my comment wasn't so much directed at Torvald (I do get that he is young and has had certain prejudiced views presented to him as facts growing up. Though you know, not being able to question that when it comes to your BEST FRIEND...) so much as Alex being awesome....
like, a lot of people aren't necessarily bigoted/homophobic/racist/sexist etc, and yet, when you hear someone say something questionable...especially when it is someone you like/have feelings for...sometimes, its easier to just let it 'slide', decide its not worth it to get into it. but the fact that she was clearly, umabigously sending the message of NO, THAT IS NOT AN OK THING TO SAY...lol, maybe i'm projecting because I'm never that assertive with people, but yeah, IMO she is badass. And obviously could have handled it better, but yeah, they are all young, and the whole Max thing, obviously...
