“I think readers are allowed to feel however they want to about a particular title and a particular creator, and to follow or not follow that title/creator as they see fit". - Oh, I see! Marvel will continue to publish stories with racism, misogyny, destroying heroes making them violent, murderous, just to sell more. Fuck you! Does not like, do not buy! Well… after all, I can't read Spider-Man. Unfortunately! After the M-word speech in Uncanny Avengers, I have not read Rick Remender anymore.

Marvel will continue to publish stories of all kinds, whatever we deem fit.
And you get to continue to read them or not read them as you see fit.
See how that works?
I don’t know how any of that calls for being foul-mouthed, though.
Nerd Rage.
Wait, why can’t they read Spider-Man? Or is that a case of “I can’t because I don’t want to. Stop making me do things that are purely based on my choices”?
My guess is, Marvel ruined Spider-Man for the reader by putting the villainous Doctor Octopus in the role. The character will forever be tarnished by the horrific things that were done by him during this time. How dare Marvel rape his childhood.
I asked my comic dood to put Amazing Spidey on my pull list after Superior ended, and he forgot. And then, I realized I didn’t really miss Peter Parker. I’ve always liked Spider-Man, and Peter Parker especially, but not enough to be like “YAHHHHH SPIDEEYYYYYYYYY”
When I heard about what they were doing with Superior Spider-Man, I hopped right on the train, and loved every single fucking issue of Ock in the Spidey Suit. Once it ended, in absolutely glorious fashion, just as it began, I missed the shit out of that character.
And I think what added to it was the fact that since I started reading comics, I’ve really been appreciating the fact that great stories need endings. Having these characters around for ages is fun and all, especially when the characters are great and the creators are clever enough, but the inevitable finitutde of Ock slinging them webs was special.
For the record, considering the statutory rape confusion surrounding Remender, I’m guessing that this individual is referring to the rape controversy surrounding Mary Jane consenting to have sex with Peter who was not really Peter. I actually had some really amazing conversations with people about theories of personal identity during that whole mess, and even used it in a class I was teaching.
