So cultural appropriation by cosplayers, etc. is okay if the character is Caucasian?

Someone doesn't know Marvel or Spider-Man or the Multiverse. Stan Lee and Marvel were always about equality. They were way ahead of their time.

The reason people relate to Spider-Man is that he has everyday issues just like everyone else.

There are many different people, races, and genders across the multiverse that become Spider-Man. There's even Spider-Ham. He's a talking pig lol.

Spiderham was one of my favorites as a kid in the 80s. I miss collecting comics back then.

Actually they are the reason he's come out of retirement. They're a lot more fun than the same old Spiderman stories that we've seen for decades.

All those recent SpiderMan (and other superhero) flicks are rancid bastardized stinking piles of garbage/rubbish/trash. Let's save the Stan Lee legacy and put this hero into retirement.

BTW, the reason given by Stan Lee for Spider-Man’s success as a character was that the hero was a teenager.
