So you’re really just dismissing the multiple homophobia accusations against him, then?

Apparently it’s vitally important that I be told that I have replies to my comments about the first Ghostbusters trailer.

I’m getting swamped with notifications, and I suspect I’m missing fresh replies as a result.

Nope. I got a notification that someone replied to me on it about an hour ago. They are loading comments really slowly right now.
