As a side job I help my friend and his wife's business (they have a store that sells vintage toys and comic books) at small conventions in the area. We were selling some Spider-Man action figures and this little hispanic girl came up and played with spider-man for a while before her mom bought it for her. I guess I'm confused because I thought that she shouldn't be playing with Spider-man since he doesn't "represent her". Maybe the shill websites have been wrong about everything!!!!

There was a thread here a while back about some dude who considered himself "trans Korean" and was dying his skin and getting penis size reduction surgery. That was somehow racist but if he had just chopped it off instead and donned a wig and dress he would have been considered stunning and brave.
I honestly don't understand why saying that you are trans racial is offensive. What if you are a white kid and grew up in Japan and identified as Japanese? Sounds more logical than a man who says he is a woman. Or if a black person who has a few percentage points of Scandinavian DNA says he is Scandinavian that would make more sense than a man saying he is a woman.
the idea of transracial people threaten too many of the woke grifts for them to allow them to exist.
Had a buddy in the Army who hated blacks, grew up as 1 of only 4 black families in a small town in Idaho. He reminded me of Carleton from the fresh prince.
'you'll never be nihonjin'
In case someone lurking wants to know about the trans-Korean guy.
Uh oh, guys, my nephew is trans-dinosaur.
BECAUSE INSIDE VERY GOOK THERE IS AN AMERICAN TRYING TO GET OUT.
It's a hardball world, son. We gotta try keep our heads until this peace craze blows over.
Ha! I didn't think of that. In all honesty I had given up on going to conventions. I used to love them but I never thought wokeness would creep into them (female only/black only/hispanic only tables for one thing). The small conventions are really fun though and there are some true fans. Also made me happy to see so many people (even younger ones) wanted older comics.
The nerd hobbies were never in favor of excluding people who were genuinely interested in the hobby. The only wanted to gatekeep the busy bodies who shit the place up and tell original inhabitants how to behave (while not living up to their own standards of course). Their current state is a testament to their failure to gate keep those types.
Absolutely. Every time I hear "we need more --------- in the hobby" I'm like you already have them in the hobby!!! But I guess the fact that certain nerd hobbies have a large number of white males that is enough for them to have a fit.
They mean “more radical leftism”.
There has been women in nerd hobbies for ages, far longer than the feminists were pushing for it, they don't care about representation. All they and we all care about is good characters, stories, engaging content. I dont want people in my hobby who want to dumb it down.
I draw on occasion, my art is nothing to write home about but I am not going about making other people lower their standards to make my enjoyment better, wouldn't even get any better as there is nothing engaging in it any more.
You answered the question yourself... little Mexican girl... bro Spiderman is pretty much a staple in modern Mexican culture. How Americans idolized Superman, Mexicans idolize Spiderman.
I get that. I was being sarcastic since the entertainment companies go on and on about representation
My favorite figures in kindergarten were turtles and frogs. Where do I even start complaining about representation there?
I loved the turtles. At that convention they were there as guests to get photos with.
She's trans.
I don't know what's so surprising. Clearly a case of transgenderacial kid. She's a white boy, just buy her some striped polo shirts and call it a day.
Isn't Spiderman a mulatto kid now?
Miles Morales is the one from a different universe. Peter Parker is always the original
So they just created additional diverse Spidermyn instead of replacing the white guy entirely.
Peter Parker is Spiderman, miles morales is miles morales
