We’ve had two Peter Parker franchises, and endless incarnations of him in various forms of media.
If Miles Morales isn’t announced as MCU Spider-Man, then I would really \love\ to hear people defend it as a decision that’s ‘not about race’
Miles Morales for Spider-Man 2k15
Don’t get me wrong, I love Peter Parker and his awkwardly endearing self to bits and pieces, but I NEED ME SOME MILES MORALES AS SPIDEY ON THE BIG SCREEN.
did i ever tell you guys about how once i had to write a sonnet for my english class but couldn’t think of anything to write it about and ultimately ended up making it a complex metaphor about this hot guy at my school and his fabulous butt
Fandom:
Man it's time for a black widow movie. She has been in more movies at this point than Captian America. She needs her own.
Marvel:
How about Captian Marvel? And Black Panther? A female lead and black lead!( but you have to wait for years)
Fandom:
That's great but a black widow movie would also be great
Marvel:
How about a slice of Red Room backstory in Age of Ultron? Because nothing builds up a women's background like terror and torture!
Fandom:
But why can't she have her own movie? Spy movies are successful genere, look at James Bond, the Bourne series? If you don't want to do her background, give her her own side story, like the other avengers have? Make a movie about her and Hawkeye saving the world or something?
Marvel:
Well you see there is a very specific formula to these phases, we can just slap her movie in willy nilly.
Fandom:
*makes tons of black widow fanart and meta, creates #opentheledger, continues to vocally pursue a Black Widow movie *
Marvel:
*buys spiderman to reboot a THIRD TIME* HEY GUYS LOOK YOU WANTED A MOVIE ABOUT A SPIDER WE GOT YOU A MOVIE ABOUT A SPIDER.

Keep this one in your back pocket for the next time someone acts like an ass and then tells you they’ve been through a lot of stuff. Respectful and yet still firmly keeping respect for yourself.
so here’s a thought: who cares if food stamp recipients test positive for drugs. we still deserve food.
Oh I don’t know. I think if you test positive for drugs, you’re probably spending it on drugs rather than food. So no, they don’t deserve it, they will when they quit. I’m not putting my taxes towards that.
how the fuck are you gonna spend food stamps on drugs?? Do you know how food stamps work???
You literally CANNOT spend food stamps on drugs, what the fuck, everyone deserves food. If you think someone doesn’t deserve food because they’re an addict, get the fuck out of my face.
A fun thing to do when people accuse you of “thinking people should just have stuff HANDED TO THEM! ! !” Is to just cold be like yes. I absolutely do believe that. I think every single person should have their needs met unconditionally without ever having to prove that they “deserve” it based on arbitrary criteria of usefulness. You got me. Busted.
bottom line if a transgirl shaves her facial hair or not it doesn’t make her less valid or make her any less of a girl and if a transboy wears makeup and heels it doesnt make him any less valid. trans people are still trans regardless of how they present their appearance and nb people are still nb regardless of if they are cafab and dont bind or if theyre camab and they wear masculine clothing. dont invalidate someones identity because of the way they present themselves.
