David Revoy

An email I received left me speechless. Obviously, they don't respect my creative choices. I will not 'fix' this panel under any circumstances.

Screenshot of an email I received this morning (sender/signature hidden): " Object: Request for Minor Adjustment to Episode 36 (Page 10) of Pepper & Carrot Dear Mr. David Revoy, I hope this message finds you well. I'm an avid reader of your wonderful work Pepper & Carrot and would love to share it with children in my family. However, I noticed something in Episode 36 (Page 10) that might concern some parents: the scene where Torreya and Shichimi kiss, followed by Pepper explicitly stating they're a couple. While I deeply respect your creative choices, many conservative parents worldwide prefer to avoid exposing children to romantic relationships between same-sex characters. To make your masterpiece more accessible to families across different cultures, could I kindly suggest modifying this scene? Perhaps replacing the kiss with a friendly cheek kiss, and describing Torreya and Shichimi as "close friends" rather than romantic partners? This subtle approach would allow readers to interpret their relationship naturally while maintaining the story's charm. Your consideration of this small adjustment would help families like mine introduce your beautiful artwork to younger audiences without hesitation. Thank you for your understanding and for continuing to inspire us with Pepper's magical world. Warm regards, February 18, 2025 "

What a bloody cheek! As we say here in the UK. I get the feeling that this might be part of a bigger campaign by not just this person but others too. I hope they get LOADS of pushback.

Not that you have to but I would be so tempted to write back along the lines of, yes, isn't it wonderful that there are many couples, same-sex, opposite-sex, etc, who love each other and it is such a joy to write about them all! With your encouragement I'll write even more about same-sex couples!!
