Re: your tag about Spider being racist. If you rewatch the show there are two implied instances. The first is where Malakai is doing a dance outside the club and Spider looks at him weirdly and he asks Spider if he'd never seen a "Black" person doing that dance before. Then after the club scene when Malakai is brutalised by the police, Spider says he shouldn't have insulted him even though a few episodes before that he made a point of saying ACAB. People can argue it's jealousy due to Malakai's relationship with Amerie but, in my opinion, the writers did a good job implying a racial undertone to it as well.
oh yeah ik what scenes you mean, I always took the first one as Spider being more uncomfortable with the fact that Malakai was in a skirt rather than his race, y’know showing that toxic masculinity he obviously has and then that mixed with his jealousy of Malakai because of his relationship with Amerie just made him act more toxic towards Malakai
And the second scene I just thought of as Spider being obnoxious not as an intentional thing. We see him say a lot without thinking and I always grouped that line into that but I do see how it could be taken in a racial way
