I can absolutely say i had no idea this was a thing. Then i don't do twitter or podcasts and stuff so when i saw it mentioned in the thread i was like is this really a thing where people are going after Slott for being transphobic and now seeing this i kind of get where people are coming from but i don't think Slott was being transphobic at all and if i'm honest i feel it does a diservice to real trans issues that need to be addressed to be using it as a way to imo "get over on a writer in a smart way." for making a move people don't like. I think this is highly unfair to Dan Slott, i don't know anything about the man but to get a label like that based on essentially doing the same thing that was done to Wanda and Pietro. I mean was it rape when Storm lost her powers.
