This is unrelated but contractually, part of the deal that got Sony the film rights to Spider-Man requires Peter Parker to be a straight white male and can never drop an F bomb. Itās a meta joke of the mid-credit scenes in Homecoming and Far From Home with the F bomb being cut off (I know one was aunt May).
Isn't there literal pages worth of rules Spider-Man writers has to abide by including his sexuality? I remember he Isn't allowed to drink or smoke without wearing the symbiote but I can't 100% remember if they ever touched on who he's allowed to be attracted to
The exact phrasing of i recall correctly was āspider man cannot be portrayed as homosexual unless that alter ego has previously been portrayed as homosexualā
Im pretty sure that those rules are for Peter Parker, not Spider-Man. Those rules apply to Peter Parker Spider-Man, but not other Spider-Men. I could be completely off the mark tho
"this character can't be x because the original writers... " when talking about one of the characters with most variants ever in fiction across literally hundreds of different media and stories
That's not a different interpretation tho, that's just an established multiverse, plus the tweet not understanding what the creator actually said. Stan Lee said the original Spiderman wasn't gay because he wasn't written as such and shouldn't be made to be something he's not, which is what Kira was referring to. But, as you say, they are multiple Spidermen, and there are gay ones amongst them.
Moreso when most media like that nowadays is a multiverse, so technically speaking Petra Parker breaks shite of the canon, as it can be used as a justification, with no issue whatsoever, "yeah, this continuity belongs in an universe outside of the official ones"
There's a difference between writing a different version of spider-man as gay than making original 616 spider man suddenly change sexuality. Spider-Man is honestly the best example of how you could write a gay Peter Parker who is just in a different timeline and not have to retcon anything or mess it up.
Stan Lee specifically said that a gay Spider-Man needs to be a new character created specifically to be a gay Spider-Man not just making Peter Queer. Otherwise it would just be lazy representation just to slap a gay label on a preexisting character instead of building a character to be gay and having them deal with issues unique to gay people
The idea is that you can envision anybody under the mask, not that any alternate characterization can be applied to the predefined Peter Parker character without scrutiny
Seriously though, look up the info on golf courses near you. There is a very high chance that you payed for its construction, whether you use it or not.
Well, if you stop feeding your slave labour force, they starve to death and can no longer work for you. You need to give your captives at least a little bit of food. Even the Nazis knew that.
The kids can leave and don't benefit rich capitalists all that much.
Even with the most soulless point of view, it still makes sense to feed the inmates low quality food.
I hate these fucking non sequitors. You don't need to justify feeding children by comparing it to prisoners, you don't need to frame feeding prisoners (which we *barely* do) as somehow bad.
Insane tweet and the refusal to let Kira off the hook for that aside(though Kira should never be let off the hook for that), no child should be hungry at school. Especially since school seems to cost a pretty penny and the children are legally required to go to school. Itās the least they could do with those circumstances.
Bonus points for the stupidity of false dichotomy; anybody who is swayed by the argument ājail bad, children goodā is almost 100% certainly a part of the political will that causes such things as kids not being fed to start with.
Itās funny how one of the biggest criticisms Iāve been seeing is he post āobviousā stuff i.e no shit we should feed children
But at the same 90% of Reddit is like this. I could literally virtue signal and make a post about how the Cornell 7 situation is fucked and Iāll get thousands of likes and comments.
I don't think they were countering as much as they were making a joke about The Joke. Honestly anything that brings more attention to the original photo š¤·š»āāļøš¤·š»āāļø bc yes we should be giving kids free meals at school
kira is a money farming operation that exists to tweet shit that will go viral and make the person who runs the account money off paying for twitter, ted nivison talked about it in this video i believe. i donāt take anything that account says seriously or to represent what the person who makes it actually believes
The joke was "what if babies drank milk from dudes cocks" like you can belittle it all you want but I think it's pretty understandable for people to be upset still
I read it five minutes ago and Iām not upset. It seems so chronically online to still be harping on that years later. Itās an obviously absurd joke that didnāt work, why give it any air? Thereās so much actual heinous shit on twitter this doesnāt even register
I don't think it's that people care, i think it's just people being equally as funny by constantly joking about it like this guy. Another example that certain fellow with a cylinder conundrum.
Fun fact! Some prisons do charge inmates rent for staying there, and have them work jobs for less than minimum wage to pay it. Isnāt our prison industrial complex so great? Itās like slavery butā¦ no wait itās just slavery
