    I’m good. Not sure why the internet suddenly has this fetish for the moment, but they come and go.

        Of course. Someone rolls their eyes at the sudden trans spiderman memery and so they must be a terrible person. How exhausting.

          I’m not sure why you felt the need to comment at all now that you mention it, but moreso I take issue with calling it a “fetish,” just because a character is imagined with a different identity.

            I used the word fetish because it’s an accurate use of the word. Like many words fetish has multiple meanings. In this instance trans Spiderman thing is a fixation on both the character and it’s gender.

              That’s still not a fetish in any sense of the word. It’s literally just (SFW) fanart and comics imagining funny or relatable scenes. A lot of it is just imagining J Jonah Jameson reacting to it.

              Calling it a fetish says way more about you than anything else. Trans people existing is not a fetish.

                You don’t seem to understand that fetish and sexual fetish are different things. One definition of a fetish is a fixation. I tried to explain that and instead of reading or looking up the definition of the word for yourself you revert back to the tribalism and down voting.

                  No, I understand that. It’s still not a fetish in that sense either. It’s literally just a fanart trend. You could call any art trend a “fetish” by that standard. Just don’t expect to have any friends afterwards if you start going around talking about “Picasso’s cubism fetish” or whatnot. Literally no one talks like that.

                  In any case you’re just trying to hide behind that excuse after the fact. The meaning was obvious in the context.

                    The words people use tend to vary a great deal depending on your acquaintances and the local culture. Many people would use the same word, for the same simple reason. Because the word fits.

                    No, I’m not trying to hide behind anything. You’re stuck in your narrow world view where everyone who doesn’t cite your expected manifesto must be a bad person. It taints how you see everything. Hopefully you grow out of that.
