Adam Hughes blames us for our reactions.

yendiAdam Hughes, artist behind the infamous MJ in a Thong statue, defends himself by noting that, well, golly gee, he didn't mean to craft a ho:
"Is it really a sexist or misogynistic act if it wasn’t intended that way on the part of the people doing it?"
Well, I'm convinced. Surely, unless an artist explicitly declares that he's committing an act of sexism, it's not. Oh no. Why, I bet that some of his best friends are women!
He also does a nice job scoring bingo points, noting that lots of women and feminists tell him how great he is, and that this is the "meanest" he's ever seen this sort of reaction.
Also, media reactions are purely based on wanting to spin this into a big story for money. Why does The Man have to hate poor Adam Hughes so much?
Seriously, I had sympathy for him at the beginning of this (when the sculptors at Sideshow were supposedly to blame, and it was Sideshow that was deleting all comments complaining about it from their site)), but at this point, I've pretty much lost it.
