Eh, complaining about misogyny/rape themes in fantasy writing seems like a poor gotcha. Are we just not supposed to talk about rape or misogyny, ever? To never have it appear in our fiction? And complaining about his more out-there art also feels like grasping at straws.
The second link is fucked up, though. Pretty inexcusable.
I think what he said in the second link is really fucked, but I don't think it's fair to retroactively condemn Kirkbride's work just because it has themes of rape or misogyny in them. Besides, it's not like he was the only one involved in that Azura Trial RP.
