====== Spider-Hyphen-Man ======
{{ :spider-hyphen-man.png?250|}}

Some nonnies consider Spider-Hyphenation a hill worth dying on. Others don't see the importance of proper arachnid superhero punctuation. 

For example:
>//[[https://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/143958.html?thread=759840854#cmt759840854|Seriously nonnie, if you're going to bitch this much about him, spell the damn name right. It's not hard. I don't go around complaining about Hank Pim.]]//

>//[[https://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/143958.html?thread=759934806#cmt759934806|Spiderman flows better.]]//

>//[[https://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/143958.html?thread=759935830#cmt759935830|You are incorrect and of the devil.]]//

Another time, [[Yuletide]] wank was invoked: 
>//[[https://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/191501.html?thread=1046923277#cmt1046|I didn't use to care, but then the yuletide mods kept calling him "Spiderman" during Gwen Stacy Wank (2013 edition) while claiming they knew comics, so it's become an instant rage-button for me.]]//

Sometimes it's simply a matter of good fic vs. bad: 
>//[[https://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/178519.html?thread=971750231#cmt971750231|I've backbuttoned out of so many fics because I live in the hill with the flag that reads: -]]//

But sometimes nonnies ascribe greater importance to the hyphen:
>//[[https://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/455083.html?thread=2718454955#cmt271|If you really truly loved Spider-Man as he deserves to be loved, nonny, you would remember his hyphen.]]//

This comes up frequently enough as a hill to die on that nonnies have begun discussing the flag they should pitch at said hill:
>//[[https://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/193355.html?thread=1058554955#cmt1058|I'm actually trying to persuade a friend who can craft to make me a flag with a spider-symbol and a hyphen over top of it.]]//
> 
>//[[https://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/193355.html?thread=1058556491#cmt1058556491|Why not a spider, a hyphen and a man silhouette?]]//

On at least one occasion, [[https://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/321587.html?thread=1845886771#cmt1845886771|Spider-Hyphen-Man]] was used as a general top-level Spider-Man thread. But of course, there is dissent: 
> //[[https://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/238546.html?thread=1328417234#cmt1328417234|spider🕷man]]//

As well as poetry: 
>//Spiderman? Spider Man?//
>//Put a hyphen in if you're a real fan//
>//Stan Lee said so, fifty years ago//
>//When he was working with Steve Ditko//
>//[[https://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/154661.html?thread=826312997#cmt826312997|Nonnies, hyphenate Spider-Man!]]//
