This happens every time theres a black character in a game, and people think they are being so slick with their comments, although some go the obvious route and complain about "wokeness" lol.

The Jacqui hate on the MK11 board was unreal. Very thinly veiled racism. I remember one post went like this "No one hates Jacqui because she's black. We hate her because she's a bad character." Literally two posts later, someone said something like "I hate Jacqui because she has that sassy, black women attitude." The next post from a different user after that was something like "Jacqui is stereotypical ghetto trash." Jacqui is neither sassy nor ghetto. In fact, Cassie Cage was way sassier than her.

He has a history of that stuff. He was posting on the Starfield board about how the game spawns too many black and asian NPCs and then going on and on, asking people if "diversity just means no white people". He loses the benefit of any doubt.

Eh one of those is just saying Miles needs a separate identity from Peter beyond "Spiderman" and that they missed an opportunity for maybe another cool character rather than a carbon copy. He even says he doesn't mind the character and Miles is deserving of his own spin off.

To lump this in as some type of racist thread is a pretty far reach to me.

I think people asking Miles to not be called Spider-man is missing the point tbh. Across the Spider-Verse and the Miles Morales very much stress the point that he is Spider-man and not just a side kick.

The 'You don't deserve it' people don't seem to be aware that this is very much a meta-narrative for his character at this point.

It's kinda tricky to do that when Miles was introduced as the NEXT Spider-Man after Peter died in the Ultimate universe

But years after that more media has had them co-existing with each other so Miles was an established hero by this point still carrying the mantle

In his universe, which obviously wouldnt apply to 616s or especially the current games. Even then its not a Wally west vs Barry Allen debacle where the former had been an active hero in the main universe for as long as Barry was by the time he came back.

The only scenario Miles retaining the name makes sense is one where Peter is dead. Which is something that obviously never going to last, even in the ultimate universe.

Eh I don't think "Actually he's only Spider-man if Peter is dead so if he isn't he should be called something else" is all that good. It ruins the point that he's a proper Spider-man.

I think it's fine though. Peter considers him Spider-man. So he is. Peter doesn't seem like someone who thinks there can be only one Spider-man.

yea, it's really disappointing wanting to discuss parts of the game, or seeing legitimate engagement between players/people who are interested in playing, and coming across stuff like that.

as far as bigots go, this might be this year's TLoU2 - not on big as a scale, since neither protagonist falls under the LGBTQ+ umbrella, or that one of them kills the other, but because of how Miles is black and how progressive (in relation to some other games) some of the content is.

Yep, it was said in another thread that those who hate diversity yet can't figure out a way to express that without sounding like a bigot now refer to it as "woke".

It's a big reason I don't take any complaints about "wokeness" seriously, because unless you're talking about the actual usage of in regards to being socially aware of where you are and how the political climate affects you (to be most accurate, black people warning other black people to be careful in dangerous areas such as the South), all that ire is derived from right-wingers just figuring out their "get out of being called a bigot while being a bigot-free card" and successfully propagating it through society at large thanks to mainstream media and people mindlessly spreading it.

I actually find it to be one of the most insulting things imaginable that these right-wing racists appropriated the term from the black community to basically express "quit putting black people into positions where I have to see them".

Fucking scumbags.

Lol. Given that this poster is no longer an active user and without clicking on their thread, I'm guessing they wanted Morale's codename to be "Blackie Chan"

I think it's fine though. Peter considers him Spider-man. So he is. Peter doesn't seem like someone who thinks there can be only one Spider-man.

Yeah, curiously the only people who seem to think that way are those who refuse to accept Miles Morales as a "legitimate" Spider-Man for "reasons".
