I keep thinking how much more powerful the Spiderman origin story would be if Peter Parker was an African American kid, whose Uncle Ben was shot by police while being arrested for a minor parking infraction. There is no formal investigation, and Peter decides to put himself on the line to prevent it happening again. He tackles the white crimes that go unpunished, punishes POC criminals fairly. He is the leveler, always fighting to be without bias, to be just. To protect people like his uncle.

This not only mirrors so much of what’s happening in America, but feeds right into the complex relationship between Spiderman, the authorities and the media.

Peter Parker is a brilliant student, awkward, a nerd, but is branded a thug, a gang member, a criminal, because of his appearance. The media latch on to that and misrepresent him totally.

The police, humilitated by the fact that he refuses to work with them and often punishes cops themselves for brutalizing innocent people, or guilty people who still deserve better treatment than they get, attempt to hunt him down.

oh man. This is the shit.

The “with great power comes great responsibility” line gets such a deeper meaning within this context.

Not to mention a white nerdy boy with glasses is not the look of a social outcast or person of ridicule anymore.

Isn’t that why Miles exists?

Yes and he’s a great fucking character who people need to stop ignoring because they want to make changes to characters that are already established.

They don’t actually want representation. What they want is to replace every popular character with a black or “black-coded” character.

They don’t want representation, they want popularity.

“Wouldn’t Spider-Man be great if he was black and also a racist?”

Also, I love how Peter is supporting riots now. Real good idea, to let people vandalize property, ruin livelihoods, and commit assault. Real friendly and neighbourly. Real responsible, Spidey.

In short “how to make Peter Parker entirely about his identity instead of an actual character”

Alternatively titled “How to make Peter Parker suck ass like nearly every new Marvel ‘representation’ comic like FemThor, Angela Queen of Hell and Mockingbird”

All this is extra ironic not only due to Miles’s mere existence, but the fact that the absolute last thing in the world he wants to be is “The Black Spider-Man.”

Reblog if you think shoplifters are trash.

They aren’t “sticking it to the man”, they’re hurting underpaid workers and they deserve to be doxxed and reported to the police.

werewolf-cuddles

Okay, maybe not doxxed. That’s also illegal.

But definitely report them.

werewolfmonkie

What a haul!! And guess what ya’ll? I BOUGHT THIS SHIT WITH MONEY!! That’s right! What a concept! Cost about £6.34! And guess what! Actually paying is better than lifting! Who would’ve thought!?

So yeah Lifting is bad, paying is rad!

for-the-angry

Tbh the shoplifting fandom is so spoiled. You don’t need $100 of Sephora makeup or that brand new sweater to survive.

Most of them don’t even seem to know what the word survive means.

i dont know how many times i have to type out a post like this, i dont even know if it matters, but it makes me feel better to at least vent, regardless of who reads it or who even cares.

but you pieces of shit that steal, that walk into a store and shove shirts in your bag, that steal beauty supplies, that steal WHATEVER THE FUCK IT IS, i hope you get what’s coming to you. i hope someone robs your house. i hope someone steals your stuff. i hope someone is rude to you & makes you feel like shit because that’s literally all you are.

whether you steal because “you can” or “your broke” or “it only hurts the company, not the workers” whatever the reasoning, you are an awful person. you make retail workers cry. you make us do harmful things to ourselves because we’re stressed. you make us lose OUR JOBS. you make stores close. you make us lose out on bonuses, raises, things that help us provide for our families and live our lives. you make working in retail impossible. you ruin our day, our week, our month. you are scum. you are worthless. what if i came into your home and trashed it, stole your things? you would freak out,you’d call the police. that is what you’re doing when you come to my store (or any store) and steal merchandise. you are taking things that DONT BELONG TO YOU. you are hurting employees, not companies, i promise you that the corporate offices of a store doesnt give two flying fucks if you’re stealing. they’re just going to fire the people running that store you steal from, and if it doesnt get under control, they’ll do it again. and again. and again. until the store closes. all those people, out of jobs. all those potential jobs lost.

you shoplifters are literal scum

you take what doesnt belong to you and you act like it doesnt matter. but it does. i hope someday you go to jail where you fucking belong. maybe then you’ll realize you need to turn your fucking life around.

The ‘shoplifting haul’ tag is a fucking joke and it wouldn’t surprise me if most of them are middle class white girls doing it for ‘a rush’. Grow the fuck up and start paying for shit you twats.

say it with me kids: IF YOU CAN’T AFFORD IT YOU DON’T FUCKING GET IT.

furries-against-lifting

Alternatively: If you can’t afford it, but you really want it, then fucking save up for it. Don’t want to wait? Too fucking bad, you don’t get it then.
