White/straight privilege is the weirdest thing.

Pretty sure OC has said he's not straight multiple times.

As for me I don't give a shit about Spiderman or Parker, but I find myself empathizing with both sides and I really just want them both to stop yelling at each other which is going to require one side to see the other's point of view.

And Nonsy is more than capable of getting HIS across.

I could not remind of that last bit harder since you seem to enjoy forgetting it.

Seriously, why in blue bloody hell would I be getting mad? I'm not. It's just random as all hell to suddenly see Marvel change the character so drastically.

The point was made multiple times in this thread, though.

I don't really care about the articles and their commenters. The latter half of that sentence, at least, is always made up of 100% completely terrible people.

I don't think I've ever called anyone in this thread a racist. I made fun of OC for defending racists and was TO'd about the double standard we hold minority characters to, but that's not the same thing.

But I post comments on online articles

And that's text.

What would be your reaction if after you've grown up with a character, they're suddenly changing him into an entirely different one?

Are you implying that I and everyone who supports this change exist in a different dimension from yours and have only come to know of Spiderman's existence quite recently?

That's dimensionist.

I do this last bit because it's an alternate universe, so I'm hoping they're willing to experiment as much as they should. Of course, my main comics experience being DC alt-universe mini-series has undoubtedly colored my perception of such things.

Actually, by your words, you seem to imply you aren't all that familiar with Spiderman.
