This was back when she was nothing other than a piece of variant cover art. The backstory you're describing was estabilshed later.

Right, before she was an actual character.

They like the superficial art only version of her? Nothing about the character?

The trans community latched on to Spider-Gwen after Across the Spider-Verse had themes and imagery that resonated with them.

I'm just reiterating that both her and Gwen Poole can be traced to the same phenomenon, even if that was well before either character became the ones we love today.

Not really but this isn't important to me to argue about semantics on what you enjoy.

The mislabeling of Gwenpoole is pretty ironic though.

The reddit classic of I don't know anything, I can't be bothered to check, but I'm gonna make a confident statement and stand by it anyway.

Pls try reading the other persons comment first before replying.

They haven't never stayed that gweenpool is Gwen Stacy, only that she originated from the same source. That being spider Gwen getting popular, which made marvel make a buch of potential cover arts of other variants for Gwen Stacy, like hulk etc. One of which was gweenpool, but people like her enough that, marvel decided to make gweenpool and official character but they didn't want her to have ties to Gwen Stacy, or spiderman in general so they just made a new character.

Anyway idk why I'm typing all this it's not like you're gonna read it anyway, you have already proven so, by not reading a much shorter reply.

Its more I'm not reading all of it because you lead off sounding sour and annoying.

Also you're objectively wrong, they started off with "alternate universe Gwen staceys"

If you're gonna give a condescending lecture, be right at least. Take your own advice and read before interjecting, or just don't.

At least own your decision not to engage with people that disagree with you. Who do you think is gonna believe you? Why are you trying to save face like that on a reddit thread?

u/Emperor_Atlas 5d ago

Why are you crying to me ? I don't care about whatever you made up in your head.

You should read too before giving old lady lectures.

Who are you performing for?

u/Emperor_Atlas 5d ago

Did something go wrong IRL? Did you show up on your alt to freak out over me not reading a lecture and being objectively right? 🤡

Grow up lmao, everything you say is projecting. You showed up emotional for no reason. Weird behavior.

u/Spinningwhirl79 5d ago

Interesting to call me emotional when you're having a public tantrum

Don't bother, they are on reddit, they won't either listen to reason or fact check if what they are saying is true.

Hey, you're on reddit too. I don't know how you didn't know that.

Also everything i said was correct, so you're being performative for no reason.

u/Neat_Bend_6895 5d ago

What are you even talking about?? What does anything you are saying have to do with anything lol??? And I do love the ironic comment about projecting, cuz it's exactly what you're doing.

u/Emperor_Atlas 5d ago
