’t seem that he will be involved, but the comic book was essentially cancelled due to his actions. There was a planned 21st issue that he was going to write and draw, which was never released. The second volume of the series was collected in 2022, but it doesn’t seem that there are any future plans for the series to continue, and, to my memory, the story on the page was far from finished.

Very interesting. One could wonder if such topics have anything to do with Aaron's own woke pandering. To date, it looks like Latour's career is mostly over after the accusations were made against him, though Aaron continues to be one of modern comicdom's worst contributors in terms of political correctness. If their would-be indie masterpiece stopped publication due to Latour's misconduct, it's hard to care. But while this article does remind of something troubling from the past several years, it fumbles near the end with a forked tongue cliche that was perhaps sadly expected:

In a world where I am (rightfully) constantly hearing about JK Rowling’s hateful actions whenever the new adaptation of Harry Potter is brought up, it just seems like there should be some talk about Latour as well.

Why do they keep mentioning their ludicrous beef with Rowling in the same articles as the subjects she claimed to have been a victim of? Do they realize they're throwing out whatever impact they hoped to make with bath water? Let's be clear. Latour's the one who made mistakes, not Rowling. The bizarre double standard in regards to Rowling has got to stop.

"Southern Bastards" sounds like little more than yet another dark crime drama that takes up too much of the market today, and I have no interest in viewing a live action adaptation of it any more than reading the comic. And yes, some discussion of Latour's sexual misconduct could be brought up. But anybody who's going to keep constantly putting Rowling in the very same boat is making their point utterly soggy, and it's about time that cease, as it reeks of ideological grudge-laden obsession, which is not how you make a valid point about serious issues.
