I'm a lesbian, and I think that in this case - as in most - intent matters. I'm not defending what he said, because it was stupid and shallow. But given that he's been a fairly vocal ally in general, I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt for saying something stupid. We all do it, especially when we're…

None of us was born knowing everything there is to know. I've said plenty of dumb, ill-advised shit in my lifetime thinking that I was being helpful or sympathetic. Fortunately, I'm not famous, and the people who know me realized what I was going for and didn't hold it against me.

Yes. She-Hulk smash puny ex-spider.

Andrew Garfield kept pushing for Spider-Man to be bisexual, so I'm pretty positive he just said something dumb and that's really the end of it.

I have so many other things to be mad about that this barely registered on my radar yesterday when I first saw the headline elsewhere. He said something dumb, but I get what he was going for, and I'm not about to crucify someone for saying something dumb that isn't actually offensive or malicious in nature.

I definitely got a huge laugh out of this comment. That's like something I would have tried to do at that age. But because my parents were reasonable like you, it didn't go far.

Or you can go out to your car and not change your kid on a restaurant table, because that's fucking disgusting. Come on. There are always other options.

I have this thing where when kids reach a certain pitch in their voice, I literally slam my hands over my ears because it's so piercingly uncomfortable. I probably would have died of a stress-induced stroke had I been at that restaurant.

Oh my god. How fuckin' hard did they hit her that she caused damage to their car, anyway? Was it made out of composted kelp?

I like kids just fine and 99% of the time I don't even notice them in a restaurant. However, I would absolutely draw the line at a naked baby running around showing its asshole to people and a five-year-old coming up to my table and singing loudly. This is just gross. Inconsiderate at a minimum, as well as completely…

I thought that was Excalibur, not Captain Britain?

I would fucking kill for that movie.

There's a Red Guardian.

Not if his idea of a beer is Miller Lite, it ain't!

Sure, Scotty, you can get me a beer. Right after you fix the giant mess you made in Wisconsin, and also buy a six-pack of beer that doesn't taste like rinsing your mouth out at the dentist after a cleaning.

She told me that Stan was really, really nice. And probably relieved to not be asked about comic books, for once.

He's damn lucky nobody poisoned that fucking cake.

I have a friend who was outside NYCC about a decade ago, smoking a cigarette, when this little old guy came up to her and asked for a light. She gave him one, and they chatted for a few minutes about whatever. He finished his smoke, thanked her for the light again, and went back inside.

Okay.

Whatever.
