Summary of the past week of drama.

https://twitter.com/triplekyun/status/1671569433792479234

Artists getting spammed, doxxed, blackmailed (?) for doing:
- genderbent version (of Miguel) that was too curvy
- usually black character (Miles) in different lighting
- questionably aged character (Peni) in questionable situation

This didnt happen with the first movie, what changed?

Hype backlash of sorts, maybe more extreme views are more common now as well.

they made the "spiderverse" specifically into its own niche fandom, basically saying anything you draw is canon, so of course you're going to get weird people doing weird things and arguing and fighting. it's just what happens once something gets a "fandom" """community"""

look at friday night funkin, pizza tower, etc

Eh... not that strange for Internet shippers to change character genders

- usually black character (Miles) in different lighting
So... They changed his skin color? I can definitely see why that one would get a ton of hate

- questionably aged character (Peni) in questionable situation
She's definitely a minor, so this is "fair, next" outrage. Don't make weird art of childlike characters

This didnt happen with the first movie, what changed?
The movie became more well known? I don't know.

Its a bright background, so Miles looks lighter, not whitewashed. Not that Twitter can tell the difference, nor would it excuse people blackmailing the artist.

Miles and Gwen are minors too, doesnt stop people from thirsting over them.

Dont have anti-anime bias.

Zoomers and children have no personalities or identities outside of the media they consume so they take their interpretation and opinions on media very seriously.

Chris Chan was really ahead of the curve with the "SONIC DOES NOT HAVE BLUE ARMS" crazines.

If you look at the twitter thread about the blackmailing its utterly deranged lol. Like a list of demands being sent to some lady like a social justice ransom note

Its a good thing cis white men aren't doing the doxing or there'd be a lot more media noise and 9001 articles about toxic fans

Hot take, its better for 9000 fictional teenagers to have the wrong skin color or be lewded than one person in the real world to be doxed to protect the honour and dignity of fictional people.

I haven't actually seen the image, so all I had to go on was that vague description.

And I am in no way supporting blackmail, or doxxing (I've noticed that angry fans always resort to those though, for some reason). Those are never okay. I'm just saying that based on those descriptions, I understand why people would get upset.

Miles and Gwen are minors too, doesnt stop people from thirsting over them.

Nah don't whatabotism that. Fan art putting them in questionable situations would be bad too. But that's not what was mentioned, so I wouldn't know to comment on it.
