    “The reason not as many people got mad at Spiderverse is not because they created a new character with his own story that isn’t tied to Peter Parker’s in any way, instead of just painting Peter Parker black and leaving everything else the same, but because the racism machine malfunctioned that day.”

    Oh my god, fuck you.

    Sure, some conservative grifters are going to get mad when they see a black person no matter what. But the fact that a lot more people, including many self-professed libs, got mad at Ariel should probably tell you that the fact that those grifters exist doesn’t mean that everyone who dislikes it when characters are race swapped is a conservative who just flies into a rage whenever they see a black person.

    I’m not sure whether you’re trolling or not, and at this point I don’t care. This conversation can serve no purpose anymore.

      If what you wrote is actually what you think I said, there is no purpose in continuing, because you are just making up shit, and ascribing it to me. No where did I say that literally everyone who didn’t like a thing was a conservative, racist. The meme shows very plain examples where the fore-front rage was the swap. While literally ignorinf whitewashing. I made my argument on that. You had to cherry pick from a minority of options to make your comment. Then You fabricated something I did not say, to claim the “win”, and leave, in righteous indignation.

      I feel like this is a thing. I feel like this might be a very well known type of bad argument. Like some sort of fallacious logic, or something. Go ahead an continue to tell yourself, whatever you need to, to claim that the race swapping anger isn’t rooted racism. Have fun.

        You don’t think everyone who gets mad at race swapping is racist, but when I point out examples of people liking one thing that was race swapped white to black but not another, and present an argument for why, and another argument regarding why no one got mad at the first three items in the meme, you don’t even address them. You simply refuse to accept any explanation besides racism and accuse me of cherry-picking.

        Is racism present? Sure. Is it the primary driving force you’re making it out to be? Fuck no.

        If all you want is to be mad, then just say that. No one’s stopping you.
