Hello, JSTOR!

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

Will be boycotting but I can be sad about it.

Despite falling out of love with the MCU very quickly after endgame (I literally only watched. Like two of the films, hawkeye & FATWS after endgame) I’ve been looking forward to seeing more of Sam and the Captain America legacy. And instead of listening to literally anyone’s protests and complaints marvel decided to change the character that no one wanted in the film, to a basically pointless character that people still don’t want in the film, all to keep the actress that people are protesting in the film?

Fuck you marvel frfr.

It really upsets me that Sam and Anthony finally get a movie to focus on and showcase them, but it's marred by Marvel's decision to put Sabra, a very anti-Palestinian character, in there.

I understand why people are calling for a boycott of it, but it's just upsetting, because Anthony and Sam deserved a good movie about them.

Imaging thinking actual human writers are Not Real because they use... professional writing in their works.

Imagine thinking millions of people who have been using em dash way before AI becomes a thing are all robots.

ugh thinking about how much a golden retriever bisexual buck and black cat lesbian taylor bestie-ism would EATTTTTT like i fear they had no choice but to write off taylor the way they did bc if they made them a mlm/wlw solidarity bestie duo instead of that fuckass relationship they would have been too powerful

and like you KNOW she would have already called his ass out on being in love with eddie like if she were there like she would have taken one look at 7x4 and gone “are you fucking stupid?” with a slap on the back of his head

she would have dunked that big-ass pitcher of beer over tarantula’s head if she heard him make that fucking closet joke

she would have done a hit piece on bigotry within the lafd featuring tortoiseshell when buck told her he got left on the sidewalk by tomato

she would have smacked eddie upside the head already and told him to wake tf up

she would have done a hit piece on ortiz to get mara back to hen and karen

she would have helped track down the cartel to make up for hurting bobby and athena in dosed

taylor kelly you deserved to be a bitchy lesbian and im sorry they made me end up hating you in s5 you deserved better

I actually really like the idea of Buck and Eddie having some sort of queer platonic relationship going on. 🤔 Platonic love can be just as deep as romantic love.

So it's Buck with both his husband Tommy and his partner in life Eddie. I'd love that, actually.

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.

Not Elrond Peredhel looking at the orcs and going, "Wait, you can't burn the Library of Alexandria" while the others have blades to Gil-galad's throat.

That half elf has his priorities STRAIGHT.

god this scene i haven’t written would be so emotional if it came with 50k words of context i also haven’t written

On the topic of Disney boycotts, Marvel's Captain America 4, titled Captain America: Brave New World (previously titled Captain America: New world order.)

Will be the MCU debut of the superhero, Sabra.

An Israeli superhero, sponsored by the Israeli government.

Sabra aka Ruth Bat-Seraph made her comics debut in 1981 working for what's basically the Israeli secret service.

The comic cover she first appeared in, The Incredible Hulk #256, depicts her blasting the Hulk as a dead Palestinian boy lays in the rubble.

With the caption: Power and Peril in the Promised Land!

The Palestinian boy, called Sahad who was depicted as an illiterate theif was stealing a watermelon from a fruit cart in Tel Aviv.

That Sabra sees as inhuman until the Hulk convinced her otherwise. "It had taken the Hulk to make her see this dead Arab boy as a human being."

Disgusting.

Doesn't even refer to him as Palestinian.

Sabra also shares the same name as the Sabra and Shalita Massacre in Lebanon.

A massacre that many agree Israel holds responsibility for allowing.

And yes, Sabra was created before this atrocity but that doesn't mean they aren't associated with each other years later. Especially with Israel's involvement.

See Israel who are also currently bombing Lebanon.

Marvel has stated they will go with a new appprach for Sabra.

But Marvel is owned by Disney. The same company who donated Israel 2 million dollars...yeah I'm sure you're gonna make her less like an Israeli propaganda machine.

An IDF soilder is not a hero, start there.
