Within a very short space of time of this piece being up, someone on Twitter who had read this was talking about how I had written a homophobic joke for the con.
The fact there's an entire paragraph that clearly states it was unscripted, and that we'd run out of material, was essentially missed by the person.
What I dislike is that between the way the offended party has presented events, the people using what he wrote as factual and repeating it, and folks like the above example who state that it was all very cold and deliberate even when they've read the truth, there are going to be a lot more people being hurt and feeling slighted needlessly.
Where they may not have been upset at a tasteless, unscripted, unplanned remark, they are certainly going to feel hurt when it's presented as a massive, pre-scripted, homophobic diatribe.
