Hello there!

apparently stan lee finally died of shitty old bitch disease and i better not see anyone acting like he was anything more than a sack of shit who sexually harassed multiple women and injected racism into marvel comics for decades

You don’t have to defend the second bit. Stan Lee said he’d be fine if Spider Man was originally Black, Hispanic, Indian, or anything. He just didn’t want an already established character to change their identity. He said if you want a character that’s different, just make a different character, which is exactly what happened.

Peter Parker never had to be the only Spider.

Need I remind people Stanley Lieber, aka Stan Lee, was Jewish, co-created Black Panther, was critical of Rob Liefeld’s aggressive hyper-masculinity, and was a huge proponent of introducing new, more diverse characters while paying respect to the others.  He also worked openly with Japanese studios in creating shows and stories over the years.
