I’ve said this before but I’ll say it again.

I’m kinda astonished people made a big deal of that because how the fuck you supposed to recognize a comic book writer in person?

Unless they’re like, fucking Alan “Bitch I Look Like Rasputin” Moore, how are you supposed to know? It’s not like they stick pictures of the damned writers in every comic book ever, right?

I bet you could just jam in whatever balding or bald white dude that isn’t actually the comic book artist/writer at a comic book signing thing and he wouldn’t get recognized and nobody would fucking care, but it’s a war crime because people don’t recognize Gail Simone on sight. Like, she looks like somebody’s middle aged mom lmao

I AM someone’s middle-aged mom.

I’ve said this endlessly, there was no reason on Earth that guy should recognize me. I never thought it was any big deal, nor was the guy being a jerk. He was just exited to see a movie about his favorite character, and I thought it was kind of adorable that he was explaining Deadpool to me and had no idea that he was speaking to someone who had written the book. The town we live in is tiny, I don’t do any local publicity, there is no way he should have known.

Somehow no one read the multitude of tweets I posted in that thread about how it wasn’t ‘mansplaining,’ it was just an excited Wade fan, and what I thought was a cute little story became this whole other thing. Frustrating.

So for the record, I thought it was kind of cute. The guy wasn’t rude at all, just excited. I’ve tried repeatedly to repeat all that, which I said at the time as well, just because I feel bad that the guy might READ one of those posts one day and feel foolish for absolutely no reason.
