I took it as one of those things you say without thinking when people are hassling you.
Pretty much that. Maybe it's an age thing, maybe it's because I automatically try to see something from all possible sides, or maybe I'm just too apathetic, but I simply can't get that upset over one comment that wasn't even some horrible slur and doesn't come from someone with a horrible history of sexism and misogyny in his writing, especially given the circumstances. Like you said, people aren't perfect.
And yeah, that fic makes one feel dirty. And all that but-I'm-doing-it-for-gay-rights!-and-education! makes it even worse.
