So, um.. is this considered canon?

I tell ya, the things you stumble across.

So you think you know Spider-Man, right? How'd he get his powers? OK, everyone knows that. What's Venom's real name? OK, good. Name all the Sinister Six. OK, you've passed.

But I bet you've never heard of Steven Westcott, AKA Skip... the boy who MOLESTED Peter Parker? No, I'd never heard of that either.

If this were actual canon though, Skip would have to turn into a villain somehow. Seems Pete can't have friends who don't get affected and turn into super criminals. The Abuser? Pedoman? The Incredible Molesting Man? Tell me this guy wouldn't shift some comics.

Maybe I don't want to have Peter Parker's life after all. That is some pretty fucked up shit for a throwaway line.

So, wait.. your parents are dead, your uncle gets killed because of you, you face off against the most frightening, diabolical villains on earth, you once grew four extra arms, your girlfriend is murdered in front of your eyes, you get buried alive by Kraven the Hunter.. all of this you'd be cool with? But having some silver haired child molester try it on (or did he succeed?) is when you finally say "enough?"

You're just WEIRD, Trashy!

That pretty much sums it up.
