Misspoke?
Yes, very often.

Misspoke, using bigoted dog whistles?
No

I looked up Hudson Thames' age because idk anything about him. Honestly if he was a teenager I would maybe give him soooooome slack because teens sometimes hear adults say stupid shit and emulate them.

But no, this bitch is 30.

That was the first thing I did (Google him) when the first story was posted here.

I was like: "He is 30 and making these statements? I thought he was 16!"

Not that it would excuse it, but he sounds dumb as hell.

Googling him was fascinating. I did not know he was a nepo who is step-related to the Fishers and the Stevens.

Being a nepobaby explains his name.

that's why I stopped reading spider-man comics. I love it so much but everyone involved in any spider-man media misunderstands it

[maryjanewatson]

i mean, marvel themselves misunderstand it, what with trying to make peter an eternal bachelor and dissolving his marriage with mj because "it wasn't relatable."

[flyingpigs_live]

We know exactly what he meant, and it wasn't a 'misspeak."

[genbu_no_miko24]

At my nicest interpretation I figured if he meant that the writing would be weak and just made to appeal to the younger gen in a "how do you do fellow kids" type of way which fair enough.

But given the current timeframe it could that dogwhistling everyone felt. Initially I thought he was some teen and I might've cut some slack but he's actually 30 so bye loool!!
