It's his life, he can do what he wants.

It's very easy not to let this bother you, if you choose to do so.

I think you'll find that plenty of people are greatful for it actually. Myself included.

Yeah, yeah... "It's all fake, so they can do Dumb Stuff if they feel like it." I've heard it before. I strongly and vehemently disagree. Not every idea deserves to exist just because someone thought of it. Not every ejaculation deserves a name.

I mean I don't even really care about Transformers, I just think it's insane that someone got paid to write a Transformers book and decided that Who These Robots F*ck In Their Free Time was somehow more interesting than the whole Autobots vs. Decepticons thing.

I mean, let's put it out there straight: If you were a kid watching Transformers, and you even thought out loud, "I wonder who Optimus Prime would have sex with?", I promise you - I PROMISE YOU - then you were gonna be sitting all alone at the lunch table, because you were forevermore gonna be "The weird kid who thinks about Transformers and their sexual habits." And even as an adult, people are gonna immediately make excuses to stop hanging out with you ever again if you say sh*t like that out loud. "D'you think Optimus Prime would be straight, or gay?" "Ummm... neither? Because Optimus Prime is a robot ya f*cking weirdo." That's how that conversation goes in Real Life, or anywhere that isn't Tumblr.

NORMAL people don't give a sh*t who Optimus Prime has sex with; if they care about him at all they just want him to beat up Megatron. And yes, there is such a thing as "Normal People", or at least there USED to be and still ought to be.

I mean, it's whatever. I'm just saying this stuff isn't stuff that anyone EVER thought was important until gay and trans people collectively decided that everything everywhere needed to be "gay and trans-inclusive". Even a comic book about robots that don't have gender or sex organs, apparently.

It's like I said, if you don't think it's crazy then you won't think it's crazy no matter how I explain it. MOST people, though? MOST people think it's f*cking insane that there's people who even think of things like that to begin with.
