white actors: dropped out of school to pursue acting, told a joke once, got discovered and starred in a blockbuster
actors of colour: attended tisch julliard rada, studied acting for years, did othello, joined a theatre “for people of their ethnicity”, did hamlet, auditioned for everything, did macbeth, won prestigious theatre award that no one cares about, got their big break delivering one line in a blockbuster
Get harassed on social media for being cast in that block buster
It’s amazing how there is a generation of people who hate Stan Lee for ???
The man, even in his early years denounced racism as a special type of evil that can’t be defeated with a bullet.
Marvel was the first mainstream comic to show a gay marriage.
And the accusations of him sexually harassing a nurse were false. and proven to be false.
The man has denounced racism and promoted tolerance and diversity for years, much more than what most people who age would have ever dared consider. Hell, he created Black Panther, the first black comic hero.
But all because the man didn’t want to make Peter Parker black and bisexual he obviously is a racist and homophobe… Despite…
Luke Cage
Falcon
Storm
Spider Girl (Corazon)
Miles Morales
Moonstar
Karma
Black Panther
Shuri
Kimura
Lady Deathstrike
Echo
Jubilee
Monet St. Croix
Hulkling
America Chavez
Northstar and hosting the first gay marriage depicted in mainstream comics IN 1992 WAY BEFORE GAY MARRIAGE WAS EVEN LEGALIZED
Valkyrie
Wiccian and many others…
But y’all asses over here fucking ignoring the shit out of them like the only thing Stan Lee and Marvel ever made was Spiderman and Peter Parker all because the man doesn’t think that you should redefine established or preexisting characters. Why?
Because he believed in creating NEW characters, new characters who had their OWN personalities, who had their OWN stories, who had their OWN fans
He wanted to make new things, not redefine what already exists. He wanted to make NEW characters and stories that people could connect to. NEW characters who could stand on their own as opposed to just being “This character but now xyz.”
He wanted characters who had their own life and vibrancy to them.
Yet y’all asses fucking mad he didn’t make Peter Parker black while you ignoring the fuck out of Miles Morales. Yet y’all asses are mad he didn’t make Peter Parker bi or gay while ignoring the fact that the Marvel comic version of Deadpool and Loki are both bisexual.
Y’all fucking ignoring the POC and LGBT+ characters that exist in the Marvel universe all because you wanna be like ~~uwu 20gayteen~~
Until y’all asses start recognizing POC and LGBT+ characters THAT ALREADY EXIST you don’t get to say shit about anything else being gay.
DON’T SIT THERE AND IGNORE CANON LGBT AND POC CHARACTERS AND THEN ACT LIKE STAN LEE WAS A RACIST OR HOMOPHOBIC BIGOT
Fucking exactly. Fucks who hate just to hate and purposely ignore facts piss me the fuck off. If you do that shit fuck you.
Thank you for this. I’ve been really distressed about the discourse saying he was racist/homophobic/sexually harassed people, and I haven’t had the energy to do more of my own research, so I appreciate someone with a broader knowledge sharing this information.
Hot concept: Tieflings who are married don’t wear rings on their fingers. I imagine many anti-tief religions are like ‘NO YOU CANT DO THAT MEH MEH MEEEHH’ So they wear their marriage bands elsewhere.
They are custom fitted with a band around one of their horns so their beloved is ‘always on their mind.’ There’s rarely precious jewels embedded-which makes it strange to see very elaborately dressed tieflings wear something that looks so plain-it’s because their beloved is suppose to be the jewel. The bands are usually kept very well cleaned and polished because a neglected looking band is sort of a ‘nudge nudge-that guy doesn’t care much about his s/o.’ kind of thing.
Simple patterns are often very acceptable or engraved names.
Poly tieflings will often have a band on each horn and are ornately engraved to symbolize their partners.
Tieflings who are widowed and remarry keep the bands on because removing it would be a sign of not thinking about their dearly departed anymore and would be an insult to the spirits.
Tieflings who divorce usually have to seek out a Black Smith to get these removed. And then proceed to publically throw the band at their Ex-which could hurt because it would be a fairly big piece of metal.
Horrifyingly enough, forced ‘divorce’ occurs in some regions and if the band can’t be removed because it takes a professional to remove it, people who just result to sawing off the horn itself-which creates the polite protocol in tiefling social culture to not ask about horns if missing.
Some Tieflings who have to hide their marriages in anti tiefling areas that are aware of the marriage practices get a bit more creative and pierce their nose with a ring finger sized band while their lover if non tiefling can wear the ring more subtley on their hand.

you could curse a police officer out, kick their car, throw a temper tantrum and throw trash. and that still doesnt mean they get to kill you. what the fuck is wrong with yall? why do you think police get some special license to kill when they get disrespected?
if they cant do their job without murdering unarmed people, they dont deserve their badge, or anyones respect.
Except it isn’t always that simple.
Except it literally is. I deal with verbal and emotional abuse daily at my job. I get disrespected daily. I’ve had customers throw things at me. Not one of those situations have I ever felt the need to pull a gun on them and shoot them. In fact, I am expected to tolerate that kind of abuse with a smile and often times those people get rewarded for their behavior.
If a cop can’t deal with being disrespected without murdering people then they don’t need to be a fucking cop.
