That's the silver lining of everything these assholes do, if they'd stuck with one apocryphal story that could be plausible under the grounds of "like the little old lady Skrull reveal in the trailer, but more tonedeaf" their bullshit might have actually gained some level of traction. That would require thought and discipline, so

They're threatening his life because they ship Eddie and the Symbiote (they call it SymBrock instead of, well you know Venom, because they're crazy) and the Symbiote was just revealed to be manipulating Eddie into staying with him by doing some really terrible stuff.

I don't even know if they existed then. I don't follow crazy shippers of any kind. For all I know they could be byproducts of the movie. All I know is that the Donny Cates Venom book is real good and is the first time I've ever really liked Venom outside of Flash.

The rise of jumping straight to 'I HOPE YOU DIE' when two people don't smooch because fans have elaborately constructed reasons that exist only in their head that they should will never stop being weird. And, yeah, I know it happens in all media everywhere. A friend has stories about soap opera forums that would curl one's hair. Although the record lately was for Netflix's Voltron, where people insisted there was essentially a Snyder Cut where their ship DID happen.

This is absolutely the stupidest thing ever. Eddie and the symbiote's relationship has always been hosed up and abusive because both of them are bad people. That's why combining turns them into an even worse person.

Get high and think of me.


Is this happening because Eddie and the symbiote shared that passionate kiss in the movie? Or have these people been around before that? It's terrible either way, but I'm curious as to what the timeline is here.

Also that space demon vampire arc was a lot worse than what's going on in Venom right now. These people need to learn to pick their battles. <:mad:>

From what I can glean, the person running the account claims to have just turned 19.

The thought process really seems to go:
1) I like the current DC movies!
2) People who like the Marvel movies are mean to the DC movies, and I have seen some "Marvel stans" claim that Gal Gadot is a zionist, whatever that is.
3) Well... MAYBE THE MARVEL PEOPLE ARE THE ZIONISTS
4) Okay that isn't getting anyone mad enough, what if.... THE MARVEL PEOPLE ARE RACISTS
5) Having a hard time finding anything to use in that argument, welp might as well make up a bunch of stories about Brie Larson?

Like a lot of trolls on Twitter, I think they'd be hard pressed to describe zionism, much less give a slanted definition of it.

(should go without saying that this does not describe all fans of the DC movies but specifically the ones making up poo poo about the Captain Marvel movie being hatespeech to try to help Wonder Woman maintain supremacy)

Brock! Oh, man, I'm sorry about your...

To expand on what's been said, it's been revealed that the symbiote has been loving with Eddie's memories and physiology for years. For one, it made Eddie believe he had a sister who died of cancer (she was mentioned in an old 90's Nova story and showed up in that lovely Venom origin miniseries). Second, it turns out Eddie never actually had cancer to begin with and it was just the symbiote screwing with his mind and medical readings. And then, to really make sure Eddie would never want to leave the symbiote, it made him completely forget that he had a son.

This turns out to be especially hosed up when paired with Mike Costa's recent Venom run, where the main plotline was that the symbiote was with child and was trying to hide the truth from Eddie. Then it was all, "Help me raise my child so it doesn't end up all evil like my other kids."

Donny Cates added a few other interesting retcons to Venom's backstory, including how Eddie accidentally killed a kid in a car accident when underage drunk driving.

Is that even DC fans? I assumed it was the standard alt-right morons who don't like movies involving non-white men to exist. They tend to appropriate terms for liberals or the left for messaging because it goes over better than 1488 stuff to people outside the white supremacist sphere.

The particular poster in question is a teenager who seems pretty apolitical (outside of like, thinking Trump is gross) who for lack of a better term has been radicalized by her genuine enjoyment of the DC films and her shipping of Batman and Wonder Woman and anger at anyone who would besmirch her two beloveds. The thought process genuinely appears to be "people are calling my Wonder Woman a zionist, so I'll call their hero a racist! Take that!"

The broader Comicsgate/alt-right crew is just looking for an excuse to hurt women, yeah.

Update: the original is unlocked and is now insisting that not only is the poster a young woman but a young black woman and no white person can police their use of racial slurs in fake memes and everyone should realize it was just a troll to trigger the Marvel Stans so I'm back to thinking maybe this whole thing is a long con middle aged CG rear end in a top hat.

poo poo, I remember when Wonder Woman came out DC fans were threatened because it was proving more popular than BvS. It got to the point where I was seeing things like:

1) It's only popular because Zack Snyder was the one to cast Gadot.
2) It's only popular because Zack Snyder actually wrote the script (which he didn't, he only had a "story by" credit)
3) It's only popular because Zack Snyder secretly directed all the action sequences (because Jenkins, as a woman, couldn't possibly be able to direct action)

Started out meaning "The kind of obsessed fan that you're afraid will murder someone," shifted to "A fan who will hear nothing bad about their fave, including actual proven crimes," and then shifted to "A fan, but like, more than other fans."

Much like "hipster" and "SJW" it mostly just means "someone I don't like" now.
