No more trash talking supervillains because it could hurt the reader or is just mean. This is getting so stupid, this is like those parents wrapping their whole house in bubble wrap so the baby can not hurt itself. Everything will be just mopey grey boring useless shit. Body positive superheroes talking about food and maybe 2 pages they will fight some evil white guy.

What they don’t seem to realize is how vulnerable this makes people to bullying. If you’re protected for every possible thing that might make you feel the least bit bad, the first jerk that comes along is going to crush you.

Especially when it comes to being fat. It’s never great to make fun of someone because they’re fat.... but if you’re fat, you’re fat. Expecting everyone to tiptoe around the fact your obese is bullshit.

yes all the kids in the audience who have husbands felt really bad.

im hesitant to even use the word snowflakes here because this is so fragile it's more like water vapour than a liquid or solid

In the scene, Bone Saw goes to grapple Peter for the first time and Peter jumps up, clings to the side of the cage, and asks, "That's a cute outfit, did your husband give it to you?"

This would imply that Bone Saw would be less masculine if he were gay.

EDIT: Dammit Phonepunk - you figured it out before I could explain! lol

let's note that Bonesaw can call him "freakshow" on first sight and that's apparently totally fine with this person.

look, I'm like 20+ lbs overweight for my height since lord knows how long and I never feel that good about it. but I don't mind if people call me fat. hell, I would call myself fat from time to time. you either accept the fact that you're fat and live with people stating the facts, or do something about it and lose those weight. I seriously feel that making being fat a normal thing is one of the worse aspect of this society.

My problem isn't that there is fat shaming in this world. My problem is that there isn't enough people getting fat shamed in this world.

It's also not difficult to not be fat. Exercise is great and if feels really good to be healthy. Take this from a former fat guy. Fat shaming worked for me.

Spider-Man's little quips are supposed to keep his enemies wound up. It prevents them from killing him. If being called fat irritates the Kingpin, that's his angle. It has nothing to do with Parker's actual feelings regarding obesity. A central theme of all incarnations of Spidey is being bullied in high school, so he knows the distinction.

But I'm certain Spidey's problematic fat shaming is why his books are moving a *whopping* 50k per month.

What about making it less stressful for the people who have to share a workspace with these lard buckets? I used to work in an office with a morbidly obese person and he stunk to high heaven.

I work with some really big units and I shit you not every single day they spend hours talking about food and where they are going to eat out for lunch (spoiler: it's Wendy's everyday)

What about the fact that he is a villain and wants the worst for people? Lol
Whats next? No shaming The Joker because guys with problems like him would be offended? Oh great, forget the murdering and stabbing people part, the important is the readers feelings.

Seriously, this generation is a mistake.

.... We should be shaming fat people. their choises are a major drag on society, health care and themselves. Just like we should shame addicts, abusers, and such. Hopefully seeing Spiderman mock a fatass will make them think "oh, im fat, this isnt a good look or good for me, maybe i should do something about it"

THEN DON'T BE FUCKING OVERWEIGHT. JESUS.

Being fat isn't good and it shouldn't be socially acceptable to be a morbidly obese, mash potato style gelatinous blob, or so thin that you make skeletor look obese.

why has no one pointed out the problematic nature of KINGpin. are they trying to promote a system of colonialist monarchy?

this guy is really going to die on the hill of stanning a literal KING.

MONARCHIST!!!

You would think The Kingpin would be a positive portrayal of larger people since a key trope was that superheroes kept misjudging him based on appearances when he's actually heavily muscled. He was able to crush Spiderman with his physical strength and outright bodied Daredevil plus he's also a cerebral villain running an expansive criminal empire.

All fatty has to do is lose a lil more hair and find an XXXXL white suit and he has the perfect Kingpin cosplay.
 
If you get offended by banter between imaginary characters that is on you. Stop seeing yourself in characters. Do you think ugly people get triggered by good looking people in movies and TV shows? Here you are looking as ugly as sin while these gorgeous people are being paraded around on TV.

How did this people survive high school?
imo by finding someone else and bullying them publicly. SJWs tend to be the most brutal and abusive of bullies. all this "incels" this and "lol virgins" that only reminds me of the exact language used by jock bullies in high school who would pick on those who didn't win the genetic lottery. "you live with your mother" and "unfuckable" is just bog standard toxic heteronormative 80s frat culture schtick. we have people proclaiming to "fight the patriarchy" by essentially acting like Donald Trump at a kegger in 1974.

the thing about Toxic Masculinity or the Patriarchy or whatever is that it doesn't just hurt women, it hurts men as well. this is why it's toxic, it's bad for everyone. so we see SJWs engage in the same old "toxic behavior" that they decry: deadnaming, kink shaming, ageism, ableism, gender bigotry, gendered slurs, racial slurs, etc.

this is because even though they think they are feminists, they are still men, so the feminism is tainted. Male Feminism is inherently and supra-toxic form of the ideology, and with intersectionality (LGBTQ+) they have physically infiltrated traditionally women-dominated feminist spaces.

the end result is a corporate feminism that is toxic, run by men lashing out at other men, doing aggressive performative threats of violence ("punch a nazi") and sexual dominance ("TLOU2 haters don't get laid"), perpetuating the very stereotype of a bad man in the misguided name of feminism. then when Male Feminists aren't explicitly trying to Do Feminism (which they do poorly, look at these posts, which are fully done in that spirit), they are gatekeeping IPs in an act of territorialism that is largely fueled by self doubt and insecurities. because deep down, since they kinda art feminist in some way, they secretly realize how shitty they are doing at it, on top of how bad they are at coming up with any ideas. they spend so much time trying to galaxy brain engineer the universe that they don't know how to tell a story, and they hate this, because they idolize people that do. so they hate those old creators, they dismantle the creations trying to Frankenstein their lost youth back to life, the self hatred is thus projected outward, and the lashing out ritual continues.

on and on into infinity, amen.
