Why are people on twitter saying SpiderGwen is probably a guy?


Are there any hints that she's really a he, or is it wishful thinking?

reply

Because it's Twitter.

Easy answer, lol.

Twitter has helped what society could be

Because they are all crazy. That's why.

I say go ahead and make Gwen into a Transwoman and Make Miles flamingly gay. And make them both as obnoxious as possible. So i don't have to watch overrated movies about them. Not to mention making Peter Parker Dead Girlfriend into Miles love interest is creepy as hell. Sounds like a Zombie movie.

It supposedly is that her character arc is allegory for being trans (her dad struggling to accept her identity.) It says ‘Protect trans kids’ in her room, the colours in her universe are colours of the trans flag and her dad has the trans flag on his uniform.

I’ve seen the film twice and the allegory is definitely there even though I don’t think she is trans. Twitter are going nuts about it though of course as they do.

reply

I've not seen the film but would it really change anything if she were really a guy?

reply

It clearly changes things for the activists, otherwise they wouldn't be pushing it so hard. For us fans? The ones who've known her since the 60s? Her name is Gwen Stacy, she's a biological woman, she's blonde, and she's straight.

Don't change any of that, otherwise what's the point in having her at all? It'd just be a different character, like what they did with Jessica Drew. That black pregnant woman with the stereotypical afro isn't Jessica. She could've - and should've - just been an original black Spider-Woman.

reply

Are you an idiot? Yes it would ruin the character if she was some trans weirdo and sex fiend. In the comics she isn’t a pervert.

reply

Don't believe everything on internet. For example, I don't believe a word you said, not without a link.

reply

she can metaphor for her being Trans also her coming out as Spider-Gwen to her father for that please accept it also she does exhibit Masculine Traits hairstyle, Lowering her voice and Sneakers Hailee Steinfeld supports this i dont see how this is a bad thing.

Banned now in being shown in the middle east because of all the gay stuff in it.

It's crazy to think that the UAE is the voice of reason.
