actually i think graduates of a university should have access to the library databases forever and ever amen
I absolutely hate to do and say this bc yall know I love Sam but with the Cap 4 trailer coming out today, I wanna let everyone know that Sabra or “Ruth” 🙄 is still very much in the movie and a lead. And in case y’all don’t know, not only is she a lead, but the actress is an IDF soldier in real life. Personally, I’m likely going to boycott the movie and may not even watch it via pirating depending on how this plays out. And it’s okay if anyone else feels the same way, we may love Sam and Cap movies but that’s not worth supporting a real life Zionist and IDF soldier
This blog was created for loving and appreciating the character of Sam Wilson.
And while for years, we have been anticipating the next time we'll get to see Anthony Mackie on screen, playing our favourite character, and proving to everyone how he IS Captain America, this is a reminder that Captain America: Brave New World has been directly called out by the BDS movement (a nearly 20 year old movement created by Palestinians), and we have been asked to boycott it in its entirety.
A zionist settler has been cast. Disney itself has donated $2 million to Israeli relief groups.
it is incredibly saddening that we won't be able to watch one of our favourite's character's long awaited film, but our interest and love for this character, and for superheroes/comics/movies as a whole, are no where near more important then standing up alongside Palestinians, and doing all we can to help them and to listen to their requests.
Join me in boycotting the film. Pirate it if you must.

With the release of the "Captain America: Brave New World" trailer, I think it's important to remind people that we're not going to be seeing this movie
And it has nothing to do with Sam. I love Sam with all my heart, I love him as Cap, Sam is not the problem here
What is the problem is the character of Sabra, right down here played by actress Shira Haas
Sabra is literally just Israeli propaganda, that's all she is, this is not an exaggeration. She is a character who represents the state of Israel, and to her credit, she does that very well, because she does not see Palestinian people as human. It took the Hulk telling her that killing innocents is bad for her to realize, "oh... so Palestinian children matter?"
I'm being serious, this is from her first appearance:
And even if Israel wasn't commiting genocide right now, her being in the movie is bad enough due to the extremely negative representations of Palestinian and Arab people
I don't care if Marvel says they're "reworking" her, Sabra represents the genocidal state of Israel and no matter how much they change her, that is what she will always be
"Reworking" my ass, you still casted an Israeli actress for her
If you care about Palestine, you should not be seeing this movie. If needed, pirate it, but do not watch this movie in theaters
We're not supporting this, end of story
me looking for ace/aro characters: lets go gambling!
[character's sex repulsion is used for jokes] aw dang it
[character is put in sexual situations despite disliking it] aw dang it
[character's identity is ignored by fandom] aw dang it
[characters creators sexualize them] aw dang it
[aro character gets 'fixed' by true love] aw dang it
[aro/ace character is literally an animal] aw dang it
[creator messes up definition of asexuality] aw dang it
[characters asexuality is never brought up in media] aw dang it
I know I’m a few months late to Dead Boy Detectives because it came out in April, but from what I’ve seen, there’s been little to no speculation about the actors (specifically George and Jayden’s) sexualities. Which is nice. I mean, it’s terrible that we had to learn the hard way with Kit Connor but at least people have learned
I got angry about the MCU again (hence the repost spiral)
Boycott them bitches 😌
