as a gwen fan, i'm so tired of other fans of her try to erase the fact that she has done bad stuff. the whole point of her arc is that she can't ran away from her mistakes anymore and she has to face them!! sure, some of her haters are misogynistic, but putting that label on everyone who dares to point out her mistakes is weird (especially with how quick gwen/gwiles fans were to hate on margo/flowerbyte)

Good morning! And AAAAHHH THANK YOU IM KISSING YOU ON THE MOUTH /silly /platonic

Seriously! Thank you! I don’t understand how these people can say they love a character but then refuse to acknowledge the reality of their actions and their effect on the other characters!

Like I love Miguel a lot, he’s probably my favorite character in Across the Spider-Verse. But not for one MOMENT do I excuse any of his actions, NOR do I deny how much he has affected and very likely traumatized the Spiders (especially the teen ones) that work for/with him! That’s a big reason why I love him though! He’s so fascinating! How close to rock bottom will he have to fall to realize he’s gone too far? How will he react once he does realize, how will he try to fix things?

Why does it seem that so few of the biggest Gwen Stacy fans aren’t interested into diving into character examining questions like this for her? Especially when there’s so many avenues that can be taken!!

Definitely misogyny should always be taken seriously, but when those people totally overuse the word as an accusation against people they disagree with, I just feel that doesn’t get us anywhere productive. True equality for women/feminism/whatever isn’t never critiquing women and female characters at all!

And let’s please never stop talking about the hate and racism Gwen Stacy stans/Gwiles shippers perpetuated towards Margo Kess, her fans, and Flowerbyte shippers. Like actually, I plan to never shut up about that so none of us forget, the idea of all that is just so horrid and upsetting.

Thank you so so so much for this ask! I had a lovely time answering it, and I hope you have an awesome day💪
