    >I know people saw a character that I played do some really extreme things on The Boys and I don’t care if you’re in costume, I don’t care if you’re in character – it’s not OK and it’s not funny to demand those things from me in person at my booth. It’s not OK.

    >Frankly, to the person who did that repeatedly today, I made it pretty clear that it wasn’t OK and that only seemed to make this person and their friend angry. I didn’t think this needed to be explained but I was deeply uncomfortable – it was quite clear I was uncomfortable.

    >I really want to be able to do these. I really enjoy getting to meet the fans and talk about the characters that I played. Honestly, I really love it. I want to be able to do this. I’m not going to be able to do this if people are acting this way because it makes me so uncomfortable – and honestly, you should know better. Everybody else knows better. Again, I don’t know what reaction you were looking for – nobody was laughing

    >If you’re thinking about it, if you think it’s going to be funny, if you think you’re doing a bit or a moment, honestly it’s not and it’s only going to make me feel bad.

    >Please think about that before coming up to talk to me. Please think about what’s appropriate and professional and kind.
