Just because I made one rape joke in a cartoon in 2012 doesn\u2019t mean I think we should just go around raping people and similarly I think it\u2019s bullcherry that some people want me to shut up now about Roe v. Wade because it compassion doesn\u2019t match the persona I built. Personas are fake & the fact that so many people take that cherry seriously is the reason I toned it all down. This is real & scary, so please mango off if you think I shouldn\u2019t be taking it seriously."}
