The BDS movement has called for a boycott of Captain America 4 because of the character of Sabra, an Israeli superhero who kills Palestinians, played by ex IDF soldier Shira Haas, an anti-Palestinian actress who has made propaganda for Israel.

joey batey did not write "you're not a coward cause you cower; you're brave because they broke you, yet broken, still you breathe" (x) to be known as the toss a coin to your witcher guy
Cishet aspecs are queer.
Cishet aromantics are queer. Cishet asexuals are queer. Cishet aplatonics are queer. Cishet afamilials are queer. Cishet anattractionals are queer.
Aspecs are queer as hell and excluding them only isolates queer people from their community.
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
one of my very favorite obscure story tropes is when thereโs an episode/plotline/tabletop campaign session where the conceit is โeach member of the gang gets trapped in a specially tailored dream/nightmare/illusory mindscape and has to break outโ
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 โRuthโ ๐ is still very much in the movie and a lead. And in case yโall donโt know, not only is she a lead, but the actress is an IDF soldier in real life. Personally, Iโm likely going to boycott the movie and may not even watch it via pirating depending on how this plays out. And itโs okay if anyone else feels the same way, we may love Sam and Cap movies but thatโs not worth supporting a real life Zionist and IDF soldier

Just a heads up, there are bots going around on AO3 accusing people of using AI. Considering the timing, this is likely AI bros' retaliation for AO3 users calling them out for scraping their work. Examples of what you might be sent:

Aphobia is crazy because why does my decision not to fuck or romance anybody matter to you
rewatching the hobbit trilogy after lotr rewatch and I cannot explain how much I love Bilbo Baggins he is one of my favorite characters of all time and his characterization and performance in the movies is the main reason i have any sort of fondness for them in hindsight.
the amount of which i love bilbo is only matched by how badly i would beat that racist rat martin freeman with a baseball bat in the streets ON SIGHT
