I think if someone legitimately posts an apology like that, where they explain and be quite open and honest about it, it's worth giving them a second chance. Edge lord youth shit shouldnt ruin your life forever if you genuinely mean your adult apology. I know many wont accept that anyway. But if we fall in to the habit of retaining rage and online indignance over accepting any apology, then why will anyone bother to apologise going forward? I'm less inclined to support the director, who has tried to throw the actor under the bus while ignoring his own past. On saying that, I have no real interest in this. We have a great Spider-Man at the moment, both in movie and animated form. I'm not looking for a fan film of something being done so well officially. True enough. If they admit that that was then, this is now, they made mistakes and will try to be better people, sure. If they're doing it now and then won't own up to it/come up with the "Ambien defense" or something, not so much.

I have nothing against fan films in general, but I couldn't even make it through the trailer because it was so boring. Spider-Man sitting around brooding. Is this the Snyder version? If it was a Snyder version, Spider-Man would destroy New York, killing MJ in the process.

What’s wrong with the director? Besides the racial and homophobic comments, he didn’t pay his VFX team, got into a Twitter feud with Robbie Daymond, called Yuri Lowenthal a rather vulgar term and made fun of Jon Watts‘ Spider-Man films behind his back after Watts had praised the Lotus trailer.

Various clips of Lotus are being leaked online also, including a badly choreographed Spidey vs Green Goblin fight accompanied by Star Wars Prequel music.
The script has also leaked.

This movie is screwed! Feel sorry for the people involved that aren’t like these two.

A twitter account devoted to leaking things from Lotus has been set up. On-set photos, details of the planned trilogy (which would go on to include Ben Reilly, Venom, Kraven etc), and the first six minutes of the movie (with no VFX) have already been posted. twitter.com/Lotus_Leaks

I was about to ask why he's the racist Spiderman because I didn't see him throwing any slurs towards anyone in the trailer but sadly I know the answer

Made it months back when I was enthusiastic for it, got into an argument about it's pros and cons and decided to leave it alone, then Duke updated it with the recent info.

I get where Warden Wayne is coming from. When you grow up in that kind of background, that's all you really know. I know people who came from similar backgrounds who break away from it, discover themselves, and become completely different people. It seems like he's broken away from it and is trying to be a better person so I buy his apology as genuine. He shouldn't be punished for a past self if that no longer exists.
The director just comes off like a dick, though.

Which is ironic considering how often you negatively post about things. That's only your take on me. I neither post anything too negative or too positive. And even if you consider me a negative person (I know I'm not), there's really no excuse to call a fan's efforts to produce something entertaining for Spider-Man fans 'boring', just imagine if I or another person posting this could have been involved in the production and wanted to promote it to gauge interest. If you create art of any kind, movies, comics, books, etc. Not everyone is gonna like it. The trailer sucked. It's my opinion. If you like it. Good. But not everyone is.

Wouldn't Disney have hit this hard with a cease-and-desist, by now?

Fan films are a big gray area. As long as they don't try to make any kind of significant money from it, they usually just leave it alone. But this could be something that gets infamous enough where the Mouse's lawyers send a C&D notice.
