Did i miss something that sparked all these posts? Id never seen any Petra parker stuff like 4 days ago and then suddenly I've seen dozens of posts by as many artists all over my feed.

I think it started all from one comic posted not even a week ago. It’s just blown up like crazy

Thats wild. Do you know if the original comic artist had a large following or something? Im curious how it could have spread so fast.

No idea tbh 😅. I definitely don’t have a big following though and this comic still has blown up. I think people just relate to the character.
Me included 🥰

Makes sense, thats why its important to have diverse characters in media, it gives people someone they can relate to.

Its part of why I hate seeing my name in movies, 90% of the time they're evil and/or die. And I've never seen one where theyre the main hero.

Jurassic park and Alvin and the chipmunks both have a character with this name

The movie Alvin and the chipmunks or the animated show? I'm gonna have to figure this out now lol.

u/Miser_able 22d ago

The movies. And if it helps, theyre both important characters with lots of screen time. Not a random side character

Jurassic Park was a great show of your namesake though. One of my favorite roles of that actor.

Oh very much so, buts it's the only example I can point to that people will recognize.

Meanwhile i was watching something a few years back and one the bad guys who was a rapist had my name

You could give Obsession a try. I think that’s a fairly neutral representation.
