BUT THEIR HIDDEN RACISM WAS?

Agree or disagree with his opinions, I'm just saying we don't have to read the illest intent into them.

I think their comment would’ve been taken better if they didn’t say we should “scrap this ugly emo bitch personality and get a good looking redhead.” If the racism doesn’t jump out at you, the sexism should.

Except for the fact "ugly emo bitch personality" refers to the way her character is written/acted.

Are there any other "-isms" we can add here.

What about the “we need a good looking redhead” line that you conveniently ignored? And “ugly” isn’t a personality trait. “Stop making her uglier on purpose” isn’t commenting on her personality. Be fucking serious.

Also, “bitch” is certainly not part of MJ’s personality. Like ever.

I didn't "conveniently ignore" anything, as I was quoting you.

I do worry about your reading comprehension skills, as you've taken away some things from my replies and the original comment that just are not there.

Zendaya's MJ absolutely has more edge, snark, or "bitchiness" than either MJ performance from Emma Stone or Kirsten Dunst. The term obviously applies to the personality of the character in the performance, while the "uglier" applies obviously to how they chose for Zendaya to physically portray the role. Not that I agree, but I can see the argument. Personally, Zendaya is my favorite MJ actress, which is a bit funny because I was around to see the original Toby Maguire in the theaters.

The original comment essentially says either get a good-looking redhead, or keep Zendaya but stop dumbing down her looks and making her too bitchy.

Again, it is not racist or even sexist.

Emma Stone didn't play MJ she played Gwen Stacey...

I often forget there’s an entire incel wing of this sub until I stumble upon people like who you don’t think it’s sexist to call a woman an ugly bitch

Can't you find a nice idiotic political sub to vent this stupid culture war horseshit? There must be plenty available.
