Cheers Bud

The immediate reaction to the aforementioned live stream with Glenn O’Leary and Mark Millar was the attempted cancellation of Millar. In order to discredit him, people quickly swooped in on a single interaction with Ethan Van Sciver, in which Millar simply replied to Sciver’s comment on the live stream with “Cheers bud.” This one screenshot paved the way for detractors to label Millar part of “comicsgate” despite his insistence that he doesn’t “believe in ANY factions.” The attempt to label him does seem to have backfired, with many comic fans making light of the desperate move, even managing to get #cheersbud trending on the platform.
