Tom, I think it's distasteful and quite offensive to have Spider-Ock's new girlfriend being a ... well, midget. It's out of the norm for comic book standards. When you look at superheroes they're always buffed and perfectly handsome and superheroines have always amazing curves. It's not sexism, as many think it is, but idealization of the human body. That applies for the media as well. Coming up as a midget as a characters current girlfriend is to invent the wheel new feels really cheap.

There’s no way for me to couch this: dude, you have a problem. At Marvel, we believe in basic human decency and the right of every sort of person to have representation in our world—the same world that we all live in. The one thing that we cannot abide is bigotry of any stripe.
