With great power, comes great responsibility — to edit out and diminish the effect of the human anatomy in posters, like removing any trace of man-parts in a poster featuring a teenager wearing a form-fitting costume.
After Marvel Studios’ collection of Infinity War character posters were released, fans were stirred by Captain America’s from-behind pose — a way of saying the internet found that poster featuring Chris Evans’ star-spangled Avenger just peachy — and now social media has provided some amusing reactions to Spidey’s airbrushed crotch.

I guess because he’s 21 and Spiderman is suppose to be around 15/16 they don’t want to sexualise it but now they’ve castrated him which is even more strange. Where yo’ dick Spidey.
