i’m always so happy about seeing mlm feeling comfortable about publicly crushing on tom holland, bc he and the rest of the mcu spidey cast/crew have made sure they feel safe in the fanbase. like seeing tom at photo ops doing cute romantic poses with guys the same way he would with the girls, that’s so refreshing. seeing guys show up to the spidey set wearing “mentally dating tom holland” shirts and the cast takes pics of his shirt and give him thumbs up for it?? good ass shit there. it might not seem like a big deal to everyone, but it really is.
i’m getting some messages asking for “proof” of this so, here’s some con pics of tom with some male/masc fans doing romantic poses, and one of him holding up the trans pride flag:
here’s the male/masc fan wearing a “mentally dating tom holland shirt” happily posing for the cast/crew when they asked for pics of him in it, this is from remy hii’s instagram:
and here’s a question that jacob batalon and laura harrier got during the “homecoming” press tour, when doing an answertime on tumblr’s stardom blog:
and then when later asked about it in an interview jacob added this:
on top of that, “far from home” will have two trans male actors playing some of peter parker’s classmates. the mcu spider-man franchise is a safe space for lgbt+ fans.
The real reason it’s a fucking travesty Peter Parker is “straight” is that he would have a fucking field day making gay jokes. Imagine Spiderman wit mixed with millennial gay humour. He’d be unstoppable
This post is pissing people off so I’m gonna add to it:
*villain du jour flirts with Spiderman* woah! I know I swing both ways, but your way isn’t one of em
***
Intellectual™ white supremacist: and when I’m done the entire world will be one homogeneous society-
Spidey: buddy the only homo-genius here is me step off
***
Villain: *gestures to the eyesore that is the Spiderman suit* what kind of fashion is this
Spidey, a gay, knowing that all his villains commit crime in their fursuits: fucking respectable is what it is
***
Villain, talking about the plague that is vigilantes: your way of life disgusts me
Spidey, with narrowed eyes: is this homophobia or arachnophobia
That last one:
Villain: Wait. What, no, no, I meant, like my brother is, I mean I think you are a fine person, I just meant, the whole you know other thing
Spiderman: I’m going to punch you to save you from yourself
