# Raimiposting Raimiposting is a 4chan /tv/ tradition of misquoting dialogue from Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy with offensive lines, then acting shocked that such words could appear in a PG-13 film. The bit crystallized in January 2016 and became one of the /tv/ board's signature greentext formats of the mid-2010s. ## Origin The seed was a real line in the 2002 Spider-Man where the hero taunts wrestler Bonesaw about his outfit, a quip many later read as a homophobic jab[1]. On March 21, 2014, a 4chan /tv/ poster reposted the quote arguing it would draw backlash if the film shipped in 2014, and on April 22, 2014 the CinemaSins YouTube channel flagged the same joke as racist in Everything Wrong With Spider-Man In 11 Minutes Or Less[2]. On January 27, 2016, an anonymous poster tagged Sudowoodo pushed the bit further with a heavily offensive rewrite of a Spider-Man scene, launching the Raimiposting format proper[3]. - **Platform:** 4chan /tv/ (viral spread to /r/4chan on Reddit) - **Creator:** Anonymous 4chan /tv/ poster (nickname Sudowoodo) - **Date:** 2016 ## Overview The format hinges on greentext posts where a user pretends to be watching Spider-Man, Spider-Man 2, or Spider-Man 3 and quotes an invented line so prejudiced it could never survive a modern editor. Peter Parker, Uncle Ben, Aunt May, Norman Osborn, Doctor Octopus, and J. Jonah Jameson get rewritten as homophobes, racists, or outright sociopaths dropping slurs mid-scene[3]. Posts almost always close with a shocked aside such as 'Jesus Christ, Raimi' or 'It was a different time,' selling the bit as the poster's honest reaction to a childhood favorite. ## How to Use Open a greentext pretending to watch Spider-Man, Spider-Man 2, or Spider-Man 3. Insert an invented offensive line as dialogue from a specific character like Peter Parker, Aunt May, or J. Jonah Jameson, keeping the rest of the scene recognizable. Close with a brief real-voice reaction such as 'Jesus Christ, Raimi' or 'It was a different time' so the joke lands as feigned shock rather than sincere quotation. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Raimiposting?
