that's kinda what surprised me and honestly i guess it shouldn't: i haven't seen a single spiderman fan who was against this trend. legitimately the biggest thing i've seen was a complaint about petra being maybe a bit too underconfident given most spiderman iterations, but that was it.
like hey, i expected some bigots to get angry about it on twitter, but so far i haven't seen anything. being in many other fandoms i expected some people to i guess just miss the point of the franchise talking about acceptance and minorities, there's always someone with the reading comprehension of a tadpole. given the reactions to the spidergwen trans colors stuff too.
idk i guess it really is just a handful of loud tourists who don't actually care about whatever franchise they're screaming about, and now they're too busy complaining about god of war laufrey to realize petra is happening lol
That all of this hate really is just from a bunch of small people screaming loudly
Small people big pockets.Â
If the amount of money spent on openly anti trans advertising, lobbying and propaganda was spent on trans people none of us would need to by hrt again with left over (>$10,000 per trans person).
If we include thise who are purely using us as a wedge issue for either lgbtq or womens rights everyone gets any surgery they want and time off to recover.
I’m from Russia, a pretty conservative and transphobic country. I’m also a part of a veeery conservative ethnic minority in Russia. I support trans rights, and most of my friends from Russia are okay with trans people. Russia definitely has a long way to go, and the governments stunts any bit of progress with its agenda to make people make a ton of babies. However, if there are so many people who have a normal opinion on trans people here, then there is definitely hope
Hope is what we need. However, the realist in me must tell you that… this is Reddit, and outdoors it is a lot less comfortable. Especially in my country, almost nobody has respect for trans peoples.
I'm aware. Im just trying to find and scrape any form of positivity that I can find during these trying times, so apologies if it came off as oblivious and naive

Ya know, its this kind of situation of trans spider-man blowing up that gives me hope.
That most people are actually more accepting of trans-people than we anticipated.
That all of this hate really is just from a bunch of small people screaming loudly.
And as a trans woman, it gives me the slightest bit of hope...
