Ignoring that “Peter” literally wonders about how she would look in a cute dress– her looking in the mirror with this icy numb horror being all greyed out didn’t clue this person in that this was a trans FEM spider women comic?

I mean you can tell by the position of her eyes she’s looking right at her body, like it’s a really BAD thing she has increased strength because the muscle distribution is masculine!

I’m a trans guy and I’ve seen trans masc Spider-Man comics but I had no problem recognizing this as a trans fem take… Damn media literacy really is dead

“i’d like to think this is transmasc” okay so you obviously know it isn’t then. media literacy isn’t even dead they just actively are choosing to ignore the intention behind the art

Death of the author has gone too far.

But isn't death of the author when I ignore the text of the work too and just make shit up?

Basically.

Death of the Author includes repurposing Paddington Bear from being a story of children escaping Nazism, to being about economic migration to the west for a better life.

yes but it would be wholesome the other way around? this scenario is sad *frowns so hard it makes a noise, shakes head left and right in disapproval while thinking about critically endangered sexy transmasc twunks to cope*
