Not sure where to put this.

Small but full of various stupids.

Taylor Kitch, who played Gambit in X-Men: Origins (I has to ask too) was possibly caught on camera as part of a TV prank.

To find out how nice the people of Austin are the TV station sent a woman out with toilet paper trailing from her skirt to see how many people would tell her about it.

Taylor failed the test and walked on by, as did a lot of other people. Honestly, I think a lot of people would be embarrassed to go up to a stranger and tell them that.

The op (fan who posts it however), feels she needs to defend his actions by saying clean toilet paper is dirty, implying she must be crazy not to have noticed it and therefore he was justified in not telling her.

Anon 1 (not really sure how many anons there are in this thread, but maybe 5) comes in to say
Please don't defend bad behavior. He failed the nice test and it was caught on camera. A nice guy would tell her and save her the embarrassement. Just because you like an actor and his work and think he's cute doesn't mean he doesn't do stupid things.

myworksucks then pops in to say the not nice aspect was him laughing at her. Instead of telling he, he walked by and laughed? If you were her and you found out a guy did that, would that make you feel good? Obviously this won't hurt her in the long run, but this was the nice test and at this moment, he didn't pass.
Various posters say she's over reacting.

Anon 4 calls the OP out on the victim blaming behaviour.
I don't object to him not helping her, it's not a stellar character trait but some people would be embarrassed. I object to you implying that the woman is both crazy and unsanitary in an attempt to defend him.

OP responds with Take it easy, anonymous! We all know nobody's perfect. Not saying he is! Jesus. And keeping away from weirdos is MY advice - as a city gal. Lol.

Anon 4 is not pleased that sexism is laughed off and responds with - Lol doesn't make sexism okay. I am a city girl too, one who seems to be a weirdo magnet, in fact. Toilet paper does not make one appear weird. Ever. Even slightly. At most you could imply she is careless or in a rush, not a weirdo.

You are putting her down, implying things you couldn't possibly know in an attempt to make a man look better.

Can you not see how sexist your remarks are? I'm not saying you need to defend every women going, or put down every man out there. I am saying YOU should not be posting disparaging remarks about women without thinking through how truthful they are and what your motives are.

Your motive here was clearly to make TK look better at her expense. Not cool.

Though not as serious, this is very similar to victim blaming. Hopefully one day you'll see that and realise how damaging repeating these sorts of thoughtless put downs is.

The OP doesn't respond.

There's similar back and forth with all those arguing with Anon 4 but none respond to the allegations of sexism.

Mod, Bloominidiot posts a long, rambling reply defending Taylor but doesn't address the victim blaming remarks/sexism.

Fellow defenders thank her profusely but Anon 4(?) still wants to know why the sexist aspects haven't been address or removed.

Please note that there is still no definitive answer as to whether this is actually even Taylor Kitch or just someone who resembles him (and the player is so tiny, I cant say with any accuracy).
