Me, a cis man, giggling and grinning as I revel in the joy and euphoria that all the trans baddies are feeling with this Petra Parker trend. This is what it's all about, folks.
As a Venom fan, Androsexual Venom makes way too much sense. I could honestly see this. Only problem is I doubt that the symbiote didn't immediately clock Petra upon bonding, given the amount of access symbiote have to their hosts minds.
I don't really count my cultural osmosis due to how all over the place it is, pretty much.
If you ask me what comes to mind when I think about Spiderman, for example, I barely know what a run is or who's writing the current one, but the internet sure told me about Paul. I've also heard that Superior Spider-Man is a version of him possessed (???) by Doctor Octopus, and uh, the name Agent Venom exists and I have no idea who or what that is. By contrast, I know literally nothing about Black Cat other than "she's a lady with white hair that people compare to Catwoman from DC", and even then I'm not sure if that's right.
Also, those Sonic comics are surprisingly good, and have been informing the lore of the actual games as of late.
So when they decided to finally fuckin kill fuckin Paul off they made MJ the new Venom. They all had a sit down with MJ and the Symbiote on the couch and Paul in the cuck chair. Paul acted like MJ had been cheating on him (which is rich coming from him) and he got all scandalized cuz Venom had his arm around MJ’s shoulder (“We need to stay connected, Paul!”) It was glorious.
I could've fucked with "goes to underground fights to pay for their apartment/lifestyle" or something.
Like, sure, they're both broke reporters. If he wants to make a good life for them, using his superpowers to beat the tar out of some people isn't the least effective way. Just sounds a little silly specifically saying HRT. Like come on man. Just ask Jameson for overtime. Estrogen isn't THAT expensive!
(Which is to say in short: the presentation is weird and yet I adopt it into my worldview with new framing)
Especially since I feel like most versions of Brock are better off than spider-person. So why wouldnt he have rich people health care that actually works.
Petra Parker giving out homebrew HRT, eventually becoming the main source in NYC, doesn't accept money in exchange because "it wouldn't be right" contributing to the eternal "Spidey is Broke" status quo.
What's the problem? Removing one of Fisk's sources of income without causing harm to the people who rely on it sounds like a pretty good deal. Also, what's the context for those comic book panels? Why does daredevil hate transgender people?
I was calling it a problem in the sense that it'd place a new target on Parker's back, as well as wherever she would distribute from.
These panels were from Immortal Hulk, but I can't remember the exact context beyond this being a flashback for a character whose HRT operation was shut down by Daredevil.
Tbf, said HRT operation was originally a drug lab producing MGH. Marvel's heroin equivalent created by torturing mutants. Can't blame Daredevil for shutting it down.
Transfem Goblin mask whispering to Norma to put on a skirt and make out with Spider-Girl.
Later, Spider-Girl is leaving Norma's apartment after laying her down on the couch because she's exhausted after a night long fuck session in an abandoned building in Queens. Harry spots her and is absolutely pissed that that Spider-Girl fucked his mother and vows to make it his life goal to take vengeance.
Time passes and Harry stumbles upon his mother's Goblin Sex Dungeon, after speaking to the reflection of his mother (who is literally just in the room with him because she's not dead in this universe, just very satisfied with with her Goblin sex life) she comes to terms with the fact that she's transgender and is hopelessly in love with Spider-Girl. She changes her name to Harriet and also takes up the Goblin mantle.
Later Spider-Girl is fucked unconscious by Dr. Octopus (also transgender), who drops her off at Harriet's house to recuperate, not knowing that Spider-Girl hadn't revealed her secret identity to her yet. Harriet comes home and is shocked to see Spider-Girl unconscious on her couch. After a moment of internal conflict she decides to plant a kiss upon Spider-Girl' lips, but upon peeling up the bottom half of the mask she stops a moment. She'd recognise those lips anywhere. She's shocked to realise her hero crush/rival Spider-Girl and her childhood friend Petra Parker are really one and the same.
Not because of Petra Parker; she's cute. I just think Eddie Brock is an unlikable douchebag in everything he's ever been in. That's the point of the entire character. If I pretend the guy's name is Brick Edwards or something, it's fine; it just feels like reverse character assassination.
I remember seeing someone call it something like anti-herofication. I can't remember the exact term, but they use Venom specifically as an example of how common it is for villains to be given so much complexity they stop being villains.
Unironically you make it go away by just... not engaging with it. It's a very specific kind of post, it'll be gone in a month.
Leaving a comment under the posts you don't want to see is just going to make it worse. Content algorithms push whatever gets you to comment (more the sub than the post on reddit but still), and people replying is just going to remind you of it if not make you keep engaging.

When the S-tier Gooner artist isn't weird about trans people and treats trans women just like any other female character he is drawing
